St. Matthews Martial Arts

"I studied at st matthews martial arts from 1994 through 2001. I achieved a black belt. I have studied at quite a few places and although no single martial art is superior, the amount of information they give you is quite astonishing. They have a very comprehensive program that will get you fit, give you street self defense and you will make friends. Joan Reichert is probably the highest level martial arts in town."

"I love St Matthews Martial Arts! My daughter has been training there for 2 years. The instructors are wonderful and really great with the kids. I love that they do more than just karate with the fun days, presentation tournament, bully prevention and self defense classes they also offer. I highly recommend it!"

"St. Matthew’s Martial Arts Dojo offers a wonderful learning environment for children, teenagers, and adults. The Masters and instructors are very patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and friendly; however they do provide a safe and structured space for beginning through advanced martial arts learners. If you are someone looking for individual or small group martial art lessons for you, your children, or your entire family this is the Dojo for you. Their summer camps are loads of fun according to my six year old. Also, every last Saturday of the month they have a Fun Day from 5pm-8pm for a reasonable price which I love because my husband and I use it for a date night. Finally, my family loves all the other activities that they offer such as lightsaber days, bully prevention classes, and Women’s Self-Defense. Oh, I almost forgot Master Joan and Master Alan are amazing."

"Our son trained at St. Matthews Martial Arts starting in kindergarten. He's now a freshman in college, a third-degree black belt, and has taught classes, helped with birthday parties, and been an excellent punching bag during self-defense classes! What's most awesome about this dojo is that they are concerned with the whole child/teenager/young adult--not just their physical training and progression, but their character development as well. They are, quite simply, the best!"

"My sons go here and have had a great experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient people and they bring a lot of fun to the students. My sons love it and they've stuck with it because of the level of engagement given to them. The individual attention really stands out. Less about earning belts and more about gaining self-confidence and control."
