What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Bridgette Cramé
"Family Martial Arts was a great place to teach the kids about self defense. The instructors were also so good with the kids as far as teaching the techniques with patience but all the while implementing valuable lessons for the kids to know and understand as well. It’s a great place for beginners and every one in between. They not only offer classes for the kids but classes for both men and women and also all age groups. I highly recommend."
Chris Whisenhunt
"Our family absolutely loves Family Martial Arts! The instructors are incredible—patient, encouraging, and highly skilled. They create a positive and disciplined environment where both kids and adults can grow in confidence, focus, and physical fitness. We’ve seen amazing progress and it’s more than just a martial arts school—it’s a supportive community that truly cares about each student’s success. Highly recommend!"
Chris Roseblock
"Family Martial Arts has welcomed me like family. The instructors are very knowledgeable and want to see you succeed at your goals. The environment is very clean and appropriate for all ages. There is a wide range of lessons and styles they cover. I highly recommend for anyone interested in martial arts or self defense!"
Travis Doyle
"My son is an amazing kid, but his parents are divorced, so that adds some baggage and inconsistency. FMA has consistently provided a curriculum and culture of discipline and respect that I believe is invaluable to my boy. My kid has developed a lot. He still doesn’t like to lose… but there are no more tantrums, and I feel we owe that to FMA."
