See What Our Community Members Say About Our Programs
All of the instructors are wonderful and it is such a positive environment. I love being able to watch my daughter's confidence and skill grow. She loves it so much that now her dad is taking classes with her. It is such a great bonding experience.
Our son loves going to YMAFA! He has learned so much from discipline to having more confidence in himself! I highly recommend!
From the first time Lily experienced a one on one class w/ Master Chris, she showed obvious signs of increased Focus and Balance. Prior to starting Little Dragons, Lily needed help with both of these skills. In 5 short weeks, Lily has decided that her goal in life is to be a Black Belt like Master Chris! As a parent, we always want the very best growth opportunities for our children. We are so excited to see her progress as she works towards her goal and we know made the right decision for our child’s life. Thank you YMAFA
