My son is enjoying the Lil Dragons class. It's age appropriate and a great mix of fun with actual skill. I like that each class has a set lesson (i.e. balance, team work, discipline, memory, etc) and there's even an informative paper that goes home. My son loves it because he gets a sticker for his belt and a badge for his uniform. There's a clear format for the class and I like how easy it is for kids to keep track of working towards goals (every 12 classes/sticker, you move up in belt rank).
I recommend this program to everyone who asks (and some who don't!).

My son Benny has been attending the Little Dragon Class for more than a year and he is already a Brown Belt! We can not be happier and prouder of him and also so so grateful of the great team at Marina Martial Arts for such wonderful experience. The classes are so fun and engaging and the added value in regards of each week life value like teamwork, discipline, focus, respect, etc. makes this activity a must. The school it perfectly organized and very very profesional. During Covid the Jones Family, the owners, went above and beyond with all measures to keep the kids safe. My son has 7 extracurricular

I love this studio. My family have been training here for over 3 years! I needed a place to get in shape that was goal oriented and motivating (I hate the gym!) and found it! My son (age 9) is working on his black belt in the Junior program and my youngest (6) did the Lil Dragons program when he was 4 and I highly recommend it for little kids!!

This school is phenomenal! The teachers are firm with the children but are incredible and the kids absolutely love them! Their courses are well thought out and structured in a way to get children, of all ages, excited for doing martial arts. My son has been coming here since age 4 (he is now 8) and I cannot recommend them enough!

Marina Martial Arts is a fabulous environment for our children to grow and find inner discipline. My son is six and he has grown so much just in the passed few months of training here. The staff are dedicated and create a warm fun environment while still teaching the art of karate. This is the greatest place for our children to learn inner discipline and strength- while having fun all along the way. I highly recommend Marina Martial Arts for all ages and levels.

We have been attending classes at Marina Martial Arts for over two years. My oldest started in the Little Dragons class and has now moved up to the next level. My youngest has just begun the little dragons class and is loving it. Both kids have gained many skills and learned valuable life lessons in these classes. Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones and Mr. Dyer are extremely patient, supportive, encouraging and experts at what they do. You will love it here, just has much as my family loves it.

I love Marina Martial Arts. My whole family (we are ages 4-37) comes here for tae Kwon do and kickboxing and I recommend it to anyone looking for martial arts training or a great kickboxing fitness class.
The whole staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I love that it is a small family-owned and operated business. You can tell they definitely care about all of their students and they are a big contributor to the community and community events.

I highly recommend Marina Martial Arts. Our family found Marina Martial Arts in 1999 when our son decided that he wanted to take karate classes. Since that time, our younger son joined the club and both my wife and I joined the adults classes. Jake, Sam and I are all Black Belts and Nancy is a Red Belt. It is great to have an activity that are entire family can share.
Before joining Marina Martial Arts we interviewed many schools. We found Marina Martial Arts appealing because the school is focused on creating a lifetime sport and developing good habits. Baseball and football are fine for children
