The instructor is amazing and truly cares about the kids and their success. Karate has taught him so much more than self-defense. It has given him discipline, confidence, respect, leadership skills, and a strong work ethic. We've seen such positive growth in him since he started. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get their child started in karate. The support, encouragement, and life lessons they provide are truly priceless.

Our girls have loved it and have grown so much under the tutelage of Sensei , Senpai, and the other instructors. It has truly been a blessing. A few months ago we enrolled the rest of the family.

It is so wonderful being able to work out with my wife and be reminded of important life skills. I can not recommend this place enough.

Romanelli's has made the biggest difference in my son's life! My son was diagnosed with Aspergers…read morebefore he was 3 and in the first few years of his life he was completely non-verbal. Eventually, with early intervention and lots of behavioural therapy he began thriving. But still, once he was mainstreamed in school and was academically caught up to his peers, we struggled to find something for him to partake in that he not only enjoyed but made him feel like he wasn't different and helped him engage with his peers socially. We tried team sports, boy scouts, and community events but nothing was working. Then we found Romanelli's. From the get go, you could tell this was different. The people here really care about their students, what your goals for them are and their needs. They not only teach physical form, but social skills and life skills. My son has been at Romanelli's less than a year, and already he has benefited more from his time with them than he did in 4 years of behavioural therapy. He engages with others now, he looks us in the eye when he talks, and he communicates his emotions with us. It has given him a moral code as well that he strives to stick to in everything he does. Best of all, he has made friends! He even started at a brand new school about 6 months after starting here and his teacher has said that if I hadn't told her he was on the spectrum, she would have never known. I know I owe so much of that to all of the amazing teachers here. On top of that, because of the relationship he formed with his teachers and peers, he has found something he is truly passionate about. He now loves karate and practices daily and it has taught him to set goals for himself that he truly works to achieve in every aspect of his life. This is no ordinary dojo... I have been through a little bit of karate at a couple other places with my older son as well as so many other sports and organizations with all 3 of my children. The relationship that Romanelli's builds with ALL of their students AND their families is a truly rare thing to find! If your child is interested in martial arts, or even if you are, you will not find a better place than this!

We were assured that they were comfortable handling him. After repeatedly not passing stripe testing, we had to remind them he was autistic. The final straw was the owner and sensei yelling at my son on the mat while he was having an autistic moment. When calling the sensei on it, he called my son pouty. We prepaid and was reassured a refund, 3 months later, no response. We jumped through all of the hoops they requested, including sending forms in certified mail, still nothing. I do not recommend this place.

NAAMA Karate is now called Ultimate Martial Arts to reflect a wider range of classes and…read moreinstructors. I've been training at NAAMA for about a year now. The sheer amount of knowledge and experience amongst the instructors is practically overwhelming. I've worked mostly with the grappling instructors, but the instructors in the striking based arts are top notch as well. Their judo, sambo, and jujitsu instructors, though, are where they shine. Steve Lafrate, Brian Pazdzierz, and Harley Wallen have something like 80 years of gi and no gi grappling experience between them, and it shows. Students of NAAMA are starting to make waves in MMA, and sometimes champions like Tony Hervey (from Warren, MI) stop by to train. If you are considering some form of martial arts as part of your fitness routine, i recommend trying out Ultimate Martial Arts (aka NAAMA).

A few years ago, I was interested in getting my child some self defense classes due to bullying in…read morethe school system. Not really thinking this was a long term commitment I could not be happier. I stumbled upon this studio years ago through Google. I took a chance and called to make an appointment with an instructor to see what was offered and what my options were. As there are several options for you and/or your child I thought best to start personal one on one classes and I could not be happier with my choice. Not only has my child stuck with the lessons (personal) for years she has a great bond with her instructor; Aaron. He has been absolutely amazing with her! Not only does she have a higher self esteem she now stands up for herself and no longer takes "garbage" from class mates! The building it's - self is not your typical karate studio, it's very "rugged". Remember you are not there to enter a fashion show! It's exactly what I had wanted for her! Focus on what your lesson is vs. what belt or uniform you will be wearing. As you do have the option though, comfy clothes are best. As for the price you will not be able to beat the offers here. Not only is my daughter attending classes my husband also started attending ( you probably spend more in fast food a week than you will here ).. On a side note, let me say that my husband works out at a regular gym 5-6 days a week few hours a day and never comes homes as hyped up and sweaty as he does going to Tracy's for a half hour once a week. He will be the first to say WARNING: Aaron will kick your butt!! No mercy for the weak (haha). You learn a lot in a short period of time and the instructor will not continue on until he feels you are secure with what was taught and you are doing the moves correctly with no hesitation. We hope to continue lessons for years to come; Thank you Tracy's Kenpo Studio for all your hard work in changing my child for the better!! I could not have done it without you; Aaron especially.

Using several different methods,…read moreyou'll learn not only basics of fighting and self defense, but also the history and science behind what you're learning. Mark & Aaron do a wonderful job leading & teaching & the other instructors are great as well. Our kids (ages 5. 7, & 9) go to the group classes & have learned so much. It has made them more confident and they get a workout every time. My husband and I also take lessons & have learned so much. It never ceases to amaze me how knowledgable the staff is & how willing they are to teach anyone who asks. They train MMA fighters, cops, & regular people off the street like you and me. The icing on the cake is they have really great rates and plans to fit different budgets. I highly recommend this place.
