Being a Former U.S. Marine and learning different self defense tactics and as child growing up taking Karate and Aikido, I know the importance of taking a martial art and the value it gives the individual. I wanted to give Avianna an opportunity to incorporate her skills and strength from Gymnastics into a new discipline. I thought at her age she was ready to understand some of the forms and structure the martial arts provide. It was important for my wife and I to place our daughter in a positive, encouraging and healthy environment. We were looking for many things such as self control, respect and self defense. We found all that and more at the Martial Arts of America Studio in Pleasanton, CA. We have experienced improved listening and self control. We have also observed more respect for herself and others. Thank you very much. I like how they put the fun into martial arts with the children. Most of the Instructors still have the structure but also require the kids to have manners and show respect towards everyone. We appreciate all your hard work in developing the programming and encouraging my daughter to become a better person, which these skills can be kept for ever.
