The instructors are patient, disciplined, and incredibly motivating with the kids. In a short time, we’ve already seen growth in his confidence, focus, and respect — and he just passed his first belt test, which was a huge proud moment for our family.

The environment is welcoming, structured, and positive, while still teaching strong fundamentals and values. Highly recommend Hwang’s to any parents looking for a place that builds both skill and character in their children!“

“I always had an interest in learning BJJ and finally made the leap to start. I am very happy I did and that I found Plus One. I've been coming here for over two years now and it has changed my life. I am more active, lost weight, made friends and am learning a new skill. Profesor and Profesora amazing teachers. They're professional and patient. The same came be said about the coaches as well. If you are looking to start BJJ, Muay Thai, Krav or another martial art, I highly recommend coming to Plus One!“

“Enrolling my daughters at Villari’s Martial Arts has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as a parent. From the very first class, the instructors impressed me with their ability to balance discipline, respect, and fun. My daughter, Sarah, was a bit shy at first, but the welcoming and supportive environment helped her come out of her shell in no time.

What really stands out is the way the program emphasizes not just physical skills but also character development. The kids are taught valuable life lessons such as perseverance, confidence, and respect for others. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in Sarah's focus and self-discipline, both at home and at school.

The staff is also highly approachable, offering personalized attention to each child. They ensure that all students, regardless of their skill level, feel included and encouraged to do their best.

Overall, I highly recommend Villari's Martial Arts to any parent looking for an enriching, positive activity for their children. It’s more than just learning kicks and punches; it’s about building character and instilling life-long values.“

“I’m really glad I discovered PMA.
Greg is a fantastic coach, and everyone there is incredibly supportive and welcoming.“

“My family has been a member of this dojo since 2020 when my son started as a four-year-old. Bringing him here to learn karate has easily been one of the smartest decisions I have ever made as a parent. He's learned the value of hard work, of being disciplined, of dedicating himself to his goals. He's become more athletic, more confident, and tougher. Sensei Darryl, Sensei Sam, Sensei AJ, and all the rest of the teachers are kind, patient, and expert instructors. Without doubt, we've had the absolute best experience here!“

“Enrolling our son in karate classes was one of the best decisions we've made as parents. The methodology Villari's Martial Arts uses with children focuses on teaching them self-control, respect, and self-discipline. These three values are very important in our son's development, and the results are definitely visible every day.
Thank you, Mr. Sánchez, Ms. Nieves, and Mr. Reyes.“

“Rocky hill tennis employee Brett treated me so well. He was so welcoming and did the cleanest dap up known to mankind when he greeted me at the door. He even bought me lunch and offered to clean my pool. He also babysat my son and let me borrow his Ferrari for my date. He gave me 100% off discount and said that anytime I came to play tennis It would be free. Brett showed excellent customer service and I will be back again.“

“Master Oh is the best! You can see and feel that he really cares for his students, especially young kids. Yes, he is tough but he is also caring at the same time. I've known Master Oh for the past 7 years or so and he is the same as the first day I met him. Look no further, if you live in the area, this is the best martial art school.“

“Phenominal place with good instructors teaching original Okinawan karate. Give a class a try and you'll realize why the system is so respected and applicable.“

“My teenage daughter and a group of her friends (tweens and teens) attended a two hour self defense class yesterday that taught amazing self awareness and defense skills. Tony, the instructor created a private class for us accommodating our busy schedule. It was creative and active and really drove the message home to the kids without terrifying them. It was such a great way to get the kids to realize they need to get their faces unglued from phones and have an awareness of their surroundings. I found Extreme Karate through a google search. We totally lucked out! Highly recommend this business for self defense classes.“

“RiSu is an incredible martial arts academy. My four year old has been attending class for 4 months now and loves it. The staff and instructors are extremely patient and truly want to see their students succeed. I would recommend them to anyone!“

“I had the pleasure of meeting and training with Professor Tuzinho at a Capoeira event in Ohio. Although it was only a brief session on floreios (acrobatic movements), you can tell his instruction and attention to detail comes from years and years of experience under the tutelage of Grupo Capoeira Brasil's Mestre Boneco. You can tell how passionate he is about teaching beginner and veteran capoeiristas by how much energy he brings to the gym. I feel like I benefitted greatly even from such a brief encounter. I am looking forward to the future when I will be visiting and taking a class with Professor Tuzinho!“
