Fusion Martial Arts has been our daughter’s karate home for over 8 years. She started as a little ninja and is testing for black belt in just a few weeks. We started her in karate to teach our then 5 year old how to harness her leadership skills and to improve focus, throughout the years she has grown in leaps and bounds in those areas as well as empathy, tradition, self defense, and teamwork. I have always appreciated that there are female instructors and plenty of female students. We couldn’t be happier to call Fusion Martial Arts her martial arts home.
Real work outs, Very knowledgeable, Friendly staff. They’ve been around for 30 plus years and are continuing to evolve. It’s a very family friendly place. That makes newcomers feel very welcome. Formerly KLS (karate life studios) now Fusion martial arts, as they integrate more and more disciplines into the curriculum
We've been taking my daughter here for about a month, and she really enjoys it. It may be soon too tell, but my wife and I feel like we've already noticed a difference in her personality, desire to help out around the house, confidence, and taking responsibility for her actions. I've enjoyed the way the classes are taught, specifically how they're able to have fun while stressing the importance certain moves and behaviors.
Our daughter has been attending fusion martial arts for 15 months now. Her level of excitement to continue her studies grows every class. All staff are courteous, supportive and focused on maximizing learning potential for all students regardless of their skill level. I highly recommend this studio for any parent that wants their children to learn not just self defense, but life skills for their future endeavors in all aspects of growing up.
I can not begin to express my gratitude for the experiences we have had at karate life studios. My son Braxton has attended this dojo for over a year and it is honestly one of the best decisions we have ever made. The attention and personal care the instructors out into each child is unparalleled and something I have not witnessed in such a setting. They have helped our son grow with his practice and within himself. We are truly thankful for everything they do and we honestly feel it was one of the best decisions we made for our family.
