Kickboxing is tough but so motivating! Could not believe how much fun it really is.
Had the pleasure of training at Horizon martial arts for almost 20 years top-notch instructors
Both my boys train under Datu Hartman. It's been over 11 years since we started and I am so glad I signed them up for martial arts at HMA. They have classes for all ages, kids to adults, and it is the best place to learn self defense. My boys really love the stick sparring and grappling classes. They have learned skills that will carry on into adulthood and I know they will keep training for many years to come. I'm so proud of their many accomplishments over the years of training at HMA!
I've been going to HMA for almost 2 years for the Fitness Kickboxing. I love it. I feel stronger after class and it's so much fun to participate. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get fit.
Truly one of the best martial arts places we have brought our kids. The style is perfect for kids of all ages and it is applicable to real life situations. Unlike some martial arts places that's all about form and looking pretty. The kids actually learn how to mitigate situations along with various styles of defense.
A great school, with fantastic world class martial artists
Datu Hartman is the best instructor. I was taught under him when I was younger and now my son is learning from him. He is very patient with the kids and my son loves going every week. I would highly recommend this school.
I have trained at quite a few dojos over the years and HMA is truly top of the list - facilities and instruction.
