The classes they run
“I highly recommend them, as an adult who actively takes classes and also a parent whos children are also actively involved in learning Karate.”
“I can say for sure that Synergy is the right choice for beginners and even intermediate students moving from class to class.”
“I attend Sensei Bob's weekly Krav Maga class because I am interested in self-defense and not being helpless if a bad situation arises.”

From the reviews
I’ve been a student with Synergy before they moved to the new location. I roughly have 4 active years since 2016. I can say for sure that Synergy is the right choice for beginners and even intermediate students moving from class to class. Synergy has classes suitable for any experience level.
I'm taking the Sunday 8:30 am Tai Chi and the Thursday 7:30 pm Counterstrike Krav Maga classes. Instructors are engaging and personable, making it easy to ask questions. As a beginner I definitely feel challenged and encouraged to work outside my typical comfort zone to achieve better results.
I took my boys to learn Krav Maga and ended up taking the class myself, we liked it so much that the following week I brought my girlfriend and her son. We all absolutely LOVE the class & we are learning to defend ourselves in very difficult situations. Everyone at every age should be taking this class.
My daughter has been a student here for the last several years. I feel that it has been a great experience for her as she develops her martial arts and grows in confidence. The classes are well-structured and it caters to multiple skill levels.
New to Karate? Start at Synergy Martial Arts
Synergy Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Synergy Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
