Verified feedback from our students and members.
“reached out to Master Elkins and to my surprise he was very open to coaching our son.”
Master Elkins was so patient and so kind with him. For each tasks required, he would partner him with students and taught them compassion and kindness. He also taught his peers how to help Jonathan to kick and punch properly. And when my son received his first belt, the entire class cheered and encouraged him. His class became a team of Leaders!
— Wanda J.
“Our kids have gained alot of self confidence and motivation!”
He allows the older students to help instruct the younger students in which gives the older kids a sense of Leadership and role modeling which helps with their self confidence as well as learning responsibility. Mr. Elkins is a wonderful mentor to the students and families and great role model. We are very pleased with the establishment and consider them family!
— K Ramsey.
“This was the best studio we have tried over the years!”
Master Elkins not only teaches the physical aspects of martial arts but also incorporates "Life Skills" booklets and a lesson every class (normally through personal experiences). We were family there and my son's punches, kicks, forms, and attitude displayed it. I hope we can find something remotely close around our new home!
