Ripple Effect Martial Arts has been so wonderful for our son. As a parent I love the values they are teaching my son. The idea of having integrity and self control (among others) extend to the home and school classroom. Its wonderful!! The classes are fun and challenging, hes made friends and has become a more confident person. The instructors and staff are amazing! I am so glad we found Ripple Effect Martial Arts.

We have been blown away by our experience at Ripple Effect. My 5yo was so shy and sensitive that he had quit many other activities and sports, and he would barely come in the front door for his first class. Mr. Wagner and all of the amazing staff knew exactly how to encourage him and give him the confidence to participate in class, and now he can’t wait for each class. His self esteem has skyrocketed in all parts of his life, and his behavior in everything from school drop off to doing chores has improved. Highly recommend!

Our family loves Ripple Effect. Both our children (ages 4 and 6) are in the same class and the instructors adapt each class according to the needs of the kiddos while also appealing to older kids.Additional help and support is provided when needed, and is subtle yet supportive in a meaningful way. My kids look forward to class each week and martial arts is helping them feel more confident both mentally and physically.

Our son started with white belt classes 6 weeks ago and we are impressed with the encouraging guidance of the staff at Ripple Effect. Administration and instructors alike are welcoming, available for questions and dedicated to teaching the martial arts. Mr Wagoner has a special talent guiding his students with skill and humor to an better place physically and mentally. He strengthens their character and values while being respectful and motivating.

Ripple Effect Martial Arts continues to amaze me in their ability to empower kids and adults alike to be the best version of themselves. The martial arts training is excellent. My son needed something special in his life to call his own and the Ripple family has been a great fit. Even through the strife of the pandemic & social disconnect we all felt Ripple took extra special care to inspire him & make him feel like he belongs. I have witnessed time & again how expertly the staff and instructors handle the students with respect, patience, good humor, empathy and joy.

My daughter has been training at Ripple Effect for the past 4 years. Ripple Effect has become an extension of our family. We’ve watched her grow immensely and learn life skills while being part of a team and reaching a goal.The staff is invested in the growth of the student.Our daughter loves her instructors and the school overall.The road to black belt isn’t an easy one but at Ripple Effect Martial Arts the students are shown to persevere, focus and never give up.As a parent, I highly recommend Ripple Effect Martial Arts.

Ripple Effect Martial Arts is hands down the BEST martial arts institution. How can I say that? How do I know whats The best out there? I dont, and I dont need to. All I need to know is what my child is capable of and his/her potential. After seeing my son go through the entire curriculum and his Black Belt testing with Ripple Effect I can confidently say that its the best possible achievement of my 10 year olds life so far. I, as a mother, got to see my son metamorphose from a clumsy, tall, and husky 7 year old silly kid to a strong, confident, responsible leader of a young man. His growth has been multi faceted and I am the happiest to be able to look up to him in more than one way. I couldnt have been any prouder for him for the evolved, good human being he has become. I thank Ripple Effect wholeheartedly. I am forever grateful to your excellence and dedication towards our children and our community! 🙏🏼

We LOVE Ripple Effect in Longmont. My son tried Karate with another local studio and did not like it at all. My son talks about Mr. Wagoner all the time and how much fun he’s having in karate. We are also seeing an increase in our son’s focus, body awareness and respect.

We love Ripple Effects in Longmont! Our three daughters attend, ages 12, 10 & 4. I was unsure that it would be a good fit for my older girls starting so late in life, but they are wonderful with ALL age groups. Ms. Alison & Ms. Chrissy are so helpful and patient with the million & one questions I had and still occasionally have. I definitely feel like everyone is a friend and that it’s not just a business. Mr. Wagoner is AMAZING! Energetic, encouraging, inspiring and SO much fun, but serious when needed for sure! We love it here! Our kids are learning so much and it’s not just about karate, it’s about how to live your life and be responsible and positive, even when things get hard. Thank you to ALL of the staff for their hard work to keep the kids working hard, smiling, laughing and so much more!

It is super fun as you learn about the martial arts plus I you learn about patients and other important life lessons

Ripple Effect is a truly incredible place. It teaches more than just punching, kicking, and self defense. It provides an environment that truely nurtures individuals to build self confidence, compassion, mental and physical strength and teaches its students how to truly be the best versions of themselves, both in and outside the dojo. Joining Ripple Effect has had an incredibly profound impact on our entire family.

Best find for our children! They have learned focus, grace, and most importantly self confidence. The staff/family at Ripple Effect is AWESOME.

Ripple is amazing! My son loves it and they work hard to ensure he is learning and having a good time while doing it

My son goes has been coming here since 2017 and he is a dedicated student. He loves it, and I love the qualities of honor and discipline they have instilled into him.

I love Ripple Effect Martial Arts! They rock and my son is amazing! Best dojo in the world!

This has been so great for myself and my nephews!! They are building character and building relationships with great role models!

