We are so happy that our 7 year old joined the Tiger Squad at Mr. Fike's Dojo. Everyone in the dojo has been great. The instructors are patient and they do a fantastic job making sure all the children get one on one attention. We did not know what to expect at first, but after watching a class, we realized their activities are not only safe, but they are building blocks for self-confidence and discipline. We're truly impressed!

Such a blessing. Your karate school has personally given me years of wonderful memories and knowledge. I hope all your new families and students experience the same joy.

Darrian has been going to Fike's Dojo since he was 5 years old now he's 14 years old. In the last 9 years in have watched my son grow up to be a well rounded young man, he trained under and grew up with these kids. Darrian looks forward to going in on Tuesday and Thursday to help train the younger kids, he gets a joy out of helping. Darrian wants to use his martial art training in his career when he gets older and I know his training will take him far.

Fike's Madison Combined Martial Arts is a wonderful place not only for kids to learn martial arts but to learn the wholesome values that are so lacking in today's society. Every instructor truly cares about the students and works with each one's individual needs, no one is left out.

Our son has been taking karate lessons for about 1 year now and he really enjoys it! The Owner and Sensei's are great teachers, exposing students to different styles of martial arts and explaining history or reason why they are learning it. There are high expectations, but also allow the students to have fun and learn as they go. We are so glad a program like this exists—my son is learning more than just karate, but how to listen, work with a partner/team, and respect!

My brother and I were students at Madison Combined Martial Arts in the '90s. Today my daughters are students. Karate is a meaningful discipline. Respect and practice are important here yesterday and today. Mr. Fike and the other teachers do a great job and make it fun for the kids. It's about being part of a family here where everyone is welcome.

A few months ago we decided to enroll our two boys (8y and 10y) into this program. We had recently transitioned from the public school system to homeschool and wanted to make sure the boys continued to interact and socialize with other kids. In just the last two months, our boys have learned so much and I cannot speak more highly of Mr. Fyke, his staff and the program they have put together. The team here does an incredible job of teaching discipline, respect, fitness, responsibility and much more. They not only cover multiple martial arts practices (judo, jujitsu, karate), but they also strongly promote personal development and social responsibility. Our boys love coming to class, and we are enjoying seeing them learn and grow so quickly. We would highly recommend coming to try a class whether for yourself or your children this is a great place to be and well worth a visit!

I have learned so much as I watch my grandson take classes with the Tiger Squad in Fike's Martial Arts Program. He loves it and has so much fun learning moves to help protect himself and others, all with strict discipline, history, the why, the how of things, and respect being taught as well. His teachers, Mr. Fike, Josh, Tyler teach with heart - kindness, helpfulness and make these classes fun and the kids laugh a lot, and yet know when to be serious about what is being taught. These people make it like an extended family by the way they act and teach. If I was younger, I would take classes in a heartbeat, and am always talking about how great this program is at school and with friends. There are so many benefits coming here no matter how old you are. Thank you to all of you there for making this possible.
