Our Martial Arts Classes

We’re so happy Kobayashi opened up in our community. It’s a clean, organized, and welcoming studio. The owners(sensei summer, & Manie) are always there teaching and nurturing the students, which is not always the case for most studios. My son’s confidence, self-esteem, and skills grow with each class, and he never says he doesn’t want to go:) Also, I’m super happy they’ve added jiu-jitsu to the classes!

So glad I found this place! My daughter has been wanting to try karaoke for a while and so far having a great experience with it. Sensei Summer is always warm and encouraging. Everyone goes above and beyond. Love the location and clean dojo. Best part is seeing my daughter’s confidence grow!!

We have 2 kids in the little dragons program. There is a perfect balance of self-discipline and life skills with foundational training. Manie and Summer are so great and patient with the kids. Highly recommend!

Could not be happier with this studio. Staff is exceptionally friendly and inviting, the communication and opportunity for growth the students are provided is unmatched. I’ve seen my child’s self-esteem, motivation , focus and endurance grow during our time at Kobayashi— we are thrilled and so incredibly grateful to be part of this martial arts family.

This is one of the best studios we have ever experienced! The Sensei’s make the space so kid friendly with their experience. Our son continues to thrive in their classes. I have recommended this to all my friends and will continue to do so.

I can’t say enough great things about this martial arts school! From the moment we walked in, Summer, the owner, and her husband made us feel so welcome. They run this small business with passion, care, and dedication, and it really shows in every class.

The instructors are skilled, patient, and fantastic with students of all levels. They focus not only on martial arts techniques but also on building discipline, respect, and confidence. My child has grown so much since joining, both physically and mentally, and it’s been amazing to see their progress.

This is more than just a martial arts school—it’s a warm, supportive community. If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about your personal growth, fitness, and well-being, this is it.

Supporting small businesses like Summer’s makes a real difference, so if you’re thinking about martial arts for yourself or your kids, give them a try—and be sure to tell your friends! Highly recommended!

Program & Pricing FAQs

What's the catch?

We believe in providing value first and letting your experience with us speak for itself. We hope your two-class trial gives you enough value that, whenever you’re ready to take the next step — now or in the future — you’ll think of us. Sounds fair?

Why are you doing this?

Because we understand that every child and everyone learn and develop skills differently. Each with their strength, weakness, and unique challenges. Our 2-days trial class gives us a chance to learn about your child and you a chance to experience our program risk-free.

My child isn't athletic. Can he/she still participate in martial arts?

Absolutely. Martial Arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities develop them even more.

Are these Martial Arts classes fun?

Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.

Can Martial Arts cause injury?

Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because Martial Arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.

Do you have to be in good shape to take Martial Arts?

Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.

Is Martial Arts violent?

No! Because self-defense technique is taught in Martial Arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind Martial Arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.

What's a good age for a child to start Martial Arts?

Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.
