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!

After our 5-year-old attended Karate America Neptune Beach for 10 months, his instructor ABRUPTLY…read moreDISAPPEARED. We received no communication from the school or Karate America Headquarters (in fact...3 weeks later, we still have not received an official explanation regarding his departure). One day we showed up for training and the door was locked, the lights were off, and another parent drove up to tell us that class was cancelled that day. We never saw the instructor again after that. We tried 4 classes with new instructors (different each time) and our child left crying each time. We talked through the challenge but after 4 negative experiences and a total lack of consistency, we decide as a family that we were done with karate. I contacted Karate America Headquarters to notify them of our cancellation and they informed me that we were still bound by the 30 days notice in our contract. I asked them if they felt that was fair considering the fact that we were given ZERO notice that the head instructor was leaving. Her response was that the school was given less than 2 weeks notice and that there was nothing they could do about it. When I asked why, if they knew 2 weeks before he was leaving, that they didn't tell anyone....she said she assumed he had told his classes on his own. My guess is that they feared a mass cancellation of memberships so they kept it a secret for as long as possible until they could reach the next billing cycle. Her attempt at a compromise was to let my son continue to attend for a month and then cancel his membership...which I told her was the same thing as holding me to a 30 day cancellation. It's just so disappointing that after paying almost $2,000 for memberships and uniforms and equipment that we don't get a phone call, an email, or even a mass text about major changes in the school. And then, instead of doing the right thing and letting students opt out...they hide behind a contract to suck an extra $149 out of parents who bought into the system that would ultimately fail them.

We pay $150 PLUS a ton of money for our son to be able to participate in "graduation" which was never explained and we expect him to be taught and treated equally since we do the unlimited and "open belt" classes. The red head teacher treated my son and another little girl like they didn't exist today. I couldn't believe my eyes! Don't offer open beer classes if you refuse to take the time to teach the little ones. The way he handled the situation was beyond anything I have ever seen or dealt with. Today was the last straw. You should be ashamed of yourselves! Practice what you preach or close down.

Then come check this place out! You can try out 3 classes for only $25 (includes a free uniform)! All classes start with showing respect to parents and guardians that brought the kids to class, to the American flag, and our country, and the instructors who are leading the class. The kids learn several different styles of martial arts, including using and getting out of chokeholds, kicking and punching combos, jiu jitsu, and wrestling. Even in your kids first few classes they'll what is like fight and wrestle someone. There's no babying your kids here. They're taught to embrace and learn from adversity.

We love this place and absolutely love Mr. Eckholm, the instructor. I recommend this place to everyone and anyone. (They also have adult classes)

My daughter just became a black belt and has blossomed to be a driven and confident kid. Between the Ninja nights and tournaments she has built deep friendships and even started their leadership program. My son joined in March and its helping him immensely with his speech and confidence. My husband even started this month! The instructors are the right balance of informative, patient and supportive. They provide lots of helpful and fun stories to give overall insight into self control, discipline and honor. Something I have greatly appreciated. Pricing and scheduling is extremely simple and easy to setup within the app. They post upcoming events and provide instructive videos all in the app so you have it for practice at home too. The membership allows you to pick and choose which classes fit your schedule so if you miss a Monday you can join the Tuesday class instead and get the full flexibility you need. Easily the best decision for my family.

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.

My daughter had a medical issue, and we provided all the necessary documentation that she wouldn't be able to continue. They told us verbally that the two-month notice requirement would be waived due to her health condition. However, they still charged us for two extra months and refused to refund the money, even though they had promised otherwise. In short, they care more about squeezing out every penny than being fair to their customers. I'm leaving this review to warn others: no matter what they promise you verbally, they may still take your money and ignore their own word. Be cautious before signing up here.
