My son has been at the studio for 7 years, starting when he was 6 years old. The discipline, confidence, and skill that he continues to develop is a strong part of who he is. Our experience at the studio has been challenging, exciting, fun, extremely supportive, consistent and yet flexible. There are always fun and motivational activities offered outside of class as well. Mr. Jones is an excellent leader/teacher at the Dojo and in the community. I highly recommend Determined Martial Arts!
The instructors are the absolute best part of the school. The kids learn so much from them. It’s more than just karate it’s how to be a better person in every aspect of your life.
Mr. Jones and his team have been inspirational to our son. At 9 years old he is now a green belt and has been an avid student for more than a year and a half. In that time, he has grown in confidence, patience, and determination.
Our son has been taking classes with Mr. Jones for over 3 years and we couldn't be happier. We are amazed at how his confidence has soared. The Determined Martial Arts community is wonderful and the instructors are caring and dedicated. We would highly recommend Determined Martial Arts!

When I was in high school, I was big into competitive speech & debate. Other than martial arts, it’s what I was most passionate about. The only problem is that I didn’t work nearly as hard at it as I could have, and that showed in my results. In my third year of competition, I […]
The story of me becoming a Black Belt is a pivotal one in my life because it taught me at a young age that good things happen when you stop running from your problems and consistently put in the work. This is something that I still work on everyday. This is what our instructors are […]
