I'm not a karate person, not even close. I'm a photographer/graphic designer/peaceful kind of dude for the most part. I never thought twice about doing any martial arts. My kids, on the other hand, want to be ninjas and warriors. After touring several dojos for the kids, we selected EMA because of their nice facility, their well-attended classes and amazing pricing structure. On paper, this dojo seemed like the perfect match for my kids. As my kids started moving up in their beginner class, I started to notice several other things that really got my interest. I notice other parents in classes with their kids, starting at the same level and working on the same things. I saw young black belts leading classes and taking an active role in the leadership at the dojo. I saw the commitment to make the dojo better from the mats up. I also liked that it doesn't cost a penny more each month for me to join my kids. They don't charge for belt tests. They do almost everything in-house. Watching how my kids have really attached themselves to it, I could no longer sit on the comfy black couches, I had to get on the mat! Now, I'm learning the way of martial arts and I have to say its been the best thing we've done as a family since I quit coaching t-ball. Master Young leads youth and adults alike to enrich their lifestyles in a positive and fun environment. This is not your average martial arts studio...this is THE only dojo you need to know. Thanks EMA! read more

We have been going here for years, and my kid has gained so much confidence. It doesn't matter your age, they work with all age levels at all times. The further down the belt path you are, the more you see a change in your child and yourself. It is a commitment. It isn't something that will be done in a year. They have their reasons for doing what they do, and how they do it, because it works. They have one of the toughest curriculum's in the state. Because of this school, I have no doubts that my daughter can protect herself when necessary, will be courteous to others, and have respect for everyone. I have no fear of being able to defend myself either. Thank you EMA. read more

My son has been going to EMA Littleton for the past 6 years. He started as a white belt and is about to test for his second degree in June. He absolutely loves it. This martial arts school teaches your child discipline, self control, respect, and perseverance. The head instructor at the Littleton location, Miss Young is wonderful with the students. My son thinks she's really funny and kind. She likes to make jokes, and keeps the kids interested. I love the diversity in students' and how it teaches him to build community with so many different types of people. I cannot recommend Exclusive Martial Arts enough. What a gift this has been for our family! read more

Our son is in the Little Dragons class at Exclusive Martial Arts and loves it! They are so patient, caring, and are so understanding if kids cry, run off the mat, and want to give up. They not only teach the kids fitness, discipline, and beginner martial arts skills, but they also teach them really important life skills such as knowing their address, phone numbers and parents first and last name. All the black belts create a supportive, fun and caring environment for these little kids and we love sending our kids there. The hours are so flexible and fit almost any schedule. We love EMA and Master Matt Young! read more

For three solid years, we've been soaking up the awesomeness at EMA, and let me tell you, it's been a ride! The crew here? Super knowledgeable and friendly, turning every class into a learning fiesta. They've got this fantastic blend of serious skills and laid-back fun, keeping things interesting session after session. All while holding everyone to high standards. Clear signs of their high standards. But what truly sets EMA apart is the bonus life skills you pick up along the way - confidence and discipline for the win! If you're on the hunt for a 5-star martial arts gig, look no further. read more

From preschoolers to adults he commands respect, all the while making every aspect of the Martial Arts journey incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable.

Our family has had such a positive experience with Exclusive Martial Arts. Our children started about a year ago through their after-school program, and we've been so impressed ever since. The instructors are incredibly patient, kind, and know how to bring out the best in their students. We've seen noticeable improvements in focus, confidence, and discipline, and most importantly-- they love being there. We highly recommend Exclusive Martial Arts to other families! read more

This place is really awesome. Our kids are almost at black belt and over the years we have seen their attitude, discipline, respect, and physical fitness change dramatically. Sure it starts out all fun and goofy but they step it up as the kids progress. The final stretch is no joke.. It is a true challenge both mentally and physically. Time and money well spent. We are so grateful that our kids stuck with it over the years. Highly recommend! read more

Putting our son in EMA has been one of the best decisions we have made. It keeps him focused, active, and he is rewarded for good behavior and good grades in school. More importantly, it has given him more self confidence in himself as well as self discipline. The staff there is amazing and he is surrounded by people who will be great mentors for him as he continues his journey with EMA. Our little one can't wait to join! Highly recommend! read more

I can't recommend this place enough. My daughter started here, then I signed up, and then my son did too. We have been attending for about 4 years now. The school is really accommodating and inclusive. I am old and out of shape, and they make sure that there are always modifications if I physically can't do something. They are also wonderful with my autistic kiddo. The staff is wonderful, and feel like extended family. We love it here. read more

This review is for the fitness division. I have been going to kickboxing at EMA for almost two years and I love it. Everyone there is friendly and we have lots of fun and get a good workout. The instructors are also knowledgeable and will always give alternatives to accommodate for injuries which has been helpful for me. They also offer some time slots for yoga which is really good for stretching after all the punching. read more
