So far what I've seen from Mastery has been amazing! Not just a martial arts program but also a life skills program! The equipment that they want you to use is by them, and a little bit pricey, But it's a one time investment in your child's future. I think it's worth it!

My 5 year old likes coming back. He is following along well, and getting lots of excercise.

I highly recommend Mastery Martial Arts to any parent looking for a supportive, high-quality karate program for their child. It’s been a wonderful investment in both their physical and personal growth! Less

I am a student here, and I love doing Karate because of how it's taught.

I was really skeptical about signing my son up for Mastery because he was previously taking boxing lessons and eventually got uninterested over time. Which also meant I lost out on my hard earned money. 😞 I was very thankful Mastery offered a discount for the first month before the 6month contract started. I was confident my money wouldn’t be wasted. My son did SO much better in a group setting ... More

I was really skeptical about signing my son up for Mastery because he was previously taking boxing lessons and eventually got uninterested over time. Which also meant I lost out on my hard earned money. 😞 I was very thankful Mastery offered a discount for the first month before the 6month contract started. I was confident my money wouldn’t be wasted. My son did SO much better in a group setting opposed to the private lessons he was attending for boxing. Mr, Strecker does an amazing job as an instructor and makes it so much fun for the kids and parents. I love getting involved during the sessions. We’ve only been attending for about a month so far but my son’s mood has improved tremendously and he seems to be more confident as well. My FAVORITE thing about Mastery is the fact that it offers SO MUCH! The whole program is well worth the price and I am very pleased and impressed with everything the program offers. Personally, with my Busy work schedule and doctors appointments, and being a single mom, mastery has become something me and my son do together and bond with as well. I love the fact Mr. Strecker includes parents. I don’t feel guilty for working so much because we always look forward to martial arts days together. I would absolutely recommend Mastery to kids of all ages. The benefits are outstanding and the program offers SO MUCH! Even if you’re skeptical, it never hurts to give it a try! I did and I don’t regret it one bit! Less

Ethan loves going to his martial art classes. The training has improved his discipline and concentration, we can clearly see the changes happening on him.

Incredible. This place gets it! I was met with the warmest welcome from the first phone call to inquire. We are now a month in and every class/session has been amazing. So glad we found it. Thank you.

My child's experience with Mastery Martial Arts has had a profound impact on our family. It has greatly improved her mindset, emotions, and behavior in everyday life. She used to be quite shy about performing or speaking up in group settings, especially around older kids. She worried they might know more than she did and would laugh at her for sharing her thoughts. However, Mastery Martial Arts has helped her build the confidence to express her feelings and face challenging situations with courage. This newfound strength has enabled her to handle real-life situations, like dealing with bullying and managing rude or disrespectful friends at school and in our neighborhood. Belief: She has developed a strong belief in herself and now understands what to believe in and whom to trust. Respect: She practices respect for her parents, siblings, surroundings, and people for who they are. Honesty: She is committed to being honest in every situation she encounters. Discipline: She follows discipline in everything she does, which not only keeps her day productive but also contributes to her overall well-being. Communication: She recognizes that effective communication is key to achieving all the above pillars. As parents, we are proud to see her applying these principles consistently in her everyday life.

Mastery Martial Arts is a wonderful place for kids. He is just doing great job. Their coaching style is superb. It keeps everyone interested in the class.

Our daughter has become even more confident since joining, and has embraced all of the behavioral themes that have been taught thus far. She even makes her bed every morning, thanks to Mr. Strecker. Personally, as a girl dad, I wanted my daughter to join so she’d be able to protect herself and be confident enough to speak up for herself. I absolutely love watching her develop these skills everyday that she’s in class. I cannot stress enough how much she loves attending class! Less

My child was lacking in confidence and self respect. After joining karate at Mastery Martial Arts they have made a complete 180. My child now has gained confidence in themselves and it has reflected positively on those around them. Keep up the great work.

Whatever your company is doing, I hope you continue to give these kids their lives back. My heart has been touched and I am VERY impressed with what you do and have done.

My son was getting bullied at school and needed something for positive moments and I found it at Mastery Martial Arts. I was worried he start fights but he has found more self control than I could have ever imagined. I have a 8 year old that asks to go to bed early, excellent all school goals, makes his bed and knows how to defend himself so school can be about learning and not about worrying how to be safe. He is on the spectrum and Mastery Martial Arts has done more for my proud, amazing son than any other organization we tried. All my coworkers are ready to get there kids in, I didn't realize how much I talked about the amazing improvements I have seen in son. I am a proud parent and I love the process he has made in only weeks of this amazing program. Thank you Mastery Martial Arts, I added caps for respect Thank you Less

Mastery Martial Arts is a wonderful place for kids. My Son recently got enrolled, he is just doing great. Staffs are courteous. They have well maintained plans for the kids, the parent interactive coaching style is something i wanted to mention and it is superb. It keeps everyone interested in the class.

