Our family LOVES Martial Arts USA! Master C and the staff there are amazing working with my son. They know just what he needs and how to best work with him, and most importantly, they knew him by name from day one. We checked into other Martial Arts places before we came here and this was the first place where we felt that they really cared and we werent just a sales pitch. They were upfront from the moment we met on the cost of the program... they had nothing to hide. The instructors greet us as we walk in and make us feel like part of the family every day.The best part of the program is that it is much more than just Martial Arts. They teach our kids to be good citizens. They offer rewards for doing chores, keeping up with their school work, and being respectful to those around them. They genuinely want my son to be successful in EVERYTHING that he does, and he has really changed in the months since we started there. My son loves going to class!!I cant give enough kudos to MA USA!!The Kerr Family

Honestly I can’t say enough great things about this studio. We have been a part of this studio for almost 2 years. My kids have gained confidence a hundred fold and the instructors are amazing at meeting each of my kids where they are to help them develop both physically and intellectually. I started training well after my kids started and now we train and play together! Even if martial arts is only planned to be a season of life, your kids and family will benefit for a lifetime by joining this group of amazing instructors.

We highly recommend Martial Arts USA! Our son has been taking lessons there for the last 3 1/2 years. He has progressed through belts by training in the Dragons, Ninjas, intermediate, and now advanced classes!No two classes are ever the same due to the high level of commitment of the staff to mix it up for the students. When a new exercise or activity is being taught, the instructors always make sure the students know why they are doing that particular exercise. No minute is wasted in class!Beyond martial arts instruction, character education is huge in this martial arts school. Every month there is a key word to focus on. Homework is offered to anyone who wants to keep track of reading at home, chores at home, practicing martial arts at home, and more. Students earn badges and stars for their uniforms by completing these which helps make them responsible and proud of their accomplishments!For these reasons, and many more unmentioned, we highly recommend a visit to Martial Arts USA! They exhibit courtesy, integrity, perseverance, indomitable spirit, and victory! Belt Black Attitude!

You will not find a better martial arts school around. The instructors and staff are simply THE BEST. Master Cvitak is the most motivational instructors that I know. He is looked up to and admired by everyone in the martial arts community. Martial Arts USA is the premier place for martial arts instruction in the area!

My son & daughter (now almost 13 & 15) started Martial Arts, USA over 2 years ago. The character & values all 5 instructors and classmates provide are 2nd to none. If they are motivated with goals, the school will see them through. Great place for all ages in a family environment. Nice, clean & professional facilities. Great amount of options for training to fit your schedule. A great benefit to children/teenagers in many different areas of their lives.

I have 3 young boys that have taken martial arts here for about a year and a half. My two older boys, 13 & 12, have enjoyed an increase in self-confidence, physical conditioning, and leadership. They look forward to classes and have been given the opportunity to help out in classes for lower ranks.My youngest son is autistic. The benefits he has reaped are nothing short of astonishing. He has become more social, responding to the greetings and comments of others. The physical benefits for him include a huge difference in balance. He can now be one foot, spin, and even jump! He needs more reminding of sequences, but can accomplish these now. He receives extra help in class when necessary from the instructors and leadership team. He also gets positive encouragement throughout the class.The biggest reason we keep coming back here for classes is that when the boys are finished with class they are pumped up with enthusiasm!

The owners and staff are very friendly and you can see they enjoy what they are doing. They learn your childs name very quickly and make it a point to include everyone. Our son is having a great time, I can see him listening and learning while getting new skills and exercise. I wish we would have got him here sooner.

We love Martial Arts USA! Both of my boys having been taking classes there for almost two years. The instructors are wonderful and very patient with the students!!!!

Martial Arts USA has been life changing for me and my kids. The confidence and physical benefits are extraordinary. The curriculum is focused on so much more than just learning to fight an defend yourself. It is truly character building in every aspect. The staff under the direction of Mr. C, the schools owner, is extremely encouraging and helpful. No two classes are ever the same, and all the students are positive and supporting of everyone in class from the youngest to the oldest. I would recommend Martial Arts USA to anyone interested in starting a martial arts program for the first time or coming back to study more.

