This place is pure gold. We had tried another martial arts place in Chesterfield and they would not let my kid be in a class with her age group only after a trial class because they said she could not sit still and pay attention. This surprised because isn't that what martial arts teaches?
Therefore, we switched to MAW. What a wonderful experience it has been. They meet your kid where they are. In fact, my daughter's attention span and focus are 100 times better BECAUSE of MAW. They are kind and accommodating. They have given my daughter the confidence to conquer anything and she is motivated to go all the way to black belt.
On the business side, they are very flexible and I appreciate this so very much as a client. They will work with your family. Yes, it's true, they have everyone sign a 6 month initial commitment, but as a fellow small business owner I understand this. What's more, this is key to gaining momentum in this sport.
We are so grateful for this experience and look forward to continuing to build this wonderful family at MAW.

Our daughter had a poor experience at Martial Arts World. The classes lacked structure and the faculty smelled like feet. To those who may be interested in joining, be sure to read the fine print in your contract. They require 90 days notice to cancel and refuse to negotiate.
On a more personal note when our daughter’s best friend canceled her membership for similar reasons, and left a 1 star review, the owners unashamedly attacked his 10 year old daughter’s character. They claimed she had been uncooperative and nonparticipating, despite her having been awarded the student of the month and asked to be on the demo team. The low moral stance of these actions are despicable.

THE best place to send your child to fpr before and after school care, as well as summer camp, in the Midlothian/North Chesterfield area. This place is a FAMILY. My daughter has attended for 5 years and has made some of the best friends of her life. And the discipline she's learned from Master Varner and team with her Tae-Kwon-Do has given her a level of confidence all girls her age should have. Nothing but 5 stars for the Varner family.

My son says he “loves it here because he learns martial arts values and discipline and able to go outside and have fun after class.”

Martial Arts World of Chesterfield is one of the most amazing programs that I have ever worked with.
The staff is knowledgeable, friendly , and caring. They take time to make sure you know you are of value to them and not just a number.