Before karate , our child was always restless and struggled with being confident. After just a few months, we have noticed a huge change . He’s matured so much in a short amount of time . His confidence has grown and we look forward to seeing his future progress and success . Would recommend to all families in the area .

My daughter has been here more than a month and she just loves it.

This is a very exciting program. If you want your child to be self confident, learn discipline, be respectful, learn skills on how to protect themselves, and have fun all at the same time, I would highly suggest prestige martial arts. I love it and my kids love it even more and are very excited to be part of the black belt leadership program.

Our son attends excellent martial art. We love the discipline with which they train and the values ​​they give to the children.

We have had a very positive experience with Prestige Martial Arts. Denny and the entire team have welcomed us with open arms and have been extremely patient, positive and supportive with my 4-year old that has a difficult time with new things. We are looking forward to our first year at Prestige!

Honestly it’s amazing seeing all the children so disciplined and love that Prestige makes it more than about martial arts but more about the real world! Nowadays it is hard to raise kids and this place helps you navigate the world, through books that Denny has written to online connecting with other parents. So thank you Prestige keep up the great work!

Great learning experience for kids as well as exercise and discipline!

I am so thankful we found Prestige for our daughter. She is 6 and wanted to learn karate this year but she is getting so much more out of it than just the martial arts. We were struggling with bedtime, always having to cajole, threaten, or force her to put on pajamas, brush her teeth, choose a book to read, etc. Since attending classes at Prestige, she has learned about black-belt discipline and now her bedtime routine is much improved. She is actually proud to accomplish her bedtime jobs (and other chores) on her own now. The instructors are great with her and all the kids, they make the classes fun but also require respect and responsibility from them. It’s great to have a partner in Prestige to support our parenting and reinforce the values and habits we want to instill in her. Less

Our son has been going to the Karate lessons for a 2 months now. And we love it so far! It’s a completely different experience compared to the usual physical activity classes. Here are the things I personally liked: - They call it a black belt leadership program. So it’s not just about the art of self defense. Denny talks about how to work on becoming a leader and be confident so kids of all ages can understand. The children earn stripes based on their overall life developments. Variety of things like making their bed, doing homework, cleaning up, learning new things, following parents instructions. And my kid strives to get more and more stripes. LOVE this concept. - The Physical activity part is also very challenging and my kid loves to work on getting better at that. - Their personal touch and the coaching style during the class from all the instructors (especially from Denny) is very good and effective. I highly recommend them to everyone! Less

Prestige Martial Arts is the best place to take your kids every day. I have 13 year-old and seven year old every day when I take my kids here the best goal setting strategies and helping them to reach the goals especially like making the bed respecting the elders finishing homework on time helping in daily chores at home with love.Coach Shihan is the best in the town. Kids love to go every day.

The place is wonderful. The instructor is denny or "shihan" and he really knows how to work with the kids while being professional and also silly which young kids need sometimes along with structure. Kristy is who deals with the outside phone calls and issues and she is just so sweet and genuine. You can see how much every kid loves them both when they burst through the doors.

My son just started to go! Great place to learn Karate. Staff is really good, polite and welcoming.

Start your child’s journey as soon as you can at Prestige because Shihan has developed an amazing program that will build a great foundation for life. We started our daughter’s journey at 7 I only wish we started this sooner.

Can’t say enough great things about Prestige Martial Arts! Our son has just started but I’m already seeing a boost in self esteem and confidence. He looks forward to going every week!

I like this book that the author Denny has written to help children gain positive skills in life.This book is about self-confidence, a lovely way to convey the concept of self-confidence to kids and beautifully illustrated. This one helps children to be confident in themselves and if they fail at something, as long as they did their best, it’s okay because they can try again.

It's been a month since my son joined Prestige Martial Arts and he is all excited to attend the classes. Denny and Kristy are amazing and my son is building up his self confidence.

It has been a few months since my daughter started at Prestige and it has been a really positive experience. She is excited to attend classes and loves demonstrating all her newly learned moves at home. Denny and Kristy are both amazing and have been really supportive. An added bonus to Prestige is that our daughter is now happy to help out with chores!

