Master Wayne is more than a teacher. He has created a family. He treats everyone like one of his own. He makes learning fun, he also teaches respect for each other, and hard work through his amazing leadership. My daughter Noelle learned so much in his class. She gained true confidence in herself, her ability to accomplish the impossible, and her own self worth and who she is. She looked forward to every class. She came out sweaty, tired, and with a smile on her face. Because Master Wayne teaches hard work, and how it pays off. Family Martial Arts was so hard to leave. We moved out of state and wish we could have taken all of them with us. We will stop by for a visit and Noelle would love to join class each time we're in town. They are like family.

I am delighted to share my experience with Family Martial Arts Center (FMAC) and the exceptional team led by Master Wayne. My sons have been part of FMAC for the majority of their lives, and I can confidently say it has been a tremendously positive influence on them.

Master Wayne, alongside his dedicated staff, including Miss Sue and Miss Bobby, exude professionalism, knowledge, and discipline in all aspects of their teaching. Master Wayne's approach not only focuses on martial arts skills but also instills values of discipline and honor in a nurturing environment.

One aspect that sets FMAC apart is their summer program, which offers an array of activities, including field trips almost daily. This program provides a fun and safe space for kids to socialize, have fun, while also emphasizing the importance of discipline and respect.

Overall, I wholeheartedly give FMAC a 5-star rating for their commitment to promoting fitness, physical and mental well-being, and fostering a supportive community for all students. My sons have benefited greatly from their time at FMAC, thanks to the guidance and care of Master Wayne and his team.
