“Can’t say enough good things about this place! They treat you like family, work with your kids to encourage them while pushing them along their own path, and instill so much into their hearts and minds. I enjoyed watching my daughter so much that I even joined myself!“
“As a parent, finding a place where your little ones not only learn but also feel included and valued can be a daunting task, especially when they are the youngest members in the group. Master Sikula’s Karate class is just that magical place! From the moment we stepped into the dojo, the warmth and professionalism of the staff were evident.Master Sikula, the instructor, stands out with his exceptional ability to engage kids of all ages and skill levels. My children are among the youngest in the gym, but Master Sikula has a special knack for making them feel right at home amidst older and more experienced students. His teaching style is inclusive and attentive, ensuring that every child feels seen and supported.The staff here are nothing short of wonderful. They are accommodating, kind, and genuinely passionate about their work with children. It's always a pleasant experience dealing with them, and they go out of their way to make sure the parents are as comfortable and informed as the kids are engaged and active.If you’re looking for a karate class that not only teaches martial arts but also instills confidence and a sense of community in children, look no further. Master Sikula’s Best Personal Karate is the place to be! We’re thrilled to be a part of this fantastic community.“
“Awesome group of people training at this gym! Was visiting from out of state and they were all really welcoming“
“Best Krav studio, with the best, nicest, coolest instructors. Can’t recommend more highly!“
“We discovered this place through a few neighbors. We signed my son and daughter up for classes over a year ago and they love it. Sensei Kathy has a great rapport with all of her kids. It is great exercise, good skills and even a little fun mixed in. Sensei even goes out of her way to have nice events for the children such as movie night, Halloween parties and other events. We also has my daughters birthday party here and all the kids had a blast. I would highly recommend!!!“
“Amazing teaching style. The sensei’s here are great teachers. This is just amazing.-PJ“
“I’ve been going here since for 12 years. Great family atmosphere, top notch coaches with tons of experience, great mix of competitive fighters and enthusiasts. No egos. Welcoming to all. But still pumps out UFC; fighters and Muay Thai champions. The opposite of a McDojo.“
“I’ve been attending classes for half a year now and this place is awesome. I’ve gotten so much stronger. Not to mention time in class takes me away from my problems and calms my anxiety. The instructors are attentive to your specific goals and will push you past what you think you are able to do. Everyone is also super nice!! Highly recommend:)“
“It doesn’t get better than this gym. If you looking for a great environment with real Muay Thai fundamentals and training then this your spot. The instructors are very helpful and treat you like family. Overall 10/10 gym??“
“An excellent place with passionate teachers.This is the first and only place my daughter looks forward to every session.“
“The best tae kwondo school around. Great for the kids and adults. Friendly atmosphere.“
“Ben is the sensei who can connect with young and old, fit or infirm. Meets the learner at their level and raises them up. He is a Professor of the Fighting Arts.“
“First, I really wanted to thank Master Gomes and everyone who is a part of the dojang. My son is just SO HAPPY, more confident and his hands and feet are getting stronger. I have tears in my eyes writing this because of his tremors he has been teased and bullied and also when covid started he has been harassed for being Vietnamese. I am proud to be mixed as well as both my boys but understand sometimes we get treated differently. Last Friday when he broke the board he was ecstatic! And I wanted to truly thank you all for building his confidence.“
“So happy we found One Step Beyond! My boys (6 and 9) tried soccer, baseball, flag football, but nothing “stuck” until we discovered karate back in March 2021. Fast forward to two classes a week (soon to be 4 ?), 2 belt tests and now a competition team/weapons (all dull, nothing sharp here), my boys couldn’t be happier. Sensei Marie and Sensei Erin are wonderful with the kids and it’s a wide range of all ages and backgrounds. I can honestly say that karate has also taught my boys discipline, fitness, patience and self esteem. I highly recommend One Step Beyond!“
“Vince is a fantastic instructor. My son has been training with him for a year now and we have seen the benefits of class in his behavior and confidence. Highly recommend!“
“Love the class! Randy is a very thorough and patient teacher. I would recommend learning tai chi with him. It has been a rewarding experience so far“
“Come join the best martial arts class in town. Helping to build confidence in our youth to help them become who they strive to be. The best instructors around and Kyoshi is one of a kind. I wish I could tell you more but I don’t want to spoil all the fun. Come down and check it out for yourself. Just a trial run will have you joining and that I stand firm on.“
“The team of Sinsei T, Sinsei P and Mr Fong are awesome, they will teach you how to love to train. It's changed my life. Make the excuse to train.“
“It's really fun here. I like the teacher's and the students. Everyone knows each other and we all get along well“
“I've had a handful of personal trainers, but none pushed me to & past my limits like Evan. He helped me achieve my goals above & beyond what I set. My cardiovascular health has improved significantly, I have more endurance & stamina, and my self confidence has greatly improved. I highly recommend his personal training sessions as well as self defense training!!“
“I credit my training at LCMA with strengthening me both physically and emotionally. Not only am I more fit, but dramatically more self-assured because of it. I've witnessed similar changes in some of the students I teach as a junior instructor, which in itself is an incredibly rewarding experience. The community of instructors at LCMA are dedicated to their martial arts, yet so do they bring such warmth and constructive leadership to working with the students. My passion for our style of karate itself adds genuine meaning, zest, even, to my life. In terms of both the community you will meet and the skills you will develop, LCMA is a fantastic school.“
“Beyond the physical exertion, which is great, it keeps the kids mentally sharp and well grounded in respect, self confidence and humility.“
