Best Aikido Club Sterling Heights Near Me

Shrey Bhatt: This is truly a great place for all ages! I am a third degree black belt at this dojang(school) and I have been doing Taekwondo here since I was in first grade, and I definitely recommend it for anyone. It is a great mixture of exercise, stretching, and a awesome martial arts school. Master Sweet is a fabulous teacher and teaches excellently. Along with Taekwondo, we also have many different styles of martial arts such as: Aikido, Tai Chi, Iaido, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and much more! Everyone is very kind and caring and always available to help. Overall, I believe everyone should try at least one of these martial arts and Master Sweet has taught me so much and I could have never asked for a better instructor.

Vijay Baskaran: A true martial arts dojang (school)! Our family of 5 practicing here for a several years. Master Sweet is a sage and a saint and true to his name. This dojang may not display a fancy martial arts tools and gizmos, but it has the fundamentals (master and mindset) to turn a good student into a life long practitioner of martial arts. This dojang instills discipline, respect and confidence as a life long pursuit. Come visit us! You will fall in love with martial arts!

Abi Abi: This is THE BEST Martial Arts 🥋🥋 place you can ever find in Michigan my boys go here for years Master Sweet is very patient and professional same goes for Master Kayser this place is always clean and well kept there’s always water and coffee available there is also a small play place with toys for little kids

maria john paul Dominic: Good and relatively professional... Little expensive...

Paul AbouSouan: This place is fantastic. Master sweet is great at what he does. He has great passion for the art. He takes this very serious, yet at the same time he still keeps it fun. He has a lot of patience for the beginners and is tentative to making sure they don’t feel out of place. He also makes sure that the beginner is learning the proper form. This is more than just learning how to kick and punch. This also teaches discipline, gives confidence, respect, do good in school, and how to behave outside. I strongly recommend. This is great for all ages.

Retro Christmas Chic: Definitely the best martial arts school I've ever trained at. Instructors are extremely educated, professional, helpful, and kind. The building is clean and well-kept. The environment is positive and encouraging. By far, the best.

Dana Lindstrom: College of Martial Arts is not just a place for people to learn self defense, they treat everyone like family. My child has been on her way to black belt excellence for two and a half years now, inspired since day one. Sensei, Senpai, and all of their black belt instructors are the greatest role models a kid could have. The structure of their classes and curriculum are on point!At only 8 years old in her first ever competition, she won a 1st place trophy because of all that she learned here. They built her up with confidence and integrity and I am proud of how hard she works on everything.This is what she looks forward to most in life and she wants to teach karate in the future too. My 10 year old is more mature then most 20 year olds and it doesn't matter the age, they work very well with everyone!The dojo is very clean, when I have a question they're easy to get ahold of, and they have special events too.If you want your kid to grow up to be a great person, don't hesitate! This was the best decision we've ever made.

Seth Bliss: Highly recommended! Extremely friendly staff, knowledgeable instructors, encouraging students, well balanced and clean. My family has a great place to grow and build important life skills here. I will continue to support this business and participate as a parent, to watch my family grow confidence, balance and make friends in a healthy environment.

Naida Causevic: I started this school right before going to a new Highschool. I always struggled with self confidence and was bullied throughout elementary and middle school. Starting my martial arts journey in 2017 was the best decision that I made. I can't even express how amazing Sensei and senpai are. They helped me grow in more ways than they can imagine. I could talk about karate for hours and my friends can never hear the end of my karate stories. At the college of martial I discovered who I was and I am becoming the best version of myself. I continuously learn more about myself and develop my character everyday. They aren't just my Sensei and senpai, they are like family. I love all the students and families that make this facility come together! 3 here are a few pictures (of many) that I cherish.

OG Beards: College of Martial Arts is a great school. My wife, two boys, and I all train together. Sensei Burtney is a great teacher with amazing skill and many years of experience. He and the staff are all very friendly, helpful, and encouraging. They encourage growth both in Karate and life as well. We look forward to every class.The classes are filled with friendly students who encourage and help each other improve.If you're looking for a school to learn Karate, get fit, and improve your overall health, College of Martial Arts is where you want to be.

Serafina Ventimiglia: This dojo deserves 10 stars! We absolutely love it here. We have watched our daughter blossom and grow so much here. She now has more confidence, strength, determination, awareness, and spirit! The teachers and staff are all very skilled, knowledgeable, and always very welcoming. I would also recommend this dojo to anyone of any age. It’s never too late!

Civan Miya: Good and friendly teacher

melissa leggett: Karate started as something for my 5-year-old son to do and remain active. My dad was walking by the Dojo and asked if he could sign my son up. I told him OK, thinking it would be a couple month thing and no big deal. Fast forward to 7 years later and I can honestly say that saying yes to signing him up was the best decision I have ever made as a mother.Karate has taught my son about Confidence, Respect, Discipline, Leadership and Relationships:Confidence:Sensei and Senpai have become role models and family to my son. He is always wanting to make them proud and would be devastated if he ever disappointed them. They have made him confident and comfortable talking to adults and having conversations that most 12-year-old boys would find difficult to have.The relationships that my son has built throughout his karate journey has been wonderful to watch. When he first began, he was just a shy little boy that would not talk to anyone, then he began friendships with a few of the other boys in the class, when he became a brown belt he developed friendships where he began talking to other people outside of the Dojo. When my son became a Junior Black Belt is when I noticed the most change. The friendships became like a family relationship. He would talk to multiple classmates outside of the Dojo, they would laugh and talk in a group chat amongst 4 or 5 of them. He also developed relationships with the black belts that are older than him who have watched him grow because when he first started, they were where he is now. The staff that Sensei and Senpai have around them is just as incredible as they are. My son has multiple friends from karate that he talks to outside of the Dojo and they range in age from 11-23. I love that he has such a variety of friends as each one has something to teach him as well. You never want anything bad to happen, but I can honestly say that I know if anything were to ever happen, he would have an amazing support system from his COMA family behind him to help him through anything that life throws at him.His love for Karate is greatly in part because of Sensei and Senpai. I encourage any parent to enroll their child in The College of Martial Arts, because I know it was the best choice I ever made, and I would make the same choice one thousand times over again.There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Sensei, Senpai and the College of Martial Arts family for everything that they have given/done for my son. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and I am grateful that the College of Martial Arts is part of my village.

