 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first joined Vital Martial Arts Academy for their summer camp - our 10 year old had a fantastic time. Vital is such a kind and caring teacher who engages the kids with so many fun activities that they don't want to leave at the end of the day! The kids in the summer camp and classes stay active, build confidence and learn tons of new wu shu and kung fu skills. Vital is a very talented teacher dedicated to Martial Arts and he is also truly dedicated to helping each child grow in confidence, discipline, and skill. VMMA is a very positive, family-like environment that we absolutely love. Highly recommend for summer camp and classes!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been taking Tai Chi and Qi Kung classes at Vital Martial Arts Academy and this experience has been truly rewarding. Training under Sifu Vitaly's guidance has given me a deeper awareness of my body and a renewed sense of general well-being in a way I didn't expect. I am amazed at how much energy the practise of Tai Chi and Qi Kung have given me. Sifu Vitaly is an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely invested in his students' progress. He also creates a supportive environment where you feel comfortable learning at your own pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn Tai Chi!!! I have also had the chance to see the Kung Fu classes for kids and they are fantastic! The kids are engaged, disciplined and learning new skills at the same time they are having tons of fun. Vital Martial Arts also offers a summer camp, which looks like a great option for parents who want something active and structured for their kids. Sifu Vitaly has over 20 years of experience working with kids. Any parent can feel confident that their children are in excellent hands with him leading the way. Overall, after being involved in  various  activities of this Academy  for a long period of time, I can say with certainty that this is a very solid place to train, whether you are an adult or looking for something for your children.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 4 year old just started classes here and she loves it.  Sifu Vitaly is very warm and patient and I can see that the kids here love him.  I wanted my daughter to do martial arts to improve her body awareness, coordination, listening skills, discipline, confidence and willingness to push herself and I can see she is getting all of these things here.  Very grateful to have found Vital Martial Arts Academy 🙏🏻
