As the parent of a special needs child, it has been difficult to find activities for her to…read moreparticipate in. Sadly as she gets older, it becomes more apparent to other peers that she is different and is often treated as such. She strives so hard to be a part of a team and participate with peers but often can not achieve the same pace, especially in organized sports. When we joined CMAA, she immediately took to it. It is a team environment but she is free to move at her own pace. Everyone is at a different level of their journey so there is no ahead or behind. Everyone from instructors to staff to students have been more than welcoming and not one time has she ever been made to feel she is different. She takes great pride in her accomplishments and is so proud to achieve each next step. She has made major strides in all forms of life while studying at CMAA, everything from physical improvements of balance and control to mental improvements of discipline, control, and socialization. She takes pride in the many things she learns about respect and discipline and uses these in everyday life. I cannot say enough about how great this has been for her and her development. It is teaching her skills to not only defend herself but more importantly how to succeed in her life. It is a great environment for any kid of any age to start. You will see the difference it makes right away.

The cost is $200 a month and there is no lower cost option. My son came for karate once a week which means we were paying $50 for each 30 minute session. That's just too much. No value there. So we ended up walking away :(

I have interactions with all staff members regularly all of which are always very pleasant, helpful, and caring! They have gone above and beyond teaching my child Tae Kwon Do skills. When picking my child up they ask about school, grades, extra curricular activities, etc. In class Master Bun has worked to improve my child's confidence, holds high expectations for my child, and pushes my child to achieve those by giving constant positive encouragement as needed. Master Ron fixed a band instrument for us which was a life saver that night! Both Master Ron & Master Bun have been wonderful to our family and awesome to work with!

Training in Muay Thai at Black Belt USA has been an incredible, life-changing experience in only…read morethe month or so that I've been training there. Each class is a comprehensive workout in itself, consisting of yoga-like stretching, cardio, pad training, focus on technique, and circuit training at the end of most classes. Dr. and Master King have completely dedicated their lives to this studio and to being absolute experts in all that they teach. What most stands out about training here is the culture. From day one, there's nothing intimidating, macho, or uninviting about being here. Students old and new are genuinely excited to welcome you into the Black Belt USA family. I have trained martial arts in a number of other locations and styles, and I can say that Muay Thai at BBUSA is the absolute elite choice.

They even provide feedback when they get a chance during class changes. It's a community type of atmosphere if you allow yourself to engage and participate. My kids where not very motivated in the beginning but after awhile they really started digging it. Pricing might be an obstacle for lower income families. I made the financial sacrifice because my son needed something like this after being beat up in school. Coming here really boosted his self-esteem and confidence. Again, such awesome instructors and helpers. A great investment on your child/children for sure.

My son has continued and expanded his "whole body learning" both in direct TKD skills and cardiovascular health, but also character development. My daughter participated in private lessons and received timely support by way of the Granieri's encouraging message of self-worth, self-identity, and self-defense. When other activities (baseball!!) take us from our normal participation levels, there is never judgement, only welcoming arms when we settle back into routine. My children are 14 and 11. There are many students in that age cluster. The location is easily accessible off Route 51 near the Arboretum, and the class schedules allows for flexibility to your week. We are completely satisfied and look forward to continued growth with URMA!
