TESTIMONIALS
What Happy parents are saying?
Our daughter has been going to MAA for about a month now. She loves it!! She is motivated at home to get her "homework" done each week. I see her randomly practicing around the house, so I know she is definitely getting something out of this. I really like that we don't have a set schedule. We can take her to class that fits our needs for the week. I feel like things are always changing for us, so not being limited to one specific day a week is really helpful even though we do our best to stay consistent. The instructors are all very nice and welcoming. For her age group, they keep it fun and engaging. I definitely recommend Martial Arts Advantage.

Martial Arts advantage is a great place for the whole family to train. The staff quickly become family. My children ages 4, 6, 10, and 12 all train here and have individual needs that are met by the instructors. Each child receives personal instructions when needed. All of the instructors are very professional and personable. Master D. is very experienced and it is privilege to train under such a dedicated practioner of martial arts. The depth of talent amongst the instructors is amazing. If you have children needing focused, flexible, and consistent activities this discipline or Taekwondo is highly recommended.

Our daughter currently attends classes at Martial Arts Advantage. During the short time we have been coming, we have noticed so much growth in her attitude and confidence. She is excited to go to class, especially when she’s with Ms. Savannah, and practice all of her new skills. Thank you for creating a safe, fun environment where she can be “tough” and learn about self control and protecting herself from harm.
- Kristin Harton
Really enjoyed my time with Martial Arts Advantage and learnt so much more than I could have ever expected! Sadly, I needed to withdraw my training due to health, but the staff was so accommodating, and I appreciate them keeping up with me in case I am able to return.
The instructors are all so wonderful and well educated in the art of Taekwaondo! They teach a great level of community, respect, discipline, courage, and how to balance mind and body while teaching really important self defense skills.
Thank you all and keep up the good work!

If you’re looking for a place that embraces you like family, then look no further. We’d stopped attending during the pandemic, and recently came back to help instill confidence in our children. What a difference a few months makes! Respect, discipline, and self-confidence are just a few of the noticeable gains that come with enrolling your children in martial arts, and I believe, at Martial Arts Advantage.
- Ashley Franklin
This is one of the best places for any child who needs a boost in self-confidence and self regulation. It should have six stars! The Owner is a highly trained martial arts professional who teaches the students critical, life long values in honesty, resilience and fitness. You can't do better. Any child struggling with physical, attentional or socially issues due to covid, school or home issues would truly benefit from Martial Arts Advantage's amazing team of professionals.

Final Words From Master Jack Desousa
What’s amazing about Taekwondo is how much it offers, far beyond just kicking and punching.
Yes, it builds physical strength through dynamic movement, powerful strikes, flexibility training, and cardiovascular endurance.
It also sharpens the mind, demanding focus, discipline, and constant learning.
And it’s exciting, it's practical, it’s a ton of fun.
But many of the deepest benefits can’t be seen right away. At its core, Taekwondo builds confidence, the real kind.
Not the kind you can fake, but the kind that comes from being pushed, from falling short, and from choosing to stand back up.
It’s built in the quiet decision to try again, to go one more round, to throw that kick even when you're tired and unsure if you’ll land it.
It cultivates a kind of inner strength, a resilience that follows you outside the gym, into your school, your relationships, your life.
As a student at Martial Arts Advantage Centerton, you’ll be tested, mentally, physically, emotionally.
And more often than not, you’ll surprise yourself with just how capable you truly are.
