What Members have to say.

As an early childhood teacher, I absolutely recommend this place for kids. Classes are taught with such patience and consideration for the individual learner, while emphasizing compassion and respect. There is a wonderful balance of physical, emotional, social and practical skills taught, which kids NEED. Adult classes are taught in the same style. Very supportive, not intimidating.

You won’t find a more dedicated martial arts school than Classical Martial Arts, where students not only learn how to defend themselves, but how to grow and take control of every aspect of their lives through moral and philosophical discipline

My kids love learning karate here. Sensei Gaddis is wonderful with the kids — warm, nurturing, motivational, funny, fun, safety-conscious & sincerely dedicated to the martial arts. As a parent I also appreciate that 1) my kids are learning self defense techniques in addition to strengthening their bodies and minds (learning to stay focused, goal orientated, disciplined) 2) the class sizes are relatively small, ensuring each child gets plenty of attention/instruction and 3) unlike other martial arts schools in the area, this school does not charge extra fees for belt testing. I highly recommend this school!!

Sensei Gaddis and Sempai Gaddis were welcoming and made me feel comfortable when I first started training. I earned my black belt 4 years ago and I continue to train today! Classical Martial Arts is where you want to be!
