My ninja-obsessed 7 year old son had been begging us to sign him up for karate lessons, so we…read morecalled this local studio to set up an intro lesson. Neither my husband nor I ever took karate, so we were not sure what to expect. Sensei Ken Piper quickly accommodated us and spent an hour with us describing the program and costs, and then provided a demo lesson to show our son what would be expected during a class. Our son loved it so much we signed him (and his older brother) up. Both have been attending for nearly a year now and are now orange belts. We appreciate that not only are they learning various forms of karate (basics, sparring, kata), but they are also learning self-discipline and respect. They have taken the lessons from the dojo to their classroom and home. Pricing is very affordable, especially for parents considering joining along with their children. Packages are available from 1 lesson a week to unlimited classes. Special add-on lessons (weapons and seminars) are also available. The schedule is very convenient with evening and Saturday classes. Beginners can move through their first few belts within their first year which is encouraging. The Senseis are very patient with all ages and abilities, and a typical class usually has a diverse group of 10-15 students ages 7 years old to 50. Safety and hygiene are also emphasized, especially mid-pandemic. The facility is good and there is plenty of space for classes and overflow seating for spectators. The studio recently remodeled their waiting area. The studio's goal is for every student to reach Black Belt within a few years, so we hope to stay that long!

My 4 year old daughter discovered the Power Rangers on Netflix and got really interested in Martial…read moreArts. My wife and I decided to let her do some trial classes nearby at Mr. Piper's Family Karate Academy. All of the instructors we met were very kind and respectful. It was instantly visible that all of the kids looked up to and respected the staff at this school! The classes were fun and my daughter always enjoyed attending. She never fussed about going to class. Not even once! Which speaks volumes for a 4 year old! They do a great job teaching respect, discipline, manners, being humble... etc. (the whole karate thing!) I started my own martial arts journey nearly 14 years ago at another karate school in my hometown of Mooresville, IN. Not to the fault of Mr. Piper or any of his instructors, I ultimately made the personal decision to resume classes (now with my daughter) at my hometown dojo. I would like to thank Mr. Piper for re-igniting the passion I once had for martial arts by enthralling my daughter into the karate lifestyle! I would definitely recommend Mr. Piper's Family Karate Academy to anyone who is interested in becoming a martial artist!

My daughter started at this martial arts school 10 years ago when she was 17 years old. She was…read morethere a few years before she dropped out and took several years off. She decided to start back a few years ago and began working very hard toward earning her black belt that she so desperately wanted. Today 9-23-23, she finally earned her black belt that she has dreamed of attaining for 10 years. This is beyond an EXCELLENT martial arts school and the best part about it is the Shehan Mark who is the kindest, most disciplined, dedicated, high moral, strong integrity and gives so much love and respect to all his students. He teaches these same values to all his students. You will see your child grow exponentially in CHARACTER, not just skill, while they are learning martial arts. You will not be disappointed if you give this school a try. If you or your child stay dedicated and disciplined...you too can make your dreams come true. The style of Kempo Martial Arts not only trains your child (or you) in self defense (and more), but it will help your child build confidence, become more disciplined, respectful and kind to others, strong in body/mind/spirit and give you goals to work on and toward. I highly recommend this awesome school. My daughter has made so many amazing memories here and even met her now husband there. This is one truly special place .

We have been blessed to be part of this "family" that extends beyond the owners and instructors. We've become friends with the other parents in my kids' classes. The people that send their children here are amazing as well. They actually care about you and your family. When they ask "How are you?" they want more than just the standard "Fine, and you?". My husband and I are also students at IMA. They have evening programs available for adults who want to learn and are understanding that things come up in life, sometimes making it difficult to regularly attend classes. They strive to reach and benefit the whole family.The Paul family has done an amazing job creating an environment that promotes the ideals of karate not only in classes, but in their dojo, and outside in the community. The after-school program is also amazing. Indiana Martial Arts provides transportation from local schools to the dojo, helps with homework, provides a snack, and the kids get to do their karate class all before 6pm. As a working parent, this has been a lifesaver. It has helped to free up time in the evenings for things like dinner and family time. In addition to the after-school program, Indiana Martial Arts partners with parents and teachers to ensure that the students are doing their best not only at the dojo but at home and school. Before being able to test for the next level, school-age students are required to have their parents and school teacher sign a form saying that the student is giving their best effort at school and at home. If the student's form is returned and either the parent or the school teacher does not feel that the student is giving their best effort, they are not allowed to test for the next karate level. However, that's not the end. Often, a meeting will take place with the parents and/or student to find out what's going on outside of karate that is causing them to not give their all. Indiana Martial Arts is so much more than a karate school - it's like a second home to us, as well as many other families. I can honestly say that the people we've met and the experiences we've gained since being part of IMA have positively impacted our lives and continue to do so every day.

He is very knowledgeable about the history of tkd and encourages everyone to push themselves and stretch (literally and figuratively) your abilities. Mr. Smith has been my coach for five years or so and I went from only being able to touch my shins to now stretching and being able to put my hands under my feet when I stretch. I had originally started tkd as a parent, simply watching. I loved the message Mr. Smith gave the kids about working hard and focusing mind, body and soul. This is what my child needed - a way to burn off excess energy, as well as focus. After attending several classes as a parent, I decided I needed to join as well. It turned out to be one of the best decisions ever! Mr. Smith provides a great workout, fantastic instruction and support as you grow through tae Kwon do. I encourage you to not only enroll your kids, but yourself, as well. I've always been a runner, but this helps with balance, flexibility and core strength, many of the things we "older" people are encouraged to work on as we age. During this pandemic when most gyms are closed and classes are cancelled, Mr. Smith has stepped outside of the box and has been doing videos online to help with forms, as well as online classes via zoom. I can't say enough about Mr. Smith and Confidence Club!

They go above and beyond to keep parents regularly informed, and enforce safety protocols. Our boys have excelled not only in Taekwondo, but in their own confidence, attention and self awareness. The program is worth every penny.
