Ripple Effect Martial Arts - Fleming Island, Florida

Sarah Ashe-Duenas

Ripple Effect has changed my son for the better in many ways. He was lacking self confidence and assertiveness which he now has plenty of to walk proud and confident. He has learned verbal judo and has had to use those skills with bullies at school this year. He is now part of a local demonstration team and an international demonstration team!! Thanks to the circle of support Ripple and the families of all the students provide!

I can’t say enough good things about Ripple Affect Martial Arts! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and part of a community. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach. They focus on not just the physical aspects of martial arts but also on building confidence, discipline, and respect.

The variety of classes offered caters to all skill levels, ensuring everyone can find their place. The atmosphere is positive and encouraging, making it easy to push your limits while having fun. I’ve seen significant improvements in my skills and overall fitness since joining.

If you’re looking for a place to learn martial arts, build camaraderie, and grow as a person, Ripple Affect Martial Arts is the perfect choice! Highly recommend!

Ripple Effect has been very helpful in building my not so little martial artist. They have helped him build his confidence, focus, and become a leader! The staff is amazing and even the other students are amazing at helping and learning. They are open about costs and helped us make a plan that fit our budget. They are also open about responsibilities, not only for the student, but for the parents and other family members in attendance when entering into the program. Anytime I have a question, comment, or concern, they are always responsive, transparent, and professional about answering. Becoming a black belt martial artist takes years of practice and dedication. We couldn't have chosen a better place to work with!

The staff at Ripple Effects are the best. My daughter Victoria has grown greatly in her focus, self control and confidence. I joined her in training and this has been an awesome way for us to spend time together. At 57 the physical aspect of training has been great for me but I have also benefited greatly from the character building aspects as well.

I just wanted to share how Ripple Effect Martial Arts has positively impacted my family. Both of my children have been attending this studio for some time now, and I have noticed a significant improvement in their confidence levels. The instructors at Ripple Effect have instilled values such as integrity, honesty, and hard work in my kids, and they have also encouraged them to try new things. Thanks to this dojo, my children are more confident in their daily lives, whether it's at school, sports, or home.

I am truly grateful for Mrs. Davis and Mr. Gaughan's passion and dedication to each student. Ripple Effect Martial Arts is not just a place to learn karate; it has become a part of our community and our children's lives. Master Macy's decision to bring this studio to Fleming Island has truly been a blessing for us.

If you are looking for a great martial arts studio, I highly recommend Ripple Effect. It will help your child in more ways than you can imagine!

I have seen such a change in my daughter. She is more confident, independent, considerate, polite, respectful, and helps at home. She is doing great in school, and it is great exercise too! Would 100% recommend them to anyone!
