Our 5 year old has really enjoyed attending crabapple martial arts academy. He has learned self discipline, self control, respect, listening skills, and hand-eye coordination. Since attending CMAA, we can tell that he is more respectful at home and listens the first time we ask. Luke’s favorite instructors are Mr. Hunter and Sensei Robert.

Our family has been training at Crabapple Martial Arts Academy for over a year, and if I had to sum up our experience in one word, it would be fantastic. Renshi Matt, Sensei Robert, and all of their assistant instructors (Mr. Jayden, Mr. Zack, Ms. Ashvika, Mr. Lucas, Ms. Claire) provide individualized attention to each student, ensuring that everyone progresses at their own pace. The focus here goes beyond just martial arts techniques; there is a strong emphasis on character development, which I have seen firsthand in the positive changes in my child. The academy truly embodies the spirit of martial arts, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a well-rounded and authentic martial arts experience.

Great thing to do. Martial arts and karate in particular is not about sports, it is all about kindness and respect. Motivates kids and adults, builds characters and teaches that long-term targets are a must. We are about 1.5 years with this school and will continue thanx to professional senseis and awesome students.

Our family loves this dojo! Great instruction, super positive experiences from the youngest to the oldest, and a great community of students and instructors.

My 14-year-old daughter has been taking classes at Crabapple Martial Arts Academy for about 4 months and she absolutely LOVES it. She comes home from class excited to show us locks and all the other things she has learned. I personally have taken a Women's Self Defense class there from Sensei Matt - he's an awesome instructor! Highly recommend this place!

I’ve known Renshi Matt for over 10 years. His instruction has had a huge impact on me and my children, improving our lives in countless ways. Crabapple Martial Arts is the real deal, a true black belt academy that transforms your life. It’s really isn’t just an activity. 10/10

My son Derek has attended Crabapple Martial Arts Academy for over 3 years now. During this time, his self confidence has improved, and he’s developed meaningful friendships at a place he feels welcomed. I particularly love the emphasis placed on respect and knowledge - part of his weekly “homework” involves helping the family around the house and reading. We feel the time he’s spent at CMAA has also helped him focus and succeed in the classroom, and has 100% been worth the commitment. His instructors also genuinely care about the students (we love Sensei Robert and Renshi Matt). He looks forward to class and one day earning his black belt!

I'm so impressed with Crabapple Martial Arts Academy! My niece and nephew have been taking karate classes there for almost a year and the positive changes in them are truly remarkable. They have improved their focus, discipline, self-confidence, and respect - all as a result of their martial arts training. I have even got to fly cross-country to watch their promotion ceremonies and couldn't be a more proud aunt!!

Crabapple Martial Arts has been an awesome experience for my daughter. She has become more confident and focused. She loves going to class and has a great time every time. The teachers make it fun but keep them focused as well on actually learning the skills correctly. It's a wonderful program.

We have been attending Crabapple Martial Arts for over 2 years now and have the ability to train with our kids. We have enjoyed the benefits of our training from self-discipline and self-discovery to fitness and self-defense all of which translates into a changed way of life. The owner and staff are passionate, patient, caring and skilled. We are blessed to be part of the Crabapple Martial Arts Family.

This school is worth it. My two boys have benefited in different ways since we started last year. One has gained confidence, leadership skills, and a desire to learn Japanese, while the other has improved his focus and body control. I love that the instructors teach real life lessons about respect, manners, and leadership, especially in world that seems to has lost touch with some of those concepts.

Both if my girls attend Crabapple Martial Arts and both love it! They are very professional and do a great job teaching discipline and confidence in a fun and engaging manner. I highly recommend.
