Can’t say enough good things! We love it here!
Great program for instilling discipline and love into young minds. Thank You. all the ⭐️ s
The team at AFMA are amazing, our 10 year old enjoys going and learning martial arts. They are great with kids and make learning fun and enjoyable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn karate
AMAZING!!!! We celebrated our son’s 7th birthday party here and it was perfect. We had about 17 kids and they made them do a bunch of fun games and martial arts drills. They even provided decorations and party favors! Talk about ease. They dad & son teaching combo was precious and they were just absolutely fantastic with the kids. I cannot recommend this place enough. I am so glad we found it. Our son will always remember this!!
I'm always happy to bring my son to you all .he's a handful and I like the way you all handle him .thanks for your patience with him .
My son has been attending AFMA since he was 3 years old and he is now seven. The instructors are so knowledgable and very attentive with the kids. AFMA is a fun, engaging and loving environment. What I love most is how my son is taught to be his best self on and off the mat. My family would recommend AFMA to parents that are looking for an atmosphere that will challenge their kids to be more disciplined and respectful. You won't regret choosing this facility.
American Family Martial Arts has been a game changer for both of my boys! My oldest son is on the spectrum and lacks self confidence. I have seen a great shift in his self confidence since joining AFMA. Aside from the self confidence boost, both of my boys have greatly benefited from the lessons that are taught during class. The leaders genuinely care about your child's life outside of AFMA, and, to me, that is priceless. They want your child to succeed in and out of the building. The life lessons that are taught in each class aren't just read from a piece of paper. They explain the lessons in words that are very age appropriate. They are strict on the kids, but kids NEED IT! If you are on the fence about joining, just take the leap of faith and know they will teach your child life lessons and skills that will be used in and out of the AFMA building!
Nothing beats you enjoying the same environment your kid enjoys. Great place, great teachers and I’ll recommend 100 plus times.
Recent visit for a 6 year-old's birthday party. The kids had a fantastic time! Amazing to see the instructors wrangle so many little ones, keep them attentive and let them have so much fun. We really enjoyed it!
These folks are amazing. They not only helped my children get some fitness and learn karate, they helped both my kids learn discipline and commitment as well. My youngest son has a Downs Syndrome diagnosis and the things AFMA has done for him I will be eternally grateful for. They care about your kids and will move mountains to work with you. This place is such a blessing. Sign your kids up for some classes. You won’t regret it!
My two granddaughters have been going to AFMA for about three months now. One is an introvert, the other is an extrovert. In the short time they have been attending my sweet shy girl has become more confident in herself and has made friendships. My sociable girl has become more disciplined. Above all they love going, learning and have a great time. Thanks to the entire staff for your dedication and passion to teach my girls.
This place is amazing! As an adult student never having been involved in any type of sports, I was scared. I have been a member almost two months now, and I have gained so much self confidence and many many self defense skills!!! They do not make you feel worthless, unskilled, or unqualified to be there. They welcome you with open arms, are friendly, encouraging, and make you feel like you are the most amazing, talented person in the world every time you walk out of class. I went there looking for friends and ended up gaining a family!!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! It doesn’t matter your age, athletic ability, or skill level because you go at your own pace. You will get pushed at times only because they see the potential that you don’t, but when you complete the task... it feels amazing! I truly look forward to many more years of growing here!
Class was great because we tried new things. My favorite thing yesterday was playing the game and earning my star on my stripe.
My son had gained so much self confidence after attending only 4 weeks of classes. His level of respect and discipline continues to increase as his training does. The instructors and staff are great with the kids and go above and beyond to make sure they know your child’s needs.
Great group of folks running this business. My son loves coming to karate here. I've never seen him so excited about anything, and we've tried several sports and activities. Says a lot about AFMA. Very impressed with all of the instructors. They have patience and go the extra mile for those with special needs as well, making it possible for those individuals to participate like everyone else (just from my observations). That's one of the things I love about this place. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to try out karate. They make it a fun environment to learn.
They have the best teachers and, friendly service, and they can go with your schedule.
My son got confidence, overcome shy and is developing leadership qualities. He completed one year at American Family Martial Arts. Now he is in green belt. He loves karate and it's his passion. I recommend other parents also to join their kids to AFMA.
Mr. Foreman thought of an effective way to get the kids to think independently vs. following others. He gave them each different moves in Korean. We also like how he gives mnemonics for them to remember the words and actions. Evidently it's working and our girls are enjoying the classes very much!
Visited yesterday! My son will begin lessons Tuesday! We are really excited and everyone there is so nice and they work so well with the kiddos. The instructors seem to really enjoy the kids, while teaching life skills.
My boys have been members of American Family Martial Arts for the past 3 years. It has been absolutely amazing for them.The instructors are knowledgeable and know how to work with students. The instructors not only make them better martial artists but also better people. My oldest son has special needs. SBN Tullier and Mr. Foreman have been great with him. They are patient when they need to be and understand my son's needs. Since my boys have been taking karate their anxiety level has lowered and their confidence has soared. It has been a pleasure to be part of the AFMA family.
Mon son has gone got almost a year and he loves it. The instructors are greatand really know how to handle the kids. I definitely recommend it for beginners up!
