Dunham’s martial arts is amazing it’s the best martial arts school in town.I promise you will see yourself grow into a amazing martial artist and student.Over the last year I spent at Dunham’s I saw myself grow and I became a better person I now have confidence and wisdom and I’m happy with where I am and where I will go.I would highly recommend Dunham’s martial arts you will find it will become your second home and you will love it.

I started my son at Dunhams Martial Arts to help his focus and for the self defense. As a parent, I love to watch my son in his classes. Mr. Dunham works on the physical and the mental as every month they learn valuable lessons. I feel like I take away almost as much as my son from watching the class. I cannot wait for my youngest son to start there as well. There are classes for all ages and experience. I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed at all.

I will never take my kids anywhere else!! This is such a great place to take your kids to learn martial arts for so may reasons!

My Son has been taking classes here for 2 month now - the change I have seen in him is unbelievable. I even got an email from his teacher that she is so proud of him - his attitude, work ethic and overall mood has improved. He is always giving his best. Thank you Mr. Dunham and his Team.

Mr. Dunham is a great martial artist and teacher.

Great place I will never take my kids anywhere else!

Amazing experience! You should try it. Im 46. Youre never too old.

Our daughter has really developed a wonderful level of focus, and has really applied the always try your best model both in sports and at home since starting martial arts training at Dunhams. She is more focused and confident in her school work, and has learned to focus on the positive. She is excelling in other areas as well, as her self-worth and awareness has grown. She is willing to weigh opportunities and take healthy risks to achieve/earn greater rewards. She is becoming more self-disciplined in many areas, and is an even more respectful child than she was already. This is quite possibly the best investment weve made into her education and life in general.

Perfect birthday party for 10 year old boy.

I have been going for 5 years now at this school. The instructors are amazing and it is the best thing I have ever done in my life and I plan to continue to the end. :)

Its not just physical movement - which are cool, practical and protective. Mr. Dunham and his team adapt to best support the students. When the world changed, they added the online virtual training to continue supporting their students. From the opening mantra to the monthly character building themes, they strive for the best in themselves and the students.

I went to a morning self defense for women workshop at Dunhams Martial Arts in October 2019. It was very well presented and gave great tips for women for safety, including being aware of our surroundings, methods for getting out of dangerous situations, tips for fighting back as well as many other good pointers. It was very thorough and gave us opportunities to try out methods first hand. I highly recommend Dunhams Martial Arts.

Love it.

My son, who is 4 years old, attended the Tiny Tigers program at Dunhams Martial Arts for about 4 months. Throughout his time there, he made friends with other kids his age, learned how to be polite and treat others with respect, along with learning some self-defense.As a parent, what I liked most is seeing how much fun my son had when hes in class. He doesnt get to see kids his age that often and so seeing him have a good time in class with other kids his age was something I always looked forward to when taking him to class.It surprised me how well Mr. Dunham worked with kids at that young of age. He is very interactive with his kids in his class session and teaches them not only martial arts, but important life skills too such as being respectful to others and having good manners. If it wasnt for other priorities I would still keep my son in the program. I will for certain keep Dunhams Martial Arts as my first choice if my wife and I do decide to put our son back in Martial Arts.Overall, I was pleased with all of the services that were provided and would not hesitate on recommending Dunhams Martial Arts to anyone.

Dunham Martial Arts was a great experience for our son. It helped him to learn discipline and focus.

Wonderful. Welcoming of all fitness levels. Instructors care about the individual. Joining this dojo family has been life changing!!! I cannot say enough good about Mr. Dunham, the other instructors, and other students here.

Dunhams Martial Arts provides a great setting for learning and enjoyment. You learn valuable skills, gain confidence and improve your abilities through fantastic instructors, who take a personal interest in you and your goals. Chris Dunhams positive outlook, passion for Martial Arts and leadership of this school shows in each and every class. Through Dunhams Martial Arts, I have gained self-confidence, improved fitness, and many friends; all while learning Martial Arts skills and philosophies that help me in my everyday life. Its a great place for children and adults (I started at age 38). Id recommend this school to anyone considering a Martial Arts learning facility. Hope to see you there!

