Ripple Effect Martial Arts

We've been with Ripple Effect Martial Arts for over two years, and our experience has been wonderful. Our older two kids were the first to join, and then when our youngest child (3 at the time) joined, my wife and I did as well.I like Ripple Effect because they don't just teach tae kwon do, they teach lots of other life-lesson types of things, like how to handle bullies, leadership qualities, how to handle both victory and defeat, and lots of other things that aren't directly related to martial arts. One example is the leadership training. They have classes on leadership, but instead of just leaving it there, they train us in how to really lead other students in a class environment. When the kids are old enough, they will have an opportunity to be an instructor.Ripple effect has a lot of students, but I feel a sense of family with everyone involved. We've gotten to know the owners, staff, and other students and parents quite well over the time we've been there, and they genuinely care about everyone's success and well-being. I've always seen discipline handled appropriately and effectively.We have had a lot of fun learning tae kwon do, and it's kept all of us in shape. Even our youngest (now 5) is in great physical shape. I doubt I could get her (or me) to do as much activity if we weren't doing martial arts. On the other hand, while very challenging, I don't think it's been too much. We've had some bumps and bruises, but they do emphasize safety, and will work out modifications to handle whatever condition people are in.Obviously, we like it a lot, and plan on staying with Ripple Effect.

They are amazing instructors with the skills to handle both of my busy boys (3 and 5 years old). Confidence, respect, and self-control are the biggest highlights my boys have learned over the past year at Ripple Effect Martial Arts!

We have enjoyed being a part of Ripple Effect and our son has really enjoyed it! The instructions care about the kids and helping them to succeed. They have a grear character development program geared for the younger and older kids too.

Our family has been studying Tae Kwan Do with Ripple Effect for almost a year now. It's hard to say enough good to do them justice! As a parent I really appreciate that the curriculum includes frequent lessons on goal setting, peer pressure, self-awareness, household chore completion, academic rigor etc. Even better, the instructors and staff are fantastic role models that display these values in action. As a health care provider I also really appreciate the breadth of fitness required to advance in belt rank-aerobic training, strength, flexibility, balance, agility-all part of every class.I could go on and on about how great the instructors are or how solid their program is but you won't believe me till you experience it yourself. Give it a shot Trust me you'll be impressed!!!!

My 5 year old daughter started Ripple Effect over a year ago. At first I was apprehensive of such a young person starting Martial Arts. But it was apparent at the very first class that everyone involved was making sure that she would have a great experience. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Worth make the learning extremely fun while disciplined. They get the students to want to push themselves. The lessons learned go far and above martial arts. Leadership, confidence, self esteem, respect for others and anti-bullying are the cornerstones of the school. Most of the students are children age 4-14 and the instructors are fantastic with them. Engaging, friendly and fun while teaching the curriculum and relating skills to the real world. We will continue to go there. It's a great value.

My granddaughter became a student about 2 years ago at age 7. Now age 9 she has grown to love the personal and community connections with instructors and other students. Ripple Effect impact in her physical sense is one dramatic improvement. I couldn't do 100 push ups when I was 21! The larger result was in her demeanor, somewhat shy, not really coordinated or athletic, she responded with encouragement by fellow students and staff and ownership. I saw marked changes in her behavior, in memorizing and employing tenets of commitment, helpfulness, encouraged by achievements in belt type, confidence in sparring and tournaments and improved responsiveness to responsibility and behavior in her household, school and to her parents. A sea change, really, and a fabulous combination of learning intensity, cooperation and ambition all rolled into one. Kudos, Ripple Effect! Thank you.

There is not enough that I can say about Ripple Effect Martial Arts. Everyone there is amazing. You can really tell that every staff member there is invested in the students well being and success. Miss Sierra and the rest of the team there is always there to help my daughter when she can't tie her belt correctly. Our family really loves everyone there. They also help the students to focus not just on the martial arts they do but to focus in every area of their life. I feel like they take the time with my daughter and know how to help her. She has flourished there, even more than I thought she could. The instructors helped her to become more confident with everything she does and there are no words to express my gratitude. I tell everyone I meet about how amazing Ripple Effect Martial Arts is and reccomend them to everyone. Everyone there really makes you feel like you are apart of the Ripple Effect family. If anyone is looking for a great place to take their children or for themselves for martial arts I highly recommend Ripple Effect.

Three years ago we signed our 6-year-old up for karate classes hoping to find a fun extracurricular activity where she could get some exercise and meet new kids. Today our daughter is a strong, respectful, confident low brown belt who is working hard every day to get closer to her black belt. Her accountability, not only to us as parents, but also to her teammates and instructors, has drilled into her skills that transcend karate.The instructors have incredible martial arts expertise, professionalism and ability to engage students of all levels. We’re so glad to have found Ripple Effect Martial Arts!

If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would! The instructors at Ripple Effect are invested in every single student here. In addition to having black belts themselves, the instructors are genuine, humble & have high expectations of the students. Ripple Effect focuses on developing character traits (such as modesty, courtesy, integrity) just as much as teaching/developing students' martial arts skills. The environment is professional and welcoming to all. I highly recommend Ripple Effect Martial Arts!

We started our 6 year old in their martial arts classes, and since then my oldest son and I have joined too. Our whole family has had fun with their classes. We have seen our kids become more confident and respectful, and now they want to help out with chores at home so that they can complete their chores lists :o)My wife has taken the Zumba classes here and loves the instructor.
