With even challenging behavior from young ones, he knows what to say to get them on track quickly, it is amazing to watch him and his family (his children are following in his footsteps, and amazing also). This is a true family martial arts studio, and like a family diner, you get the product straight from the source, not from some corporate board or national group. It is the way martial arts should be taught! If you want your kiddos to get a good sense of discipline, commitment, and the rewards that come from hard work, or if mom and dad want a great workout with some of the areas most friendly martial artists, go now! My only complaint is that I did not get my kids in earlier, the Mathis' have been an inspiration to them! Our family is honored to train at Mathis Martial Arts!
