We wanted a great exercise routine for our family to do together (Mom, dad, Teenage boy). Pilates-nope, Yoga-no way, spin class-definitely not, cross-fit training-Maybe. After some thought, how about martial arts? Well, we will without a doubt get into shape. We will learn self defense. Ok let's do it. Oh Oh, where do we do it? Researched the local area and decided to give Sparks Martial Arts a try. They offer a wide array of styles, the schedule is sure to fit into everyones life. We went for the free trial class to check them out and it didn't take but 1 minute from speaking with Sensei Sparks to make our decision. No kidding. Sensei is passionate about martial arts and has created a fun, yet structured learning environment to suit any age. The same energy from Sensei Sparks can be seen in all of the instructor's and staff. As well as fellow students. Ask my son to go somewhere and the response is what would you typically expect from his age group but he will be waiting in the car for you to go to train with Sparks Martial Arts. If your considering training in martial arts, then don't wait anymore, come give Sparks Martial Arts a try. read more

A little over 2 years ago I met the Sparks Martial Arts family at a festival in Stalling park. I am so glad I stopped by their booth. My original intent was to get my son into an activity that would help him focus as well as learn a new skill. In the process his confidence, and in turn, his social skills have also sky rocketed. Most importantly, he has fun doing it. As I began to see the changes in him, I though, "I can do that" and tried it out for my self. With the physical activity and the encouragement of eating healthy I have lost 35 pounds! I like that it is not an intimidating environment and unlike the typical gym which would only hold my attention for 3 months, there is always something new to learn. read more

I love this place.... My oldest son started there a few years ago and Sensei along with his staff really helped him to focus & mature. From there, my wife joined and now our twins (boy&girl) are students there too.... Everyone in my family loves this place and Sensei is a great teacher.... You can tell that he is passionate about his role, his dojo and his staff. We were originally recommended to this dojo by an neighbor whose twin daughters go there and she raved about how family friendly this place was....and it is. If you go here, you'll see a lot of family participation and that's just one of the wonderful things about Sensei and his dojo staff.....It's a great place to be!!!! read more

This is a family friendly very supportive environment for students of all ages. Our whole family attends classes regularly. My kids attend kids karate, my wife attends adult kickboxing and I attend Brazilian Jujitsu classes. I have seen both of our kids grow in confidence and leadership. I have seen my wife (who has never done anything like this) latch on with a passion and tenacity that has enabled her to be more confident and out going. If you are looking for a positive learning environment and a great workout come in and talk to any of the great instructors. You will be glad you did! read more

Best Martial Arts Academy around!!! When searching for a place for my son to take martial arts classes, all we came across were places that intimidated and scared him. From the moment we stepped into Sparks Martial Arts, we knew we had found our place. Fast forward 7 years and two kids earning their Black Belts, the whole family is now involved and the academy has become an extended family. Kris Sparks and his staff create a unique environment to the martial arts world that is truly a family friendly, cost effective, fun way to exercise and learn an awesome skill. read more

I started here almost two years ago, and my daughter and I have come a long way. For her, she has gained an incredible amount of self confidence, and the determination to set long term goals and achieve them. For me, I'm down 30 pounds, I love the workouts, and I am learning new things all the time! This is a great place to workout, pick up some new skills, relearn old ones, and have a great time - the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the people on the mat support each other, and its growing all the time! I highly recommend trying this place out! read more

We came to Sparks to provide our kids with activity and self-defense knowledge and ability. We have been provided with a new community and an extension of our family. From a martial arts perspective the academy drives to excellence with immense practicality. We participate in kickboxing and BJJ. There are a large number of black belts that train and assist with each class providing mentoring and teaching each student. We now have almost every member of our family training at the academy and at least one of us is there 5 days a week. read more

Sparks Martial Arts is fantastic! The staff is wonderful with the kids. They teach values and morals-something kids really need today! Sensei Sparks is amazing. He's worked very hard and has learned from the best in the country. His sense of humor keeps the kids laughing and makes learning fun. The dojo is clean and nicely decorated and parking is great. His prices are very affordable and he doesn't charge belt fees like most martial arts schools in the area! I highly recommend Sparks! read more
