We have had a great experience with REAL Martial Arts over the past couple of years. My son Alex started when he was 5 as a Little Dragon and just recently moved up to Junior Beginner this March, it’s been awesome to see his growth. What really stands out are the instructors. They’re welcoming to both kids and parents, and they strike the right balance of being disciplined without being intimidating. They know how to connect with the kids and keep them engaged, which is no small feat. The classes are well-structured, focused, and fun and more importantly, they go beyond just teaching techniques. There’s a clear emphasis on building character, confidence, and leadership. The instructors consistently tie what the kids learn on the mat to real-life situations, whether it’s self-defense, handling bullying, or just becoming a better, more disciplined person. You’ll often hear them say, “It’s only hard until it’s easy,” and it’s a message that really sticks with the kids (and honestly, with me too). The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which you notice right away and appreciate as a parent. It also genuinely feels like a community, not just a class. Alex enjoys it so much that he even attended their summer program last year, which says a lot. Couldn’t recommend REAL Martial Arts more. It’s been a great environment for Alex both on and off the mat.

I’ve known Paul since 2005, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and principled martial arts instructors I’ve ever met. Paul and his team are not only experts in their field, but they are true educators who understands youth development, discipline, confidence-building, and real-world self-defense. RealMA's approach is thoughtful, structured, and grounded in respect—for students, families, and the broader community. What stands out most about Paul, his team and his school is the culture they protect. This is a positive, inclusive, and values-driven environment where people from all backgrounds are welcomed and held to a high standard of respect. That kind of leadership matters, especially when working with kids. If you’re looking for high-quality martial arts instruction combined with integrity, professionalism, and real life skills, RealMA is exactly the kind of place you want to be. I recommend without reservation.

I first joined Real as an out of shape dad looking to keep active and learn a new skill. What I did not expect was the impact it would have to my life beyond just physical health. Sensei Paul has been instrumental in my personal development by the way he has complimented his coaching and teaching of martial arts with lessons around overcoming adversity anywhere in life. The 'mat chats' at the end of class are just as powerful to the martial arts journey as his technical teachings. I knew straight away this school was also a must for my children, where these values are consistently demonstrated by the caring and positive coaching staff - while still holding every student to a high standard. These are the type of role models we all need, no matter the age. Although we've unfortunately relocated, Real will always be an important part of our lives and we will continue to seek out their high standards on our martial arts journey.
