  My child loves coming to Tristar. Every instructor greets your child by name and greets the parents as well. My son has grown in confidence in just 4 months and is taking on new challenges. Sensi Barnes rocks as an instructor and makes learning the skills fun and engaging.

  I have too many positive things to say about Tristar Martial Arts to be able to write a smooth and cohesive paragraph. Instead, enjoy my praise in bullet-format: * The instructors are knowledgeable yet humble. They hold students to a high standard when learning terminology and demonstrating techniques, but are patient and constructive in their feedback to students. * The instructors have also perfected a balance of decorum and light-heartedness. Dojo protocols WILL be observed (responding to instructions with a loud "yes, sir", bowing on and off the mats, thanking your training partner, etc), and jokes WILL be told (always in good taste, and always in the interest of keeping students engaged). * "Karate" is the subject matter being taught, but "self-improvement" is the lesson being learned. Your student will learn to control both body and mind, and they will learn to respect themselves and others. * Situational awareness is also a major focus of the training. Knowing how to avoid conflict, or how to de-escalate a confrontation, is given just as much attention as the techniques themselves. * The facility is clean, welcoming, and well-suited for the many activities and events that the instructors host throughout the year (my personal favorite being the annual Zombie Nerf Wars). * Tristar also offers training seminars for parents and siblings, or finds other ways to get the families involved. My wife and I frequently attend these sessions, and have learned a lot. My family has been training at Tristar for over 6 years, and we are better people for it.

  My daughter has confidence issues as well as focus issues. She Started out in the trial run and during the First two classes she was so scared she would barely move. She’s Constantly gotten braver and wants to continue after the trial. All the instructors are very friendly and good with kids. The way they explain things is great.

  My daughter has been at Tristar for nearly 8 years. In that time she has learned focus, respect and how to standup for herself and others. She is brave and strong thanks in part to Tristar and their wonderful teachers.

  Our son absolutely loves his martial arts class at Tristar! He adores his instructors, (especially Sensei Alfred), and he always looks forward to going. While taking martial arts classes is not cheap, Tristar does offer many great introductory deals where you pay a discounted price for about 6 weeks and you get a free uniform (pants, shirt, and white belt). Most class levels have 4 classes a week to choose from, and you typically go to 2 classes a week. If you or your child are interested in trying out a martial arts class, I highly recommend signing up for one of their discounted introductory courses!