My son started at Prestige about a month ago. We have seen improvement in his self-confidence almost instantly! Shihan dedicates himself to each and every kid, and it shows! We cannot say enough good things about Prestige!

He is speech delayed due to a stammer, and very ADHD.

My son's confidence has soared, and he's better behaved in school and out. He takes initiative in his interactions with peers and is more respectful to adults. Because of this success, my entire family including my husband and I are now enrolled! Highly recommend to anyone who wants their children to be confident and Independent! Less

The staff is extremely helpful and supportive. Teaching kids self-defense, honesty, respect, and confidence. My son was eager to join, and his confidence within himself grew immediately. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to start their martial arts journey.

My child has already gained confidence since starting. Shihan is very kind ,understanding & helpful when they start with lack of confidence and focus. Love prestige.

Prestige has been a great addition to my son’s life. He has learned many new skills, which has helped him gain confidence. It’s showing him he can do hard things and have fun at the same time. He’s also getting physical exercise which is a plus. We are very happy to be apart of the Prestige family!

Prestige Martial Arts has been an amazing experience for me. I feel like my anxiety has been reduced and I feel so much better mentally and physically. Please go give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks ton to both of you. My kid is enjoying to go to class with full on energy and excitement. We are happy that we have made right decision joining our daughter at Prestige Martial Arts. Less

Prestige Martial Arts will not only provide your child with a set of self-defense tools but also build self-confidence and provide leadership skills within them. My daughter attends to little dragons at PMA Troy. She loves her classes! The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful.

My child just joined prestige martial arts and the overall experience has been wonderful. Denny and his wife Kristy are extremely helpful and supportive. My daughter is learning about respect and strength. I would recommend this martial arts school to anyone in search of a supportive and immersive program.

I’m so happy having my son in the class during summer I can’t wait to see more n more changes on him so glad we work with amazing coach Thank you for the amazing school

We love PMA. Have both the kids doing Martial Arts as well as leadership training here and we all love it.

My Daughter had been repeatedly asking to do Karate, one day we drove by the Bright Green Prestige sign and ever since she has been taking Martial arts there and loves it. She even had her birthday party there this weekend, and got to chop her birthday cake in half with a sword.

We have been a part of the Prestige community for over 4 years and we have seen great growth in both of our daughters during that time. I enjoy how this program places emphasis on key life skills as well as the study of martial arts.

We’ve been going to Prestige martial arts in Troy for a few months and we love it. The schedule is flexible, our kids are learning karate, building confidence and getting stronger. They also have a lot of fun! We could not be happier!

UPDATED: We've been a part of the Prestige family for about 2.5 years and in that time I've watched my son grow so much and I couldn't be more grateful. He's taken some big steps. I'm beyond proud. There were parent teacher conferences this week and his teacher surprised me with nothing but compliments! She asked what we were doing and I we sppoke about the life skills that come out of the Karate class room and how much it has impacted my son for the better. We spoke about the growth she has seen and how he approaches difficult situations. My son sees a neuromuscular therapist and he is also very happy with the progress. His muscle binds have made a dramatic improvement of 30°. That's HUGE for him. We are no longer stuck in a repeat rutt. My son is working harder inside school, karate class, his other activities and around the house. He has got a drive to practice and rise to new challenges versus giving up that I haven't seen before. He's doing much better controlling his big emotions by expressing them in a healthy way. If you find yourself wondering like I was, would being a part of Prestige help us on our journey, the answer for us was and is yes, one hundred times YES! Not only has my son benefited but I have learned a lot even our relationship has improved. Another bonus my son lost about 16 pounds since his doctor asked him to lose 5, his doctor said keep it up what he's doing! I cannot wait to see what the future holds on this awesome adventure. Thank you Shihan for all of your wonderful lessons. being there to help us address issues, helping set my son up to succeed, navigate our crazy world, and be prepared for whatever may lay ahead. We are very grateful to our Prestige family. 🙏👏 Less

It's been an amazing experience joining PMA Troy. My 4.5 yo has shown what patience, kindness and focus can be in kids. I have heard from his preschool teacher that she is setting him as an example for their entire class. Excited and looking ahead what else is going to unfold in this journey.

Shihan works with every individual based on their ability taking them to the next level. The smiles on every student is a testament as to how much they enjoy the class.