Great place for kids to learn karate and life skills. My daughter (7 years old) is very anxious and which causes anger outbursts if she is uncomfortable, embarrassed or doesn’t understand instructions. I’m just a few months I have seen a big difference in her attitude and confidence. Love this place! Thank you!

I consider us lucky to have found Dunham’s Martial Arts. My 14-year-old daughter has been taking lessons with him for four years. He teaches martial arts from a standpoint of defending oneself. Not aggravating a situation. I feel confident that my daughter can handle herself in ANY situation.What is unique about his practice, is that he incorporates martial arts into all aspects of one’s life-such as Health, nutrition, compassion, etc.

I really enjoy the adult classes here. I often feel more energized after class. People in class are good. I always learn something. And though i do not think i am as outgoing as others, being there in the environment you have created sometimes is another thing outside my job that reminds me that I am a part of this world and am a part of something bigger.The environment is always positive. Although I sometimes i get distracted by work, so far it has proven that no matter how i feel coming into class, i always feel happy i came.

I really appreciate the wide range of dicaplines my son benefits from while going there. Yes he learns about martial Arts and how to do the techniques but he also learns about dedication, honesty, respect and so much more. Mr. Dunham and his whole team really live the values that they teach and it shows.

I really enjoy sending my son into the dojo. It definitely builds his self confidence. I love how they teach scholar themes as well, so moral lessons for those not familiar. Its great that he learns these lessons from the staff, who he respects very much. Everyone makes you feel like youre part of the dojo family. I highly recommend if you want a well rounded class foryourself or your kids.

I started my son in the tiny Tigers class about 8 months ago. He was struggling with paying attention and behavior issues at daycare. The instructor was amazing form day one. Listen to my concerns for my son and worked with him one on one and helped me find the best class for him . I definitely recommend Dunham martial arts without a doubt . I can’t Wait to see where karate takes him🙏🏽❤️

Highly recommended this school!Mr.Dunham is a good teacher who supports his students and encourages them to reach their goals!

We started our son at Dunham Martial Arts about 5 months ago and it has been amazing the change we are seeing in him. Mr. Dunham and his crew are obviously very passionate about teaching kids every aspect of being a ninja! From manners to respect to helping out the community to martial arts! We are so glad we found them!

We love Dunhams Martial Arts! From the positive atmosphere to martial arts training, every bit of participation is a great experience. Our kids enjoy each class - they learn everything from manners to giving back to protecting themselves. Definitely recommend!

I joined the adult beginners class for a couple of months and I’m so thankful for the training and experience! Everyone is welcoming and the classes were informative and very fun! I was able to get a workout while learning self-defense skills! Chris is a great teacher and motivator!

My daughter has only been taking karate here for a little less than a year, but it has already made an impact. Her confidence and determination have grown a great deal. I love that each month not only has new moves to learn, but scholar themes such as loyalty, charity, persistence, etc. It really makes martial arts a way of life, not just another extra-curricular activity. My only criticism is that I wish class size were a bit smaller, but with several instructors helping, it is only occasionally a problem.

I have been going to this school for a while now. I havent had any experience with other martial arts schools, but I havent ever felt the need to. This school has everything. Great instructors, amazing students/classmates, awesome learning space. I feel that going to this has enriched my life in many ways (health, social, safety, etc). This school is particularly good for women that are interested in the martial arts. There is a strong female culture that is very supportive of each other. I would recommend it to anyone!

I have been going to Dunham’s Martial Arts for over 5 years now. Dunham’s Martial Arts is a great place to learn self defense, how to live a healthy life style and so much more. This is an amazing environment full of amazing people. I have gained a multitude of things throughout my 5 years at Dunham’s Martial Arts such as state management, social skills, leadership skills, self defense and so much more. I highly recommend Dunham’s Martial Arts to anyone no matter the age!

I have had a great experience so far looking forward to what is next! Great teachers and people to work with. I just started the path of Martial Arts. I wasnt sure what i was wanting. I found what i was looking for at Dunhams Martial Arts. Im more inspired and confident to take on challenges. My mind is at work with my body to become one. This is some awesome stuff to get your life together and start a new journey. Be Empowered!

