Our son has earned his black belt at Mettle Family Martial Arts (formerly Coronado's) and is now a member of the Leadership Council. Along the way, he has trained in a program that blends athletic excellence with character development. Through black belt attributes, intentional goal-setting, and a strong growth mindset, he has built not only physical strength, but resilience, focus, and leadership. Now, as a teen, he lives those values. He shows up with discipline, encourages younger students, and leads with both confidence and humility. What makes Mettle special is its commitment to developing the whole person. Children and teens (and adults) are challenged to grow, supported through setbacks, and guided into becoming capable, grounded individuals. We're deeply grateful for the role this community has played in shaping who he is becoming.

We really love how great all of the instructors are with our son. Also, the class schedule is very…read more flexible with evening and weekend classes that are great for working parents!!! Highly recommend both the karate and their new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program!

Students are praised on how well they do outside of the class as well, and are encouraged to bring notes from their parents and school papers with good grades. Each month they focus on a different goal while they learn their moves. Adults can train here, too, but they train alongside the kids. They have programs where you can earn your black belt in 3 years. The only reason why I didn't keep my son here is that they are a bit out of my budget. Otherwise, they are an excellent karate school.

We were told up front exactly what the costs would be. No guessing. And the quality of the instruction is more personal, authentic and well rounded. Sensei LeAnn and Sensei Rebecca have done wonders with my timid little girl. Our son is blossoming in self confidence and self discipline. The integrity, professionalism, compassion, authenticity, and Christ-centered learning at AFR Christian Karate is why we chose this Dojo over all the others in the area. A low introductory rate, flashy marketing flyers and a fast lane to a black belt does not make those big box chain karate schools a better deal. Thank you AFR Christian Karate for doing it right, doing it honest and doing it better.

I had many questions, and Master Bill walked me through all of the steps, answers to my questions, and, of course, sage advice. We signed up for the trial, and it was great to learn the basics and get to know the structure and the people. During the trial, it was a great time for my daughter to get acclimated, focus on the routines, and the instructors were amazing! They took time and adjusted their teachings to the students and reinforced with practice it will come together. Each instructor was thoughtful, caring, and patient. Master Clarissa also helped guide me through signing up and talking through some of my daughter's unique needs. Amazing service! Our first beginners class today was wonderful. My daughter joined mid semester, and everyone has been so helpful, welcoming, and supportive! There are so many positives to PVMAA. From the application with easy access videos for practice to the scheduling, to purchasing gear, and overall, the owner and everyone there is so great at communicating and connecting. After my daughter earned her white belt on the way home, she said she was so proud of herself, and it really made her feel good about herself. Those are magic words to any parent. We shopped around, and this one for sure, hands down, was the winner. I would highly recommend it!

They have an amazing program that really involves the entire family in many ways. It involves not only practicing the physical elements of karate, but many other aspects of a disciplined, fair, and altruistic lifestyle. By far the best aspect of any activity like this is always the people. The instructors are all top notch practitioners, but most of all, they care about the students and their families. Unlike many other sports and activities, karate is all year long. Because of that, the kids have had the opportunity to meet milestones and celebrate life events and holidays with their classmates and instructors. Instructors who range in age from assistants who are kids themselves, to black belt students, to adults. Having role models around her from peers, to outstanding teens, to caring adults has been extremely inspirational and aspirational for her to seek out responsibility and success in her own life. This karate studio emphasizes effort and achievement, along with personal development. If you want a well-rounded student with goals in mind to achieve, bring them here! **Even at this time of covid-19, this studio has gone out of their way to incorporate technology with 1 on 1 classes, group classes, reading groups, and even testing, all online! Thanks MMA!