Prestige martial arts has helped my son learn to follow directions and be more respectful. He loves the fun atmosphere and is growing confident each time we go!

great help to kids for gaining confidence and self-esteem

My child is much more comfortable in his body. He’s more confident and disciplined! Most importantly he handles failure with grace and even excitement that we get to try again! I so wish I had been given these skills as a child. They are invaluable!

Prestige is more then just a martial arts school, it’s geared towards whole child development. Motivating and raising strong willed kids is an already challenging task, but Prestige helps give us parents (& kids!) the tools to make it that much easier.

I’ve been bringing my twins to Prestige Martial Arts for 2 years and couldn't be happier. My kids have learned so much and have gained so much confidence in themselves. They learn so much more than kicking and breaking the board- they learn how to set goals and self discipline to achieve those goals.Shihan is excellent instructor with kids and really make the classes fun!

Fantastic atmosphere and facility for our kids to build confidence, learn life lessons, and get some exercise!

Excellent teen program!

My kid started karate program in Nov 2020 and still loves to attend the karate school with the same energy and enthusiasm everyday since the first day!! Shihan is a wonderful mentor and we all are thankful for everything he teaches and does for the betterment of kids as well as parents !!

Best place for Kids to learn Martial Arts Mr. Shihan Teaching style is great. My son really enjoys the classes, and I do see lots of improvement in him after joining Prestige Martial arts.I would strongly recommend Prestige Martial arts.

We are extremely happy with my daughter’s classes!

We love that Aadhi is learning more than Karate at the class.

Best place to take your kids to learn karate and life skills! My little brother is always so excited to go and learn, we have been here for about a month and a half and every time we go in the experience has been great! Shihan and Kristy have been phenomenal to us! I totally recommend coming to this place you won’t regret it. PS, you make great karate friends!! 🥋💪🏼

This is an amazing class for all ages. The leader is wonderful with kids, teaches respect for both others and self, confidence, honesty, and communication in a fun way that keeps kids focused and engaged the whole time.

This is an amazing program. It is helping our shy little guy build self confidence and self control. Shihan Strecker really cares about these kiddos and knows what he is doing. Very happy customer!

Our two sons just started at Prestige. One who has autism and one who struggles badly with anxiety and self esteem. It’s been challenging finding something they both enjoy and feel comfortable doing. So far, they love it here! Shihan is great. Communication is great. Flexible scheduling. We love it! :)

Prestige is a place full of positive and fun energy! My son has been a member for about 8 weeks and we are very pleased to have picked this place for our son.

My 7 year old daughter started at Prestige 6 weeks ago.

My 7 year old daughter started at Prestige 6 weeks ago. After experiencing her first two years of elementary school living through covid, and all the political and race issues in the world, she had started to show signs of anxiety and depression. She was scared, angry, upset and insecure often. After a few attempts to help her, I found Prestige Martial Arts. We did the 2 week trial with nothing to lose. However, we didn’t realize how much we would gain! In just those first 2 weeks, we saw a huge improvement in her attitude, her confidence, her courage and her respect for herself and others. We decided to commit and sign her up. After the 3rd week, my daughter was asked to write a few sentences on who her hero was and why. She chose Shihan all by herself and her reason was “for making her strong.” As her mom, I will add that he not only made her “strong” but he brought peace and joy to her life, to our family’s life. Our sweet girl who was trapped with her fears and feelings all bundled up with no release was back! The best part was that she recognized it herself and was SO grateful and relieved. She felt heard and understood and was now moving in the right direction. Prestige is SO much more than karate kicks and punches. Shihan teaches these kids real life skills and helps them implement them at home, school and in the community. He is like a therapist, life coach and co-parent all in one! 😃 My daughter responds well to his tough love and structure. We are so thankful for Prestige. Less

My son really likes the classes here and he is more open minded to the changes than before!

My children attended classes virtually with Shihan throughout the pandemic. It kept them happy and healthy and I couldn’t be more grateful. He is a kind and patient teacher and truly cares about the development of the kids. The *only* reason we are not continuing with Prestige is because we live in a different state and my children want to switch to in person. I highly recommend this program.

My daughter has joined Prestige since two months now and we have seen great difference in her. She has not only leaned the Karate skills but also soft skills, confidence building and leadership skills as well. Shihan is the best coach and does excellent job. I highly recommend this Karate class to anyone.

My son has gained confidence and is learning discipline throughout his daily life that will help him in everything he does, all thanks to Prestige Martial Arts. He loves class and is excited to attend. I love how this martial arts school focuses on building the character of its members every bit as much as it teaches karate. So glad I found Prestige Martial Arts!