My son had behavioral issues in preschool and started karate at Dunham’s Martial Arts when he was 4 years old. In about a month, he became a role model at his preschool. He did not just get energy out and learn self-defense, but he formed right living concepts and improved his focus. I do not normally leave reviews, but I am a believer in what is happening at Dunham’s Martial Arts and recommend this dojo to others. It sure helped my son!

Ive taken many classes through the years, but Dunhams Martial Arts has proved to be the most dependable, capable and credible resource in the Ozarks. The care that Christi and Chris have for their craft pours into their students and represents the arena of Martial Arts in a truly respectable way. The Dunhams are not only incredible people that you are glad to know, but they are incredible teachers you want to learn from. I would highly recommend the Womans Self Defense Class for any woman who would like to gain confidence in herself and her instincts. Thank you Dunhams Martial Arts!!

Very positive atmosphere! My 4 1/2 year old daughter has become so much more confident in one month. Mr. Dunham has a very encouraging way about his teaching, he boosts students confidence. I love seeing her do something that she is proud of!

I cannot say enough good things about Dunhams Martial Arts. My daughter has been going here for almost two years and we absolutely LOVE it! We are not paying for her to get her belts, but instead are seeing her learn life-long lessons in self defense as well as in areas such as attitude, goal setting, nutrition & fitness, and many more. I highly recommend this business (its more like a community/family)!!!!

My 4 and 5 year old daughters just started attending Dunhams Martial arts about a month and a half ago. They are home schooled and well they dont get a lot of interaction with other adults. This resulted in some shy little girls. Chris has done a great job of bringing my girls out of their shells. They enjoy their classes with Chris and look forward to class each week. After the 4th lesson we came home and I asked my oldest a question and she energetically answered Yes Sir. I cant wait to see how much more confident, respectful, and focused they will become over the coming months. Thanks Chris for helping us meet our goals with our children. And thank you for having so much patience!

I have been going here for a couple weeks now and each time I leave class I feel awesome. He doesnt only teach the physical moves but the mentality that comes with it. He promotes an all inclusive unified atmosphere that is amazing. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone.

Our 8 year old son has been attending for about 8 months now and we all LOVE it! He is always excited and ready for class. It’s given him a big confidence boost and made a kid that likes to sit behind the computer a desire to be active and athletic. Mr Dunham and all of his staff work great with kids. I highly recommend for any age, young or old!

My daughter started about a year ago. Its obvious Mr. Dunham and his assistants truly care about every one of his students. If you are looking for quality in an instructor, an outcome of improved self-confidence as well as discipline and a desire to strive for the best (for yourself or children), your search is over.

Dunhams Martial Arts has been instrumental in helping our seven year old develop self-confidence and strong leadership skills. I have watched our shy son transform since we enrolled him over a year ago in the Grasshoppers class- he is now in the Young Warriors class and is continuing to flourish. He has developed confidence and critical thinking skills as a result of the lessons and training hes learning at home and at the dojo. I believe that this has translated to his focus at school leading to him excelling academically and becoming more comfortable with interpersonal communication. Chris Dunham has a very special way with kids and he creates learning opportunities and leadership moments for all of the kids in the class. He makes himself available for each and every student and lets them know that they are each strong and valuable members of the class and society. The lessons that our son is learning are invaluable and ones that I know he will build on as he develops.

If you are looking for an inviting, clean and friendly place this is it! I attended the Krav Maga class and was very impressed by the amount of knowledge I gained from this self defense class. I totally stepped out of my comfort zone, but by the end of class I felt more confident than I did walking in. The atmosphere was great! Very friendly and patient teachers, very important for beginners. I HIGHLY recommend Dunhams. I also have to add that Chris, the owner, personally goes out of his way to welcome you and introduce himself. That right there should speak for itself :)

My kids are loving their experiences at Dunhams! They are learning and growing so much after just a few weeks. We are excited to continue our journey.

