Dynamic Martial Arts Family - Darien, Connecticut

My nine year old son has been attending Dynamic Martial Arts since he was four. Gage is an amazing teacher and role model: compassionate, kind, hard working, and patient. He listens to his students and makes them feel safe, loved, and challenged. He has hosted two very fun birthday parties for us and led private karate sessions over zoom during covid. We did not expect our son to stick with karate this long, but his connection to Gage and the dojo is now too important for him to give up!

We initially signed up our 4yo for karate classes but we soon became such huge fans of Sensei Gage that we started taking classes ourselves. Sensei Gage is patient and fun when he teaches our daughter, but also encourages her to do her best, and use her listening ears when she’s being silly. She loves her classes and looks forward to them every week. Would highly recommend!

Gage gives excellent work and instruction in his classes, always willing to help and would never give up on your child. He really is the best sensei ever and parents and children love him, you can always count on Gage to give his 100% no matter what!!! Along with his assistant instructor Jonathan who the kids love and is always there to help assist and instruct the kids to learn martial arts the best way possible.

Sensei Gage is a wonderful karate teacher and mentor to all his students! My son has been going to classes since he was 4 years old and he is now in high school. He loves the discipline and respectfulness in his practice.

Everything about Dynamic Martial Arts is amazing.

Sensei Gage and Sensei John are terrific instructors and great with kids. They are engaging, patient, effective, knowledgeable, supportive, and fun teachers. My kid loves coming here and has made wonderful progress.

I've done some workouts myself with Sensei Gage, and hope to do even more in the future.

I also greatly appreciate the work they do in supporting the community and for charities.

Dynamic Martial Arts is fantastic. Both my kids practiced here. My daughter earned her black belt after many years of training with Gage.
Gage is a wonderful teacher - he is very kind and respectful with the kids. They respect him in return and really think of him as a trusted teacher/coach which I think is so important to have outside of school.
We have done many birthday parties here as well which have been plenty of fun!

Two of my children have attended this dojo and participated in its Martial Arts program for over a decade. They have earned their black belts and keep coming back, year after year, including my oldest, who is now in college. I owe Sensei Gage a debt of gratitude. He has taught my kids respect, resilience, dignity, and self worth. By strengthening them physically and emotionally he has empowered them to go out and make the world a better place.

I have had 3 sons participate in the program. My oldest was active for 10 years, ultimately achieving his adult black belt with Sensei Gage. My middle son made jr black belt and is still advancing and my youngest pivoted his kempo kicking prowess to the soccer field. All 3 benefited from the thoughtful, caring guidance at DMA. Challenged to push themselves, to achieve their full potential, while learning important lessons that will positively impact their lives far beyond the dojo.
