Reviews of Don Warrener's Martial Arts Academy

This dojo offers fun, exciting kids classes that not only teach the martial arts, but teaches them the importance of respect, gratitude, a healthy lifestyle, etc. . the adult classes go a little more in depth towards the arts, while providing more physical activity. there are timetables that will work for everyone, along with tournaments and seminars held regularly to boost confidence and learn more from others. there are always instructors who are kind and ready to help anyone at a moment's notice. I have heard multiple people complain about pricing, but it really is no more than a gym membership, with a couple add ons. overall, great place to go if you're looking for a place to learn karate.

Great for both kids and adults. There are a large number of instructors and it is very easy to get one on one instruction when it's required. The class schedule is flexible with classes during the day and in the evenings. Special seminars are hosted so the students can get a feel of other styles of martial arts such as jiu jitsu and capoeira. DWMAA has many events from movie nights to summer camps to tournaments. Myself and my children are members.

Gradings come no matter the skill level, expensive gradings, and belts are being handed out in the upper ranks without people putting the time in. Too many 'black belts' who I don't think could defend themselves against a school bus of pre-schoolers.
