I love how the instructor waits to gear everything the kids have to say with patience and ackowledges what they say no matter if it's right or not. Yesterday in particular the instructor told one of the kids, when she was reluctant to one of the drills after she realized her mom had stepped out, they would do the front roll after her mom came back. She said she promised. And after class she did what she said. Everyone stopped to watch and after she was done we all clapped for her. Even though she needed help it didn't matter she was so happy and I was so impressed the instructor followed through. This is something not all parents do for their kids, establish trust.
Great place, amazing people! Ms. Nila is my favorite. And Mr Kpandja is so awesome and chill.
Fantastic instructors who care for the students progress. Safety is stressed while the classes are entertain and fun.
My oldest daughter has attended the summer camp 3 consequative years. It was her first choice for summer camp these past 2 years due to the coaches, activities, friends she made, positivity, and learning opportunities. The coaches all work so hard to help kids reach their full potential, meet their goals and make friends. They are also SO communicative with family. 10/10. Awesome summer camp run by awesome people!
I've been going to Murrayhill Martial Arts for years. I love training here. It is great group of people I train with.
For the last four years, since my three kids started classes at Murrayhill Martial Arts, I have noticed considerable improvement in their lives with increased self-confidence, developed self-discipline and seem better skilled in self-defense should there be an imminent threat in school or in daily lives. Not to forget, the Belts earned.
I love that Master Kaari is strict about the rules of her dojo, does not allow distractions with the kid’s goals. She controls the class environment and maintains order, something that us parents need help with at home.
The coaches and instructors are very engaging. My kids love, love, love Coach Neela, Paige and the super talented, Coach Sophia, who makes a strong impact as a coach and trainer. Thank you so much for your diligence in all you do for kids and parents.
Summer camp service during holidays and no school days are very helpful. Stops the craziness of finding a babysitter while we are at work.
Saturday Parents Night Out are such a treat for kids and parents. Kids can be dropped off just for a fun party night while parents can go on a date till 9pm. Basically, babysitting while parents have some time alone.
Thank you for just being there for us!!!!
Murrayhill Martial Arts is the BEST! My son joined almost 9 years ago and is doing fantastic. The instructor's have done so much with him. First starting my son would not communicate, or participate much but they were very patient and kind and worked at his pace. I am proud to say that last October my son tested for first degree black blet. His confidence has grown tremendously and he absolutely loves being part of a team he now calls his second family. All the instructors are fantastic, and I would recommend Murrayhill Martial Arts to everyone! I promise you won't regret it!
I absolutely LOVE how my 10 year old daughter went from being shy and bullied at school to a strong and confident girl that can defend herself even if I’m not around!! And for THAT I am eternally grateful! And along the way she has found new friends and she’s ALWAYS excited for her classes!
Instructors and office staff always go BEYOND taking care of my concerns and are very pleasant to talk, to deal and to work with!
My family LOVES and THANKS Murrayhill Martial Arts!
I promise you won’t regret giving this opportunity to your child!
This organization is first class. We enrolled our son, who was having behavioral challenges, at age 4, and over the past 3 years MHMA has helped shape him into a confident, accomplished, and attentive little man. The staff are incredible and they offer opportunities for kids to not only learn martial arts but also to participate in the teaching. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the best in martial arts training.
My family joined Murrayhill Martial arts almost a year ago. The quality of the classes and attitude of staff is incredibly good. My son loves every class, staff at Murrayhill plays a great role in shaping his character. They earns my highest recommendation.
My daughter loves going to Murrayhill Martial Arts! The classes are organized, engaging, and fun.
Fantastic organization. The instructors and coaches are wonderful with the kids and do a great job teaching/practicing kindness, respect, patience, perseverance, etc. Their positive coaching and teaching style is valued and appreciated. Our kiddos have enjoyed attending their classes, camps, and after school program. I also greatly appreciate how easy they are to work with. Highly recommend.
My kids absolutely love it here! The instructors are amazing, and they know how to combine fun with discipline in a way that kids respond.
Awesome instructors and always a positive environment. Awesome for kids AND adults!!! Always something new to learn!!!!
As parents, we want our children to thrive in all aspects of life, including their extracurricular activities. However, sometimes we notice that our kids are not performing well or are acting out, and we might struggle to understand why. Dr. Daniel Siegel’s HALT method can be a helpful tool in these situations. HALT stands for […]
In today’s educational landscape, both enrichment programs and extracurricular activities play significant roles in a child’s overall development. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they serve distinct purposes. Enrichment programs like SKILLZ Martial Arts focus on developmental growth with structured learning, while extracurricular activities emphasize recreation and social engagement. Here, we’ll dive deeper into […]
As parents, we all know that childhood is full of big emotions. Tears, frustration, meltdowns — they can feel overwhelming in the moment. But at SKILLZ, our coaches see these moments differently. We believe that emotional breakdowns aren’t interruptions to learning… they are the learning. When a child feels safe to express big emotions, and […]
As parents, we’ve all noticed differences in how our children interact with the world. Some kids love socializing, leading group activities, and constantly being on the go, while others prefer quiet play, independent tasks, and need time to warm up in social settings. These differences stem from whether your child leans more toward introversion or […]
Nutrition plays a significant role in a child’s overall well-being, and it can have a profound effect on their behavior, especially in young children. Here’s why it matters: 1. Blood Sugar Levels: Sugary snacks and drinks can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, leading to a burst of energy followed by a crash. This […]
Before a child ever steps onto the mat, field, or court, they’ve already begun forming a prediction in their brain about how the day will go. That prediction isn’t just based on their skill level. It’s based on your tone, your energy, and your expectations. Common Phrases That Sabotage Before the Practice Begins: – “Don’t […]
At SKILLZ, we are dedicated to ensuring that every interaction our instructors have with your child builds confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence. One of the key components of our training is the Think Big, Teach BIGGERapproach, developed by SKILLZ Founder Melody Johnson. This concept ensures that we create an environment where children feel supported, empowered, […]
Parenting today looks very different than it did just a generation ago. Kids are growing up in a fast-paced, emotionally complex world—and as a result, parents need modern strategies rooted in connection, not control. That’s where Parent SKILLZ comes in. Parent SKILLZ is a child development framework designed to help parents better understand how children […]
As parents, we want the best for our children—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. What if there was an activity that could help your child build strength, improve focus, develop emotional control, and boost brain power… all at the same time? At SKILLZ, we don’t just teach martial arts. We use martial arts […]
What happens in the car after class, practice, or a game might seem like a small moment—but to a child, it’s everything. This is the moment when: – Their nervous system is still processing their performance. – Their inner voice is being shaped by external feedback. – Their love for the activity is either deepened—or […]