My son started taking classes here in 2011 due to some behavior issues and inability to focus. Martial Arts USA has done wonders with him and for our whole family. He is now a black belt! Our younger son, my husband, and I have all started taking classes as well. This place has changed our lives. I just cant imagine how different we would be without the influence of Mr. C, Heather and all the incredible staff in our lives. They push us and we want to be better not just at Martial Arts, but at life in general. We love to see how far our son has come. We looked into several other places before deciding on Martial Arts USA and we are so thankful that God led us to this place. We recommend them to everyone! We cant wait for our whole family to be black belts! - The Mayo Family

Our son started with Mr. C almost two years ago. His self esteem and discipline have improved considerably. He loves it and wants to become as high a rank as Mr. C!!!We loved it so much we also joined! The instruction is awesome and the physical workout can be intense. If you strive for community, the staff and family involvement at Martial Arts USA is OUTSTANDING!!!

We love this martial arts school. My son is always eager to get to class. The instructors are nice, caring, and have great control over the classes. The kids are very engaged in learning. I appreciate how Martial Arts USA not only encourage and teach self esteem but respect for themselves, teachers and parents. I recommend this facility for anyone looking for a positive outlet for their kids.

My grandson started at Martial Arts USA just under a month ago. I have been so impressed with everything about this program and the people who run it. Since the day we walked in to sign him up, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. He was introduced to each of the instructors and Mr. Kyle let us know that he would be shadowing Noah to help him through his first few classes. I am so impressed that the instructors take time with each child to show proper positioning and technique. They dont rush them; they truly want each child to succeed. I like the number of instructors participating in each class. They pay close attention to the children, making sure they are paying attention to and respecting the class and the instructors. We hear from the school regularly through mailings that have great life lessons to share with your child. Master Jeff teaches more than just martial arts, he teaches respect, self-discipline, focus, self-esteem and much more. He and his staff seem to really enjoy children. I would recommend Martial Arts USA to anyone! Shelly Grauberger (Noah)

My daughter started classes when she was 4 years old. I have seen a tremendous amount of courage and confidence well up from within her over the last 4 years. She is a very respectable child and I truly thank the Martial Arts USA team for supporting her in that aspect. The staff is wonderfully helpful and kind to everyone who steps foot in their doors. You can see how much they truly care about the children they are instructing and giving life lessons to.Thanks, Martial Arts USA!Brenda Nix

Martial Arts USA is such an awesome place to take Martial Arts classes. Ive been taking classes here for almost 2 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I would have never imagined myself doing the things Im doing now and enjoying them two years ago. We learn self-defense, sparring, advanced kicks, and so much more. The instructors are fantastic! They are motivating and very supportive in all students who attend. They want all students to succeed in their training. Their programs for the little kids (Little Dragons and Little Ninjas ages 4-6) are excellent, also. My 5 year old loves the classes and the teachers who teach them. Everyone there is very kind and caring. Martial Arts USA has changed mine and my kids lives and we will continue to train with them.

My son has been taking martial arts at Martial Arts USA for about a month. It is awesome and he loves it. The instructors are wonderful and take an interest in helping the kids learn martial arts. They are raising the students self-esteem and confidence. The students are being taught respect and responsibility and how to apply that to everyday life. Martial Arts USA is fun and full of positive energy. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of learning martial arts!:)Wendy Piersall

Martial Arts USA is an amazing school for my kids and I to attend. The instructors are very helpful and the classes are fun and informational. Not only do you learn how to box, kick, spar, self defense, and break boards, but its a great place to make friends and earn a second family. We have been doing classes here for about 2 1/2 years and still loving it and learning lots. I was skeptical before I started thinking that this would not be for me, but I tried it and loved it from the start. It has given me and my kids confidence that we can do whatever we put our minds to. Thank you Mr. C and staff for giving us a wonderful school and for making us feel at home and cared for, and for helping us with that positive mindset that we can do it.

