As parents, we have high hopes and aspirations for our children. Yet, we also have concerns, maybe even fears, about the sort of challenges and temptations our children face while pursuing their goals and maximum potential. At PRO Martial Arts, our programs are designed to train our students to set healthy, appropriate, and productive goals. Our students are properly to succeed in school, at home and extracurricular activities. We provide families with more than just the valuable and timeless lessons inherent to martial arts training. We achieve results by focusing on three key areas: personal safety, character education, and health.

Business Review

"As a full time employee and a mother of two children, a 6 year old boy, and a daughter who is 17 years old, I found myself fighting a battle everyday that I was not winning.

One day I was alone in the car with my son and he said "mom, I want to do karate", I said OK....as weeks went on he kept mentioning it over and over again so that's when I spoke to my husband about him wanting to take karate.  About a week or so went by and my husband said there's a new place that just opened up called PRO Martial Arts.

I went in with my son Aiden and met with the director.  I mentioned what we were going through at home with his behavior, screaming, tantrums, hitting, etc. and how I was at the END of my rope!  We enrolled that afternoon....
As a mother you know what is the right fit for your child by using your mommy meter.  When Aiden started and we used the behavior work chart they gave us, my husband and I started seeing a difference at home that would eventually change our lives.

Aiden is a different child from where he was a year ago.  He focuses, helps out a lot at home, doesn't argue with his sister, he wants to please people, and he even sets goals for himself.

As an example to a change that I saw with his teachers, that brought all of us TO TEARS LITERALLY, was when he celebrated his birthday in school and it was his turn to pick a friend to help hand out his cupcakes.  We all thought that he would pick his best friend in class however we were ALL wrong.  He picked a boy that none of us would have guessed.  Later that day I asked Aiden, why did you pick that boy in class to be your helper?  He said, mommy if I did not pick him, he would NEVER have a turn to be a helper and I wanted him to have a turn because nobody else would have picked him.  That's when I took my son and gave him a huge hug and said I am SO proud of you!!

As a mother If I had just ignored my son and not enrolled him, I don't know how we could of worked through what we were going through.

PRO Martial Arts has changed my son at home and in school.  The instructors are INCREDIBLE and work with your child but also with the family as well.  I can not express how grateful I am for being part of such a caring and respectful place."

Sincerely,
Karen Maher
