Wonderful community, great school

14-04-2025 by Jon Ebersole

I met Marty nearly 20 years ago in the States. He just gave me a firm handshake, a bit of a laugh, and invited me onto the floor to do Karate, no fuss, no formality. Just genuine, honest teaching from a genuine, honest man. Since then we have been good friends, and he's been a mentor to me personally, professioanlly, and, of course, in martial arts. He has built a wonderful community and a great program, which I had the pleasure of working with both in States and on my visit to NZ. If you're looking for a place not only to learn martial arts but have a community to be a part of, something harder and harder to find these day, you will be right at home in this dojo!

Thanks Jon, It's crazy to believe it's been 20yrs? We've certainly had some fun over that time and we met some people from all kinds of walks of life.

Best Decision Ever!!!

I decided to go looking for a Karate class as an adult since I’d always wanted to learn as a kid but the classes I found then were too expensive. I am so happy to have found Marty and the team. Putting myself out there and walking into class that first time two years ago is the best decision I’ve made in my adult life. It has done wonders for my mental and physical health and I have seen a similar growth in my sister since I dragged her along with me. It’s a great space for kids and adults alike and Marty has gone out of his way to make it affordable for all family’s. Thank you so much to the whole team for the strength and confidence you’ve helped me cultivate and the great fun it’s been along the way!!!

Thanks Pippi, It's been a very enjoyable journey with you and your sister in class. Always a fun friendly smile and never afraid to try something new. Watching you both performing your drills in class recently showed how far you have come by trusting the process and focusing on the outcomes - you're both developing good skills in both the dojo and in life.

Give it a try

I meet Marty at a Mixed Martial Arts seminar, a few years back. A room full of talented martial artist and don't want to take anything away from anyone else that was there but got to touch hands with him a few times over the weekend. And was just in awe of his knowledge and just easy,relatable nature. Who happily made a few pointers that I hadn't considered. With a side of good banter. Have kept contact and he has always been open to making time for me to train with him and share his passion and art. (I just need more hours in a day and to be closer,and maybe not let life get in the way) But I always drive away with something new to consider and work on. But also has some good easy to follow videos but nothing compares to hands on. Passion, integrity, and just an awesome dude. So empty the cup and don't think of Olympic karate but learn some karate with a history but fits in the modern world.

Thanks Karl, It was a few years ago all right - 2016 if I recall. It's always been a pleasure to work with someone who thinks and analyses what they're doing. You know our doors are always open.
