“Our son has tried nearly every sport and has never been more focused while interacting with coaches/instructors than he has with Zach (owner) and staff. The classes are a great workout but just as important Zach engages directly with students, encouraging and refocusing students when necessary.”

Phenomenal experiences across the board from owner to students supporting each other to parents positivity. Mr. Kaufman is hilarious with the kids and so dedicated. Cannot say enough good things!”

Our son has gone twice now, and loves it. I’ve not seen him so engaged and interested in any other activity. Zach (the owner) has an extremely engaging and friendly personality, with an abundance of passion for what he does, and these were both plainly evident when I hung out to observe my son’s first “real” class.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts programs

Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Brighton kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!

That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Brighton martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.

No way! Some folks come to us who have never exercised in their lives. Others have athlete-levels of fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts — everyone starts at the same place. And although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. There’s no ego here in our Brighton kids and adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.

There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some folks have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness. 

It’s not about getting to black belt, it’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out. 

And our instructors here at Way of Life Martial Arts Brighton are committed to you every step.
