My daughter Lilly goes to Champions Martial Arts, and it's done wonders for her self-confidence. Even one of her teachers noticed a difference in her, and pointed out that she seems much more happy and positive. Thank you to Coach Carlos and his staff for the excellent work they do! Less

Our son has been attending Champions for the past two years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the impact it has had on him. The instructors are not only skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and encouraging. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, discipline, and physical abilities. He looks forward to every class, and the positive, structured environment has helped him develop being more focused. We truly appreciate the dedication of the entire team at Champions and highly recommend them to any family looking for a supportive and high-quality martial arts program! Less

I recently brought my team of mental health counselors to a self-defense workshop hosted by Carlos Tearney, owner of Champions Martial Arts, which was an exceptional self-defense and personal protection training experience. This is not just about learning techniques—it’s about building confidence, awareness, and real-life preparedness in a way that felt empowering rather than fear-driven. Carlos and his son, James, created a safe, engaging, and professional learning environment where every participant felt supported, regardless of experience level. They have a remarkable ability to balance the intensity of the topic with sensitivity, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable while gaining essential, life-saving skills. Beyond the practical training, this was one of the best team building experiences for our group. The energy in the room was incredible, and every single person walked away feeling stronger and more prepared. The feedback from my team was overwhelmingly positive—people left feeling empowered, grateful, and far more confident in their ability to protect themselves. This training is a must for individuals and teams alike. Whether for personal empowerment or as a unique, high-impact team-building experience, bringing your team to train with Carlos is a decision you won’t regret. His expertise, professionalism, and ability to connect with people make this a training everyone should experience. Highly recommend—thank you, Carlos and James! Less