I love the atmosphere here. All of the teachers really love what they do and it shows through their teaching. Not only are they fantastic teachers but they also really emphasize giving back. They make martial arts more of a way of life than just a class to take in the afternoon. I have first hand seen the care that Chris Dunham takes to make sure and help anyone who comes his way. I really admire them all for more than just their incredible martial art skills, but for their kind disposition to others. Each student feels their value, and anyone who walks through the doors feels welcome. Bravo Dunhams Martial Arts, you run a great business and make Springfield proud.

Chris runs a very good program. My daughter is 9, loved his classes. He motivates them, encourages them, and teaches them how to lead. If your child is new to Martial Arts, or just wanting to mix it up Chris is a safe, positive environment to take them to where they will learn to lead & protect themselves.

They offer the best character training for my son. From Charity and balance to self discipline and respect. My son is learning perfect form and structure in martial arts and in character. I truly can not put into words how great Chris Dunham is and what a great teacher with deep values he has shown himself to be.

I couldnt believe the difference in my son from the 1st to the 2nd class! The first class he had a hard time with focus and following directions. By the 2nd lesson he had improved so much! He was even able to earn his white belt and was so proud. I feel the focus with Dunhams Martial Arts is on the kid and improving their life skills by learning martial arts and the discipline that requires. Great life skills we all need!

Started Krav Maga (Self-Defense) a little over a month ago and I have really enjoyed it. The class has been a great learning experience and our instructor is very patient with new people. Not only have I been able to practice how to protect and defend myself in an emergent situation, but its also been a great way to meet new people and get some extra exercise in! Thank you, Dunhams!

Dunhams shares great insights into martial art development!Its also the only place in Springfield to learn and play Capoeira as an added bonus to the regular curriculum.Dunhams is a fun atmosphere that stays focused and delivers practical applications for self-defense.

I started at Dunhams Martial Arts a little over a year ago, primarily to learn self-defense skills. Its always a little scary to start something new, but it was such a welcoming environment and training there has become such a big part of my life. Ive learned some great self-defense skills, but the workouts are awesome as well and Ive met some amazing people. Im so glad I made the decision to join!

The perfect balance of fitness, self-defense, and personal growth, Dunhams Martial Arts is THE PLACE to be! Compassionate and knowledgeable instructors facilitate each class and private lessons. Your experience is tailored to your needs. My life has been enhanced thanks to everyone at Dunhams!

I should start this by saying I am NOT athletic at all. I started here two weeks ago and I hadnt exercised in months when I first started. I have to say my experience has been AWESOME. Mr. Dunham challenges you but not so much that you are discouraged and dont want to come back. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful and willing to answer any questions you have. They definitely made me feel welcomed and didnt judge me for getting winded easily. I love the cardio aspect at the beginning of class then going into learning Kempo towards the end. Everything is taught one day at a time so you have time to absorb and really practice the techniques. I can not recommend this place enough!

My son attended Dunhams Martial Arts for 2 1/2 years. Chris and the leaders were very instrumental in helping to shape his outlook on life ...for life. It does not matter how old or young you are you are always at the perfect age to learn. At DMA you are taught self defense skills in an easy to understand manner and the mental characteristics and traits needed to set goals and attain them. Self confidence is instilled in every person and your children will leave the studio feeling like a million bucks. Thank You seems inadequate compared to what we received! Dunhams Martial Arts absolutely ROCKS!!!!!

No matter the level you desire to train at, it is possible at Dunham’s Martial Arts. If you like to spar and go hard, or are interested in more conservative training, all levels are welcomed and available. I visited several schools/clubs before joining Dunham’s, and the high quality of instruction and balanced approach from Mr. Dunham and his assistant instructors stood above the rest. Not only does their instruction increase your martial arts and self-defense skills, but they also challenge, give insights, and provide opportunities for students to grow holistically. Dunham’s training center makes sure students of all ages focus on both mental and emotional strength, as well as overall self-management. The training I have received has taken my skills to the next level and is well worth the investment.Preston Stevens

Just finished the 8 week womens self-defense class and it was by far the coolest thing Ive ever done! Great information, great instructors... A must for all women in this day and time.

