We love coming here! We love the lessons, physical training, and the coaches here. Since we started bringing our son his behavior at school has improved so much! We have even received a call from the assistant principal to compliment him! This place is absolutely amazing.

We absolutely love this place. My husband is a former soccer coach and I am an orchestra director for a middle school. I cannot stress to you about how important we feel proper curriculum and age appropriate training is for our kids. Extreme Martial Arts has both of these qualities. If you are looking for a place that is intentional with your kids who will not only teach them martial arts but respect, kindness, honor, and thankfulness this is the place for you.

We have called many times to have them stop charging our account -- it should only take one call. No has returned my call. It was suppose to be cancelled in November. I've left many voicemails. Beware. They will keep charging you and not stop or return your calls to make it stop.

Good place to shape your child. It focuses on discipline as much as it focuses on Martial Arts.

Our son Gage started as a little Ninja when he was in pre-k. We moved away and tried other places for his martial arts but never felt the same as Exteme Martial Arts. Gage began to have trouble with kids at school bullying him and we did not get any support from the school. Gage became so quiet and withdrawn. We spent each day trying to build him back up from the kids at school tearing him down emotionally. When looking at places to move we wanted someplace that would allow our son to grow and become confident. We wanted Gage back into martial arts at Extreme Martial Arts. Gage changed schools, started back at EMA in April/May of 2016. The changes for the better have been more than we could have imagined. He has worked hard and became part of the leadership program. Gage is such a quiet and reserved boy when he is in large groups but he is growing every day. After being in their leadership program for a couple of classes learning about public speaking, Gage came home and decided he wanted to run for class president. I was amazed and shocked that he was ready to stand in front of his class and give a speech. He prepared the speech and utilized tools from EMA he learned. I was so proud when he came home saying that he won! The instructors at EMA were also so proud of Gage. One year ago Gage lacked the confidence to even stand up for himself or walk away from kids at school. The confidence, public speaking and life lessons he gets from EMA is more that I could have ever wanted for my son. We now train as a family at EMA and it has helped us all. As they say, "the family that trains together, stays together." Thank you EMA and your staff, we learn more than martial arts, we learn life skills that help us every day.

After a year of being a part of this amazing Martial arts school I have lost over 110 pounds, gained knowledge of self defense and body image confidence that rivals that of my time in the Marines. That should say something about the way the instructors teach and lead by example. If you have goals these are the type of people that you would want in your corner to help you. The instructors are world champions, every single one of them. And every single one of these instructors relish the chance to share their experience. I do not have kids but i have seen what they teach and how they teach the kids and I can safety say that this is the best place to have kids learn everything from life lessons, responsibility, etiquette, and leadership. Once I do have kids they will be going to this place without question.

Let me start by saying they're not a bad gym. Instructors were pretty cool and seems to know their stuff. Environment was friendly and they had equipment in good shape. They also had a lot of classes that was in the day and evenings so that was cool if you needed that flexibility. The big draw back has to do with their customer service. Specifically with your money. Twice I've had problems with them, the first time I asked them to freeze my account because I was out of town for work for a month. They charged me anyway. Took follow up on a couple occasions for that to be fixed. Lastly I've canceled my account due purchasing a house and having to reallocate my finances where it was needed. They charged me the next month anyway. This time I didn't get my money back despite phone calls and a disputed charge. So if you do go here, just be prepared to have a throw away Credit card and cancel it once you cancel with this club.

The instructors are awesome! The facility is great. The workouts are difficult but they push you to become your best and you see great results if you try your hardest.

This is a business that prides itself on being a professional and family friendly martial arts academy. I Have been training in Martial arts and BJJ for over 16 years and what i like most about this academy is not only the way they teach and the techniques taught, but especially with how friendly and respectful everyone one is. And if BJJ or Kickboxing are not your thing, they offer a great cardio kickboxing class weeknights that are great for a good cardio workout and stress relief.

The staff is very informative and takes the time to work with each student. Our son has been here a little under a year, and is progressing quickly. He has learned so much because of the fun and interactive environment.They take the time needed to make sure each student understands the moves before they progress to a higher level. Having to work hard for what is wanted is a great lesson to teach not only for this type of martial arts, but for life in general. We are very pleased how this academy is run, and our son is enjoying it more and more each day! Looking forward to many years of training and learning and fun.
