The Martial Arts provide many benefits some that are obvious and some that at first glance are not apparent to many people. Students learn Discipline through the repetition of skills over and over to perfect their understanding and ability to accomplish the skill in a self-defense situation. We simple rules, but they are absolute.
Be on time, Be Respectful, Be Focused, Try your best. These simple rules help students develop self-discipline which pours over into everyday life. Respect is a corner stone of the Martial Arts. We have cultivated a community of Martial Arts students who all respect each other regardless of age or rank.

My son has practically grown up at The Edge. When I researched and reviewed a place for him to learn Karate, I decided on The Edge and have no regrets. I initially expected he would learn Karate and hopefully stick to it for a few years. What I did not expect was the discipline and respect engrained into my son's behavior and personality. Another reason I selected The Edge was the Brazilian jiu-jitsu option. Grand Master Thorn has substantially expanded his curriculum as the best in both Karate and BJJ. Because of Covid-19, I joined so I could be my son's rolling partner during quarantine. I wish

Our 5 and 7 year old started at Edge in August and since then it is something that they both look forward to on a daily basis. Our 7 year old has never taken to a sport, and we’ve always looked for new opportunities to keep him active. After the year we had I knew I had to try again and signed both kids up for the 2 week trial. Let me say that this is a great option for those looking for athletic activities and are new to martial arts!
My kids started their trial and fell in love with this sport! Along with the athletics of martial arts, Edge teaches their students about the importance of respect

So happy someone recommended this gym for my daughter. We are happy to drive out of the way to come here. My daughter has so much fun and yet is learning discipline and respect. Master Thorn is great with communicating through email and weekly video updates. You can see his passion to instill value into our children. Send your kids here!

Our 7-year old daughter has been at the Edge for almost a year now and has had a very positive experience. The instructors all know her by name, are very encouraging, while also pushing her to work hard. Her overall confidence level and attitude has improved greatly over the past year and we contribute a large amount of this to her consistent classes at the Edge.

When my young son expressed an interest in the martial arts I was thrilled because I have always wanted to learn as well. It was a quick search of local martial arts schools that lead to The Edge. It took no time at all to see the quality of the school as compared to any other I researched. I saw an emphasis on helping people of all ages excel under the unparalleled teaching of Grand Master Thorn and his staff. When we met him we knew we were in the right place. My son gravitated to him immediately and we both were warmly welcomed into the school as new students. As the website states, it is clear

Our son started at The Edge just before turning 4 and loves every session. He has not only learned martial arts but the importance of respect, self control and helping others. Great opportunity for your child to learn martial arts but also to learn important life skills in the process! Highly recommend.

I have two children currently enrolled in The Edge Martial Arts in Stillwater. My oldest started when she was 4 years and is 9 now and my youngest started just before he turned 4 and has been attending for a year now. My kids enjoy going 2-3 times a week. All the instructors are great with the students and want them to be successful students. Both of my kids were quiet and shy when they started, I believe The Edge helped them with their confidence to be more outgoing kids, learn respect towards adults and kids inside and outside of the classroom along with themselves and learned about discipline

As I sit in class and watch, listen, relax and enjoy.......I'm blown away by the character, talents and knowledge of you and the staff. All of the staff does an INCREDIBLE job of teaching and mentoring (not just karate moves either). I see that transfer to the students and how they respect and support each other. Thank you and the rest of the team for sharing yourselves with others (most especially my children). I'm grateful and proud to have my children involved with The Edge Martial Arts!

Master Thorn and his instructors bring a great approach to teaching that goes well beyond a quality Martial Arts education. The team teaches respect, timeliness and an over all focus on practicing right in everything you do. My sons play other sports as well and what they learn at the Edge transfers into not only sports but home and school as well. In addition they have fun while learning.
