This place is amazing. Sensei Dan and Sensei Mike really care about the students and are very knowledgeable in what they do here. When we started, my son was very hesitant, and it took multiple classes for him to become comfortable. Everyone was very patient with him, and let him ease in at his own pace. My son is 4 and has been going to Roc-MA for about 6 months. He just earned his third stripe yesterday! And he really did earn it. He has learned the value of hard work and practice, and seen how it pays off. Sensei Mike doesn't just hand out stripes and new belts just because. These kids

We have been going here for a little over 2 months and I couldn't be happier with them. They make you feel very welcomed and as if you are part of their family. The class size is on the smaller size which allows them to really focus on each kid and assess where they are in their belt progression and areas of improvement. My daughter (6) has gone from a nervous newbie to a brave little warrior!

I have 2 boys 8 and 12 years old. We are almost 2 years in now. Both Sensei are awesome teachers. I love seeing older kids are involved in helping younger kids. Kids get one on one training a lot, they keep them very busy all 45 minutes. Very positive attitude, nice and welcoming atmosphere. My kids love to come and they looking forward to upcoming tournaments.

My boyfriend was student number one and has come back for visits from Texas ever since. The staff is friendly, patient, and caring. The instructors are also very knowledgeable and have a mentality of quality over quantity.

I started the fitness class a few months ago, and I love it. There are a variety of workouts and it never gets boring. It's like having a personal trainer at my disposal. Working out with a group helps me to push harder than I ever have. I highly recommend that you check out Roc MA, Mike and Dan have been great.
