We have only been taking our children there for about a month now, and really think they do a great job educating and training. Our son has shown improvement in his daly life with respect and is excited for his two classes a week. We hope the same for our daughter, who will start next week. We plan to continue our involvement as our children get older and progress through the training.
With respect to COVID-19 mitigation, all students are required to wear masks and family and guests that watch are encouraged to as well. The environment feels very safe and looks very clean.

Exceptional instructors, very positive and supportive atmosphere. Amazing classes and programs. Exceptional implementation of all safety protocols. I am so happy I joined GMA. If you are looking to engage your mind and body in an elevated way I would highly recommend Gabriele's Martial Arts. My only regret is not joining sooner!

Gabrieles Martial Arts studio has been a wonderful experience for our family. My 6 year old son started in September and has been having a lot of fun! He's showing me with excitement all the things he's learning. The environment is very family focused, Renshi Jason & Sensei Sheryle are great instructors and take the time to help each student work on their form. It's not just about the Martial Arts either, they have time to share with the students about respect for themselves and others, kindness, and self discipline. I would highly recommend this place!

Best around by far! I have been taking kickboxing there for 10 years and still love it to this day. The instructors are amazing and the classes are top notch! My daughter takes karate there and it's the perfect balance of discipline & fitness. Great programs for all ages. Highly recommend.

My family couldn't be happier with Gabrieles Martial Arts! I was searching for an activity for my twin son and daughter back in 2017, and my son expressed interest in karate. After just a few months, I started attending with them and it's been a great shared activity for us. I've taken karate on and off throughout my life, and Gabrieles is by far the most professional school I've attended. The owner and operator puts a lot of thought and care into creating the best possible curriculum for the students, and he and his entire staff work just as hard to create a welcome and supportive environment

Signed up all 3 kids. The lessons they learn are not just about karate, but about life. Nothing is more enjoyable than watching my 5 year old randomly get off the couch and start doing jumping Jack's. Her counts them as 1 ma'am, 2 ma'am, etc...
The instructors are great, and the times are flexible; which is a great combination.
Normally if you have an activity for a kid, it is every set days at set times. Here you can go any of the scheduled times. So if you can't make it Monday then go Tuesday if there is a snow day on Tuesday then go Friday. Because of it's flexibility it is easy to fit in

The staff and instructors of Gabrieles Martial Arts have had a great influence on my son. He enjoys the class and looks forward to every lesson. Even when he was three and would sometimes be difficult or get upset during class, the staff would handle it masterfully. His class is full of a diverse group of children, each with their own challenges and personalities, and at no point during any lesson do I see them out of control. All of them seem genuinely excited to be there and take great joy in learning and practicing karate. I highly recommend Gabrieles to anyone curious about getting their children

My son and I have been taking jujitsu classes from Gabriel’s Martial Arts for a year and a half, and we have only good things to say about the experience. The dojo (especially the renovated space) is very nice. The instruction is very good. And our training partners are always respectful of each other’s skill level. We also enjoy the seminars and special guests who teach the classes from time to time. All in all, we highly recommend Gabriel’s Martial Arts!

Gabrieles Martial Arts (GMA) is hands down the best Academy in the area for training Jujitsu, Karate and Kickboxing. I trained Tae Kwon Do, and fought competitively, as a teenager and I knew exactly what I was looking for in the summer of 2012 when I found GMA. I was searching for an Academy where my children and I could study the martial arts as an art form, complete with the culture and respect that comes with a true martial art, as well as learning solid, applicable self-defense. I found that in GMA.
There is no other Academy in the area where you can learn from a Jujitsu Black Belt who was