As an adult, sometimes it is difficult to find a new hobby, much less one that is fulfilling and practical. Not only that, but to find someone patient enough to work with all of us who are not very coordinated is a challenge within itself. Studying Kenpo at Dunhams Martial Arts, however, is all of these things and more!As I get older, I consistently observe that we live in an age with technology that is increasingly segregating us from human interaction, impeding our ability to be aware of our surrounding, decreasing our abilities to manage stress, and even reducing our overall health and fitness levels. As our society perpetually grows more dependent on our smart phones, the need for activities such as martial arts in our lives is exponentially growing. This is where Dunhams Martial Arts comes in.What I appreciate most about this martial arts studio is that their passion to educate and improve students extends to all ages. They do a fantastic job of connecting and communicating with everyone, not matter what their background (or, in my case, lack thereof). Before studying under Chris, I had thought that only kids could learn martial arts, it was something you grew up with, or there was no hope. Now, I know that you are never too old to learn the skills, techniques, and discipline taught at Dunhams Martial Arts!

I definitely recommend this place to anyone! Mr. Dunham takes a holistic approach to teaching so you aren’t just doing physical training you’re learning leadership, respect, self care, etc.Awesome place for kids and adults! I’ve attended a class here and the women’s self defense seminar.

This is a awesome place. There is always so much to learn and ways to grow. You get what you put into this and thats why I do not miss a class.Very good instructors and they teach well and it sticks to you so please if your coming in try it out I promise you will love it.

Mr Dunham and his staff do an excellent job of instilling values while teaching karate. It has been wonderful to watch my child grow in self confidence and self control while learning how to defend herself. We wouldnt go anywhere else!

I started at Dunhams 4 months ago. Im in the adult beginners group. Classmates range in age from 15 to mid-40s. It is SO fun! Its great exercise and Im learning some valuable self-defense techniques. Mr. Dunham and the other instructors are wonderful! Theyre patient and explain things very well. I highly recommend it!The kids groups look fun, too. In addition to self-defense, they learn respect, discipline, focus and much more. I think every kid would benefit!

Mr. Dunham is clearly passionate about what he does and he relates to the kids so well! My son loves coming to his lessons more than anything!

Our kids train here and we were so impressed, my husband and I started, too! Classes are a great workout, plus building self-defense, confidence, and awareness skills. The kids classes also cover leadership, self-discipline, and teamwork skills.

We have been going to Dunham’s Martial Arts for over two years now. When we started the process of choosing the right school we consider cost and class size. The cost was comparable to others in the area, but the attention and level of mentorship that my son got at this school is what helped us decide on this school over the others in the area.Dunham’s Martial Arts also makes it fun and continues to challenge my son. When he accomplishes a new skill, it helps his self esteem. The school really pushes the kids to be their best in the dojo, at home, and at school and it teaches life lessons such as self-discipline, commitment, self defense and so much more. The instructors have shown a commitment to helping our son grow up to be happy and successful and were committed to do the same. We believe in finishing what you started and for us the journey to Black Belt is just beginning.

Chris dunham is a very great instructor! he has plenty of patience, understanding and always do his best to teach individual students to get their goal met. my daughter loves him and id recommended him to teach your child safety and self-defense techniques. he helped my daughter with her physical, mental and spiritual development; as well as entertainment. it is worth it and very beneficial, he helps my daughter to set her healthy lifestyle including disciplines.

My husband and I really wanted to put our 5 year old in martial arts. Having a little bit of background in martial arts, my husband wanted a place that was really good. An acquaintance told us about Dunham Martial Arts. We went to check it out and were very impressed. Weve now been there about 3 months. Just in this short time, I have seen a major difference in my son. Hes more respectful at home and in public. He has way more confidence in himself. Hes also developing leadership skills. Its way more than what I expected out of karate.Chris Dunham has a real talent in teaching. The kids respect him, and he shows respect to them. My son always leaves feeling good about himself.Were very pleased with this school, and will recommend it to everyone we can!Update:My son is now 7, and LOVES Dunham’s school! We’ve been so impressed with the things he’s learning. It goes so far beyond punches and kicks though. He’s part of a community family here. He’s gotten to know other kids from other classes, and looks up to their good examples. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers! I’m so grateful they’re part of our lives. My husband even joined, and my daughter will too when she’s old enough. I recently took their woman’s self defense class and was so impressed. It was very informative and really fun! I highly recommend trying it out! You won’t be sorry you did.

