The kids learn so much here not only the physical aspect of martial arts but also so many life skills! Focus, listening, respect, and goal setting are constant class themes. It’s also fun when Chuck Norris chimes in from time to time. Master Jesse is one of the best in the country and I’d recommend Total Martial Arts to anyone!

Total Martial Arts is the best place for kids to grow in confidence and discipline. We have been bringing our kids here for 7 years and I can absolutely say that Master Jesse is still the best part of their weeks!

I have been bringing my 6 year-old son to iKarate for a year now. Master Jesse is so great with the kids, and my son loves coming. It is extremely easy to attend multiple classes each week, as 4 are offered every week. Master Jesse is truly a master of his craft and he knows how to instruct children of all ages. The growth I have witnessed in my son is significant, and I know Master Jesse is partly responsible for it. I would recommend this studio to everybody. It is the best one in the area hands down. There are plenty of trophies to prove it...

My six-year old twins love Master Jesse and his class. Wasn't sure how they'd take to it, but Master Jesse makes it fun and is very good with the children. Other than how much my children love the class (they would go everyday if they could), the other pleasant surprise is how much they've learned in such a short time. Another incredible benefit is the flexible schedule - there are multiple days and times each week to choose from and with a busy household where both parents work, this is definitely appreciated. Without a doubt, I'd recommend iKarate for any age.

My two boys have been going to classes at iKarate for 18 months. The classes are designed for age and skill level. The nice part is that there is 1 monthly fee for each student. They can attend 1 or 12 times a month. In between belt testing, they receive stripes to acknowledge their progress - a great motivator. I began taking private lessons almost a year ago and recommend it for anyone that ever wanted to learn martial arts. A word about the instructor. Fantastic. Mister Jesse is great with the kids and great with the adults.
