Through the years he has learned responsibility, leadership & physical skills that has helped him in every other area of his life. He excels at every sport he tries, and I firmly believe the sills taught at EMA are directly responsible for this. He is an excellent student & has chosen nice friends, many from EMA actually. Andrew is now 15 & just earned his 2nd degree. He has spent time on other extracurricular activities but always comes back to EMA. I am very pleased with the school and highly recommend to anyone. Girls & boys both excel there.

He has also learned the meaning of discipline, honesty, and respect. He conducts his way of life with these teachings in mind. He has achieved the honor roll every year he has been in school. He has also received many awards including the Presidential Award. I truly believe that the entire staff at Elite Martial Arts has a great deal to do with his accomplishments. Enrolling our son in Elite Martial Arts is one of the best things my wife and I have done for our son Thomas.

The facility is top notch with a floating wood floor and all of the equipment anyone could need for training. Sensei Mark is awesome and really knows his stuff! He's been studying for over 30 years and it shows. He's also a fantastic teacher for students of all ages from small children all the way up to senior citizens. Everyone is welcome to come and train.

I grew up doing Karate in the UK back in the '90s, before martial arts schools started pushing…read moreendless belt tests and charging families left and right. So when I came across Dante Rivera's BJJ Academy, it felt like a breath of fresh air. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just structure, discipline, and real mentorship. I had heard there were two main options locally--Silva's and Dante's. Silva's is known to be more "fun," but I wanted something with purpose. Our past experience with Master Park's Taekwondo was friendly, but confusing. Kids who could barely stay balanced were advancing through the ranks. At Dante's, that doesn't fly. I filled out the website contact form and got a quick response from Norma. When we showed up the next day, I expected the usual sit-down about pricing or discounts for paying cash (code for off the books), but that never came. Instead, Dante walked in, shook hands with every parent, and jumped right into class. What I saw was exactly what I hoped for: a balance of challenge, fun, and respect. My daughters (7 and 8) were pushed to think, focus, and move. I watched a girl struggle emotionally--Dante didn't coddle or ignore it. He guided her through, and she finished strong. That kind of moment tells you everything you need to know. There's discipline here, but it's not cold. It's real. Kids are expected to give their best. Parents were laughing as Dante cracked jokes--like threatening to lock kids in a closet or eat their feet. It's the kind of tough love that works, and the kids eat it up. After class, I asked the girls if they'd like to come back twice a week. Immediate yes. When I asked Norma what's next, she simply said: "Go home, talk about it as a family." No pitch, no hard sell. They didn't need to--the program speaks for itself. While we were there, I saw a dad bring his son over to speak with Dante about a tough class he had. Dante bent down, listened, and told the boy, "You can always come talk to me." That kind of care? You can't fake it. If you're looking for a place where your child will be challenged, supported, and treated like a real student--not just a customer--Dante's is it. We're proud to be part of this academy.

Also the classes are not really categorical: the beginner class has a lot of advanced people. It might be intimidating if you are brand new. I do like how it gives you a feeling of power. Just a PSA though: some of the instructors and students are not vaccinated against COVID and talk about it openly. If you are COVID adverse wear a mask. I am adverse to it and found out later on.