My son Oliver has been there since January and we love it! He talks about going all the time and enjoys it very much!! He is always playing karate with his little brother, but not in a violent way, he is always teaching him stances and blocks etc.! We love this place!

The master knows what he is doing and is great at instructing kids of all ages. My younger sister is a student here and she loves it.

The difference in my son after only 3 classes is phenomenal! He has behavioral issues, and is already showing more respect, more focus and has more self control and confidence. I can only imagine how far he will advance in 6 months!!! Thank you Chris Dunham

My kids had a great experience with Dunhams Martial Arts - they gained confidence and concentrations skills, and they came away with a sense of self-control and appreciation that we still see today. Cant wait to return the the Dojo soon!

If you have a child who wants to learn martial arts, as well as respect, focus and teamwork-Dunhams Martial Arts is the place to go! My daughter loves the class and has learned so much in the time she has been there. We love it!

Mr Dunham has created an environment for our son that allows him release a lot of energy, but still achieving discipline and structure. The classes are just the right size so that the students do not feel left behind or not included. And overall he has a great school for teaching, and discipline.

Ive been doing the adult Krav Maga class for month now. It is a great experience. Dunhams has a friendly and comfortable atmosphere and Ive met several fun new people in my class.The owner Chris knows all of us by name and pops in to say hey almost every class. My instructor Kevin is great. Hes really patient, but will also push you to give a little more than you thought you could in every class.I gave the class a try because I thought it might get me out of my comfort zone and give me an outlet while I worked through some stuff. And it paid off. The class has definitely become a highlight of my week. Im getting back into shape and am already in a better headspace.Highly recommend!!

We started our daughter 9 months ago. We love the way Mr Dunham teaches. I can see how he wants not only to see the students can defend themselves but that they also grow to be responsible adults.

I recently started training here. At first I was a little nervous and intimidated because I had never taken a martial arts class before, but I immediately felt welcomed here. I’ve learned so much already and there are so many awesome people!

My son just started at Dunhams Martial Arts and he absolutely loves it! Ive heard yes maam every time Ive asked him a question and he cant wait to get home to practice what he has learned. I see this being a very good experience for my son and myself as well. The first group session was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and the assistants were just as patient and professional with my son as Mr. Dunham is. Im looking forward to watching my son grow mentally, emotionally, and physically during his training.

I was very excited for my children to get this oportunity. They were amazing with all of the children and I loved how they focused on respect and confidence. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Chris Dunham is a genuinely good person who legitimately cares about the people he works with, students or not. He wants to make the world better one sweet ninja move at a time.

My son has recently started attending, and we like it so far. Chris is very thorough in explaining moves in a way kids can understand, he cares if they are precise with their movements, and he always has a good additude.

I started here a couple months ago and am loving it. The instructors are friendly and encouraging, the other students are welcoming, and the classes are fun. Before you realize it, class is over for the night and youve learned something new while getting a great workout. Ive recommended Dunham to my friends, and I would encourage anyone considering martial arts to give them a call. Hope to see you in class!

After the first class I knew this is where we were meant to be. This Dojo gives you the skills for self confidence, self defense and a solid foundation for life.

The best place to learn the art of martial arts . My mind and body have become stronger and I am more confident in my ability to stay safe and protect those who can not protect themselves . My journey is starting to gain traction as I finish testing for my next belt . Applying the knowledge factors I have learned to my everyday life has reduced stress, helped with inner peace, and has given me alternative ways of dealing with situations . I have made friends that will last a life time

Dunham and staff does an excellent job with kids. Not only does he teach the martial arts but also teaches right and wrong philosophy in a way that really connects with the kids.

I cannot say enough about this wonderful program!My son started here when he was 5 years old. He has learned so many good things from this program! Not only is he learning how to keep himself safe and what dangers to look out for, but Mr. Dunham creates a curriculum that encourages kindness, thankfulness, health, etc. They are not only training them to be safe and smart kids, but that training continues throughout their training.This program and the wonderful people that have helped my son along his martial arts journey so far are something that I will never take for granted! Mr Dunham is amazing, and so are the others that help with classes! The patience, thoughtfulness, and degree of dedication that the instructors show to the students and their families is something that cannot be matched! They are the best of the best!

