EXCELLENT Based on 239 reviews Phil WhitmerMay 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Strecker has the gift of coaching children martial arts with incredible enthusiasm. My son is very soft-spoken and shy with confidence issues and he has grown so much in the past six months under Mr. Strecker's instruction. I highly recommend this community to any family looking for an opportunity to add some physical activity to their children's lives as well as learn to incorporate more discipline, focus, and intention into your parent/child relationship.

My son has been attending Mastery martial arts class for a four months now, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only has he developed physical strength and discipline, but the class has really helped him come out of his shell. He used to be quite shy, but the supportive and positive environment have given him the confidence to express himself and try new things. It’s amazing to see how much he looks forward to each session. I couldn’t be more grateful for the impact this program has had on his growth and self-esteem. mariana acostaApril 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s been a great experience coming to Mastery. Denny is a great leader and life coach for the kids!

We joined Mastery Martial Arts a little over a year ago and have seen such a change in both our boys and our parenting. There are life lesson and skills incorporated into every lesson. Mastery Michigan is so much more than a karate school. While the students' are encouraged to master their karate skills, there is even more of an emphasis on them becoming better people, with independence, self-awareness, and the ability to be leaders in every situation. We cannot wait to watch our boys continue to develop and become the best versions of themselves. Patrick WatsonMarch 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family has been a part of Mr. Strecker's program for about a year, starting under the Prestige name and making the amazing move into the Mastery Martial Arts program. We enjoy the benefits for our family with the Mastery program including the life lessons that are incorporated into every class. Mastery even goes so far as to have Mr.Russo (an instructor from their original mastery school) visit which adds to the value of Mr. Strecker's teachings. There is remarkable change with our two boys because of the concentration on communication in class and using the taught life skills everyday, while using martial arts as the tool to teach these skills. We look forward to see them continue to grow in this program. Jessi AdamsMarch 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mastery is not just about karate and learning awesome moves. The biggest focus is growth and preparation for becoming independent and successful in anything the kids set their mind too. We have been with mastery almost 2 yrs now and it has made a huge difference at home with the kids. They have become more helpful around the house, more responsible with their school work, and less tantrums when they don’t get their way. Cory HeckMarch 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family started with Mastery in 2021 and we have seen growth each and every year since, not only in skill but in confidence and abilities to handle tough situations. Mastery's format teaches life skills, self-confidence and how to be better people all through karate as the avenue to do so. Watching these young people come in and grow and achieve success through belt rank over the years is amazing and still exciting to watch. We looked at plenty of different schools before we settled on Mastery, which was choosen based on their teaching style and class format. We are not disappointed with the results and you won't be either. Shirley ZhangMarch 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jai had the most incredible 7th birthday party at Mastery Martial Arts! The 90-minute celebration was non-stop fun, packed with action and energy from start to finish. The kids were fully engaged in martial arts activities, and the highlight moments truly made Jai feel like a star. Not only did he break a board with his bare hands — a huge confidence booster — but he also got to cut his birthday cake with a real samurai sword (with the help of the coach), which was unforgettable. It was such a unique and empowering experience for Jai and his friends. I can’t recommend Mastery Martial Arts enough if you’re looking for an exciting, memorable birthday celebration!
