We have been going to pro martial arts now for several years. My now 12 year old son is a red belt. This program has made a huge difference for him. They focus on character building and not just physical stuff. I know they have made a significant impact on who my son has become and will continue to become as he gets older. He is a better person because of this program. He is also smaller and I know what he learns here gives him a level of confidence in life. I cannot say enough great things about Damien and Kara who run it. Caring, professional, family.

We have been a part of Master Hannahs Pro Martial Arts for almost a year now. We have loved every minute! Our son is excited to go to class, to learn new skills and to reach the goals associated with belt testing. The program teaches kids about respect and self-discipline. Master Hannah is very easy to communicate with, as is the rest off the team! We couldnt be happier with Master Hannahs Pro Martial Arts! 10/10!

My 6-year-old son has grown so much in many different ways! He has matured and become much more responsible! He loves the program! I’m thankful they require masks during this time so he can still safely participate!

We started at PRO Martial Arts-Kenwood in the fall of 2020. Our son started in their Little Rhinos program. He loved coming so much that his older brother joined him when he moved to the white belt classes. Its such a great place--the instructors are awesome and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend PRO Martial Arts to anyone looking for an activity for their children. Its teaching them hard work, discipline and patience. They also love working towards their new belts.

My son cries when he has to play ball sports. He’s skinny, introverted, and a couch potato. I’ve been looking for something that would get him moving without tears! This was everything I wanted for my 7 yrs old and more! He absolutely loves it and looks forward to going! It’s teaching him respect, discipline, self-defense and so much more!

We started this as a 2 week special and have been apart of the PMA family for 4 months now. This has been the most positive experience for my son and our family. They really take the time to get to know each family and the child. Landon has had a major improvement in his manners, positive thinking and his helpfulness around the house.Thank you so much PMA for being such an amazing gift to us!

I saw the sign for Master Hannah’s Pro Martial Arts studio one day, and decided to finally realise my dream of learning karate. I’d wanted to since seeing Karate Kid all those years ago when I was 10. I reached out via the website and had an instant response. I was told I could do a two week trial and get a free uniform. What was there to lose?? I remember nervously going for my first class. Looking around, I saw everyone was fit and flexible, and I was recovering from two years of no real exercise due to a heart condition. “I don’t belong here” was my thought for all of three seconds before Ms Kara came out and made me feel exactly like I did belong. She helped me get my uniform on, taught me patiently how to tie my belt etc, and from the second I clumsily tried my first kick, she and Master Damien had nothing but encouraging words. I left that class certain of two things; this was the place for me, and I was definitely signing up.What made me return to this Dojo was simple. When I walked away that day, I remember thinking how Master Damien and Ms Kara made me feel human, like I belonged, like there was absolutely nothing I couldn’t do or learn. They are both so kind, patient, understanding, and whenever you need to reach out, they are responsive and helpful. Never once have I felt silly or like I couldn’t do the workouts. Patience and grace and kindness do go such a long way. I am from NYC where classes like theirs cost the same PER HOUR as these ones do for a whole month. I have trained in places that made me feel less than, that looked at me like I was a beginner at exercising and working out, that treated me patronisingly when I said I used to run, box, swim, cycle every day - all because of how I looked. From the minute I walked in to Master Hannah’s Dojo, I knew it would be different. Joining was the best decision I have ever made, and I am proud to call myself a student. I enjoy every class, all the instructors are amazing, and every student there is treated with the utmost respect. I could never recommend them highly enough.

PRO Martial Arts and Kara, Damien, and David have been life changing for our son!! He has learned so much in all areas of his life from them! He had sensory challenges and karate has definitely helped with this. Karate used so many muscle groups that help give extra stimulation. His confidence and resilience are amazing due to this. He is rewarded for hard work and at 8 understands that if you work hard you can accomplish anything. These are life lessons we couldnt have taught him alone! In a different sport he was practicing up a level at a very hard practice. He said his muscles hurt so bad but he said I dont give up on things anymore! What an amazing quality!!! The instructors are amazing, resourceful, and like family! They figured out streaming karate classes on Zoom within a few days of quarantine! They SAVED us!!! Our son did 6 classes a week during quarantine on Zoom. This gave him exercise, normalcy, a chance to see others- it was AMAZING!!! I cant say enough how amazing our experience has been, I would recommend PMA to ANYONE!!!!

I cant speak highly enough about Ms Kara and Master Damien and everyone at PMA. they do a tremendous job working with the kids, and keeping everyone motivated. as a family we have seen growth in responsibility, communication, and manners. 10/10 would recommend.

I was looking forward a martial arts program after my daughter decided to take a break from high school sports and found an amazing place at PMA. Kara guided us through the teen program details which was a great fit for her- the location, the multitude of time options and the chance to meet new friends while gaining strength and confidence. Every question answered and went the extra mile to make her feel comfortable with encouragement along the way. Great option for teens looking to build discipline and self esteem. Best decision for her!!!