My daughter and I took the 6-week Krav Maga class with Kevin and it was a great experience. We learned excellent techniques and got a good workout!

I have been attending Dunhams Martial Arts for the past several months after returning home from a semester abroad. When I initially began searching for martial arts locations in Springfield, my expectations were limited to a good workout and some routine in my life. I have dabbled in kickboxing and self defense classes, and most of my classes have provided just this. I did not expect the sessions to carry with them such positive energy, quality instruction, and diverse friendships (I must say, this is one of my favorite aspects). My beginner adult classes range in age from 13yrs to 40 somes, and I have learned a little something from everyone I have interacted with.If you are looking for a Martial Arts studio to train with, look no further. Dunhams will provide you with individualized support and, more importantly, a fun family to train along side with.

Our 10-year-old son has Aspergers, and was really struggling a couple of years ago because of problems focusing in class, and also with social and other problems at school. At the recommendation of the mom of a boy in his class, we decided to enroll him in Dunhams Martial Arts. Beginning with some private lessons, and then starting in the grasshopper class, our son was able to improve his focus and concentration, and gained the self-confidence that comes with accomplishing something difficult. It was also useful for us, his parents, to see that our son did much better in an atmosphere of acceptance, patience, kindness, and respect, which are all things that are taught and practiced at this dojo. We were able to share that knowledge with his teachers at school, which has really helped him to have a much more positive experience there. We would highly recommend Dunhams Martial Arts!

I attended the self-defense seminar on 4/29 and it was awesome. The instructors were friendly and supportive.

Mr. Dunham was inspiring and entertaining for our students. His emphasis on:Focus your eyes.Focus your ears.Focus your mind.Focus your body.Was spot on for our students.

I have thought long and hard about how I could best explain the good Dunhams has done for my daughter. Before bringing her there she not only had big attention issues but very little energy for life. Since shes started training there she says maam and sir to everyone she meets, she has more energy and a thirst for learning she didnt have before. Ive never seen anyone connect with her and other kids on the same level Mr. Dunham and the other helpers there have. Theyve shown great patience as well as corrections in a way that doesnt make anyone feel little or unworthy. They treat the kids with the same respect and courtesy as they do parents and adults. I have recommended Dunhams to many of my friends and peers.

The owner is truly passionate about what they do there. Chris Dunham clearly cares about each of his students and goes to great lengths to make sure they get quality instruction. I trust my children in his hands.

I’m so grateful that we had Dunham’s Martial Arts recommended to us. Our son has improved in focus, confidence, accountability and other-centeredness. Mr. Dunham and his staff walk the walk and have been excellent role models thus far. We look forward to many years with Mr. Dunham!

I would highly recommend Chris Dunham and his studio! My grandson has attended for a year now, beginning at 6 years old and I can’t speak highly enough about this program!! Mr Dunham and his staff are amazingly knowledgeable and patient in teaching these skills along with reinforcing good character, and moral values. If you are looking for a superior Dojo..... this is it!!

My daughter has been taking classes with Mr. Dunham for about four monthes. She really loves it. She cant wait to go to her classes. All the instructors are great. Mr. Dunham is awesome with the kids. He is great at teching leadership and life skills. If looking for a Martial Arts class would highly recommend for kids and adults.

My husband and I cant say enough about Dunhams. We went out on a whim at the Safe and Sound event and the kids wanted to spin the wheel. They had won 2 free classes so we tried it out. The kids were hooked as was my husband and myself. The kids have leaned so much. They have learned self discipline and kicks and clocks etc, HOWEVER I love that they are also learning to be aware of strangers and what to do if that ever happened. Both Mr. Dunham and Mr. Beckwitt have a great way of teaching the kids. They get down on their level and make the kids feel comfortable. Our kids look forward to going to karate and the fun events they hold as well. We will continue with them for as long as our kids choose to. 😀

Ive been training with Mr. Dunham for more than a year and I feel that its been one of the best experiences of my life. Not only have I learned how to defend myself, but Ive also improved my confidence, focus, and resilience. Mr. Dunham has a holistic approach to martial arts, encouraging students to train their brains and hearts as much as their bodies. The instructors are all very talented, respectful, and friendly. Classes are focused while still being fun and challenging. I recommend Dunhams Martial Arts to anyone looking to learn self-defense or to improve their health, or to any parent looking for a positive and healthy activity for their children.