I am very impressed with the Prestige Martial Arts Troy method of teaching karate. The students learn MUCH more than karate skills.

SHIHAN (the teacher) has a wealth of knowledge to share and has created a very welcoming community. It is clear from the moment you walk in that he is truly dedicated to his craft and to helping kids reach their highest potential. Prestige Martial Art Troy is the best place for kids to acquire the biggest life skill that lacks somewhere else. Our children have already shown improvement in coordination, confidence and seems to have gained a stronger sense of personal responsibility through the program. I love and appreciate the hug I’m getting from my children at least twice every class and the time I spent on discussing on the leadership skills. So If you’re on the fence about trying out the martial arts, definitely start here! Less

Physical, mental, behavior, discipline, and confidence. All are challenged in a positive manner, the kids have fun, and the results are noticed quickly.

The owner is a nice guy and keeps the kids engaged. My only complaint is the time of the class. I work every week day and it is a challenge to make it to a 5pm class. Otherwise, my daughter loves karate class!

Our boys have been doing karate at Prestige since the end of 2021. Their self confidence has sky rocketed and they are over all happier kids. The structure and discipline is exactly what they needed. They look forward to karate nights and so do us parents! It has been a great family bonding experience both inside the class and out. We highly recommend Prestige to everyone!

We continued our kid's Karate classes even during COVID lockdowns in 2020 since Prestige Martial Arts offered virtual classes. Even today, you have the option to attend Karate classes either in-person (preferred by Shihan :-)) or Virtual.

Great program! It is a perfect balance between physical growth and mental growth. There are not many programs out there for your children that address the many different aspects of your child’s development. Some areas are: Endurance, Confidence, Discipline, and Responsibility to just name a few. We highly recommend this program.

My son started in Little Dragons at six years old, and has been in the kids karate program for almost one year. The improvement I’ve seen in him is tremendous - he has more confidence in taking on tough tasks and he’s able to more effectively work through failure and learn from his mistakes. He has become more positive through the life skills taught by Denny Strecker and has found opportunities to employ new skills at school as well as at home. He is also involved in the Leadership program, learning essential skills and techniques to be a leader at such a young age. His confidence with public speaking as well as his overall demeanor when talking to people - stand tall, eye contact, clear voice are improving with every session. Denny is wonderful with the kids, enforcing standards and expectations in a positive and productive manner to enable each student to grow to be successful in their future. His dedication shows in every class, email, and in all communication to the parents and kids. I highly recommend Prestige Martial Arts for any kid and their parents. Less

Karate has been a great activity for my son and I. We are in the little dragon age group and I really love how the exercises engage both parent and child. I've been able to witness improvements in behavior first hand thanks to the principles that Karate helps to enforce. I'm so happy that I enrolled him and look forward to seeing him grow and advance with the help of Shihan's karate classes.

I just recently heard about this program and how the instructor Mr. Strecker has a different view on how to teach Karate. Its not just about the martial Arts, although that is a Plus in this program. The REAL take home is how he helps build self-esteem and Confidence for each Student. My son is very introverted. He is very self-conscious has struggled with being bullied and barely ever smiled anymore. When I heard about this program I couldn't help but give it a try because nothing else I was trying was helping. When starting Prestige Martial Arts, my son was very QUIET, SHY and withdrawn. Almost like i was "Making" him do it. But as the days went on and turned into months, and stripes were being accomplished and belts were changing it saw a change in my son. Although he is still quiet at times and still has his struggles, I have seen a spark, a light at times, and a few smiles... And for this mom its a WIN and i will take it. My son is enjoying the days he goes to Karate and is applying what he learns into his life. Even at school, although he still has his days where he's quiet i see more of him come out of his shell. We have only been attending Prestige for a few months but seeing the positive outcome so far, i truly cant wait to continue to watch my son grow into a confident young man. Thank you Mr. Strecker for all you do and we couldn't be happier being apart of your AMAZING Program. Less

She has earned her white belt by waking up to her alarm clock for five days with no help. She has earned stripes for good effort in class as well as other goals she has worked on.

Prestige martial arts teaches kids the skills which required in real world. Shihan always helps kids to work on focus, discipline, respect and confidence. My kids love to the part of prestige martial arts.

Our son loves Prestige! He started out the classes quiet and unsure but within one week he was already gaining confidence. Now less than two months in he is speaking loudly and clearly and follows all instructions in class immediately. He enjoys the classes and is learning the physical and life skills!!

