Customers’ Reviews
Our son, three years ago, was extremely shy and was being bullied. We started at Alpha to help him build self-confidence and now he has so much more. Self-confidence, drive, determination, respect and has become a leader to others. We credit Alpha Martial Arts, especially Sensei Wax, for this incredible growth in our son.
World-class instructors that really know how to work with kids as young as 3. Great program. Many classes to choose from. Under his teaching and guidance, my 5 and 7 year old has been able to do amazing things on and off the mat.
This place is amazing for kiddos and Sensei Wax works diligently with the kids to teach them in a way that I've never seen before. He goes out of his way to work with them individually even when there's a larger group. We drive very far to attend classes because it's the best place around!
My two youngest kids attend Alpha. My family has been beyond impresed with not only Sensei Wax and all the other instructors, but the school as a whole. It has an amazing family atmosphere, but most importantly, I know my kids are receiving some of the best skills to be used in karate, school, and at home.
Alpha is wonderful! Sensei Wax has done so much to help my son with goal setting, motivation, self discipline, and respect. My son really enjoys his classes and Sensei Wax's fun and enthusiastic style of teaching! He has gained a lot of self confidence through this Taekwondo program and I am grateful!
All three of my kids have gone all the way from white belt to black belt with Sensei Wax. I cannot imagine a better teacher, mentor and advocate for my children...and yours!