I highly recommend Dunhams Martial Arts. Mr. Dunham is so good with kids. When my son first started, he could not stand still for 1 minute. He has kept at it, and after 16 months, he has passed 4 belt tests, is doing better in school, has more self control, self discipline and respect. Results do not happen overnight, and this is a commitment, but it is certainly worth it if your kid is struggling. It is very fun for the kids, but they learn life lessons and skills along the way. Each month Mr. Dunham teaches about life lessons, and the old kids just finished studying the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Definitely worth a try!

I took a foster child I was working with to Dunham Martial Artd and watched as Mr. Dunham worked closely with her to develop personal awareness and respect. I enjoyed the motivational techniques he used in his teaching and the way he was able to relate to the children. I teach third grade and have also worked as an administrator, and I have a great appreciation for the careful thought and planning that went into his lessons. Great work!

Dunhams Martial Arts is this fantastic world of positivity, character building, integrity and genuine work ethic. I started classes in January of 2018 with my two teen daughters. The three of us have now received our yellow belts and a whole lot more -- friendships, an excellent workout every time, and lots and lots of reinforcement of positive attitude and mindset. The excellent Kenpo blend of martial arts satisfies my background of Jui-Jitsu and Aikido. The girls love going every time and practice (respectfully!) on each other in between classes. They have learned to respect themselves and others, focus and block out distractions, and always try their best and improve every time. Oh, and my lower back issues have almost totally gone away, and no headaches either! Punching and kicking is such an excellent outlet for built-up stress, anxiety and depression! Mr. Dunham and his staff and teachers are the best!

I started taking martial arts just to try something new. I am a single parent of two children and needed something to do for me. I have learned so much about myself and my children throughout this process. I couldnt imagine what my life would be without it. I used to be scared to just go out walking with my children. Now, I wouldnt say that I am completely unafraid, but much less so now that I have learned many techniques on what to do should something happen. The instructor Mr. Dunham is a great teacher. He works well with all ages and can adapt the curriculum based on individual need. There is no reason not to try it out!! Join as soon as possible!! You wont regret it!!

I have long believed that martial arts could be an effective tool in molding a child into a responsible adult. This art instills many values I find lacking in society at large, values such as self-discipline, self esteem and goal-oriented learning being a few. I want my children to earn their places in the world and I want to give them the tools to do it. Martial arts was always the plan; since before I can remember I have wanted my children to be involved in this lifestyle.But how did I choose a teacher? For me, it was not the school that I looked at, but the man or woman who taught there. I would be placing my children under the tutelage of a very powerful person. This relationship would influence their lives in a way that none other can. Only their mother and I will be more influential in their lives than the man or woman I bind them with to teach this art. No one school teacher will have this level of influence. The relationship between my sons and their martial arts teacher will be one of the most important of their lives.When I placed my first-born child under the tutelage of Chris Dunham, I did not do so lightly. My son was there on a probationary period. I decided to watch this man carefully, look beyond the things he said and did, to find the character of the man himself. After watching him for nearly a year, what I found was integrity and honor. He conducts himself with a level of excellence that I find inspiring. He is a man I want my children learning under.When you’re thinking about placing your child under the direction of an adult, look for these qualities. I have found them in Chris Dunham.

I have had a chance to train there for a few years and have loved every minute of it. Mr. Dunham knows how to teach you in a way that will work for you and tries to accommodate any scheduling problems that may arise. He is friendly while at the same time tough enough to make sure that you are learning what you need to learn. I attended a MMA school for a few years before I decided that I wanted something else. Right as I was about to quit martial arts altogether, I met Mr. Dunham at a local event and decided to transfer to his school. I have loved every minute of my experience there since transferring in.
