Sensei Yaquinto is truly a fantastic role model to his students! My son just started attending Sensei’s Karate classes and it is a JOY to watch him learn and grow. The lessons my son is taught are not just ones of karate technique (which are lead with patience and structure) but he also learns about morals and being a humble, responsible respectful young man. The program Sensei has created is the best I have ever come across and I can’t rave enough about the multitude of benefits his students receive!
This is my son’s first time in karate and the sensei makes him feel welcomed, important and challenges him each class. They work well with the parents with multiple different packages for you to choose from. We were brought by another student who attends and the way they make karate fun, we knew our boy would enjoy himself. I also appreciate the rules that are upheld in class which helps teach discipline.
My two sons have been training karate last two years here. They adore it and can’t wait for the new class! Sensei and Senpai do an amazing job with children! Also, we as parents are very pleased because they teach them not only martial arts but also many pedagogical methods of how to focus children on what they do, they teach them to be patient, respectful and to build self confidence!
This place is for all praise! We all LOVE Elite Martial Arts!
If you’re looking for a martial arts (karate) school this is it. I started taking my son there – they are firm but fun and do a great job with the kids. I was so impressed I myself joined and I love it – now my son and I have something we can do together. This is the one…Amazing, amazing place!!!
My 6 year old son absolutely loves his time at Elite Martial Arts. Sensei Yaquinto is awesome with the kids! He creates a fun learning environment and keeps everyone engaged. I couldn’t be happier with the progress my son is making. He is already talking about working hard to obtain his black belt.
Elite Martial Arts is incredible. Three of my grandchildren, ages 4 through 6, have been attending and the improvement in their discipline and respect has been incredible. And the pace of learning karate in a fun and professional manner is very impressive. Sensei, Sempai, and the rest of the staff are very professional, courteous, and friendly and all have exceeded my expectations. I am so impressed that I, at the age of 67, decided to join this dojo to improve both my physical and mental health while learning the skills of karate, as well as become an example for my grandchildren. Thank you Elite Martial Arts for creating and building this great institution!
I’m so happy with our experience here! My boys love coming to class and are learning a lot! Its a great environment for kids with teachers that have lots of energy and are super fun and supportive!!
We love elite martial arts! Highly recommended!!
Sensei Yaquinto has the little dragons class full attention with his upbeat, fun atmosphere my son is always engaged. He has learned respect, safety, and positive peer encouragement (oh yea, and karate. . . Lol) I highly recommend this class for your little guy or girl! They love it and I can see such a difference from my son since joining!
Sensi, Sempi, and the rest of the staff of EMA are beyond amazing. My son absolutely loves attending each week and watching him learn and grow is so awesome. I can not recommend this dojo enough!
The lessons taught at EMA extend beyond the mats. The instructors encourage students to be the best version of themselves both on the mats and in their everyday lives. They meet students at their level and work move each student forward at their individual level. The entire staff is positive, encouraging and take the time to get to know their students and families personally. EMA has had such an impact on my son and I’m so grateful we joined the dojo!
My daughter is a proud member of elite martial arts. She enjoys sparring and black belt club so much. Recently she even told me she wants to work all the way to her black belt because Sensei is so much fun. Thank you Elite for giving her so much confidence and strength.
I started taking Karate here myself after I saw how great they were with my son and all the other kids. The training program is solid but the best part is the instructors – truly professional, skilled, funny, and always willing to help with anything. I couldn’t imagine being at any other dojo – this is the one!
