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.

Since my daughter joined the MWFMAC, she gained focus, self control and improved her self esteem. She is always looking forward to attend her class and excited to see other students and coaches. The instructors have an excellent skills and leadership. Highly recommended!

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.

I was nervous about starting martial arts as an adult as I’m not the most agile person. I’m glad that I’ve stuck with it and It’s mostly due to the welcoming atmosphere at The Family Martial Arts Center. I love the sense of camaraderie in that even if I make mistakes everyone is encouraging. Master Wayne is an amazing teacher and I always enjoy coming to class. It’s the highlight of my weekdays after work.

We love FMAC! The instructors and staff are super encouraging and genuinely care about the students, and the whole family. They not only work on the physical skills of martial arts, but also character development. Things are competitive but fun. They keep things simple which I like. My son feels safe with them, and feels empowered there. The staff definitely loves what they do, and put more care and concern into those kids than you typically see.

Best martial arts center around. You really are treated like family. Master Wayne is able to combine a fun, enthusiastic learning experience while maintaining a high standard of performance for his students. Our daughter had many opportunities to learn, compete, and eventually instruct others as she took her journey through 2nd decided black belt

Absolutely love this place. Started 2 1/2yrs ago, after a friend invited my little man, and we have been here since. My little guy liked Karate when he started and now he has a genuine love and appreciation for it and all its forms. It’s been amazing to see his discipline and commitment to it. Master Wayne and all the staff and other classmates are so amazing. They run a fantastic program that really keeps the kids and adults engaged. I really cannot say enough great things about this dojo. 100% recommend for anyone even remotely interested in starting their Black Belt journey.

I've been meaning to write this for a WHILE. My daughter has been at FMAC since she was four. She's now 8 and is halfway to black belt. She loves the classes and she is in the after school and summer programs. I'd like to share a story from early on...

I had enrolled my kiddo in the after school program (where they pick them up at school and take them back to the Family Martial Arts Center). Well, during the first week of kindergarten, I got a call from FMAC asking if my daughter was in school that day. I said yes. Well, she had not come out to the van with the rest of the kids at the end of the school day. The teachers manning the bus loop were trying to get Master Wayne to leave and he was saying, "No, I still have one more student." Long story short, he did not leave until they found my daughter. (Her teacher had not heard the announcement). This definitely put me at ease that my kid was in great hands.

This isn't a job for Master Wayne, you can tell he loves what he does. If you are looking for a great program for your kids, I can't recommend this school enough.

Master Wayne and FMAC is amazing. They work very well with children with Autism/ADHD. My son has improved a lot in his behavior at home and at school since we put him in Karate. I would recommend any other families to come join Master Wayne !!!

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.

Great instructors, awesome martial arts curriculum Master Wayne has over 600 certified students that have become black belts over the past 40+years he has attained the rank of 6th dan and is very knowledgeable in the art of tae Kwon do.

My grandchildren have been coming to Master Wayne for their after school program and have been more respective and well behaved. My youngest grandson has ADHD and struggles to pay attention due to this and still listens and pays attention during class and more at home too. Master Wayne has been very thorough in what he does and makes sure to make every child feel special during his classes that he also teaches himself. The entire class, and all staff, are very respectable in any situation and are very friendly. Very good and safe place to take your child even during this tragic time.

I’m new to the class and they will get you comfortable and welcome you. Working a little one on one to show you how to improve and do everything safe.

My son has been attending FMAC for about two years now. He goes to the after school program and also summer camp. He absolutely loves this facility. They teach the children respect and discipline in a very controlled and fun environment. Highly recommend it!!! As a parent I feel very comfortable leaving my child in the hands of these excellent professionals. They are very accommodating as well.

My son (Gub) is a student of Master Wayne's and I just could go on and on about what I love about this place.  The core values of this center are aligned very much with what Gub's father and I hope to see him possess as a son, student, and contributing member of society.  The summer camp was JAM PACKED with fun activities and outings, and this is the time that Gub's love for martial arts and FMAC was cultivated.  He asked us to join the afterschool program and even though there weren't enough students from his school at the time, they set up a table at his school's open house to get the needed number, making it possible for him to attend.  A thousand times THANK YOU for helping our Gub work towards reaching his full potential!

Michele Beauton

Best Martial Arts studio in the area. The staff is absolutely fantastic. They teach marital arts but they also teach the children discipline and other very important values. Love this place!
