Core MMA has been an incredible place for both me and my family. I train Muay Thai here, and the coaching, atmosphere, and overall training experience are top notch. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and push you to grow both in skill and confidence. What really sets Core MMA apart is how family-friendly it is. Both of my kids are in the children’s class, and they absolutely love it. The coaches do an amazing job of making the classes fun while still teaching discipline, respect, and solid technique. I can already see their confidence and focus improving. Whether you’re looking to train seriously, get in shape, or just want a positive environment for your kids to learn martial arts, Core MMA is the place to be. Highly recommend!

We love Core Martial Arts!!! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive!! It can be intimidating starting martial arts but Core is welcoming and meets students where they are at. We also liked that they encourage overall health, good habits, and hard work. And kids and adults learn real world skills. My child is learning to actually defend himself, not just go through movements. Sparring is his favorite part!! I'm grateful he's found a place that encourages him, constantly teaching him new things and encouraging him to be better.

If you're looking for real life self defense, you're in the right place at Core. Mr. Scott and Mrs. Carrie are very knowledgeable in the arts they are ranked and teach. This is not your typical martial arts school. You have ample opportunity to get one on one instruction when you're just not quite understanding a technique. They make sure you understand and can do it correctly. They work awesome with children. If you want to be there and succeed they will make sure you do just that. Along with Mr. Scott and Mrs. Carrie there are plenty of others who help instruct classes that are also well versed, knowledgeable, and capable of helping. This is a place my family and I call home.

I’m a fighter here. We have great camaraderie. We train hard together and the training staff is very good at helping each person improve their martial arts skills. The gym is very clean and the equipment gets the job done

My son has been studying with Core for 2+ years now. Not only is he learning martial arts, but they do a great job with teaching discipline, leadership and encouraging the kids to do things they might not otherwise feel comfortable doing. The whole crew at Core is friendly and easy to work with, and that is important given our variable schedule. Highly recommend Core if you or your kids desire this kind of growth opportunity.

My son is a student here and we just love them! What a difference it has made in our lives. Our son has become more confident in his abilities to defend himself as well as learning to respect the art. The staff is amazing and are always supportive to the students. Each of them are willing to go above and beyond to help during class time or even if its something that they may be able to help with on a more personal level. Many thanks and blessings to them.

I began taking martial arts here in July 2013 at the age of 38. Having never set foot in a dojo before, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was mainly interested in pursuing it because my youngest daughter wanted to try it and I didn't want her to feel like she was doing it all on her own. I must say that I have been extremely impressed and do not feel intimidated at all. There are other older adults in the class as well that are higher and lower ranked than myself. Do not let age be a deterrent from pursuing martial arts. We are all like family...whether an adult, teenage, or kid - we are all equal in the dojo as we are all students. It is great exercise and the knowledge taught by all of the sensei's is extremely valuable and presented in a Christian atmosphere. Go Core!!!

i have been taking martial arts here for over a year now and i love it, we are like a huge family and respect each other. when theres a personal problem and you need to talk about it they Senseis and Soke gives great advice on how to deal with it. the thing i love about CMAA is the fact that they make you work for your belts instead of handing them out. but over all this is THE place to take Martial Arts.

My children have taken martial arts ever since they were 6 and 8 years old from these instructors. Both have obtained their black belts and enjoy their time there. The instructors dedicate their time to teach students and to help them achieve their goal to become a black belt. This school is very affordable and family oriented. I would highly recommend this martial arts school.
