Karate Classes & Martial Arts Classes in La Crosse, Wi – Experts in Character & Leadership Development through Martial Arts Training
We can really see a difference in Shane since he started here. He listens better and is more focused. Sometimes he surprises us when he will do things right away instead of fighting with us. He loves his teachers and has great respect for them. When Mariah does something she really puts her all into it. She loves this. We really hope we can rearrange her schedule so she can stay with it. She loves her teachers and has great respect for them.

Martial Arts America has top-notch instructors. You can tell they enjoy what they are doing just by watching their instructions with their students. Consistency and routine are so important for most kids and you’ll find it here. Besides, the self discipline, focus and forms found in most martial arts curriculums, students are taught special skills, manners and respect. They are encouraged to push themselves “just a little more” and not settle for mediocrity or whatever comes easy. These things are emphasized at every class, not just as a “theme” for the week or month. Also, students are embolden to use these skills at home, in the classroom and in every aspect of their lives. The instructors at Nicklaus’ Martial Arts America are great role models because they practice daily everything they expect of their students, they lead by example. It helps us, as parents, when things children learn at home are reinforced in other areas of their lives.

Robby has always been a great kid but martial arts have helped him become an exceptionally great kid from the first class! He has become more respectful and courteous. He has shown that he can focus so much better on his school work and reading and just about everything he does. His self confidence level has improved considerably as he has learned that his mind and body can do things that he didn’t know he could do. I feel that I have become a better parent also just by listening and watching him in class. I have also learned to do things I didn’t believe I could do and I have gained a lot of respect for my children and my family. Robby is gaining more confidence in his abilities by being a martial arts instructor to us. Showing us how to do moves helps him understand how and why the routines are done a certain way. I am very impressed by the confidence and respect shown by the students and young instructors.

I really like how the kids are learning from multiple black belt instructors for a well rounded learning experience. It’s helped my son to push himself to be focused on his goal to be a little better as well as do his best every class. The karate instructors reinforce positive character building qualities that I teach at home. It’s great for my child to get that outside of home.

We have seen an improvement in our 6 year old daughter within the two months of being at Martial Arts America. She has focused more in class and become an even better student. She is willing to help out at home more. She has shown a great improvement with her honesty and her accountability. She has taken responsibility when she has made a mistake or a poor choice. She has shown us that she is making good choices which makes her feel good and proud of herself.

Since Jake has started martial arts I have seen some changes in him, good changes. He is more helpful around the house and he has really focused on staying fit and staying healthy. He was a shy child but this program has helped him come out of his shell. He has recently joined the leadership class and is motivated to become a black belt. It’s great to see your child set a goal and work hard to achieve it. This program has been great and we both look forward to the years to come.

My son has been learning martial arts for only a few months and I notice that he is showing some improvement in his focus and respect for others which he lacked before starting the martial arts studio. I also felt glad on my on being offered to try the leadership classes, which I very much appreciate and it shows how concerned the instructors are at improving the skills of every individual. My son tried this class and I too liked it and am certain that I will join my kid in the advanced training program in the future.
