Best Dojo Restaurant Sterling Heights Near Me

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.

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!
