I’m Jonathan I love Martial arts world 10/10 All of the instructors are nicePosted on william springsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been going to Martial Arts World for over 4 years now. We not only get the best before school and after school care but extra curricular activities to keep him active. Since attending he has leveled up to a blue belt. The instructors their Instructor K. Smith, Smith, Cash, Patterson and Mrs Doreen all together have worked will him throughout each level. They will go out their way to meet our needs for daycare. The Martial Arts World program allows him to learn and grown socially and to obtain physical and mental strengths. I'm happy to have found this type of daycare program. W. Springs