My son only been enrolled in the program for 1 month. But, he is always looking forward to come back. The instructor has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He makes its fun and enjoyable for the kids. I look forward to continue to see my son progress.

My 4 year old son was shy and not really confident before starting his classes at prestige. After a month I see him way more confident and he just loves going there ! A good place where he can also take his energy out ! Would strongly recommend this school

My son is loving this program!! We started him because covid isolation had been hard on him, confidence was lacking. Starting karate with Prestiege martial arts helps him see what a rock star he really is. He looks forward to his time here every single week!

Our son has been enrolled with Prestige for a little over a month now. We couldn't be more pleased! If you are looking to sign your child up for a karate class where you can just drop them off or sit on the sideline, Prestige may not be for you. Parent involvement is required to assist your child during class. Examples of parent involvement are counting jumping jacks, tracking their progress, holding a kicking paddle, hugging and high-fiving your child. The karate program at Prestige isn't focused solely on executing the moves, it's primary focus is to give your child the tools needed to live a happy, healthy, and successful life. The children work on valuable life skills like how to introduce yourself to someone new, reading social cues, set goals, contributing at home, believing in yourself, etc. I could go on forever. In the last 6 weeks, we have already noticed a consistent difference in our son's attitude and self confidence. If you are considering joining Prestige, DO IT! Shihan is an amazing instructor and life coach. If you put in the effort, you will be extremely pleased. I also highly recommend joining the Leadership Training to maximize your child's outcome. Prestige also offers virtual classes. Less

Very pleased! My son is in the Little Dragon program for the past month. I appreciate the positive life skills enforced through Karate. We are a month in and look forward to the classes.

My son loves the virtual classes. He can not wait to get on and genuinely enjoys attending.

Great for my 5yr old! He learns listening skills and discipline. Convenient in scheduling as well.

Shihan is great and does well with our 4 year old son. He has started listening better after 5 weeks.

I'm so glad I found Prestige Martial Arts for my kids' Karate. My 7 year old daughter is thoroughly enjoying all the classes. The instructions are very clear even for the virtual classes. My daughter feels enthusiastic each day to join her class. I have already started seeing difference in her attitude as she has picked up this line very well "Yes I can!". Thank you Shihan.

My son is listening better, his temper tantrums have been significantly reduced, and he is excited to meet the goals and expectations that Prestige and I have set for him every day. Prestige has helped us to find the balance between structure and fun and I am beyond grateful. We are excited to continue and I can’t wait to see how much more they both grow through this program. Shihan is personable, professional, and is always quick to respond. He has been so helpful in this process. Less

My son loves virtual karate! He is growing with his karate skills and his personal development. He is also more confident and disciplined. Shihan is very personable and professional, and my son enjoys participating in the classes with him.

The passion and enthusiasm Shihan Denny puts into this program is already evident in our kids. The virtual classes have been amazing during this lockdown. We are very happy with Prestige. Highly recommended.

I found Prestige from looking online and immediately loved their plan and goal for the program. Before Axel started the program, if called he would say what? And not come, now he is saying im coming and comes when hes called. He is being much more polite, he has a way better attitude in the morning when getting ready for school. And hes doing better with anger since starting this program. He loves Shihan and looks forward to every class, and is always determined to do his best and do better than he did before. The Yes I Can has helped him immensely. And we are so happy and excited to see how this program is helping him grow!! ♥️ Thank you so much for giving him this opportunity especially since where we live there are no opportunities like this for him.

Shihan does an excellent job instilling leadership values in the kids while teaching martial arts. The values and behaviors he emphasizes are lifetime skills, and he makes it relatable to the kids.

We took a bit of a chance doing karate over Zoom...but Prestige Martial Arts has exceeded all our expectations! Shihan is fully invested in nurturing their physical and mental well being. Our kids, ages 7&8, look forward to class every week & have made their beds since the 2nd week of class, in addition to volunteering to do their chores! It's an amazing difference from a teacher who cares.

I love that we can do this virtually since we live in a different state. Shihan does a great job with the kids and they truly teach and enforce great life skills. We love it.

My relationship with Prestige Martial Arts is not of a student, but rather of someone with a business relationship with the school's leadership.

