Excellent facility! My 4 year old really enjoys coming to his martial art classes. Denny, the instructor, is very good at making the class educational and fun at the same. The kids are learning through playing. My son is now much more independent and confident after a month of lessons. He has recently earned his white belt, and I can certainly observe the positive impact this class has had on his discipline. Price for the classes also very reasonable. Great location. Clean interior. Denny truly care about all the kids and theirs learning process. Would recommend for any family looking into martial arts for their kids! read more

My child has been part of the Mastery Martial Arts curriculum since the age of 6 and is now over 14. This past October, he proudly earned his 1st-degree black belt. He attends Mr. Stecker's class with great enthusiasm and dedication. The class structure and training patterns often change, which might seem challenging at first, but it has truly been a blessing. It teaches both the kids and us, as parents, to stay flexible and adapt--an essential skill in today's fast-paced, ever-changing world. Mr. Stecker doesn't just teach martial arts; he builds confidence, discipline, and strong character in his students. He helps shape them into kind, respectful, and well-rounded individuals. As a parent, I've learned so much just by observing his teaching approach and positive influence. read more

Hello, I wanted to share my perspective on Mastery. My son has been attending classes here, and the experience has been truly incredible. He has grown so much--his confidence has soared, and he's become more vocal, engaged, and passionate about martial arts. The classes are not only highly effective but also really fun! Mr. Strecker has an amazing ability to connect with children of all ages, creating a lively and inclusive environment where everyone feels encouraged to learn and grow. read more

The drills were high energy and my kid liked them good enough but the instructor was too regimented, almost militant, and didn't welcome parent feedback. I don't feel this is encouraging for kids. Schedule kept changing and I kept having to switch around other activities to accommodate so we didn't continue. read more

Mr.Strecker does move schedule around but only does it to try new times to benefit the majority of his students. When he sees the schedule isn't working for most he tries new times and ways to accommodate. My granddaughter has been involved with this program for 3.5 years and we can only say great things about it. When obstacles come, they get addressed and we keep moving forward. He teaches everything the website expresses and MORE! When my granddaughter was going through health issues, she came anyways and sat on the side lines. She did the leadership part of the class. My recommendation is let your child/teen put in two days a week for one year...your child will want to stay. It's such a rewarding program. My favorite part is when the classes are broke up into teen/adult. I do feel when teens work with teens, the atmosphere is different for them in a positive way especially when there are adults that participate. With that, I am not against the classes being by rank either. Mr. Strecker tries hard to include and help all his students. I highly recommend it! read more

My girls have been students at Prestige for years now, and it's helped them immensely to grow and learn. Shihan is a great teacher, and helps the kids to learn the techniques and discipline, while also making sure they have fun in class. He challenges them to get better, while also making sure they understand what to do and how for new and existing techniques. Classes are offered in person at the new location, as well as virtually. Shihan also makes himself available for discussions with parents and kids, to help get through any issues. read more

My son had been loving classes here but then the class times changed without warning or parental input, making it near impossible to make it to class on the days we had available, as we are a late start school and don't even get released until 4:07. When we originally signed up for class there were two different class times per day that we could attend but then it changed without warning. When I complained, I was told "at some point I just need to choose between activities". The way the school communicates information is also very disorganized and the platform to find the communication changed about 4 times in the 3 years we attended. You are required to belt test every 8 weeks and the belt testing requirements are not written down or made clear. When my son kept getting marked down for doing something wrong, he was frustrated because in the 7 weeks leading up to belt testing he was never told he was doing it wrong. When I complained about these things, and that we were thinking about stopping, we never even got a response. Nobody called or even emailed us. I guess that's because I had prepaid and they already had my money. This place doesn't care about its students, especially long term clients. I had pre-paid for 4 more months, which was not returned because we were locked into a contract, and I was so fed up with the service that I just let it go (not an easy decision considering I am a solo parent). Had a new karate studio has already corrected several techniques he had been performing incorrectly. This place is just all about the money, not the students! read more

My son attended his first class last week. I had to work but sent a text to my husband asking how it went and he said he "loved" it. Neither my child or my husband "love" anything unless it's food or me. So I just had to ask my son directly about it and he was enthusiastic about how much he loved the class, and his self esteem rose just after one class. He is now trying "be more fit" lol, he's as fit as an 8 year old boy can be already and has his dad's fortunate metabolism. I have even seen a slight attitude adjustment after just the one class. Time will tell but I have a great feeling! read more

No matter your age, no matter your ability; Denny and his team have the skills and patience to help you reach your goals. I have had the pleasure of attending Denny Strecker's Karate for over 8 years, and have seen countless kids (and kids at heart of all ages) get in great shape, improve their focus and attitude, and become outstanding citizens in and out of the dojo. Denny has a great curriculum in a great environment. Check it out yourself and you will agree!!! read more

Denny really cares about his students! He puts a lot of thought into his classes as well as a lot of heart.

My full review is on their FB page but this program is extraordinary and I would not even consider any other Karate programs for my son. In one month I have already seen tremendous growth in my 7yr old. read more
