Journey Martial Arts is the best!
Mr. K and the entire team at Journey have gone above and beyond throughout the pandemic to help students meet their goals.
My son has attended classes at Journey for the past 2+ years and the change we have seen in him has been amazing.
He has gained body control. He used to get injured playing just because he's a big dude and he couldn't control his body. Now I watch him climbing trees and balancing on branches without concern.
He has gained self-confidence. One of the most important lessons Journey teaches is failure. You don't move up the ranks just by attending classes. You have to pass rank tests.
As a parent, it's hard to see our kids disappointed... but it is exactly the lesson they need. They learn that perseverance and hard work can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Our son has learned that if he puts his mind to something, he can achieve it.
The instructors are fantastic, knowledgeable and are great with the students of all ages. Liz McDonald is the main instructor and obviously loves her job. She imparts great values and life lessons.
This is an excellent place for kids and adults. The studio is very high-quality and kept in great condition, and the instructors (namely Mr. K) are fantastic. Very personable, funny, inclusive, and give great instruction.
Mr. K and the staff at Journey are all amazing! Their program has given my daughter strength confidence and maturity. She always seems to leave class with a smile on her face.
My son visits my sister every summer for several weeks. She enrolled him in one of their summer camp sessions. He looks forward to that every summer with her!! It is all he talks about!
Mr K. and the whole Journey team have been a key part of our son's life for three + years. In addition to the martial arts skills he's now mastered, they have helped teach our child about self-sufficiency, respect, integrity, hard work, failure, grit, and other key life lessons, They adapted to the challenges of Covid with creativity and flexibility and offered families like us a welcome bit of continuity in otherwise chaotic times. Their dedication to instilling kids with confidence and self respect is admirable. No matter how far our son makes it along his own training journey, we know his time with Mr. K and the great teachers at JMA will have been integral to his long term success. We consider them part of our family's team.
The owner of this facility is such a passionate and patient teacher. She loves what she does and she is able to pass those skills onto her students with the upmost profession. Her patience is key when it comes to how she teaches and cares for her students during these lessons. Highly recommend if you want your kiddo to be well taken care of AND learn some amazing skills!
I've been working out with Mr. K since the day Journey opened up - currently 3 mornings a week before work. I wouldn't be exaggerating to say that that hour with him is often the highlight of my day. I look forward to it...often jumping out of bed in anticipation of it. And just to be clear - I'm currently 49 and only started working out 4 years ago, so it's not like I've been some maniacal workout fiend all my life. Mr. K makes it that much fun and makes you feel that good about what you've done for yourself...all without being pushy or overly aggressive. He does a phenomenal job varying the exercises so it's never boring, and constructing them so that each person is able to push themselves to the extent they are able/want to.
I'm in better shape at 49 than I was at 29 and it doesn't feel like a hardship at all. I highly recommend Journey Martial Arts/Mr K for anyone who is looking to improve their overall level of fitness via a friendly, personable environment where everyone is just looking to better themselves with no other pretenses.
Mr. K (Farzad) is an amazing instructor who makes you feel comfortable and relaxed with his warm smile while kicking butt! I have taken a self defense course with him as well as fitness classes and I can tell you that he is an amazing teacher.
All my friends know that I hate exercise. I believed that if you never exercised, your body would never need to store fat :-D. But Mr. K would encourage me to try out his classes. So, I took up the challenge and his regimen resulted in the fittest me that I had ever known. I was eating better, feeling energized and I was experiencing endorphins in a way that I had never known. I HIGHLY recommend Journey Martial Arts! Go on, get off your backside! It is worth it :-)

Wonderful staff and an exceptional teacher! I love seeing my granddaughter grow in this environment!
Love this place. The classes here are great for kids and adults. I've seen a positive change in myself, physically and mentally, and that's been the best part for me. I highly recommend Journey.
The instructors are amazing! My son has learned so much in the short time he's been involved with the program. Highly recommended for all kids and adults!

Very dedicated instructors!
