What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Matthew Ratcliffe

"Absolutely the best experience!! Our daughter is a student at Stryker. Professor Massie and his wife Dee are amazing people. They truly care about each of their students and their families. Sensei Eli is an amazing young man with so much talent and knowledge. The talent that every person here possess is beyond amazing. We encourage our daughter to continue on with Stryker for the set of skills that are being passed on to her through each of the talented people that make Stryker an awesome place."

Emily Y.

"We attended a hands-on and informative class to see how the kids would take to it, and they LOVED it! We signed up, the instructor provided details, and answered all the questions we had. We're super excited to get started, and I'm so glad I found this location with such an encouraging, helpful, and positive atmosphere."

Rachel

"Great place to send your kids for essential training, but I’m an adult who’s learning as well and enjoying the services provided. Private classes are the route to go if you wanna feel a confidence adjustment in your level of skill quickly."

Eric Hill

"My daughter has been with this martial arts gym for almost a year now. She absolutely loves coming to class each day. We couldn’t be happier with our experience here! Not only are the staff highly skilled but they are also incredibly patient and encouraging. They take the time to work with them individually if they are struggling on certain aspects. Beginners and experts alike all are welcome here. There is a strong sense of community here, with students and staff always willing to help each other out. Chris and Ms. Dee are absolutely exceptional and do an amazing job helping all the students. The facility is always clean and neat and well stocked with equipment. It has truly been a great environment for my daughter to grow and thrive. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone !"