Yes, They have been a key part of my son growth with using manners and helping around the house even when not asked to. He loves going to class and he is always practicing kicks and blocks around the house. If you are thinking about putting you kids in this program then the look is over they are great with bringing discipline to kids everyday life even outside of the dojo.

I continue to be so grateful for the help and guidance Pro Martial Arts has helped my son grow into who he is today. He has been a student since 3rd grade and is now a 10th grader working on his 2nd degree Blackbelt. We are especially thankful for the character education he has received from being a part of this awesome program!

Our son had great success in the little rhinos program developing discipline and focus.

My husband and two sons have been part of the family class for about the last six months and they absolutely love it! They are eager to go to class, to learn and to improve. This is the first extracurricular activity that has really captured their attention. On top of that Master Damien, Ms. Kara and Mr. David are great teachers!

I was in Taekwondo when I was younger and I really wanted to get back into martial arts (as well as introduce my 9 year old son to it). I had been looking for a Martial Arts school that was more than just basic fitness course or constant sparring. Pro Martial Arts was perfect. The instructors are always very friendly and very knowledgeable. They take the time to really teach form, technique and purpose, not just fighting. When they say they are a family, they mean it as well. They have taken the time to learn about me and my son, what our goals are, and really work to tailor specific instructions to help us get better, not just teach a cookie-cutter class. This is an excellent school and I highly recommend it.

I would like to share with you what my family received in these past 4 years: support, strength, commitment, but most importantly a place where you can feel respected, accepted and empowered.Our relocation to Cincinnati 6 years ago was very difficult for my daughter. She was 3 1/2 years old and she didnt want to speak, eat or play with other kids. She was sad and we were sadder. I didnt know what to do. I found Pro Martial Arts Kenwood by chance and decided to give it a try even though we were not used to martial arts of any kind. I met Kara Hannah and Damien Hannah and I immediately believed this would be a good place for her, but I couldnt anticipate how much we were going to be gifted with.Maia is almost 9 years old and she has become a strong girl, who feels that practice and discipline turn into achievements. She knows how to speak up or stand up if she faces a bullying situation, not only to herself but to others. Im more than grateful to Pro Martial Arts Kenwood and the two amazing people that are behind it.You might find other places to learn martial arts; but if you are looking for a place where your kids can learn values at the same time, this should be your choice.I will miss you guys.With all my love and respect,Carolina

My daughter is 3 years old and has done both the Kinder Kicks and the Little Rhinos classes and has had an absolute blast! The dojo is very clean and organized. The instructors are very knowledgeable, personable and professional- what a skill to be able to teach toddlers all the way through adults! I love the self-discipline, coordination and confidence she has built through her classes - she has really blossomed! Highly recommend!

My son, who was hesitant at first, has a great time coming here now. He has grown tremendously, both intellectually and physically. The program is great about reinforcing positive behavior and respecting others. This program has also helped his focus. The coaches are AMAZING! When my son had some changes going on in his personal life they immediately noticed and asked about it and helped him work through it in a productive way. As a parent, that personal touch of knowing their kids is appreciated.

The instructors have worked so positively with my son and he takes such pride in his progression. He is not into the typical sports so it is wonderful to see him enjoy a physical activity that works toward his personal development as well. I began doing their adult exercise interval class and it is a challenging, dynamic workout in a fun, positive atmosphere. The culture there is to always challenge and improve oneself, not outdo your peer.

Love this place. The instructors are great. I get a little stronger with each class... Im having a blast and making some new friends. So glad I joined. Its exactly what I needed to add to my work out routine.. :)

Kyle is in the leadership program and enjoys all that the program offers. Every week he improves his skills in Tang Soo Do. He is becoming more confidant. He very much enjoys and respects his instructors.He looks so forward to his classes and the challenges of learning and being with the other students. I would highly recommend enrolling your child. It will teach them respect, concentration and the joy of learning a martial arts skill.

Great caring people that treat you like family. I had a spine injury 2 major spine surgerys in less then 1 year and severe nerve damage down my left leg that also left me with no use of my left leg. Have taken karate with miss Kara and Mr Damian for 2 years . The stretching and work out alone i was able to return to work with the help of a leg brace . They have help my sons self esteem and overall attitude we owe them so much words can not describe our thanks and dedication.

Pro Martial Arts is awesome!! My daughter loves the classes and the instructors are extremely patient with the children!

My son Nathan has been going to the Kenwood Pro Martial Art for over 3 years now. He simply loves it and thinks it is awesome. The head instructor, Mr. Damien, is excellent. He does a good job instructing the kids in their techniques as well as working with the kids to build their confidence. Nathan is getting his black belt soon, and intends to stay with the school for as long as he can.

My son loves going to Pro Martial Arts ...he goes almost 4 times a week and would go more if he could!!!The instructors are really friendly and work with the kids at their level.Not only is he learning Martial arts but also discipline , self control and positive attitude. The environment is very friendly but very professional at the same time. Cant recommend this place enough.

