My kids have been attending class here for two years now. I love seeing the growth in confidence and their physical ability. The senseis are top-notch and give a lot of one-on-one attention to the students. I would 100% recommend trying it!
I have been with Apex and Sensei Butch for over 20 years. From the moment I began until today I have loved the Martial Arts education I have received. It is thorough, meaningful, and thoughtful. This school is a place that works the mind, body, spirit and the community of the students is built on teamwork, no judgement, and appreciation for the skills, the ingrained discipline, and dedication of the parents, instructors and students. Sensei Terry Heise
I returned to Apex Martial Arts after a more than 20 year hiatus. I found the same dedicated lead instructor (Shihan Butch McGlaughlin) and more! The students there are welcoming and eager to learn, which helps everyone get better. I have to say, though, one of the true benefits of the school is the impressive group of black belt instructors (sensei's) that Butch has trained and mentored. They are so open, so welcoming, and so committed to teaching each individual right at the level they are. They insist on improving, but it is done from a sincere desire for each student to be their best. Patience is a key component in the process. If you are looking to give martial arts a try, you would do well to swing by and check out Apex Martial Arts. Very practical, very welcoming, and committed to helping you reach your goals.
An excellent place for true karate. Both youth and adults. They have an instructor to fit your learning style. You’re never too young or too old to start. Karate is not just an art but also a discipline. It teaches efficient body mechanics, respect for your elders, self sacrifice for the greater good, and of course self defense (which is only ever used as a last resort, when absolutely necessary). Classes are Tuesdays and Saturdays. Please give them a try!
My son and I are pretty new to karate and are grateful we have APEX so close! I knew I wanted to train in an Okinawan style (since I think its more fun, dynamic, and realistic for self defense). Every class and interaction has consistently been exemplary. APEX is also much more affordable and offers a large number of classes for the monthly price. (I shopped a lot). I'm continually impressed with professionalism, organization, and thoroughness of training we get (especially as a new student) to understand and hone the basics. TL/DR: 4-5 classes a week and about $60/month. Fantastic training (one on one at first). Fun style of karate. Professional teachers.
My son was in 4th grade and being bullied. As a parent, I felt helpless when my son came home with a swollen face. He was afraid to go back to school and I felt horrible sending him back to school.knowing the school did NOTHING! A few days later I enrolled him in Apex Martial Arts. Within a couple weeks my son learned self defense moves to protect himself. I am forever grateful to the teaching staff for helping us. . 4 years later we still attend and my son has increased confidence, character and more. Parents if your child has issues with bullies, sign up NOW and you will not regret !!!
I've been going to Apex for a total of about 5 years, first during high school and then when I moved back here after college. It always feels like a big family, focused on all becoming the strongest versions of ourselves. I especially love the confidence I've gained since starting.
I've been a student at Apex for several years and my daughter studied here for a time as well. I can't recommend Sensei Butch Mclaughlin, the other black belt teachers and the dojo highly enough. The teacher to student ratio is low which means all students get a lot of personal attention. The curriculum is varied with elements of modern self-defense training along with a traditional approach to Okinawan Karate. It's a great fun, family-oriented environment where new and experienced students are made welcome. If you are thinking about the martial arts or have trained in the past come check us out!
Great place and great people to learn from. Very personal and the communication is consistent.
My daughter has taken Karate here for years! We have been so impressed with the combination of discipline and compassion. Our daughter loves it and we can’t wait to start our son!
