We enrolled our 6 1/2 year old son in karate following several friends telling us how much they liked Ryer Martial Arts Academy. My son was reluctant and really gave me a hard time about going. It took him a few months to get used to the routine but now he very much enjoys his classes and we increased the frequency of them to twice per week. The staff and instructors are amazing individuals! They are responsive, caring, firm when needed and appropriate. Whenever I have had a question, concern or comment, they have always responded quickly and thoroughly. My son is really flourishing under their guidance and direction. I highly recommend this studio.
