My son loves taking karate lessons, at Martial Arts Hero Factory, with Sensei John!He truly looks forward, to his classes, to learn, practice, & to have fun, too!If youre thinking about karate lessons, for your family, youve found your place...Martial Arts Hero Factory. Its the best!!! Thanks, Sensei John!!!
My daughter started at Martial Arts Hero Factory in January and I must say she absolutely adores it! Not only is she learning a new skill, but it is also contributing to her social/ emotional skills, focus, and discipline!! I couldn’t ask for a better organization and it’s so welcoming and Sensei really pays attention to the children and shows genuine support and care! As a parent that’s amazing to witness!
My daughter started taking the karate classes a couple of months ago and she is almost 14. She was afraid she was too old to start but that is not the case at all. She goes as many nights as they have open for her and it is great to see her so motivated especially during the pandemic. She is getting great exercise, forming friendships, and most importantly learning to respect the Martial Arts as a skill set and way of approaching life each day. Thank you for welcoming Holly from the first day it has made all the difference!
My son Johnny has been taking classes with Sensi John for several months now. He is not only learning karate but also skills like focus, discipline, and confidence. We both look forward to going to the Martial Arts Hero Factory all the time. I recommend that all kids should give it a try. Sensi John is great with the kids, and my son has benefited greatly thus far and he will only get better. Thank you Sensi
My son has been taking classes with Sensei John for over a year now and he ABSOLUTELY loves it. He has gained focus, confidence and an admiration of martial arts since he started. Last year his birthday party was at the Martial Arts Hero Factory and the kids couldn’t have had a better time. Sensei really knows how to work with and handle all types of kids (quiet, shy, active, unfocused...) I would definitely recommend these classes to all ages !! Get your kids off of the iPads and get them over to the hero factory :) !!!
My son loves going to karate. He really enjoys working with Sensei John. We use not going to karate as a consequence if he doesn’t have good behavior. I like how Sensei John has control of the class so the kids are learning to respect someone in authority. I also love the friends he’s making in class.
My six year old son has thoroughly enjoyed the past year training at Martial Arts Hero Factory. We have seen an improvement in his confidence levels and his ability to take direction. Sensei and Mr. John have used techniques that have created a learning environment that is both educational and engaging. The classes go beyond just learning how to kick and punch. Martial Arts Hero Factory instills discipline, respect and self-confidence. We are grateful that this is part of my son’s week and he looks forward to his time spent at karate. He leaves with a smile on his face, a feeling of accomplishment and excitement about working towards his next belt.
The website shows little kids that couldn’t be more than 8yrs old wearing black belts. I would be very skeptical of the effectiveness of this karate when they are giving out belts like that so easily to kids.
The Martial Arts training has instilled more confidence in my son. He is able to deal with aggressive children and often steps up to assist other children who are being bullied. Overall the training has has a positive impact on him. The team at hero factory always puts the needs of the students first, while teaching them respect and self control. I would recommend the Hero Factory to anyone interested.
We have enrolled both our children, ages 3 and 4. It was recommended by a friend and has been one of the best things we did for our children. The instructors are so nice as are the parents and students. Sensei John is firm but kind. He handles the little ones perfectly. This is definitely a place your child can learn and grow and have fun!
We absolutely love this place. Our son is always excited to attend. We have also seen more Confidence in him. He also loves to play with the kids after class.
Brought my 4year granddaughter here and she and I love it. The staff is so patient with the children, they instruct them on their level/ability to learn. The atmosphere is friendly and nurturing as well as clean and organized.
My son loves going to martial arts on sat mornings. His listening skills have improved as well as his sense of confidence.
If I could give the Martial Arts Hero Factory more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! My kids are in love with this place. They ask me everyday if they are able to go. They have grown so strong, both mentally and physically, in such a short amount of time. They get so excited to receive new stripes, because it gives them such a sense of confidence knowing that they earned them. I can’t tell you how proud I am of them but more importantly how proud they are of themselves. Not only are they learning and growing but they are having a blast doing it! Sensei John always keeps them engaged. He always mixes it up and makes sure to leave time for a game at the end. As a mother, it really is a joy to watch it all! We are so grateful to the Martial Arts Hero Factory! - The Anzideo Family
My little sister has been going for a year now. I must tell you that she’s had an awesome year at Hero Factory. Both Sensei-John and Ms. Johanna are great at what they do. If you’re looking for a Martial Arts place for your child, I recommend Martial Arts Hero Factory.
