I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience here and would encourage anyone thinking about going to give it a try. It's truly amazing how these kids transform before your eyes into strong, confident, humble, and caring little angels.

He is a great teacher and incorporates all types of workouts. The cardio workouts are unbelievable. The class focuses on the class art of the great taekwondo kicks. As a student here for the last 3 years I give this place the highest rating.

The workout is incredible and the knowledge is fantastic. The attention to detail is what separates this facility over so many others. I can't speak for the mixed martial arts and grappling as I only train in boxing. But in my opinion, this is the facility to train in for your Boxing, and MMA needs.

I can only rate their kids programs…read more BACKGROUND - People argue that their discipline is better than another like - Karate is better than Tae Kwon Do etc... If someone invested 2 or 3 years in a system I'm betting they won't think it was a bad choice. They will defend their choice to the end - bitter or not. However, most people don't stick with it long enough to really learn the skills and values they are trying to teach you. So how do you choose? The teacher and the schools personality. You need to find a personality that matches your objectives. We have all seen the Karate Kid movie where the school was very aggressive and taught winning was everything - a classic example of a bad school - IMHO. THE SCHOOL - Dave is the owner and is very personable. He is well rounded and makes sure the classes are hard & fun. The kids are challenged - sometimes pushed to their limits. This is a good thing - it teaches them that they are capable of more than they think. It also teaches them that if they can't succeed the 1st time to keep trying and they can make the grade. It's never about beating someone else but pushing yourself and learning your limits. Kids ages 8 to 12 are offered 2 classes - Thai Kick Boxing and Ju Jit Su. 2/3s of each class is spent on exercises and 1/3 learning new skills. They build a solid base in strength, endurance, speed and coordination etc. When they are ready they are moved to the next level for more work and more skills.

Sifu Dave and his team offer several martial arts and self defense training, including one-on-one, for all age groups. Their knowledge, as well as their experiences, provide students with the skills they need to build confidence and learn true self defense. I highly recommend stopping by and seeing for yourself why EMA has been a fixture in the community for almost 20 years! You won't be disappointed!

We highly recommend Dragon's Den as they go above and beyond when it comes to not just martial arts…read moreinstruction, but kid-friendly events and even amazing birthday parties. We initially took an intro class because our son has special needs. They have been extremely attentive with him and still hold everyone to appropriate standards for their experience level. They have helped him succeed in learning his forms, building strength, confidence, and focus. Amazing skills for young children to learn. Our younger daughter got involved and realized she too is strong and capable and the instructors have been great with her as well. I cannot recommend enough the Kids Night Out events - they entertain your kids for 3-4 hours while you get a break! Dragon's Den takes care of your children like they are their own. They are competitive but they are so family friendly - something other martial arts establishments lack.
