Amazing to say the least! My son has been attending for three years now. He’s currently in the Black Belt Training Class. The instructors are supportive in class and outside the class which helps at home. I’m
happy he is apart of it.

I wanted my son to be disciplined and i was looking for a sport to release all his energy. I found 1st Class Martial Arts and all the instructors are so nice, they teach them discipline to do their best, they guide them to go to the next level. If there are tournaments, they make them strive for success and to have fun. The kids and instructors cannot do it alone, they need their parents to support them because we’re a team.
