I love seeing my son EARNING something!

★★★★★

“To my friends, I say “do it!” It’s super fun for the kiddos and rewarding for them (and the parents) to see them improve over time. It also develops respect for one another and the teachers and the skills themselves. I appreciate the kids having to earn their skill bars. There have been a few times that my son had to redo a skill test before being given his skill bar... which I like because it helps reinforce the idea that effort is required to learn skills. I also like the yes sir/ no ma’am thing.”

Positive & Encouraging Atmosphere

★★★★★

We love the emphasis on Respect

★★★★★

“We did a trial class at MAFF, and were incredibly impressed with Master Austin and the other Senseis. They speak to the children on a level they can understand, while always treating them with respect and patience. My boys love to punch and kick as much as the next kid, but what keeps us coming back is the emphasis on speaking to other people, treating peers with respect, being respectful at home and at school.”
