PARENTS LOVE GOFORIT MARTIAL ARTS!

"My 11-year-old son is absolutely thriving at Go For It Martial Arts. He’s currently transitioning from a yellow belt to an orange belt and was even given the awesome call name 'Hollywood' by Joshu! The instructors truly make every student feel special while pushing them to be their best. My son looks forward to every class, and the growth in his confidence and skills has been incredible. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic martial arts school!

As a retired Army combat veteran, I truly value the discipline, respect, and focus that this school instills in its students. We couldn’t be happier with his progress and the supportive environment."

Conrad Hutson

"Go for It Martial Arts has done a great deal for my son. He has been attending the karate school for approximately 11 years. His instructors are amazing. They instill dedication, self-discipline, confidence, and focus into my son at an early age. Because of this karate school, he has grown tremendously. He has earned a level 2 black belt currently. All the teaching helped him a great deal in school, especially with focus, reaching deadlines and staying on task even if it gets challenging. My daughter has also been attending the school for 1 year now. It is doing wonders for her. We are extremely satisfied with Go For It Martial Arts and all they do for our kids."

Devika Doodnath

"I am truly impressed with the Dojo and the whole staff. My son has improved in school, has better focus and a better understanding of doing jobs around the house without being asked. He has improved with reading , and researching more Healthy ways of eating. I can not express how truly happy we are with making the decision to go to "Go for it Martial Arts."

Kathleen Dalbey

"My daughter has been taking Karate at the Crossbay location for a month. It has been such a wonderful experience. The instructor’s are excellent. A wonderful balance of fun and seriousness. It is amazing how all the other important lessons are also incorporated into the class, respect for family, work hard in school and don’t give up. They even have Birthday parties at the location if you chose to do so. Not much more you could want for your child. Knowing that my child can protect herself gives me peace."

Kelly Geoghegan

"Highly recommended! This is my first experience my kids and I have taking Karate and we are having such a great time. We started in August and we look forward coming back every time. I love how the school teaches the students not only karate but all the qualities needed to progress and succeed for the future. They also care very deeply for the education of the students. For me, I am learning to be more confident and obviously to get in shape again. I’m super surprised that I could start to do more things that I once could do when I was younger."

Shente Brown

"Both of my kids (5yo & 3yo) have been attending karate classes at Go Fot It Martial Arts for about 8months now. My son started couple months before my daughter, she was only 2. Seeing her big brother and all that he was learning, my daughter decided to potty train herself just so she can join!!!

In 2 short weeks (with very minimal effort from me) she was completely out of diapers and ready to start her classes! This dedication from a 2 year old shows just how great this place is, she couldn’t wait to be a part of Go For It family! Their focus, discipline and character building have changed tremendously! Highly recommend!!!"
