“My son who is now eight has been coming to this dojo for one year. Before choosing, we’ve tried out a class, in almost every existing studio in the Kuykendahl/Louetta Spring area. We need it down to two, but ultimately Ultimate Warrior because I came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and I agreed with the methodology of its owner Jake and his staff. They are firm and nurturing, disciplined, yet still fun. Other successful places in the area wasn’t a great fit as they felt more industrial and performed for appearances than what I had in mind.I ultimately chose ultimate warrior for my son, because he has fun while learning to protect himself at a very natural pace. Further, because my son is clumsy… They also work on “how to” fall effectively. After just one of these classes, my son was riding horse riding and was bucked off the rear from about 6 foot off the ground. As he fell, he automatically went into a forward fall position and saved his face and glasses from hitting the ground. Needless to say, after seeing this, I am sold that the methods taught here are effective and strategies used for learning these skills are something that kids can relate to easily.An added bonus is that Jake must have a radar that draws in good people. All the parents I’ve met here have been really kind and so are the students and coaches.“

“My son has been going here for over a year. He loves it. It has done wonders for his discipline and self confidence. I love the since of accomplishment he gets as he improves and every time he earns a new belt.“

“This is a place of life change. If you want to equip yourself or your kids with the necessary skills and experience to be successful in life, this is the place to go. The instruction is world-class, the instructors are personable and friendly, and the environment is that of a welcoming family. You'll see what I'm talking about from the very first class you try!“

“My grandson is 9 years old and has been attending HERO Martial Arts (2920) for several months. He is Autistic, and he's been learning patience, respect, and his self esteem is getting greater all the time. The Masters at HERO are wonderful with with the students. Not only teaching Martial Arts but valuable life skills. This is the best activity his mom could have chosen for him.“
