Master Mike and the coaches do a great job engaging and training students of all ages. It’s been a great way for my daughter to let out energy in a productive way and grow in confidence. The studio is tidy and organized.

Master Butler has been an amazing instructor the last two years. He pushes us to be a better version of ourselves without being rude or disrespectful. He is great at teaching others respect as well. I have seen myself pushed, in a positive way, to become a better martial artist every class. And the journey has been very fun. I have seen myself grow in self-control, skill, power, and confidence in my physical abilities since attending. And I hope to continue growing under his teaching as well. The community is very positive as well. We push each other but in a friendly and positive way. Everyone is very kind and wants you to succeed. If you are looking for a place to learn martial arts, better yourself, or just a fun place to get some good exercise, I can't recommend a better place than Hero.

I completed radiation treatment for breast cancer in June of 2025 and went to watch my son belt test for his Orange belt after healing from treatment. I was so inspired and impressed with the welcoming environment that I thought I would try it out. I was worried and shy at first, but that went away at the beginning of my first class. The instructors are amazing, kind, thoughtful, and have years of experience behind those black belts. I just moved up to yellow belt and my son just moved up to green belt and is now in the Black Belt Club. We learn self confidence, inclusion, and compassion. I highly recommend any one of any age to try a class out. You will not regret it!

I went to my granddaughter’s birthday party at Hero Martial Arts. She has been going to classes there for about 6 months. She has become so confident and focused in that time. The party was fantastic! The coaches were calm and patient with the kids and safety was the highest priority. They kept the party moving and fun. I was so impressed!!
