Brian Nefferdorf
“Excellent instructors that will teach more than just karate. Self Discipline, teamwork, and perseverance just to name a few. Both of my children attend classes and are working hard to work their way up to Black Belt. I have complete confidence in Master Marvil, and his staff, and wouldn’t consider any other martial arts in the area.”
Rachel Lucente
“My 8 year old has been going to Master Marvil since he was 5 years old. It’s been amazing to see his growth, both in his martial arts skills and his abilities in being disciplined and focused. All the instructors are great with the kids and do an amazing job talking to the kids about the meaning of respect, discipline, perseverance, self esteem and diligence. Beside the flexible class schedule they offer, they also often organize many fun social activities for the kids, like contest and parties. Thumbs up all around!”
