Phats Martial Arts

"Master Howell has become a major part of my village. Her willingness to teach children to overcome fear and pain is impeccable. I’ve watched numerous children thrive socially with complex issues with their peers due to her teachings. If you are looking for a class to teach discipline, integrity and accountability this is IT. Truly a learning experience for all ages!"

"I enrolled my boys in this program 5 years ago and we love it even more. The amount of hard work, discipline, and skill set that they have gained is priceless."

"Do not go to this place. The owner does not train children properly and creates a hostile environment for children. This place is not safe. I witnessed her advise two small children to spar until they passed out. This is not the way to teach children. Upon doing more research and within my personal experience with Howell, below are signs of a toxic martial arts school. 1. Students don't ask questions because they do not feel comfortable doing so. The instructor is worshipped at times and group think is extreme. 2. The instructor is self centered and or appears narcissist. 3. Some students are bullied or belittled during class. Schools that select students for verbal bereavement are signs of a toxic school. 4. The school attempts to isolate members from other members and or from looking at other systems. 5. Students get injured due to instructor egos. 6. Students who leave for a period of time may not come back. This may be because the student caused injuries were reckless or they didn’t pay fees. However, this is a sign of toxicity."

"Stay as far away from this place as you can. Ms. Howell, the owner of this place tells children to spar/fight until they pass out. This is not safe! Stay away. She is supposed to time the children when they spar and she does not always do this. She does not properly instruct children on how to spar. My prayer is that she will receive inner peace and learn how to better instruct students."

"I loooove master Howell. Affordable for my family of 5. I do her fitness Class with my girlfriends and my kids and cousin come to her karate class."
