We love Peoria Martial Arts! Master Elliott has been working with my daughter for the past 3 years, since she was 4. Many martial arts schools offer children’s programs, but the instructors at PMAC are truly gifted in engaging, encouraging and teaching young children. They go beyond teaching only martial arts as a sport and focus on manners, communication and leadership, life skills that will benefit our kids in all areas of their lives. I highly recommend Peoria Martial Arts Center!
So we looked for about 6 weeks looking for something that was affordable, and had multiple options for days. I posted on my Facebook page that I was looking for somewhere to enroll my 5 year old, and my daughters Girl Scout leader recommended me to Peoria Martial Arts Center. We did the free month, totally worth it and then signed up for the 12 month subscription. We have since been coming for about 4 months and have an hour drive one way because we live in Buckeye. Of course I would like something closer however the two brothers that teach here are absolutely amazing! They are stern when they need to be, and goofy and funny the rest of the time. My son looks forward to going, and is learning more than just martial arts, he’s learning how to listen, how to be patient, how to be respectful and responsible. I would highly recommend! This is place where you want to take your kids, people you want your children to learn from and look up to.
I highly recommend Peoria Martial Arts Center (PMAC) for young children interested in martial arts. From the moment we stepped into the dojo, the passionate and dedicated instructors created a positive and encouraging environment for my 5-year-old. The curriculum seamlessly combines discipline, technique, and fun, fostering growth, confidence, and self-discipline. The school's emphasis on values such as respect and perseverance has had a positive impact on my child's behavior and character development both on and off the mat. With a strong commitment to safety and a supportive community, PMAC provides an exceptional foundation for children to thrive and excel in martial arts.
The well-structured curriculum engages and motivates young learners, while the focus on character development and life skills helps children become better individuals. The school's commitment to safety and the welcoming community of instructors parents make it an exceptional place for children to grow and succeed. Overall, PMAC has provided my child with a remarkable journey and foundation for lifelong growth in martial arts.
We have been members for over 6 months and can say we ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Master Elliott and Master Paul are EXCELLENT at what they do. My 9 year old started out first, and then my 11 year old became interested after watching his brother in class. Then, I JOINED! We recently earned our orange belts and couldn't be more satisfied. I would refer Peoria Martial Arts. I AM VERY picky and don't post reviews unless I feel it is well deserved and IT VERY MUCH IS! Thank you guys at PMAC. We love it!
Great company to come out to our school and give our students the opportunity to get involved in a great after school program. Thanks so much!
Incredibly pleased with my sons afterschool program. The instructor Jonathan is very good with the kids and teaches them a lot of valuable lessons, not just awesome kicks :) highly recommend this course.
I am so grateful that Peoria Martial Arts Center is able to travel around to Legacy schools to teach the kids. Being a working mother of 3, it's tough to get them to extracurricular activities after school. There just isn't enough time in the day. My boys came home so excited today to show me how they earned a stripe. They are really happy and so am I!
My 4 year old daughter has been going here for less than a month and we already feel like family. We could not be any happier with the quality of instruction. Master Elliot has a way of being fun and firm simultaneously, creating a perfect learning environment for kids
If you have ever thought about enriching your child’s life with martial arts, without reservation, Master Jon is the person I would recommend.
He does not just teach martial arts, he instills values and morals into his students by leading through example.
My son is a better person for having trained with Master Jon for the past 7 years! His teachings will forever impact and be a part of my son’s life.
Excellent Martial Arts Center! Clean, organized, and well-maintained facility. Everyone there is friendly and Master Elliott is amazing at teaching my son. We love it here.
My son loves it here. His self esteem and level of self respect has been restored since we moved him to this studio. I am forever grateful to Master Elliot for re-igniting the passion my son has for Martial Arts that was crushed by his former studio. #gratitude
