My son studied at EMA for 3 years when he was a teen and just went off to college. I’m thankful for the lessons and the values that the EMA team instilled in him that make him the young man that he is today. Highly recommend for all ages!
EMA is wonderful! We signed up our son for martial arts camp in the summer for a week of trying something new and he quickly fell in love. We quickly signed up for classes and haven’t looked back. The instructors are amazing, patient and kind, but also hold the kids accountable. He has learned so much beyond karate and we’ve seen a huge improvement in his impulsivity, body control and discipline. He looks forward to going each week.
Wonderful instructors....nice place...they take the time with my Spanish speaking son.....he has a hard time understanding the English language but they still take the time with him while still keeping a busy class active....they always make you feel welcome and part of their family. I very much recommend this business...