My son has really enjoyed the program. He has been a member for 18 months and I have seem him grow tremendously with the program. It is more than karate. They teach self respect and many other key disciplines that are good in life and school. The staff got to know him and the family very quickly. They greet us every time we walk in the door. They truely care about every member.

We love Martial Arts USA. Mr. C and staff are amazing with the kids and families. We felt accepted from the first class a year ago. They go above and beyond their responsibilities in making the kids accountable for their actions & reinforces their achievements with much enthusiasm. The monthly postcards from the staff, to my son, confirming their hard work during class is really a booster in his confidence & confirms that the instructors are paying attention to his abilities.We love the correlation between home chores, reading, school work & MA practice encouraging the importance of how they are all connected in life. We love the monthly word of the month & the homework sheets required to earn their badges. My sons MA jackets is covered with stars & badges of his hard work and commitment .. he feels pretty proud of himself every time he puts it on.I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a structured, accountable, positive and enthusiastic sport for their child to participate in. We loved the 30 day free trial before we committed to lessons. It gave our son an appropriate amount of time to really make sure this was the sport he wanted to commit to. He is looking forward to earning his black belt.

Our son has been going to Martial Arts USA for over a year. He has loved it from the beginning. He has more confidence, is more respectful, and is demonstrating more discipline and self control since starting the program. You can tell that Mr. C and his staff are passionate about helping to shape the lives of these young people. They really work to promote good character in their students. The atmosphere is friendly and fun, but the kids know that they are expected to work hard and put forth black belt effort in class and in life. I would recommend this program to any parent looking for a constructive activity for their child.

The school and the instructors are top notch. Its not just a belt mill. My whole family attends and we learn lessons that improve our bodies, minds and make us better citizens as well as learning an important skill. For the children and my wife, it makes me feel good that they are learning self-defense skills just in case the worst happens they know how to escape danger. I recommend this school to anyone and any age five and up. You get the best introductory deal ever: free month and free uniform. Awesome school!

Martial Arts USA is Fantastic! Mr. C and his Entire Staff are Outstanding ~ both on the mat (during classes) and off! My son and nephew attend classes weekly, and love being there every chance they get! They not only learn martial art skills & self defense, but also respect & other positive character-building traits which are discussed, practiced, and expected at the facility, as well as in everyday life!... I would Strongly recommend Martial Arts USA for Children & Adults!

My 8yo son has been taking martial arts from this school for about 18 months. He has gained balance and coordination, self-defense skills, strength, and confidence since starting the program. The instructors are top-notch. Mr. C provides a wonderful environment for the kids to be challenged in all aspects of their lives .... at martial arts, at school, and at home. This is a great program and I would highly recommend it!

We love MAUSA! The instructors are positive and caring. They are quick to praise and when needed, kind in their correction. They have high expectations without being unreasonable. I love that they have created a safe place for my daughter to stretch, be challenged and grow. I am also amazed at the friendships I have developed with the instructors and other parents. We really are like a big family!

My boyfriend goes here & Ive gone once & all the instructors are so nice. I asked one of them who doesnt know me to send me videos of my boyfriend in class so I could show his grandma & he was awesome about it. He sent me a bunch & they are always so nice to me & Im not even a student. My boyfriend loves all them & the training.

Two years ago our son decided he wanted to try karate. We figured he would try it out and lose interest like so many other things. We were wrong! We started with Martial Arts USA and that was it, he was hooked! Two years later and he loves it even more! They have taught him so much more than just moves, he has learned respect, patience, and self confidence. He has also been taught self defense, he now knows how to escape if someone tries to grab him! It is an amazing school with an amazing owner and amazing instructors! They are like a family here and treat the kids like they are their own. They genuinely care. I am so glad we found Martial Arts USA, My only regret is not signing him up sooner!!

