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!

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!
