    My children have been working with Sensai Green and Master C, as well as the wonderful SWAT team now for over six mos. I have seen so much positivity instilled into these children through disciplining themselves to go several times a week, learning valuable life lessons, learning self defense skills and the correct and appropriate times for usage!!! The academy really cares about the wellbeing of the children who are enrolled. They teach them not only the skills but also constantly motivate them to help improve those skills. It truly has been wonderful to become part of this family and all the kids are gaining new friendships. The special events that Vicki plans along with the other staff are always super fun and inclusive!!! We would not go anywhere else because we love it here and I believe your family will too. Give it a try!

    They are very family friendly and help the children and adults gain confidence in what they can achieve. They also incorporate fun things to as well.
