We have both our boys (ages 8&5) at EMA, and have had them both in classes for over two years... We have seen both boys develop confidence and a passion for karate. They are constantly practicing their skills, and we are so impressed with how far they have come.

I loved deshi kelsi and joshu Dylan and the rest of the team. my daughter is very easily distracted she is very shy and afraid of being around people. Now she very independent and her distraction is getting better she's more focused doing thing on her own. I have gone to many places to try out see what she likes and she pick this after 2 tryout. she feel comfortable with deshi and her staff. They're very patient with kids and encourages them to their best. I highly recommended this school.

We started our son at EMA so he would learn coordination, discipline, and confidence. In the year and a half that he has attended EMA he has improved in all of these more than we thought he would. The instructors are wonderful with the kids. They actually take the time to teach the kids the different skills. When one is showing them the skill, there are others walking around making sure they are in the correct position and form. One thing I love the most is the kids aren’t just a number. The instructors know all the kids’ names. We love it there!

More Confidence. More Focus. Get Fit.
