Blue Ridge Martial Arts Academy offers programs for everyone. Lil Dragons for the youngsters, karate classes for all ages, and kickboxing for anybody wanting to burn some major calories and get in shape. Not only are the instructors very knowledgeable of the martial arts, they are all excellent mentors and role models to the children and adults alike. Sensei Burns cares deeply about every one of his students just like they are his own children. In my time there of only two years I have seen many positive transformations of students from noticeably improved self confidence and self discipline to something as profound as overcoming physical and mental handicaps. I came to the dojo to train and to further build upon my martial arts background, never expecting I would gain such a supportive family. This place has truly become a second home to me and for that I am extremely grateful.
