He will observe his environment before jumping in and Sifu does not pressure him but makes him feel comfortable to join. He is incredibly patient with him and gives him the confidence he needs. I absolutely love this class and so does my son! He is just now showing us his moves at home and is getting more confident practicing (it's been about 8 lessons). I'm so happy we found this studio and look forward to staying here as well as enrolling my other son in a few years!

My son will be turning 7, and thought it's time for him to explore a sport. After offering several…read moreoptions, he opted for martial arts. We signed up for several trial classes with different methods, but none he seemed too excited about. After his trial at JM Arts Academy, I instantly saw the spark in his eye and said to me, "this one mom! I like this one". Sifu's are fun, they connect with the children but still implementing respect and authority!

We've been coming here with my son for a little over 3 months now (from almost 5 to now newly…read moreturned 5) and have had an outstanding experience. Seifu Mario is wonderful with the children and achieves a beautiful balance between building genuine relationships with kiddos, while also commanding their respect, focus and discipline. Seifu manages a class full of 4-7 year olds with such ease, keeps the class running smoothly and quickly, and checks in individually with students to keep them progressing in their own KungFu practice. The studio is clean and organized and it's clear that Seifu is truly passionate about what he does as shown through his style, interactions with children and parents.

I was a bit worried because he's a beginner in an all-levels 13-17 year old class. Right now he's the only one with a white sash. But I didn't need to fret. There are usually 2-3 instructors in the class (one might be an assistant) so he gets plenty of help. They have individual instruction during the class to work on specific things the kid needs to master, plus group instruction. The group is very kind to my son and his self-confidence is growing. It's pretty cool to see.

Grand Master Conniry has been teaching here since 1968. I first started my training with my son back in 2001and unfortunately had to move for work in 2005. I tried other places and never enjoyed training the way I do here. I was fortunate enough to be able to return to studio this year ,18 years later and pleased to see the same principles taught under leadership of Grand Master Conniry. For me personally, returning had more to do with health reasons. I leave class with a great workout and a sense of accomplishment. There are many life long principles taught here and a safe place for the whole family. Pricing is also extremely affordable. You owe it to yourself if you are interested in martial arts to check it out.
