Excellent place to send your kids! The instructors are highly attentive and personable with each child. Every kid has a sense of belonging and can grow at their own pace. It's much more than the sport, the confidence boost and discipline is amazing. The price is very reasonable and comparable to other places with the added benefit of a flexible schedule.

My son has been a member for a couple of years now, and he had his birthday party at FCMA today. The Senseis were amazing, they took care of everything and were so great with the whole group. Probably the best party experience he has had! As a parent, it was wonderful to just show up and have the details taken care of. Awesome experience!

Highly recommend enrolling at the dojo! My Daughter has had such a great experience since enrolling here. All the Sensei‘s are extremely professional and make my daughter feel super welcomed every class. They are not only patient and kind with her, they also all want to ensure she has the best tools for success. I 10/10 recommend!
