The instructor is amazing and truly cares about the kids and their success. Karate has taught him so much more than self-defense. It has given him discipline, confidence, respect, leadership skills, and a strong work ethic. We've seen such positive growth in him since he started. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get their child started in karate. The support, encouragement, and life lessons they provide are truly priceless.

It is so wonderful being able to work out with my wife and be reminded of important life skills. I can not recommend this place enough.

NAAMA Karate is now called Ultimate Martial Arts to reflect a wider range of classes and…read moreinstructors. I've been training at NAAMA for about a year now. The sheer amount of knowledge and experience amongst the instructors is practically overwhelming. I've worked mostly with the grappling instructors, but the instructors in the striking based arts are top notch as well. Their judo, sambo, and jujitsu instructors, though, are where they shine. Steve Lafrate, Brian Pazdzierz, and Harley Wallen have something like 80 years of gi and no gi grappling experience between them, and it shows. Students of NAAMA are starting to make waves in MMA, and sometimes champions like Tony Hervey (from Warren, MI) stop by to train. If you are considering some form of martial arts as part of your fitness routine, i recommend trying out Ultimate Martial Arts (aka NAAMA).

Romanelli's has made the biggest difference in my son's life! My son was diagnosed with Aspergers…read morebefore he was 3 and in the first few years of his life he was completely non-verbal. Eventually, with early intervention and lots of behavioural therapy he began thriving. But still, once he was mainstreamed in school and was academically caught up to his peers, we struggled to find something for him to partake in that he not only enjoyed but made him feel like he wasn't different and helped him engage with his peers socially. We tried team sports, boy scouts, and community events but nothing was working. Then we found Romanelli's. From the get go, you could tell this was different. The people here really care about their students, what your goals for them are and their needs. They not only teach physical form, but social skills and life skills. My son has been at Romanelli's less than a year, and already he has benefited more from his time with them than he did in 4 years of behavioural therapy. He engages with others now, he looks us in the eye when he talks, and he communicates his emotions with us. It has given him a moral code as well that he strives to stick to in everything he does. Best of all, he has made friends! He even started at a brand new school about 6 months after starting here and his teacher has said that if I hadn't told her he was on the spectrum, she would have never known. I know I owe so much of that to all of the amazing teachers here. On top of that, because of the relationship he formed with his teachers and peers, he has found something he is truly passionate about. He now loves karate and practices daily and it has taught him to set goals for himself that he truly works to achieve in every aspect of his life. This is no ordinary dojo... I have been through a little bit of karate at a couple other places with my older son as well as so many other sports and organizations with all 3 of my children. The relationship that Romanelli's builds with ALL of their students AND their families is a truly rare thing to find! If your child is interested in martial arts, or even if you are, you will not find a better place than this!

It's amazing the way Master Kaz is able to control an entire class, while teaching different groups at their level. Master Kaz is stern, but is stern with kindness, and as a result, my child has confidence and demonstrates self-control. Family Karate Academy is a serious training academy, with Tae Kwon Do instruction, and you can expect your child to learn quickly and grow in technique, confidence and discipline. Master Kaz trains the students to be healthy, focused, and respectful. His instruction includes warm-up. Master Kaz also teaches stranger-danger, bully prevention, and has family events. There is plenty of room at the academy, including changing rooms and observation space. Lots of parking as well, and located conveniently at the SW corner of 15 Mile & Mound, in Sterling Heights. Master Kaz is a Master, google him! This is a great place for your child to learn karate. Training is recommends 2/week, and payment is easy, whether you choose to pay monthly or longer. CC accepted. Master Kaz will treat you and your child like family!
