Each class is slightly different but they all give you an intense, total-body workout, and can be adapted for any age or fitness capability. The staff here are super friendly and encouraging, a make you feel very much a part of the MAFF family from Day 1. I highly recommend them and will be coming here for as long as I'm able to pack a punch :)”

“MAFF is my favorite place to workout! I just completed my first 6 week challenge and feel great! I went from not working out at all to going to 5 workouts a week and actually looking forward to them! The challenge was a great kickstart to a new lifestyle and I couldn't be happier! The staff and coaches are amazing and always willing to help”

“The kickboxing classes in alignment with the bands classes really help to work all those muscles we tend to forget about while also building flexibility and a lot of strength and power! And it is SO MUCH FUN! MAFF is unlike any "gym" or workout routine I've ever witnessed. It has truly changed my life. In my first 3 week evaluation I lost 4% body fat, and 7 lbs! I am looking SO great and see the changes every single day.”

“I started with the KUT program in July 2010 and in 6 months I've lost 65 lbs and feel great. Maff is truly my new "family" and I am now committed to getting my Black Belt!! It's as much fun as it is hard work.”

“My journey at MAFF first began with the KUT fitness program that helps you set and reach your goals. After that, I tried a free month of Martial Arts and ever since then I've been hooked! I love coming to the dojo, it's a place where you can train your body and your mind with friends and family.”
- Karla H.
★★★★★
“I expanded my martial arts training to include a fitness regimen that uses the resistance bands classes that are taught here. Master Wheaton said that bands might be the best form of exercise that there is - I must say that after three months, I am in great shape and look forward to those classes as much at the martial arts classes in the evening.”

“I love the fitness classes, especially bags. It's been a ritual for me for 3 years and I still look forward to it. In 45 minutes I get a full body work out and sweat like crazy. It's a fun, positive atmosphere and very empowering! The instructors are great, the work outs change to keep your mind challenged.”

“Kickboxing is FUN! I do NOT think of myself as a kickboxer but I go slowly to try to learn the right way and the teachers are supportive and patient with my lack of coordination - ha!”

“You aren't joining a gym - you are becoming part of the family. The other people who work out there are SO friendly - there is no intimidation or attitude here! Sometimes the start of class includes quick introductions to folks you haven't met before!”

Reviews from Martial Artists
★★★★★
“I've been practicing martial arts at various schools for nearly 20 years. Of all the schools I've trained with, this is definitely among the top. The school is very well structured, allowing for participation at all levels. Advancement is never guaranteed, but it is scaled for kids and adults alike. The atmosphere is full of respect, tho it doesn't follow the heavy handed discipline of some more extreme schools.”
- Adam L.
★★★★★
“The best place in town! They run a great place and everyone there keeps you fit and happy. Who would ever guess that kicking and punching would be so loving?”
-Jennifer F.

“I came to Martial Arts Family Fitness for to get in shape; I stayed because it became a family. MAFF is an incredible, supportive community where I go almost every day to work out, challenge myself, and share the joy of physical fitness with others. I don't know of any other 'gym' like it.”

“Martial Arts Family Fitness was the best thing I could have done for myself. No only am I taking care of my physical well being, I'm also taking care of myself mentally, spiritually and emotionally. The family environment at Martial Arts Family Fitness has really helped me grow in so many ways, and has given me the support I needed. I am a changed person thanks to MAFF and I couldn't imagine my life without it.”

Reviews From Parents
★★★★★
“I was sold after our very first trial class with our 4-yr old at Martial Arts Family Fitness. That day, the "Little Ninjas" class emphasized memory techniques, people skills, running techniques, martial arts stances, and self-defense moves-ALL in 30 minutes AND made it fun”
- Binh P.
★★★★★
“Our 5 year old son has learned so much from his Sensei at Martial Arts Family Fitness. This is an outstanding school, committed to boosting a child's self confidence and discipline, both on and off the mat!”
- Nicole B.
★★★★★
“LOVE this place. Family owned and operated makes it even better. Our son takes Hapkido here, and they treat every child with respect and compassion. I think they are great. I especially love "Parents Night Out" once a month. Thank you for maintaining such an amazing place for kids and adults alike.”
- Tori F.
★★★★★
“I met another mom in the locker room at MAFF and she summed it up perfectly: the Little Ninjas program teaches so much more than martial arts. MAFF is in the business of people building, mind, body and spirit! The heart and soul of the program is really found in the outstanding teachers who care for each student as a whole person!”
- Aliza N.
★★★★★
“To my friends, I say “do it!” It’s super fun for the kiddos and rewarding for them (and the parents) to see them improve over time. It also develops respect for one another and the teachers and the skills themselves. I appreciate the kids having to earn their skill bars. There have been a few times that my son had to redo a skill test before being given his skill bar... which I like because it helps reinforce the idea that effort is required to learn skills. I also like the yes sir/ no ma’am thing.”
- Teresa W.
★★★★★
“I love the positivity. There is such encouragement from everyone involved and my son always feels good about himself when he goes to class.”
- Elizabeth W.
★★★★★
“The teachers are great, attentive to students, mindful and accommodating. They have an overall awareness of their classes as a whole and the needs of the individual students while in the class. This is all very comforting as a mother. You should join, it’s great. Great teachers, super organized, clean, studio smells good, fresh air with open doors, easy check in and Master Austin does a great job managing his staff and the studio.”
- Isis W.
★★★★★
“This place is very special. My children have been going for two years and the impact on our lives is positive and real. Master Austin lives and breathes what he teaches - the instructors are there because they want to be, it's a family. I wouldn't go anywhere else.”
- Monica B.
★★★★★
“I have 2 girls (ages 3 & 6) and they absolutely love their martial arts classes! My kids are getting more coordinated, they're listening better at home, and the oldest is always being praised at school for her great attitude. I give all the credit to the programs at the Dojo.”
- Dara C.
★★★★★
“We did a trial class at MAFF, and were incredibly impressed with Master Austin and the other Senseis. They speak to the children on a level they can understand, while always treating them with respect and patience. My boys love to punch and kick as much as the next kid, but what keeps us coming back is the emphasis on speaking to other people, treating peers with respect, being respectful at home and at school.”
- Justina P.
★★★★★
“My 7 year old daughter has been a student here for about a year. She is learning a lot of discipline and self defense. I also notice that they do a lot of meditation and stretching in the kid's training, as well as life lessons about their 5 values : courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit. And my kid has lots of fun. I recommend it!”

“I am so thankful to the wonderful instructors at MAFF for all that they teach my 7 year old son in the Dragons program. He’s not just learning great physical skills, but important character skills as well! It’s awesome how the things that we talk about at home get reinforced in the dojo.”