After a more than 10-year hiatus from training, I chose to return to karate through Ripple Effects Longmont. Their family-oriented teaching philosophy, coupled with their professionalism and high expectations, including fun, made my choice for me.

My son has been with ripple effects for 3 years plus .. in his journey so far this program is amazing ! He has learned self confidence, discipline, socialism, and just in all to believe in himself ❤️He is autistic and it is very hard for him to fit in and believe in himself, as a parent it’s very heartbreaking watching your child struggle. Being a part of the ripple effect family has had a great positive impact on him, from where he started till now is unbelievable and heartfelt! This is truly an amazing experience he will cherish and remember and grow with it in his future accomplishments. Absolutely amazing staff and instructors - ty Ripple Effect Martial arts, you have changed my sons life in an enormous way❤️The Family of dareyan Payne

Ripple effect Longmont has truly built my son’s confidence and focus. The instructors, administrators, and leaders truly care about my son. They encourage him, support him, praise him, and also honesty and carefully help him correct his mistakes. One of the best things to ever get your child involved in!

Amazing teachers, amazing program! Couldn’t be happier to have found this place for my kiddo, it’s life changing!

We are so happy to be a part of the Ripple Effect family and when I say family, I truly mean that. They treat everyone as family and do what they can to help in all situations. My children have grown so much in the months that we have been here and it has been such a great experience for us so far. We plan on being with ripple effect for a long time!

I go to ripple effect and I love it everybody is so nice and they pushed me when I wanted to give up so now I am almost a black belt because of them, I highly recommend it.

Excellent school! Very happy with my training!

We literally found Ripple Effect by sheer luck in late January of 2020. We brought our 3 kids in for the complimentary class and left that day absolutely in love with the instructors and staff. Through the pandemic, they have offered every imaginable form of training within the confines of regulations and restrictions.Mr. Wagoner, Mr. Farrie, Miss Kirkpatrick, Mr. Hagendorn, Miss Chrissy, Miss Allison, Miss Tretten, and Mr. Roger know every student by name and are fully invested in insuring that each student excels in their training.My children may have started out learning American Freestyle Tae Kwan Do, but they have also learned self-control, self-discipline, self-esteem, self-awareness, and see integrity, compassion, passion, perseverance, discipline, modesty, and respect.We couldnt be happier to be training here.

Amazing program with a wonderful curriculum focus!

Excellent martial arts school. The community is great. The instructors are caring and skilled. My son is thriving.

Beautiful environment with a passionate staff. Respect, great martial arts, and a family feel.

As a student of the longmont school, this is the best martial arts school Ive been too.

My first time there, I was greeted by Mr. Wagner. He was professional, polite and inviting. Gave me the information o need and did not try to get me to sign up on the spot.

When we started our son at Ripple Effect we were immediately impressed by the fun and welcoming environment the instructors and staff have created. They are passionate about building young leaders by providing challenging opportunities for growth – both mind and body. I enjoyed watching him have so much fun that I joined too and now its a journey we share and have common goals to achieve. It’s been very special experience to become part of this community – highly recommended!

Ripple Effect has been a big part of my life ever since I was seven. The instructors have helped me learn how to achieve personal goals and persevere. I am impressed at how well I have been taught and I couldn’t have asked for a better karate school. Once I started, my dad thought it looked interesting so he joined me. We are now both conditional black belts and we cannot wait to be certified black belts!

The instructors are so positive, energizing. Helping me and my daughter with discipline, confidence, self control, and so much fun. Kicking, hitting and yelling. Controlled and safe because of the awesome environment. So many good teen examples for my 10 year old daughterLove it!

We love Ripple Effect Martial Arts in Longmont. From the very first day, our family has been welcomed, supported and encouraged by the instructors and staff. It has been such a joy watching our sons grow in mind, body and character as they progress in their martial arts journeys.

If I can help 1 person/child with this review I will call it a success. It all started when my 8 yr old attended a birthday party at village peaks ripple affect and got hooked,which was fine btw. They got 3 free punches,(which they call classes). They liked it so we signed them up. In time they earned their yellow belt roughly 3 months. 2 days before they were to receive their gold belt they brought us in the office. They demanded,in front of our kids almost $5k for 1 year or they could not earn their gold belt,which they earned. They brought our kids in with us and told us and them that their parents were making a great sacrifice for them while we havent even decided yet. Who in their right mind is going to sign and commit an 8 year old to a year contract!!!! We all know how kids change their minds hourly, daily,weekly, and monthly. Yes as this review reflects this was for 2 kids 11 and 8. I could not hand over that kind of money. The pressure they put on us in front of our kids was flat out rude and disgusting. Was like and old used car salesman. This place will award anyone with a belt that pays the money rather than on ability. I mean they have 6 year olds walking around with black belts that can barely complete a full sentence. My kids were very disappointed but they understood why we chose not to return. There are other places we are looking at in the area. If your interested in being pressured to pay a fortune to receive any belt color just for showing up, this is the place for you. I have heard countless stories from other families as well about this..

