We love Family Martial Arts! They are so patient with my student and set high expectations for the kids.
Family Martial Arts has been an amazing confidence builder for my son. He is learning so much about self discipline and commitment, and he loves the classes. We are thankful to have found this program!
We absolutely love this place! Unfortunately we had to move out of state, and we are certain we will never find another place like this. If you are looking for a place that treats everyone like family, you will certainly find it here! You can tell the coaches enjoy what they do and love each of these kids and they pay attention to what level your child needs to be on developmentally. Our 4 year old learned so much in a short period of time, and we are very grateful for the experience here!
Amazing staff! My son just started and they were amazing with him. Shelley even let his sister do some moves. She was very informative.
We have really enjoyed our time here.
My daughter has enjoyed all of her coaches- but the kindness and work that Coach Steve has shown her has really made an impact. He is wonderful with the kids, and always lends a helpful hand. My daughter really looks up to him.
So blessed to have found Brian and Shelly Baker last May. Family Martial arts has helped our son in so many ways. I could tell a difference in his all around behavior just after his first one on one with Shelly.
My son Anthony has been attending here and he absolutely loves it. I love the individual attention and goals he has set for him by the instructor. Shelly and her husband are amazing and really gear the kids in a great direction. Highly recommend by me and my family.
If I could I'd give 10 stars! As a special needs mom it has always hurt when I hear "mom I don't feel like I belong". My son has been here for 3 months and walks in and he can feel that he belongs. It's like a second family to him. As a mom, just walk in and from the whole team of coaches and owners they say hi if you have concerns they answer them. There's so much to be said about this amazing place. It's worth the money to see your kid smile and know that they are going to thrive here! Thank you to all the staff for making us apart of your family and we love you all for what you have done for us.
don't typically leave reviews but these guys definitely deserve one! My kiddos really look forward to their classes each week. We started with the 4 week trial. My youngest was hooked right away and we went ahead and signed the year contract. My oldest is a little more flighty and I was so happy that they let me wait the 4 weeks with her before signing so we could be sure she wanted to stick with it. I hear almost every Friday that she can't wait for martial arts on Monday. The coaches really make them feel welcome. The atmosphere is always positive and lively. Myself and my 2 littles recommend them regularly to our friends and family.
It has been great for our kids after almost 2 years, they will be here for a long time. Coach Brain and his wife shelly are amazing!
I looked at several different places before deciding to go with Family Martial Arts. The other programs I looked at and trialed were fun but I felt like they were just trying to get my son to have a good time so we’d pick them. At FMA, I watched Mr. Brian with the 5yo group for about 5 minutes and immediately knew we had found what we were looking for. This place was great! Mr. Brian and the team are patient and fun and engaging with the kids and at the same time have that “coach-like” feeling to them I was really looking for. The kids are having a blast while learning the basics of karate but also learning about respect and mannerisms and working on self discipline and that was really important to us in finding a good program.
This review is a long time coming. My son has been attending here for 5 years. I must say that even after five years, I still think this place is great. From the very first week, the energy in this place has been positive and uplifting. 5 years later, the energy is still great! Putting on a show for a week or two is one thing. But it’s impressive to have that same high energy over and over again for years. It is definitely the culture built into this place.
I am honestly impressed by the detail of instruction built into every aspect of their work. I’ve been around long enough to hear the instructors talk over and over about the skills students are developing through each activity. I’ve seen them stand on one foot or play an odd variation of dodgeball just to find out the odd changes have the purpose of developing some muscle or some skill. Seriously, how many hours must the staff invest behind the scenes to create activities that build martial arts skills while having fun? How do they make strength-building day fun? My son ends class sweating, out of breath, and yet still smiling!!
I also want to be honest about the other side of the coin. I’ve had times when my son felt overwhelmed, struggling to learn balance, a particular kick, or some skill. There have been times when he had to learn how to cope with coming up short. The coaches are patient and very good at finding the balance between pushing him to go farther than he thinks he can go or taking a step back. I’ve seen them break down a kick into parts and focus on just getting parts 1 and 2. Then the coach tells my kid something like, “we will work on making that better next time.” This approach leaves my kid knowing that he has work to do, but still feeling encouraged because he’s making progress.
Sorry for the long review, but if you’re trying to decide if this is the right place to enroll, I want you to have an honest, more in-depth feel about the experience here. I don’t feel like I’m paying for a subscription. I feel like I’m investing in my son, and in return gaining martial arts knowledge and a support structure that helps him develop in a positive manner.
Such an amazing place for the kids to learn and grow ! All the people at this place have went above and beyond to teach my son and work w him so happy he is in the program here special thanks to all of you!!
I am so grateful for Shelly and her husband. They work so well with my son and at a good pace that works for him. My son Anthony absolutely loves it. I appreciate all their hard work and efforts. So happy here!

In the words of Whitney Houston, “I believe that children are our future…show them all the beauty they possess inside.” All too often, the magnificence of individuality is overshadowed by a need to meet the status quo. When a child exhibits behavior that is “problematic” or “difficult,” adults often assume the child is defiant. However, […]