Im pleased with how well my spouse and kids have progressed in many areas of life since starting to train at Martial Arts USA. Mr. C and the entire staff are dedicated professionals who continually seek further professional development, not only in new martial arts techniques, but also in instructing, motivating, and encouraging students of all ages.My desire for my family is that they develop greater levels of self-confidence, respect, commitment, and fitness, and that they learn how to take care of themselves if they ever get into a bad situation (i.e. self-defense). MA USA encourages, trains, and motivates all students in this way and Ive seen my kids and spouse grow remarkably in all of these areas over the past 18 months since we got involved. Great job, MA USA team!

I have two boys (age 5 and age 8) that take classes at Martial Arts USA and we are thrilled with the experience.My youngest is painfully shy and we have seen him becoming more and more outgoing since he started taking classes. My favorite thing Ive seen them learn in class (Little Dragon class) is when they cover stranger danger. They cover possible stranger situations (being grabbed by the arm or foot, being picked up, etc.) and teach them how to escape those situations. Its great peace of mind to know that my son has the knowledge to get out of possible dangerous stranger situations. Weve also seen improvements with his attitude, being more responsible, and listening/focus.My oldest had some trouble with being pushed around by a few kids last year at school and we thought maybe Martial Arts could help him. It didnt take long for us to see his confidence soar. Just the other day at his baseball teams party we watched him break up a situation where a kid was picking on another, smaller kid. We were hoping for him to gain the confidence to stand up for himself and were surprised to see that he also gained the confidence to stand up for someone else. Weve also seen great improvements in his attitude, being more responsible, effort, honesty, and becoming stronger, both mentally and physically.One thing we were really surprised to find out when we joined Martial Arts USA is how involved and encouraging they are. The kids are rewarded for grades in school, practicing Martial Arts, reading at home, doing chores and more. They also motive the kids with character building discussions in class. Plus, the instructors are so great with the kids. We are really pleased with them and our boys adore them. They are setting such wonderful examples for the kids.I would highly recommend Martial Arts USA to anyone who would like to see their kid(s) learn not just Martial Arts but also learn about building strong, positive characteristics too.

Martial Arts USA is an family friendly environment. It is a great place for the whole family to learn martial arts. The staff is wonderful! They have created a great environment for kids and adults to learn tae kwon do and jujitsu and make friends at the same time! The program is structured where kids can learn the art and other important character builders like discipline, respect and commitment. Participating in classes is an investment in your child! We love Martial Arts USA.

Seeing pictures of Mr. Biggers without a beard is like seeing baby pictures. But, that’s not a bad thing. I’m enrolled in the leadership team, jiu jitsu, and mixed martial arts program and I can say: I do not want to be a stealth ninja, I want to be the best me I can be. ANYONE with a blue jacket is HEAVILY trained and qualifies to go into the instructor position. Especially if they are accepted in the first place.These instructors are the most inspiring men and women you will ever meet. From the moment I walked in, I was inspired by Josh Parent and Brian Cain. They are by far the best instructors I personally have and ever will work with. They know exactly what they are doing and they base how they act on what kids they are teaching yet still build a bond with them. Mr. C tells us we can copy instructors because they’re doing it right and for anyone who dares to say they aren’t doing it right are VERY wrong. Every single time I want to quit, I remember every single one of the leadership team members and I keep going, keep pushing.I can’t thank this gym enough. I truly can’t. I can’t thank Kyle enough for the personal lessons, I can’t thank Mr. C enough for helping me through every single roadblock I’ve hit, and I can’t thank Brian for being one of my best friends. I can’t thank any of them enough.This gym will always hold a special place in my heart.

