This is great place to train and study martial arts. Raymond Daniels is truly a wonderful teacher that teaches martial arts in a safe, fun, and positive experience. His curriculum is legit where you earn your belt, and become a real martial artist. My kids love working with him and he continually motivates them to be the best version of themselves.

10/10, 100% would recommend. My shy 6 year old wanted to learn Martial Arts because one of his friends gets lessons, so, challenge accepted. EMAC was recommended and literally fell into my lap within a week of my son’s request. I couldn’t be happier with all that he’s getting aside from learning to fight. I’ve seen so much growth in him in just few weeks. His confidence, flexibility, social skills, self awareness, and self discipline has already boosted so much.
Sensei Colbey has been a joy to work with and you can tell this family has a passion and knack for this and I couldn’t be more grateful for her invitation and handholding though the process of getting my son involved.
Sensei Raymond has been an amazing mentor and role model for our son. He mixes fun with discipline and positive reinforcement and is just really great with the kids. My son is able laugh and learn at the same time and that alone has been invaluable to me.
There was one session, my son was having a bad day and visibly looked on the verge of tears the first half of the lesson. It took everything in my power not to stop the session and pull him into my arms and ask “what’s wrong?!” I was relieved when Sensei Raymond found a moment in his session to get down on his level and validate his feelings and help him through them. I also liked that he didn’t drop everything right away to address my son’s feelings as there was a lesson to be learned. Sensei Raymond spoke to him about pushing through, taught him the art of deep breaths to calm some of those feelings, and was able to get my son to divulge that he was tired and having a hard time dealing with the training his body wasn’t used to enduring. I think this was the moment I was truly sold. If I can trust someone with my son’s feelings, and more so than that, my son can trust you with his feelings?! I’m all in.
It’s hard work, and the first few sessions, my son decided it was too hard and didn’t want to return, but we stuck with it because he always enjoys himself during and says he loves it after each class. ? I haven’t heard any griping in a while and he’s so darn proud of himself it almost brings me to tears. We reiterate some of the lessons he learns from Sensei Raymond at home, it’s okay to make mistakes a long as you try your very best, show your focus with your eyes, mind, and whole body, and it really resonates with him. I can’t wait to see the continued growth. Thank you guys so much for all the life lessons you’re instilling in our shy, sensitive, energetic, smart little boy.
