Highlights to this academy is respect! Master Patterson is dedicated to teaching his skills, ability, and knowledge of mixed martial arts. I love watching all 3 of my children soak up the skills he teaches in his classes! He is patient and stern. He really touches base on focus and control. I highly recommend his academy!
Our daughter is in first grade and we went to a few classes to try it for free. Hoping it helps her focus more in school, listen better and be more respectful in school and at home, while having fun and getting stronger. She gets PT in school for weak muscles and balance and coordination issues. We think this is going to help with that. She has been enrolled in Soccer for a couple of years, but she REALLY loves going to class here and always asks if it's martial arts day after school. The instructors are very encouraging and patient as well!
My daughter has been going here for about 2 1/2 years and absolutely loves it! Master Patterson is the best instructor. Great programs offered for all ages!