My daughter Jailynn started a little over a month ago and we absolutely love it! Shihan is very professional, kind and attentive to each child. Jailynn has learned so much and gets excited when it’s class time. My oldest daughter watches the classes and is thinking about joining as well 😊

Our son just started Prestige less than a month ago and we love that the values he is learning there are the same we are trying to instill at home. Denny Strecker is great with communication and taking the time to work with our son when needs it.

a wonderful experience for my grandson

we started karate training about a month and a half ago ... my son, who is only 3.3 years old, loves to come to class. I am very surprised at my son's discipline in class, he likes the atmosphere, Denny Strecker Shihan in the first place ❤️, uniform , friend etc. We are expecting great achievements in karate of our son🥋

Since enrolling in Prestige Martial Arts (formerly Skillz Dynamic Martial Arts) our son has grown both physically and psychologically. From a physical standpoint he has learned the karate basics (kicking/punching/etc) but also is growing in his ability to execute defense tactics and handle physical confrontations. From a psychological standpoint, his discipline and overall behavior continues to improve at home. He has greater self confidence since starting the program and is learning what it means to lead in various situations. Overall we highly recommend Denny Strecker and the PMA program. A word of caution for parents...this is not a drop your kid and go type program. You must keep up with the curriculum, at home practice, and weekly videos that explain what's happening in class.

Also she eats better after classes))) The environment there is very friendly, funny and save. All parents are involved together with their kids. It’s good place for kids activity. Less

My son has been attending classes since last month and he really liked the program. I think this program is really helping my son in improving personal life skills (self confidence, listening, being a good leader, focus, respect). Great instructor!! Great place!! i recommend the program!

We have seen great positive changes with Parker in just 4 weeks. Prestige is not just about learning karate and self defense, it is about developing leadership skills, build confidence/respect/positive attitude in a child. It is just the beginning for us and I am sure there is a lot more

Our son has been attending karate classes since July of 2019. We see a large progress in his self discipline and motivation, and he absolutely loves coming to class every Saturday! It's truly a great place for child development and karate training. We reccomend it to all of our friends!

Best teacher ever

My son has been a member for a little over a month. He attends twice a week with his dad. He is a very shy kid and he is a soft talker. I went to the class last week and was overjoyed to be able to here his voice over the other kids. I have seen such a difference in him becoming a leader. The class is challenging yet rewarding. I will recommend this class to everyone!!

Hi, My son has just recently started at Prestige Martial Arts and in less than a month his Father and I have seen so much of a Difference in Zachary. We're so glad that we've enrolled Zachary into Prestige Martial Arts! Denny's a Great teacher!

I really recommend Skillz Dynamic Martial Arts program for young kids, teaching them not only martial arts but also teaching discipline, improving character, developing positive attitude and boosting confidence. Shihan Denny is super with kids and they respect him.

We love this program! Our son Logan is an only child, so we wanted an after school activity that he can interact with kids his age ( age 6 at the time). SDMA turned out to be the perfect choice. Shihan not only teaches karate, but has developed a program that teaches the kids what it means and takes to be an outstanding person. Logan is now 10 and is such a considerate young man.

We love this program! Our son Logan is an only child, so we wanted an after school activity that he can interact with kids his age ( age 6 at the time). SDMA turned out to be the perfect choice. Shihan not only teaches karate, but has developed a program that teaches the kids what it means and takes to be an outstanding person. Logan is now 10 and is such a considerate young man. His teachers and principal at school always comment what a great kid he is, and what a leader he is also. I owe all that to SDMA. Shihan is constantly improving the program. If something works good, he'll work hard to make great. THANKS SHIHAN FOR ALL YOU DO!!! Less

My 7 year old has been attending classes at Skillz Dynamic Martial Arts for about a year and a half. In that time, I have seen such an improvement in him. He loves Shihan and doesn’t even realize the important life skills he is learning. I love the classes so much that I recently enrolled my 3 year old as well.

How many 3 year olds listen, say yes ma’am, and do things because they have a “Yes I Can” attitude? Mine does and it’s because of these classes. Shihan is wonderful with all ages and abilities of the kids and teaches valuable lessons to the parents as well. I honestly cannot say enough about this program!!! Less

Great place teaching kids all kinds of skills Overcoming with challenges Helping with obedience

Kids love too many things to say. Thank you Shihan.

I highly recommend skillz dynamic martial arts. As a mom of a 6 year old boy struggling in many areas from self respect, confidence, communication to handeling his emotions it was very hard to find a program that worked on all these areas of life in one setting.