I have been attending the adult cardio kick-boxing classes for almost 3 years. There are four classes during the week and I always manage to at least attend two a week. They are always changing the routine to make it somewhat different each time. Never boring and keeps me in good shape. Instructors are very motivating. Bill Pittman

My son loves the lessons and coaches there. Not only the karate skill they learn is nice, much more important is the spirit my son learned there. More responsible, more self discipline. I love them as well.My little son can not wait to start the lessons!

My Son has been attending classes at Pro Martial Arts Kenwood since 2015. Master Damien, Miss Kara and Mr. David have been instrumental in teaching my son the true meaning of respect and honor. They also have engrained in him a level of discipline that is above and beyond that of his similarly aged peers. As a result of his training at Pro Martial Arts, my son has developed advanced levels of focus and self control. I couldnt be happier. I truly appreciate all you have done and continue to do.

Nothing but great things about the classes and the Instructors. My son is not only learning self defense but respect and self discipline as well. Ms Kara and Mr Damien do a great job with bringing out the confidence in the students. Thanks!!! Mr Ellison

Ive been taking cardio kickboxing classes for a few months and I absolutely love it! The instructors are amazing, very motivating and make class fun. Every class is different never the same. So glad I joined.

We have been very impressed with Pro Martial Arts - Kenwood. The instructors are fantastic! They are very dedicated, patient and make each class challenging but also fun for the students. Weve seen a huge increase in the confidence and leadership skills of our children in the 3 years weve been with Pro Martial Arts and would highly recommend it to anyone interested.

I have two sons that attend Pro Martial Arts. My oldest has been in attendance since the opening three years ago. With the assistance of Mr. Damien and Ms. Kara, he has found his voice. He is confident in his abilities AND the abilities of his peers. He is capable of standing up for himself and those who need help. He is focused on his training to be a black belt but the training he has received in life, is irreplaceable. I am thankful for the dedication and support from the staff at PMA.My four year old is now ready to enter preschool this year because hes spent the last few months practicing mind, body and eye focus. PMA is so much more than just karate.

My daughter has learned so much from the instructors at Pro Martial Arts Kenwood, not just about martial arts, but about how to work hard, be successful, and be a strong individual period. The instructors care about each student as a PERSON, not just a name on a class list. Miss Kara and Mr. Damien have helped my daughter grow into the leader that she is today, and I am beyond thankful for everything that they do. We are so happy with our decision to send our child here, and we encourage you to give it a try as well. We have never been disappointed in the 2 years that we have been sending our daughter here.

Highly recommend! Amazing staff and strong programming. Great option for a birthday party as well!

I purchased the $17.76 special online but the code did not go through so I was charged the full $69. I emailed and called ASAP to get the difference refunded. They wouldnt refund it but wanted to give me a credit. And charge me $25 each person to do it and said it will be next week before they can do anything. Then I tried to post on their Facebook page and was immediately blocked and my post deleted as soon as I posted it! I tried to write a review and it was blocked as well! This is not the type of business that I want to deal with or be examples for my children that is supposedly promoting morals and values! This is how Ive been treated before I ever have stepped inside their door!

My daughter has been attending PMA for a few months now and it has been a great and positive experience for her. Not only is it a fun challenging environment and a great way for her to stay physically active, she is also learning valuable life lessons(respect, positive attitude, hard work, leadership). As a father, the self defense and sparring techniques she is learning make me feel confident that if the worst case scenario were to occur that she would be better prepared than most to protect and defend herself. She loves her instructors who do a phenomenal job of teaching, explaining, giving positive reenforcement, and most importantly holding students accountable for their actions in the classroom. I would recommend PMA as a great outlet physical and mental for any child.

My son loves his instructors at Pro Martial. They definitely go above and beyond the call of duty to train kids. We have been going there for more than a year and we only have good things to say about PMA. My son made good friends at this dojo and he looks forward to go train every day. My son has learned values along with self-defense skills. PMA made him very independent and focused. This is the place to go if you want your kids to learn motivational life skills along with martial art techniques.

Our son, who is now 8, has been going to PMA Kenwood for over 2 years now and we cant say enough about our great experience there. Through PMA, he has gained self confidence, learned discipline, respect, focus, self driven goal setting, a sense of family and belonging. His time at PMA has provided exercise, physical therapy, a sense of belonging and a sense of family, all while having FUN!!

This space and review does not give enough justice to Ms. Kara, Mr. Damien and the PRO Martial Arts-Kenwood family. I call them family because they are very supportive and work together to benefit the kids who are attending the classes.My son, Sami, joined the group in 2014. He is a preemie, so he is smaller than his peers, and he was starting to catch up with them. My wife and I decided to join PRO Martial Arts Kenwood to give him a boost of confidence, work on his motor skills, have discipline and respect, and get stronger.I remember when Sami started he could barely jump and do many of the exercises that other kids were doing. After 2 years being there, Ms. Kara and Mr. Damien worked with Sami. He finished all the stripped belts and now he is in the solid belts phase. He has discipline, respect, strength, etc.I highly recommend joining PRO Martial Arts Kenwood. Great people, great program, great family, and very beneficial to your kids.
