I just have to say that I am so happy my daughter started her karate journey at SMA, it’s a home where she feels there is great enthusiasm and support. Trinity is always encouraged to work hard to be stronger and better. Not only does she get the support from shihan the sensas and other instructors she is mentored by a student, Melissa, who is an incredible inspiration to her which in my heart is quite amazing. Come join this wonderful group of people we call family!!!

Great atmosphere - positive and encouraging - they keep me moving, even when I think I have to stop! You want to get a great workout while venting your frustrations? You need to take their cardio kickboxing class. It's awesome.

This place is great for teaching discipline, as well as a source of learning, exercise and FUN! I'm so glad my son is a part of Monstro Demo!

I started my son when he was 3 years old thinking he would love it. I was wrong. After about the first month he went from liking it to not doing anything nor listing. The staff was patient and would even do a one on one with him. Fast forward to two years later. He would run into the gym and be the loudest. I can not thank everybody at SMA for everything they have done. I will continue his karate but nothing will ever beat SMA or the staff. From my Son David and myself thank you for what you have shown him. If i can only tell parents that in the beginning it will be ruff, tears and yelling will come from your child. Dont give up. SMA didnt give up on my son nor should you. I will miss you all!!

I just want to thank everyone @ SMA for an amazing day yesterday at the battle. It's because of all the training and hard work put in, these kids were awesome...A special thanks to instructors/sensai Gabby & Tony who put so much time and effort into getting my Jo-Jo on his game, it certainly paid off. Thank you Tatiana for your time spent helping Joe. Much love and thanks to Shihan Jose/Jana DiCervo for guiding and pushing our kids when they are tired and/or just not as focused on certain days!!! xoxoxoxo Jo-Jo & Lisa xoxoxoxo

I just started attending their Krav Maga and kickboxing classes. The classes are challenging, the instructors are motivational, and it's a great place to get fit while learning self-defense.

Program & Pricing FAQs

My child isn't athletic. Can he/she still participate in martial arts?

Absolutely. Martial arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities develop them even more.

Are these martial arts classes fun?

Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.

What's a good age for a child to start martial arts?

Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.

Can martial arts cause injury?

Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because martial arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.

Do you have to be in good shape to take martial arts?

Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.

Is martial arts violent?

No! Because self-defense technique is taught in martial arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind martial arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