I highly recommend skillz dynamic martial arts. As a mom of a 6 year old boy struggling in many areas from self respect, confidence, communication to handeling his emotions it was very hard to find a program that worked on all these areas of life in one setting. I was introduced to skillz dynamic videos over a year ago!!! we are just now just finishing a two week trial. I regret not going a year ago. The facility is clean, welcoming, and you feel like a family from day one. The instructure is amazing with the kids and very experienced as well. My absolute favorite part of this program is the parent involvement. Many programs we have found focused more on one or the other, parent or child not both!!! The instructor not only supports your child but you as a parent as well! Less

It’s been 2.5 years now, my kid is going to SDMA and she learned self defense techniques along with basic life skills.

As a student our son enjoys every class, he has learned many skills which we can see helping him now and will be helpful in the future. Many times, his leadership skill surprises us. While watching our son in class we also get chance to learn good skills of parenting too 😊. I say, this program improved our son’s self-confidence, strength and discipline. We feel proud seeing how our son creates being friendly with everybody. We would like to thank Shihan for all his effort to make our son’s life better. Less

Skillz Dynamic Martial Arts is a positive atmosphere where your child learns skills that will help them through and into their adult life. My Son is learning how to be a leader, have confidence, work with others, and many more! I love watching him grow and learn every week!

The best training class ever had! Brand new studio, great coach, effective result! Thank you Shihan!

The course is very helpful and nicely designed not just physically strengthening , but also helps in improving ones personality and the kids gain a lot from these clases. It makes them more dynamic , disclipned , motivated and have a great insight of the tools required to deal with day to day activities

My child is having a blast . Not only he enjoys the classes but his self esteem and confidence has improved ever since he joined here. The kids all love their Shihan and he had a great positive influence in their lives. They teach not only karate but life skills. I am thankful I found SDMA. 🙏

There are many reasons why this should be the place your child does an extracurricular activity. It goes far beyond simply learning some awesome punches and kicks (though that part is awesome). It is more than a thorough exercise routine that will keep your child in shape (though it does that too).

There are many reasons why this should be the place your child does an extracurricular activity. It goes far beyond simply learning some awesome punches and kicks (though that part is awesome). It is more than a thorough exercise routine that will keep your child in shape (though it does that too). What separates this from any other activity (sports, etc) is Shihan’s emphasis on incorporating valuable life skills into the program. Respect, communication, in this class and in life. This class provides an opportunity to learn self defense, have fun, and stay in shape. But it will also teach your child how to be leaders in the world. Get your kid in this class. Less

This program has enhanced and reinforced our home values. It has also increased our children's confidence with their speaking skills.

I had a wonderful experience with my son, he is high functioning autistic but followed fairly well and came home excited to show what he had learned!

The SDMA karate program is a really great program to not only teach kids martial arts & self defense, but more importantly, to teach many personal life skills, which will be invaluable both now & well into the future and adulthood, both personally and professionally.

The SDMA karate program is a really great program to not only teach kids martial arts & self defense, but more importantly, to teach many personal life skills, which will be invaluable both now & well into the future and adulthood, both personally and professionally. Some of those skills are self confidence, effective communication, listening, being a good leader, focus, respect, persistence, making & achieving goals. I think this program is really helping my son to work toward being the best version of himself. I recommend the program! Less

Skillz Dynamic Martial Arts is great place for the kids to improve confidence , self control.I would definitely recommend this! Very nice and professional.my kids love this place a lot.

Affordable, professional, fun. Happy to take my son here even with the 40min drive.

Our three year old has always had trouble listening (typical toddler right!?) and he’s been doing classes for about 5 weeks and we’ve noticed improvements already in his behavior! He has fun while learning valuable life skills.

We love it here! The shihan is amazing with the kids and the program helps so much with the skills kids need such as self confidence, discipline, communication and leadership! Highly recommend to everyone

Our girls have been in ther program for almost 2 years & we've gained nothing but great changes. Their demeanor & confidence has flourished. It's such a great feeling knowing that with each class our girls walk away not only physically stronger, but also mentally and emotionally stronger. Our karate school is definitely in a league of it's own. 😊💪🥋 Less

My daughter struggles with introversion and this program has allowed her to begin coming out of her shell. Since her first class her instructor and the aid have always ensured those extra needed minutes were spent with my daughter. The extra effort has not gone unnoticed. Thank you again Shihan & Mr. M!

This program as boosted my son’s self confidence, his willingness to try new things, and he is becoming more self disciplined at home. We originally joined because of my son being bullied but this program is so much more. Tips and strategies are also given to Parents which have greatly increased the peace at home. This is truely a developmental program both mentally and physically.

Shihan is fantastic and works to help your child be the best version of himself/herself. He even gives useful strategies and tips to the parents! You won’t find a more passionate instructor.
