Enthusiastic and VERY patient instructors. They are all very knowledgeable and GREAT teachers. I have 3 young girls who have gone through the trial membership they offer and ask every day if it's time to go back to Martial Arts Class. They've not only learned self defense, but more importantly they've learned to be more confident, to believe in themselves and to help others.
Sign up for the free class and complete the very reasonably priced trial period and you and your kids will fall in love!

I can not say enough good words about Grogan's Academy. My boys absolutely loved going today and the instructors are AMAZING. I think every parent worries about their children disrupting and being crazy, but they handled it perfectly and my boys were eager to listen. I definitely see us going here long-term! Since leaving all I hear is "Mom, I'm a tiger now!!"

We started taking our son to Grogan's Academy of Martial Arts when he was 4 years old, because he struggled focusing. Grogan's Academy of Martial Arts has done wonders for our son's attitude, focus and kindness that he shows others. Our son has now been attending for about 18 months and I would strongly encourage anyone that is looking to get into Karate, or looking for additional discipline, focus or respect for others to consider joining Grogan's Academy of Martial Arts - Their staff is amazing!

This is exactly what my kids needed. My kids aren't the most athletic. They have listlessly bounced from one sport to another, always feeling like they couldn't compete with the other kids who dedicate significant portions of their life to a select sport. Even at the YMCA, where emphasis is placed on participation rather than competition, they felt like spectators despite always trying their hardest. They have always been academically gifted not athletically.
Grogan's has been nothing short of a revelation.

I would highly recommend Grogan’s to anybody interested in martial arts, or to anybody that just wants a positive experience for their child. The environment is very friendly, with the instructors rooting on the kids in all things, even outside of martial arts. You can tell they really care about the kids, and they excel at teaching them how to be the best they can be. They teach them to be respectful and polite, but also to have confidence in themselves, to fight through adversity, and so much more. I can’t say enough about the positive experience my son has had there.

Our six year old son was interested in martial arts, and we thought it might help him better understand respect, and enhance his courage and discipline. Grogan's came highly recommended, so we tried out the Tiny Tigers class. We try to attend class a couple times a week. Our son loves it, it really is a highlight of his week. Master Grogan and his assistants are all terrific with the kids. Our son cannot wait to advance into the higher level classes. Grogan's is a great place for kids wanting to learn martial arts.

My son Zakkary just started going to Grogan's, and I have to say the atmosphere is very open and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I really like the way that they stress appreciation and respect for your peers and family in the class, this is such a rarity to find anymore. I am glad that Grogan's is showing my son that the values and respect we share at home, can and do happen in the outside world as well. My son absolutely loves the instructors and classmates. Even if you child is shy and hesitant at first, the environment is very welcoming and I am positive they will be joining in the fun

My son has been attending Grogan's Academy of Martial Arts for 3 years this month. We have seen so much growth in his maturity, manners, discipline and respect for himself and others since he has been attending. Sa Bom Nim Grogan is a wonderful person and instructor and does an incredible job with all the students, from the Tiny Tigers to the Adults. The studio is a family atmosphere and we have a wonderful time as parents socializing with other parents, along with watching the students learn. My son does martial arts at Grogan's all year along, along with playing other sports. With class options

My two sons have been attending Grogan's Academy for about 6 weeks now and they love it. My husband and I were very impressed after the first night and could not be happier. Rich is great with the students and the more experienced students that he has help in his classes are also wonderful with the students. I recommend to everyone I know looking for Martial Arts classes.
