“Master Nigro is an excellent instructor with a 40year history in martial arts. He emphasizes discipline, etiquette, and respect in his teachings. My oldest son started at 5 years old. Fast forward 15 years later and you will still find him there taking class along with his brother and I. The best decision we ever made as a family. Great for your body, mind, and spirit!”
“Kinder Karate is amazing! My son absolutely loves it. It not only gives him the opportunity to do something he’s enjoying, it’s teaching him more independence by partaking in the classes without mom and dad, teaches him how to listen and the benefits of good sportsmanship. We love it here!”
“A Hidden Gem in Martial Arts Education
This martial arts academy is truly a standout. The space is immaculately clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed with an open-concept layout that allows parents the flexibility to either stay and observe or drop off and pick up with ease.
What sets this academy apart is its clear structure. Each student receives a booklet that outlines the types of lessons to expect, which helps set goals and track progress. The belt system is merit-based—something we deeply appreciate as it instills a sense of hard work and accomplishment.
A highlight for us has to be Coach Josh and his incredible ability to engage every child, no matter the class size. He doesn't just teach punches and kicks—he introduces the kids to “E-guard” (Emotional Guard), helping them build not just physical strength but also emotional resilience. This balance of physical and emotional education is rare and incredibly valuable.
The dojo games are a major hit, and it’s easy to see why—learning and fun go hand in hand here. Coach Josh’s energy, consistency, and passion create an environment where kids are not only learning martial arts but also life skills.
As much as I’d love to keep this gem to myself, it’s simply too good not to share. The growth which I have observed in my child in terms of physical and emotional was what sparked me write this review so that other people (be it for a child or a grown up) may benefit from this Martial Arts Academy.
P.S* The diamond logo might be misleading but this place is truly a gem!”