I LOVE Martial Arts USA. My son started the program when he turned 4 years old and has been doing karate for the last 4 years (graduating from Dragons to Ninja to big kid class now). I specifically placed him in karate after hearing about the benefits it can have with children who have behavior/attention difficulties (i.e. ADHD) and all the benefits of eye hand coordination, social interaction with peers, following instructions in group setting and dynamic balance for sports. The staff at Martial Arts USA is attentive to my sons special needs and really cares about his learning ability to be successful in life. My son has benefited in so many countless ways throughout these last 4 years :o) If I didnt put my son in karate, I dont know where he would be in life today. I love the motto they use: Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, abdominal spirit and victory. They are a BLACK BELT school, dedicated and motivated to helping every single one of their karate students to be successful in life :o) I recommend Martial Arts USA to everyone I meet!!

We came from Brazil 3 years ago. My son Tales was introduced to Karate first in his life at USA Martial Arts. I was not so sure I wanted him involved in it, why would want my son learning how to fight and intimidate others? After going for awhile I found out that Karate is a different world then I could ever imagined! There at USA Martial Art not only Tales and Johannes learned Discipline, respect, self steam, confidence, balance both physical and emotional, but we the whole family learned and enjoy every minute spent there! the owners are the best example of companionship both He and his wife are very good at hosting you will always see them around greeting talking helping! The staff is just as awesome VERY friendly.Its a place for the whole family it goes way and beyond Karate skills!!If I could afford my husband and I would do it also without a doubt.YES I CAN!!!

My son started when he was in Kdg - hes now in 8th grade - & has never looked back!!My daughter & I started this fall. Were both hooked!!!!Martial Arts USA offers incredible workouts that challenge you whatever your physical fitness level. The instructors are friendly & connect with the children in a great way, remembering important events & helping build strong character.Two of my favorite aspects about Martial Arts USA: the Jumpstart Program, trying it out for 30 days to see if its a good fit for you or your child; and for the children, Character Circle Time, where they discuss what the character word of the month means at home, school or even among friends.If youre considering trying it out, I promise you wont be disappointed!!!

Absolutely horrible customer service.... They are obviously amateurs.There are alot better and more experienced people to go to. They are not worth it...

My nephew has been going to this school for 2 years. This place is good for families that want to give there children something to do. This school is not set up to turn your child in to a top rate martial artist. and I honestly am shocked at the amount of tuition they charge considering they do not participate in tournaments or affiliate themselves with any other martial arts organization. Including the ATA. Ive been to numerous belt testings and seen many black belts handed over when the student was not ready. However, the Master insist that the belt is earned through time, not talent. In my opinion this is an insult to many who work hard and have failed and persevered to earning the black belt. The instructors are good. However, I often see them visiting with each other and not focusing on the students when they really need help. Often running bag drill and letting the students do it wrong and not doing anything to correct it. very frustrating to watch! For a $125 a month and a class full of kids. Id expect a 100%, all the time. Your kid will get a black belt as long as you go to class and pay for it. This school will not fail you. So if thats the kind of success your looking for this school will give you a black belt. but if your looking to be a stealth ninja... look elsewhere. . PS these google reviews are here because they offered a prize for people that submitted a google review during their summer picnic... Enough said.

My grandson attended here.Pros: Nice facility and a positive environment. Excellent mat chats from Mr. C. Probably good for self -esteemCons: Not traditional Martial Arts such as Taekwondo or Kenpo Karate. Although tenets come from Taekwondo, Taekwondo is not taught as there are no forms etc. Not a place to learn what most think of as a Martial Art and not sure how it would be recognized elsewhere. It is also very expensive.

Our daughter started classes as a Little Dragon and soon ranked up to Little Ninjas. Her focus is unbelievable and she takes great pride in what the instructors have taught her. Not only has she learned self defense, but self pride and respect as well. Martial Arts USA has a great program and I would strongly recommend. I believe in their methods so much that I joined and as an adult it has done wonders for my ability to believe in myself. It was not easy for me to put myself out there, but they are so welcoming and patient.. well its just a great place to be. The Marital Arts USA Staff is also to be commended for the charties they serve. They are an amazing group of people and Im so pround to be apart of their family! Many thanks to you and your staff!!
