Joining this Christian martial arts program has been life-changing for my youngest son. It beautifully blends faith and discipline, teaching not just physical strength, but spiritual growth and resilience. The instructor is an inspiring mentor, instilling values of respect, humility, and courage. Each session is a journey of self-discovery and faith, empowering my son to overcome life's challenges with grace and determination. This program truly nurtures both body and soul, creating warriors of faith and integrity.

STEM martial arts is a single parent’s savior

I accepted Christ when I was 5-years-old. Now I am a single mother, raising three boys, and trying to ensure that they become men of good character and world changers with Christ in their hearts.

That’s not always easy in today’s society with the different messages that they’re getting from all different angles.

I feel so blessed to have found STEM Martial Arts to help and reinforce the foundation of biblical life skills that I want my five-year-old to demonstrate to the world.

The Positive reinforcement elements in STEM Martial Arts are helping me to reinforce excellent behavior in our home and outside of our home.

I love watching my little eagle ninja demonstrate biblical life skills to his big brothers and his friends in STEM Martial Arts and at places like the grocery store.

Thank you to my Lord and Savior for guiding me all these years and thank you to Mr. King for helping to guide my young son!

Jacob continues to thrive, develop, and grow under Mr King's guidance, support, dedication, and teachings. A year ago, Jacob had little self-confidence, and you would never hear his voice in class. Now he has both! Plus, better discipline, communication, and many other STEM Weekly words are worked on. His dream to get his black belt will happen under the help, guidance, and lessons under Mr King. I am so thankful for Stem Martial Arts. It has been truly amazing. I can not say enough good about Stem Martial Arts. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO EVERY FAMILY.

My 7 year old daughter has been taking class for the past couple weeks and loves it. John is phenomenal with kids and his program is top notch all around. From instilling self confidence through martial arts to developing their faith in Jesus and everything in between.

If I could give more stars I would. I don't think my words will be adequate enough to describe how amazing STEM Martial Arts is. This was the Martial Arts program I was looking for before I even knew it existed. I love everything they stand for. This Martial Arts is a Ministry, not a program. The founder and instructor, Mr. King, has a passion for reaching children through Martial Arts and the word of God. He offers his classes to at-risk and foster youth. Not only do the kids learn discipline and other life skills through their karate practice, but every week they showcase a specific biblical life skill during "mat chats" and they praise the kids for demonstrating the skill during the week at home. Mr King and all of his instructors are so kind and encouraging. All of them also talk to the parents. It definitely feels like home. And of course Mrs. King is the glue that holds it all together. I have texted her countless times with tons of questions and she was always so quick to respond and very kind. Although it is challenging, my son looks forward and is excited to go every week. I really can't say enough good things about Mr. King and STEM.

I am so thankful that my friend shared this group with me. Martial Arts had been recommended for son who is on the spectrum to help him with body control and self discipline. However I was reluctant about the other teachings that could come with Martial Arts. I love that this group is faith based teaching not only discipline of the body but God's discipline in love as well. Mr. & Mrs. King are fantastic with the kids. I highly recommend STEM!

Mr. King and all the instructors are amazing. Not only is my daughter learning martial arts, she is learning life skills, and how everything we do in life connects to our relationship with Jesus. We couldn't ask for a more fun, competitive, Christ-loving environment for her.

Too bad there isn't a 10. Mr. and Mrs. King are so amazing. From the way that Mr. King is creating our world's next leaders through consistency to Mrs. King keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. The positive energy that both bring to the program is absolutely awesome. Our family is truly grateful for finding STEM Martial Arts. Could not recommend enough.

Our twin boys have never been so devoted to something before like they are with STEM Martial Arts! They’ve been involved for 2 years, 2 times a week and only ever miss when sick! They look forward to working with and learning from Mr. King. The program focuses on each one’s’ individual abilities even though they have disabilities that set them apart from typical students. Our boys are always accepted as they come and feel the support and belief that they can do anything they set their minds to!
