Sending our son to Elite was one of the best decisions we ever made. The students learn far more than karate moves. They are taught values, life skills and so much more. My son is treated like a valued family member. I am forever grateful to Wendy and all the Elite staff members!❤️
My step son begged us for over a year to enroll him in karate. We tried all the other school sports and he hated them. We finally caved and got him in to karate at Elite. I have never seen a kid enjoy a sport as much as he enjoys karate. We have been at Elite for nearly a year and he has come such a long way. Mrs Dwyer and her instructors teach the kids self discipline while incorporating all of the important morals and virtues that kids really need. Sometimes he is a typical 8 year old and gives us a hard time about going, but once he is there he is completely into it and progressing. I knew that karate was going to be “his sport” when he first got to watch the demo team perform, and he made his goal to be a part of the demo team! Looking forward for an amazing few years with Elite!
My daughter has been going to Elite for almost 3 years now. She started out as a shy and timid 3 year old who wouldn’t talk to anyone. She has really grown and gained self confidence attending Elite. She loves her karate family both in the studio and at events such as 5ks and obstacle course races supporting important community causes. My daughter learns about respect, integrity, patience, and even letting people go in front of her. Mrs. Dwyer even gets us moms involved in road trips to self-defense classes. We love Elite and the positive atmosphere we have experienced the last 3 years of being a part of this family.
Our oldest son has been going to Elite Leadership for the last 6 years. We had tried another studio prior to Elite. We didn’t love it. It felt like organized chaos. Then we checked out Elite and haven’t looked back. Once our younger son was old enough, he began taking classes as well. Mrs. Dwyer and all of her Instructors are amazing. They truly care about their students. They invest in them. When you think of the saying “it takes a village,” it is obvious Elite wants to be apart of that village. My boys have been impacted by their Instructors in so many ways. To us, Elite Leadership is more than an after school activity; they’re family!
I would recommend Elite Leadership Martial Arts Academy over and over! Here is a little insight in our journey with the Academy. I have a 5 and 9 year old who are both apart of the school. They both joined at 3 years of age. Both my children suffer from anxiety and need some extra love and attention every now and then. The instructors adapt to every child’s needs and are so patient with them. The instructors love what they do and it is shown every day at class. This school is not just a place for our children to do karate but a place for them to feel loved, grow, and flourish into young men and it doesn’t stop there. The friendships that they have made from the ninja night outs and ninja camps are indescribable. It’s an extended family which I am so grateful for. My children have learned skills that will make them thrive into today’s society and some of the skills they don’t even realize but as a parent I do! Go check it out and sign your child/children up for a free class and see what it is all about. You won’t be sorry that you did!!
A great place to learn and grown mentally and physically. I love taking classes.
Very good place to learn and if they can teach my roller coaster family all the way to black belt, they can teach anyone. Great for kids and adults alike!
