THE MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL IN BOARDMAN & AUSTINTOWN THAT TURNS STUDENTS INTO CHAMPIONS

My 3 children enjoy there martial arts training class they learn a lot of different techniques and i think It is great i chose For them to try it out master rouzzo is awesome 10/10 must have your kids try it out best decision I’ve ever made

Love this place my kids loving it, and they are definitely doing some good impact on their lives

My grandson Liam has been attending MATC for a few years now. I believe this training has helped him greatly. More focused, disciplined and in more control of his body and more balanced. Master Richie has been a great teacher. Liam is able to understand and pick up exactly what he is taught quickly. I can’t wait to see Liam progress thru the years. Great school!

Excellent! My son started the little dragons class with Master Ruzzo. The instructors are very patient with the kids & very kind. He has learned everything from discipline to self-defense moves. Highly recommend anybody who wants to start the little ones off my son has learned and grew so much from their teachings.

Master Ritchie is a wonderful taekwondo instructor along with the other instructors at the center. My son has learned so much and this has been great for his coordination and focus. I would highly recommend this facility for families looking to get their kids involved with martial arts.

Master Ritchie is wonderful with the kids. He is completely devoted to teaching self defense to the students. My kids are 13 & 8 and they love going to class and I feel is has really helped to build more self confidence in themselves.

A great place to learn all the skills that make responsible members of society - as well as the skills that are 'artful'! Master Ritchie is indeed a 'Master', and the pace of the multi-level class is a pleasure to watch.

Master Tom Ritchie is great with his students. He takes the time to help each individual to make sure they can be the best they can be.

This school is amazing. I have a 6 year old son with autism. Before finding Master Ritchie and this school I was discouraged. My son has challenges. He stims (flaps his hands, spins in place, shakes his head around), he was behind his peers on his dexterity, he easily has meltdowns, he had weak hand and arm muscles. Team sports like baseball, football ect. were a "no" because coaches thought the extra time they would need to spend with my kid wouldn't be fair to the other children. And my son would need extra help. I still wanted my son to have a physical activity he could enjoy! I found Master Ritchie who wasn't intimidated by the word "autism". He told me "Yes, he can do it." He worked privately with my son for months. Next thing I know my son is in class with his peers doing all of the moves, following directions! SITTING IN CLASS WITH HIS PEERS. This is huge for us. The other teacher Sabrina is wonderful as well. She has an endless patience about her. I have never seen her show any frustration or impatience with a student. Her and master Ritchie have found a wonderful balance between structure and patience. My son has responded to them beautifully. If you are looking for a school with a positive, patient and encouraging environment I highly recommend you try this training center. Not only do these kids learn really cool kicks but they learn to never quit, to focus, to be patient and kind. I just have loved our experience so far! Can't wait to watch my son continue to improve!

Master Tom Richie is a great instructor. My son started at age six. He is now twelve years old and will be taking his test soon to become a second degree black belt. I love how it has helped him to become a respectful and confident young man . I also like that Tom encourages them to do their best at everything they do. I would recommend it to any new student.

Master Ritchie is amazing. My daughter LOVES his classes. Sabrina and Anthony are also great in assisting with teaching. My daughter started out in June, very shy and timid, but she warmed up very quickly at this school. She receives her yellow belt tonight, and is looking forward to achieving each belt, ultimately her black belt. We could not be more proud. Enrolling Kinley, aka Kiki, in these Martial Arts classes, was the very best decision we could have made. Thank you to Master Ritchie for all of his hard work, patience, and passion for these classes and these students. God bless!

Martial arts is good for children. It teaches confidence, discipline, respect. My 11 year old daughter has been working with Master Ritchie for 4 years and sincerely has a love and passion not just for the sport but for his kids.
