My wife and I enrolled our daughter Maddie about April or May of 2005. We brought her here for perceived low self-esteem, for interaction issues with her peers at school, and for extracurricular activities aside from watching TV. Within the first month we noticed a positive change in her attitude at school and at home. It is now 17 months later, she has extremely high self-esteem and any interaction issues are all but gone. She is seen as a leader at the Martial Arts Studio and at school. She is more focused, more energetic and not a couch potato. She participates in as much as she can and is willing to help others when they are having problems with their forms. Peak Performance Martial Arts has brought Maddie out of her shell that traditional schools could not do.

When we enrolled Detrick in Peak Performance Martial Arts Karate four years ago, we had no specific expectations, We found a place where Detrick has a sense of belonging and children show respect to each other as well as adults. Detrick is small for his age, but he fears nothing and this is due to his association with Peak Performance Martial Arts. We are now preparing for Detrick's upcoming black belt test, an accomplishment we never really envisioned when he began martial arts. As the day of the test approaches, Detrick's excitement grows. As parents, we can't help but feel a sense of pride in his sense of self confidence and determination to succeed in this area. We appreciate the personal attention Detrick has received in his training we have never doubted the instructors" personal concern for Detrick's well-being and their interest in seeing him accomplish each goal he sets for himself.

My son Alex has transformed since join your program. His self-confidence, self-esteem, and internal motivation are at the highest I have ever seen. He feels safe and comfortable at the Karate studio and looks forward to attending the next class. He practices his forms and moves each and everyday. I felt like registering him for karate was the best decision I could have made for him. He is an impressionable adolescent and needs a positive male role model in his life. Thank you for everything you are providing for my son. This is exactly what he needed, when he needed it!

My oldest son is 9 years old and has ADHD. When we signed my son up for Karate we were looking for help. He needed a place to go after school that was safe and offered the discipline that a "day care" could not provide, and we found it. He started at Peak Performance Martial Arts in September of 2000, the same year he started Kindergarten, having been kicked out of two day cares prior to Kindergarten. Immediately after starting at Peak Performance Martial Arts he started saying things like "yes sir" and "thank you" opposed to the fits we were so tired of. He would even say "thank you" when being punished for something he had done wrong, granted I thought this was him being sarcastic. But he wasn't, they taught him responsibility for his actions. To hear an instructor say, "When he is on the blue (the work out mats) he's mine" and know he means it not like the child is his student but his very own kid is truly something special. Not only did they teach him self responsibility, self worth and respect for everyone and thing around him, but they taught him to set goals and have helped provide him the tools to obtain them. So I suppose the question I would ask any parent considering PPMA for their kids is "What is your child's respect and confidence worth to you?" To me that answer is simple; my baby started this year, his Kindergarten year. Peak Performance Martial Arts is more than just Martial Arts, Summer Camp or After School it is a family.
