My nephews have been coming to this center for a while now and i have had no issues with them. My oldest nephew would do tournaments and Master Wayne made sure to be at every single one that he could possibly attend in support of not only my nephew but any of his other students participating in these tournaments as well. It got to a point that i offered my time and money to become a coach for these tournaments, mostly for my Nephew, but also offered for the rest of the tournament team from this martial arts center. The staff and community made within this center is very respectable, understanding, and kind with anything going on before, during, or after class. Even with the current Covid-19 situation, Master Wayne and anyone else, whether they volunteer, or work there, have been very respectful and understanding of the choices the parents and children make and do their best to assist and help any student in need even when it comes to issues outside of the class. I see many students with different disabilities and from volunteering and getting to know many, i know that each student is treated with the same understanding and fairness.

My family needed a way to get exercise during the pandemic and the Family Martial Arts Center was the answer. Master Wayne provided live zoom classes that were much fun and also great exercise. Patient with the children, and fun for the adults too. He always has you smiling. The dojo is very nice looking as well. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a fun Martial Arts facility or as an after school program for your kids.