One of the best class that I signed up for my daughter!!! She enjoyed the class structure and all the activities that they do during the class. Sensei John is firm with the kids but he can also makes kids laugh and have so much fun in his class. My daughter J****a became more respectful towards others and has gained a better memorization skill. Definitely a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me !!! :)
My Gabrielle Rose has been going to MAHF for quite some time now and has been growing mentally and physically while earning her stripes, becoming more confident while learning from a very good and knowledgeable teacher. If your thinking about having your child join, don’t think twice because you won’t regret it.
My son Jack loves Karate and I think it has everything to do with Sensei John!! He is firm but patient and it really translates into a great learning experience. It is a pleasure to watch Jack learn something that he truly enjoys. Well Done and Thank you.
Parents, if you are looking for an awesome experience for your children then you owe it to yourselves to sign your kids up! My son has been going to the Martial Arts Hero Factory for a little over a year. The positive changes we have seen in him are a direct result of the hard work his instructors put into the classes. Nicky was always a bright kid but he lacked in physical confidence. He has made tremendous strides in this area. I see him now standing up for himself and respecting others but more importantly respecting himself. I look forward to the ongoing progress the program yields. A huge THANK YOU to Sensei and Mr. John.
Awesome place! My son has been here a few years and loves it. Hes about to move up to another belt and is doing great! Great place to learn karate!
My daughter started this school a little over a month ago and she loves it!! Mr. John is wonderful with the children. He knows how to have fun with the kids while teaching them Karate skills. He also teaches the kids to be attentive and respectful. I highly recommend this school to everyone.
The program at Martial Arts Hero Factory is incredible! It is the perfect mix of discipline and fun! Both of my kids have started only 2 months ago and are completely hooked! My son has improved immensely physically and mentally. He has always feared being the center of attention and has held himself back physically out of fear of being embarrassed or even applauded. When he goes to class here, he is a totally different kid and is growing more confident in himself everyday. My daughter has always been outgoing and often times has trouble with self control. She has also grown so much and is so proud every time she steps off the mat knowing she sat with her feet crossed and hands folded, listened, and did her best! Thank you Martial Arts Hero Factory and sensei John for helping so many kids to be the best version of themselves!-The Graser family
Sensai John was a serious instructor but also know how to make everyone laugh. My son is always looking forward for class. Overall, my son is becoming more confident after joining Martial Arts Hero Factory karate program. Keep up the good work!!
My son is 10 years old and very much looks forward to going to karate class and learning new things. He joined a month ago and is becoming disciplined and his self control has improved a great deal. Sensei John is very patient and takes time with each student when instructing. Mr. John is excellent with the kids-very calm and keeps a good sense of humor about him. Highly recommended if you are looking for an excellent activity for your kids, or even for yourself!
My son is 4.5 and has been going to weekly karate classes for the past four months. He really looks forward to attending the Saturday morning classes. His balance and coordination has noticeably improved in just a few short months. The teachers create a warm, fun, and educational atmosphere for the children. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone interested.
I started my daughter (4) a few months ago and this program is great. She is always excited for class. She practices at home and simply cant get enough karate! I have seen improvement in her focus, confidence and strength. She seems happier and enjoys being more active. She listens better too! It is great to be able to reference things that she has leaned in class and apply those lessons to other areas of life. Sensei and Johanna are a wonderful team and what they are doing for these youngsters is good for the kids as well as the community. I see this being a long term commitment that will aid our little girl in many areas as she grows into a responsible adult.
My son has been coming to this school for about 6 months and he has been amazing! Sensei incorporates fun as well as discipline into my son and the habits he learns in karate class trickles into other activities as well. I highly recommend the Hero Factory for all.. it feels like family!
Wow, just wow! This place is amazing and such an experience all around. Sensei John expects a lot even out of the preschoolers and it works. The kids love being taken seriously and held to high standards. He really gives kids confidence. And he really treats boys and girls equally. I respect that so much. The atmosphere is very family- like.
Tyler loves going to karate at martial arts hero factory. Since going about a year and a half ago, Ive noticed a difference in his listening skills, and his respect towards his elders. In his words I have learned a lot of moves. My favorites is side kick. I worked realty hard at it
I have seen my daughter become stronger mentally and physically. This was the best decision my husband and I chose for Jaylynn.
Great place to have you children learn martial arts. The instructor is very patient with ALL students and it has a great family atmosphere.
I joined a couple of months ago and love it! Until now, I had not had interest in any physical activity or sport. Not only am I learning how to defend myself, but I feel more confident. Sensei is awesome!-Matthew
My son Marco loves it here! Sensei John really has a way with these kids! He expects alot from them and the kids know it! Since joining in February, Marco has made great progress in karate and at home. He definitely listens better, is more patient, and respectful. I do believe karate has helped build his confidence as well. Everyone here treats you like their family and I highly recommend this place. Hero Factory Martial Arts is truely the best!
