Ascension Martial Arts - AMA — Local services in Oak Creek

I signed my 6 year old son up for the Little Dragons class in November of 2018. I originally heard about Acsension Martial Arts at the Oak Creek health fair in the fall of 2017. I was interested but wasn't sure if my son would be ready as he was just turning 5 years old. Fast forward a year later and I started looking into extra curricular activities for him because he is extremely active with A LOT of energy. I started reading reviews about Ascension Martial Arts as well as hearing wonderful things about it for both children and adults. We started out with a 3 class trial session for $25 to see if he would be a good fit for the Little Dragons class. They do this so that your child can meet the instructor and the instructor can get to know your child on a personal level. I think it is awesome that they do this because 6 months is a big and long commitment. We signed up for 6 months of classes that are held for 30 minutes twice a week. After just a couple of months I saw significant, positive changes in my son. Saying please and thank you, much more respect for myself, my husband and other people in general, especially adults! He tested and was rewarded by getting his high white belt before his 1st six months were over. I continue to see positive changes on a regular basis and couldn't be happier with the wonderful work Master Youn and Ma'am Kelly do with these kids!! Ma'am Kelly gets down on your child's level, speaks to them and relates to them as children and knows the children as individuals! When the children may be having an off day or have an excess amount of energy they adjust the class to the kids not the other way around. We are always welcomed by name when we arrive. This is truly a family friendly experience and environment. We just signed up for a 2nd 6 months of classes and I am extremely excited to continue to see positive changes in my son! They also have activities like parents night out for nominal fees. The last one was "nerf night". Ma'am Kelly plays with the kids while you go out for some adult time. My son is excited for the next one!! I wouldn't blink an eye at leaving him there as I know my child is in the awesome care of Ma'am Kelly. They also have an event called "coaches corner". This is an evening to spend with your child at the facility were you can do sparing and other activities using the facility equipment to have some fun with your child. We couldn't make the last one but absolutely won't miss the next one! I am also considering signing up for an adult class for myself. My only regret is that I didn't sign him up a year earlier. Thank you Master Youn and Ma'am Kelly for the wonderful work you do with...

This is where I began my search for a martial arts school for my girls - soon after it would become mine too. The first school called me 2 weeks after I already enrolled - the second school would not give me full details until I tried them - a mistake because now my kids wanted to join but had no clue of the financial obligations.

At last I called Master Youn. He not only gave me every detail but offered a custom trial. While not free, it was low enough for me to take the risk. At this point my guard was up and I looked at reviews like this one and the website to find one fault. The more I looked the more I liked. Specifically Ma'am Kellie's involvement as program director and a standing 4th degree black belt!!! This was awesome considering my girls would immediately relate to a successful woman and not find themselves without a role model (as it relates to this journey).

Lastly I stayed for a class where a parent was stuck answering my questions. I was intrigued to find out that not only did both of his kids enjoy the program but had exceeded with excellence. A key point because kids tend to get disengaged quickly. The cherry on top was the reality that an adult like myself could not only join but become part of a community - one that I would quickly...

I’m 66 years old and retired. After I got my Covid vaccination and was able to get out and about, I realized I had lost the spring in my step and was shuffling around like an old man. I decided that I didn’t want to spend my retirement in that condition, so I signed up for a 1-month trial membership at Ascension Martial Arts. In four short weeks I was feeling more limber, more alert, more balanced and stable, and I was again walking easily and confidently—more like my younger self. All the staff (and students) understand that I’m older and don’t share their range of motion. They adjust accordingly and help me work within my limits. I’ve completed my trial and signed up for full membership because I am where I need to be. I know that I cannot stop the aging process, but I can certainly slow its effects and feel awesome as I do. I highly recommend Ascension Martial Arts to anyone of any age. I’ve observed how the teachers work with children, teens and adults, and we are all receiving...