Our son LOVES karate classes at Ripple Effect! The instructors and staff are positive, encouraging and facilitate growth in strength, focus and self-defense, all while having fun! We appreciate the respect shown to students and parents, as well as the cultivation of respect from students to their peers, instructors, family and others.

My family consistently remarks that belonging to the Ripple Effect family is the best money we spend every month. The instructors and staff are incredible: positive, motivational, encouraging and challenging. My kids and I have gained focus and self esteem while having a great time in class and growing as martial artists and people. HIGHLY recommend.

My son has struggled with self confidence, so we decided to sign him up for karate. We stumbled upon Ripple Effect at a festival and tried out the free class. That was one year ago, and we havent looked back. The instructors respect the children and have been the perfect combination of tough and encouraging with my son. He has already learned the lessons of respect for himself and others, persevering through adversity, self discipline, and so much more. He has impressed us with his ability to focus and learn the combinations, and hes gotten quite good and much stronger in just one year. He has found his voice and a place of his own where he can excel. There are so many opportunities for self improvement and advancement, and the flexible schedule is a huge benefit for our hectic lives. Although Ripple Effect may be more costly than others, it is worth every penny!

I love being part of the Ripple Effect family. A great martial arts school with great instructors! Especially great if you want to see big improvements in your childs coordination and discipline. And of course theyll have a blast!

Just signed up my son and after just the first class I knew it was the perfect place for him. Instructor is awesome and its so much more than the training he will receive but the the life skills discipline and learning that will forever stay with him.

An amazing school and martial arts program. Mr Wagoner and Mr Hunter are so engaging and the kids get great exercise but more importantly develop great character and leadership. This program is not just for the kids but the entire family. My family has found a wonderful place that supports what we are teaching our son at home and the Ripple Effect community (all three schools) are our extended family, come check it out.

I love this group of people, they have worked with a friend of mines 4 yr old, and the changes in him have been amazing!!! They genuinely care about the kids they teach and they are always working with the parents to achieve the best outcomes for the family. I am also impressed with the amount of time they give back to the community, and how they value the individuals that comprise it, well worth it to check them out!

Warm and welcoming community; everyone is encouraged regardless of level of skill; inspiring character training; trainers are fantastic people and role models; we’re so glad we discovered Ripple Effects!

Ripple Effect has helped our son grow into a confident, responsible and caring young man, they teach values like kindness, perseverance and respect along with kicks, blocks and punches!

These guys do it right. High energy. Total engagement with the students. Organized, disciplined, and fun. The kids love it. Highly recommend Ripple Effect.

The instructors connect with the students and motivate them to push themselves. Students build strong character and goal-setting skills along with self-defense and fitness. Our whole family loves Ripple Effect.

Very professional group! Rip kick kick boxing is sure to give you a great work out! Kids have a lot of fun and learn focus, discipline and gain confidence.

Enrolling our son in this martial arts program was the best decision we ever made. The staff is phenomenal and the instructors are so motivational and uplifting. When you join the program, you become part of the Ripple Effect family!

This program is life changing! And the community at ripple effect will become your 2nd family.

The instructors are phenomenal. They are positive, fully of energy, and they know how to inspire their students. We drive all the way from South Boulder, but its worth it.

This is the first review on Google that I have ever bothered to write. I simply cannot speak out about Ripple Effect Martial Effect (Longmont site). My kids are ages 12 and 11, so we have been around the block a time or two. Ripple Effect is a martial arts school, but it is so much more than martial arts. Its a school of positive character-building, of merging theory into the lives of the student, their families and the community. There are assignments (physical and personal growth related), expectations and rewards and consequences for all students. Perhaps the most extraordinary trait of REMA is the personal connections that instructors and staff have for students and families. I am still trying to find the magic trick that they use!! - LOL!!! It really is unbelievable!!! The instructors are phenomenal; truly skilled at inspiring students to meet their fullest potential with a whole-child approach. And whats more?! They are genuine in their passion. Instructors ENJOY teaching... and theyre brainiacs! They mat excites them, and it radiates throughout the entire school. Its fun to master martial arts and learn about honesty, respect, grace, goals, leadership, aligning body and character, etc.Ripple Effect instructors and staff are sensational with people with disabilities; kids that youd never dare enroll in many schools. My daughter and so many other students are fully integrated into classes and, because of the instructors nurturing and intuitive teaching methods, they THRIVE with all students.Proud to be part of the Ripple Effect Family!!

This tae kwon do school is a fantastic addition to longmont! Their instructors are energetic and make the classes awesome! My son has learned so much too with their character development focus too!The family focus environment is a huge plus when we started the program!

Great atmosphere for the kids with lots of positive energy.

Great mix of disciplined martial arts and relaxed, enjoyable exercise.

They are very nice to every on

Life changing!