Hello my name is Sitia C, ever since my son Averi has been attending the Martial Arts Hero Factory, Ive noticed that he has become more self confident in all aspects of his life. At school hes eager to show his friends what he is learning, so much that they would like to join too. Ive talk to a few parents already and gave information about this facility. This program is great exercise for the kids, and an added bonus is that Averis sleep has drastically improved which is an even bigger plus for me as his parent! Thank you Sen Sai John, youre our hero!!!!
My son was hooked from the first class. The instructors have a great balance of teaching discipline and motivating while keeping it fun.
Great Instructors, great with the little ones. Kids respect and admire Sensei John and Mr. John. Teaching life lessons through Karate.
They are really great with the kids. Sensei John has alot of patience and teaches great discipline.
Great place, my son loves it, hes learning alot. And we definitely will continue to go
Love this place they do a great job with the children and my daughter enjoys coming to learn martial arts here the best Ive seen so far!
Terrific school!! Great instructors that teach more than just Martial Arts. They teach life lessons.
Excellent dojo! My son is 7 and very much looks forward to going to karate class and learning new things. In 5 short months, hes already becoming quite disciplined and his self control has improved immensely. The dojo is very clean. Sensei John runs a tight ship, and Mr. John is excellent with the kids. Highly recommended if you are looking for an excellent activity for your kids, or even for yourself!
My kid have had wonderful experiences at this place, the sensei did a great job of making it fun for the kids.
Sensei John and Mr. John are great w/ the kids. My Raquel has learned so much from them. From discipline, to self defence, to confidence, as well. to making new friends. They Teach the kids karate in so many different ways in the class and make it fun when they still have to have self control. I am happy that I made a good decision for signing her up at MAHF.
A wonderful school that supports their students, encourages each childs talents, and makes learning enjoyable.
I have been a student at this dojo for over 10 years. I started class thinking i would take for a while, while I enjoyed it and got something out of it. 10 years later I am still growing and learning and enjoying Sensei John McGonigle and his excellent classes. His approach is based in real life reaction attack scenarios and his classes reflect that while not losing the deep history and tradition of karates Okinawan roots. I couldnt say enough good about this great school. - Ian Rose
Please note: My son, Anthony is telling me what to type.I like karate because it is fun and will help protect me. Punching and kicking pads, sock-mon and porkchops are good exercise. My classmates are friendly and Sensei John is an awesome teacher. I like that Sensei John is also teaching my dad.
I have seen an increase in my childrens level of respect, confidence and discipline.
This review is from my son Tyler, who is 6 years old and started taking classes in January (about 8 months ago). I like taking classes at Martial Arts Hero factory a WHOLE LOT. In the class I have learned how to do back kicks, Taikyoku Shodan (not sure if Im spelling it right), and that I can break a piece of wood with my hands or knee!! I never thought I could do that! Ive also learned about listening - I do what my Mom or Dad tell me - the first time they ask. (Mom: here - this is the truth!). I also like the other kids in the class and the fun stuff like laser tag, and nerf gun battles.
My husband and I are blown away by what our son, Santino, is learning in karate. We wanted to send our son to karate for discipline and exercise. He is not in preschool, so we wanted him to have a classroom experience as well. Parents, this school is fabulous! Our son loves Sensei and looks up to him as a mentor already. He wants that black belt! We have seen Santino grow in discipline, focus, manners and strength. He not only has learned karate form and technique at a young age, but everyday social skills and emotional needs are constantly reinforced. If you ask our son what his favorite part is, it would be Superhero Week! We love how they incorporate the fun as well! Thank you, thank you!
Krav Maga class was great. Learned a lot, had fun, and a great workout. Instructors are dedicated to there kids and its a great safe environment.
Next month will be two years that we started our journey here. My son is now one month away from being seven and has grown and learned so much these past two years. There were times when I felt all was moving too fast, but I simply needed to trust the process. Sensei John and Mr. John certainly have a great thing going at this dojo. Both Sensei John and Mr. John are great with the kids; their ability to make the class fun while they are teaching the kids the necessary karate skills is nothing short of amazing. I very much admire their passion to teach the kids about respect, it goes a long way. If you have been wondering about this place, no need to wonder; come on in and join us!
I have been a student of Sensei John McGonigle’s for almost 5 years. Ive seen a lot of people start at the dojo, and it doesn’t matter if it’s your first day or your 5th year, everyone is treated with respect and encouraged to do their best. I appreciate the friendships and knowledge Ive gained in a short period of time.
Outstanding! I love taking my young son here.
My kid is in his 2nd week and he loves it.
Absolutely amazing experience especially when Sensei helps out!
Great place for the whole family!!!
Great school for all ages
