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!!!!

Parenting is hard, it’s likely the highest pressure thing we do, with the most at stake. Sometimes, we all wish that someone would just tell us what to do. Perhaps it’s easier to identify the “to-don’ts” instead of the “to-dos” Here are some things that we do with the best of intentions. And, some possible […]
Today I want to share with you the Extreme SKILLZ (10 to 14-year olds) martial arts curriculum breakdown. Ten to fourteen-year-olds are the smartest students in the school. Yes, they are smarter than most adults! They are also physically competent and can excel in most physical challenges that are presented to them. The problem we […]
Today I want to share with you the Core SKILLZ (7 9-year olds) curriculum breakdown. Seven to nine-year-olds are what most people consider “the golden age.” They are proficient in their vocabulary and problem-solving skills, yet they are not at the age where they want complete independence from adults. This makes the teacher-student relationship stronger […]
Here’s an overview for the stages of development of children ages 5 and 6: • Physically- they typically do not know how to apply their muscles so they fall often when their body is in constant motion. Also, they have a foundation for leg, arm, core, and abdominal development, but they still lack a lot […]
Here’s an overview for the stages of development of children ages 3 and 4: • Physically- they typically have low tone and poor hand-eye-coordination. We expect them initially to drop their arms when punching and fall when kicking or jumping. We also expect them to have no concept of spatial awareness, therefore they will drop […]
Dear Parent, Today I’d like to talk about tough situations, struggles, failures, and the importance of following through in a manner that promotes growth in children. When things get tough for our kids the two most common ways parents handle these situations is to either swoop in and be the hero or to leave them […]

When it comes to educating kids to be well-rounded martial artists and raising them to be good adults, we want them to be resilient. We want them to happy, healthy and successful. And, we know that the world, and their lives won’t be unicorns and rainbows all the time. We want them to be able […]
Dear Parent, Stress and anxiety in our own lives is something that we “put up with”, but when it comes to our kids we don’t want them to unnecessarily be anxious or stressed out. However, stress and anxiety are a part of life and we can’t completely inoculate them from these realities. What we can […]
Guest Post By Master Melody Shuman When I started martial arts in 1987 as an 11-year old, things were very different. Kids and adults trained side-by-side, and everyone tested on the same material for their belt regardless of age. Needless to say, kids usually didn’t make it very far before dropping out because the training […]
As parents, we do our best to have the appropriate amount of control on the content and sources that our children have access to. When they are very young it is 100% in our control but as they grow and get more exposure to peers, teachers and third party information sources that control will diminish, […]
I started teaching martial arts to children almost 25 years ago. The parallels between the evolution of martial arts teaching styles and parenting styles is interesting. I see martial arts instructors teaching the same way today as 25 years ago. I see some parents raising their kids in a similar way that they were […]
One of the biggest concerns from parents during the school year is bullying. Some 160,000 kids skip school every day because they fear of being attacked or ridiculed by bullies. The good news is that these disturbing statistics can be limited with the proper education. As an educator that has worked with hundreds of children on anti-bullying […]
As seasoned children’s martial arts instructors, we have witnessed just about every sort of behavior and outburst from working with hundreds of martial arts students over the years. We have seen it all from playful name calling to angry tantrums. Some things are difficult to not take personally, but our experience allows us to put […]
Part of the Children’s Martial Arts Tradition is to help them to improve physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially through martial arts classes. And, we hope that these lessons and improvements stick both in and out of the martial arts studio. However, with technology our ability to observe and watch over our children is greater than […]
As parents there are so many responsibilities to raising a child. One of the big ones is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. It’s also a big part of what we do with martial arts training. It can be tempting to shower them with good-jobs, hurrays and high fives, but we also need to ensure […]
