Dunham's Martial Arts Training Center

Our 8 year old son has been attending for about 8 months now and we all LOVE it! He is always excited and ready for class. It’s given him a big confidence boost and made a kid that likes to sit behind the computer a desire to be active and athletic. Mr Dunham and all of his staff work great with kids. I highly recommend for any age, young or old!

My daughter has only been taking karate here for a little less than a year, but it has already made an impact. Her confidence and determination have grown a great deal. I love that each month not only has new moves to learn, but scholar themes such as loyalty, charity, persistence, etc. It really makes martial arts a way of life, not just another extra-curricular activity. My only criticism is that I wish class size were a bit smaller, but with several instructors helping, it is only occasionally a problem.

Very positive atmosphere! My 4 1/2 year old daughter has become so much more confident in one month. Mr. Dunham has a very encouraging way about his teaching, he boosts students confidence. I love seeing her do something that she is proud of!

I have been going to Dunham’s Martial Arts for over 5 years now. Dunham’s Martial Arts is a great place to learn self defense, how to live a healthy life style and so much more. This is an amazing environment full of amazing people. I have gained a multitude of things throughout my 5 years at Dunham’s Martial Arts such as state management, social skills, leadership skills, self defense and so much more. I highly recommend Dunham’s Martial Arts to anyone no matter the age!

I consider us lucky to have found Dunham’s Martial Arts. My 14-year-old daughter has been taking lessons with him for four years. He teaches martial arts from a standpoint of defending oneself. Not aggravating a situation. I feel confident that my daughter can handle herself in ANY situation.What is unique about his practice, is that he incorporates martial arts into all aspects of one’s life-such as Health, nutrition, compassion, etc.

Dunham's Martial Arts has been instrumental in helping our seven year old develop self-confidence and strong leadership skills. I have watched our shy son transform since we enrolled him over a year ago in the Grasshopper's class- he is now in the Young Warriors class and is continuing to flourish. He has developed confidence and critical thinking skills as a result of the lessons and training he's learning at home and at the dojo. I believe that this has translated to his focus at school leading to him excelling academically and becoming more comfortable with interpersonal communication. Chris Dunham has a very special way with kids and he creates learning opportunities and leadership moments for all of the kids in the class. He makes himself available for each and every student and lets them know that they are each strong and valuable members of the class and society. The lessons that our son is learning are invaluable and ones that I know he will build on as he develops.

I cannot say enough about this wonderful program!My son started here when he was 5 years old. He has learned so many good things from this program! Not only is he learning how to keep himself safe and what dangers to look out for, but Mr. Dunham creates a curriculum that encourages kindness, thankfulness, health, etc. They are not only training them to be safe and smart kids, but that training continues throughout their training.This program and the wonderful people that have helped my son along his martial arts journey so far are something that I will never take for granted! Mr Dunham is amazing, and so are the others that help with classes! The patience, thoughtfulness, and degree of dedication that the instructors show to the students and their families is something that cannot be matched! They are the best of the best!

My husband and I really wanted to put our 5 year old in martial arts. Having a little bit of background in martial arts, my husband wanted a place that was really good. An acquaintance told us about Dunham Martial Arts. We went to check it out and were very impressed. We've now been there about 3 months. Just in this short time, I have seen a major difference in my son. He's more respectful at home and in public. He has way more confidence in himself. He's also developing leadership skills. It's way more than what I expected out of karate.Chris Dunham has a real talent in teaching. The kids respect him, and he shows respect to them. My son always leaves feeling good about himself.We're very pleased with this school, and will recommend it to everyone we can!Update:My son is now 7, and LOVES Dunham’s school! We’ve been so impressed with the things he’s learning. It goes so far beyond punches and kicks though. He’s part of a community family here. He’s gotten to know other kids from other classes, and looks up to their good examples. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers! I’m so grateful they’re part of our lives. My husband even joined, and my daughter will too when she’s old enough. I recently took their woman’s self defense class and was so impressed. It was very informative and really fun! I highly recommend trying it out! You won’t be sorry you did.

My daughter has been taking classes with Mr. Dunham for about four monthes. She really loves it. She can't wait to go to her classes. All the instructors are great. Mr. Dunham is awesome with the kids. He is great at teching leadership and life skills. If looking for a Martial Arts class would highly recommend for kids and adults.

Our daughter has really developed a wonderful level of focus, and has really applied the "always try your best" model both in sports and at home since starting martial arts training at Dunham's. She is more focused and confident in her school work, and has learned to focus on the positive. She is excelling in other areas as well, as her self-worth and awareness has grown. She is willing to weigh opportunities and take healthy risks to achieve/earn greater rewards. She is becoming more self-disciplined in many areas, and is an even more respectful child than she was already. This is quite possibly the best investment we've made into her education and life in general.