Mike D: Highly Recommended College of Martial Arts.Sensei, Sempai and ALL staff are a joy to be around.As soon as you walk in to the dojo you are greeted with smiles and a positive atmosphere that puts a smile on your face. You have that feeling of wanting to be there and part of this organization.

Charise: I highly recommend the College of Martial Arts to kids and adults! My son attended this Dojo for 5+ years, and I absolutely love our experience there. The staff is fantastic and cares about the kids perfecting their craft! They have taught my son confidence, discipline, and self-defense. I hate that we had to end our training here, but we had to relocate!

Max Garbarino: Excellent school

James Sites: Great staff and great experiences for my kids

Brian Cobb: Outstanding place

PG: Our 6yo has been attending class here for approximately 3 months and we couldn't be happier. To say Sensei, Senpai and the teachers are great with the kids would be the understatement of the year. And that doesn't mean they are easy on them. They don't let them goof off (too much, lol) and they take it serious. They really do want them to Learn. But they make it fun for them too! Highly recommend COMA to anyone

PnA S: Only took 2 classes with our 5 yo to convince us THIS is THE place she belongs. Sensei and Senpai along with the rest of the staff are fantastic with the kids. They make the class fun for them while teaching the fundamentals . The best part for us is that it is not only a foundation for Karate, but also self discipline, respect, and manners. We are new here, but are very excited to see the progress our daughter is guaranteed to make.

Rick Pickard: Great family run dojo with impeccable instructors. Highly recommended.

Don Robertson: Super shady sales tactics, wouldnt give me any price info until they tried forcing me to sign a contract which they barely even let me read. I didn't appreciate the sign now or it will cost you 400 more dollars tomorrow. Disappointed!

Mark Sapian: Very clean and professional! No wonder everyone else gave this a 5 Star review.

Brenda Meller / Meller Marketing: Our son has been going to College of Martial Arts for several years. This is an excellent karate school. The instructors are awesome teachers. Not only are they teaching the art of karate, but they also instill in the kids teachings about respect, relationships, appreciating others, and how to interact with other kids and adults. In addition, the COMA is a community. We have gotten to know other families throughout the years. Five stars. If there were ten I'd give them 10 stars!

Emilia Szerenos: One of the best Dojo’s I have seen in a long time!There is a feeling of cleanliness when you walk in, showing that the owners really care about hygiene (I think that’s a quality some studios lack). The instructors are kind and friendly, and really aim to make the children’s time at the Dojo fun and enjoyable. They place a GREAT focus on character growth, such as respect, gratitude and discipline, in addition to the self defense training. The College of Martial Arts is like a second school.

Lori Stirling: No better place to train and grow both in martial arts and in life. The staff is amazing with my children and the courtesy and respect they have learned has helped them in every aspect of their lives!

Kim Downey: Great place for kids to learn respect, kindness and self defense! 👏

ChyVonne Conerly: Love them! Master Jabari is so patient with each child and makes fun for them to learn. My grandson loves him!

Ervin Kalaj: Master Jabari is an incredible instructor and motivator for the kids. The classes are affordable and the kids love the training programs.It always feels like family at JMAA.

Dany Daniel: One of the best karate and martial art academy I've ever since master Jabari gets to the point and doesn't waste any time, will recommend it to all parents

Shantá Herczeg: ***SUPER FANTASTIC*** training for Karate(ALL AGES), Cardio kick-boxing, Women's self-defense and protective defense. What a wonderful family friendly atmosphere! All are welcomed with open arms. I love being part of Team Jabari - just kickin it!

Apryl Caldwell: My son LOVES Jabari Martial Art Academy!!!

ciara detzler: We love this karate studio, the instructors are very nice and good with the kids. It's a very clean facility with knowledgeable people, we highly recommend premier martial arts.

Russ H.: Instill self confidence, develope learning skills, teaching self defense and respect.

Howard Hooper: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI love attending martial arts class here because of the atmosphere and environment that they promote!

Bryce Busacca: The facility is brand new and clean, they are following proper covid-19 protocols and sanitizing everything after each use. Most importantly, I have never been to any kind of dojo before and it is very similar to the first time going to a gym as a beginner. It is very intimidating and I was hesitant and unsure of myself. The instructor (Montel) is very easy going, patient and leads the lessons with laughs and positivity. The other manager that runs the operation (Joe) is easy to communicate with and will make sure that things work and will find times that will fit your schedule. Another great point is that everybody in this building is there to better themselves and achieve that common goal, and it's very easy to meet new people here and make friend's. They are dedicated at what they do and strive to make each member feel welcomed and to teach them not only martial arts, but to improve themselves as an individual. I would recommend this business to all of my peers!

ShaKeira Alexander: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Roseanna Mendez: Positive:Communication,ProfessionalismThey are great with the kids! The class helps build the confidence and structure kids need. Montel is especially great with the smaller kids in the class. I strongly suggest enrolling your kids. Classes are totally worth it!

Heather Blaisdell: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThe guys at Premier are awesome!!! They are amazing with my daughter. They are really patient and are working hard to get her out of her shell.
