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.

My whole family started training at Tersak's within the last year, starting with my 3 (now 4) year…read moreold son, then my 5 (now 6) year old daughter. Yesterday, a close family friend commented that he has noticed a significant growth in confidence, composure and maturity in my 2 kids since he first met them last summer. We train at least 2 days a week. During each class for every age group, there is a character lesson of the week. Lessons like, how to make a SMART goal, how to be gracious receiving Christmas gifts you already have or don't want, trick or treating safety, what to do if someone bullies you, etc. I love that all of these life skills are immediately applicable. I love that training at Tersak's is more than karate and self defense, it is also leadership and character building. A few months after both kids started training, I joined in. My husband followed 2 months later. Now we do the Open Family class together every Saturday morning (along with tons of other families). I also train in Adult class 1-3 times per week. I am building adult friendships for Me. I am honing my body for Me. My kids can see me as an example of consistency, dedication and doing hard things. And, we spend family time together doing something active and without screens. Two of my favorite "extracurricular" karate events at Tersak's were Family Board Breaking Night and the Spring Tournament. I also really enjoy the festive events like Trunk or Treat and Easter Egg Hunt! The people here are good people. I am so thankful the Abitria family told me to check out this dojo. Here are friends I will be keeping long term!

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.

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!
