It's the challenge of martial arts, the aim
for excellence, the positive role models and
the practice that brings out the best in children.

At Degerberg Academy, children learn 12 Ways to Defeat a Bully - Without Fighting! developed by Dr. Terrance Webster-Doyle.

Will your child learn to defend him or herself from our training? Absolutely yes. Not only will your child learn self-defense, you'll see more confidence and more control. But don't just take our word for it. Here's what parents say about our Black Belt Success System:

Children's Instructors Share Their Experiences





Parent Testimonials

"We enrolled our son in Degerberg Academy to give him some physical activity to do. What we learned was that Degerberg Academy not only gave our son physical activity but also a learned sense of responsibility, a sense of commitment, a sense of pride in what he can accomplish through hard work. What great life lessons to learn so early in life. Degerberg Academy has assisted us in teaching our son some of what life is about."
Linda P., Mother of Matthew, 9

"I signed up after my 5-year old son's wonderful experience. We are both very pleased with Degerberg's highly professional and caring staff, and are now closer [to each other] than ever."
Madeline T., Mother of Joshua, 5

"We're the parents of three children, and we heard of Degerberg Academy through a co-worker who went there and now his children go there. He said that he and his wife wish they had heard of the school years ago. We're very happy that we have our children here in this school. Teachers – keep up the great work!"
Rebecca L., Mother of Joshua, 5; Jose ,6 ½; and Jessica, 8

"My daughter has shown improvements in her levels of discipline since starting to attend Degerberg."
Al G., Father of Victoria, 8

"In the short time we have been attending Degerberg Academy, we have seen a complete behavior change in our children. They have learned more respect for adults and listen better at home. They both love coming to class. Thank you!"
Carla H., Mother of Coco, 4 and Elena, 6

"All the instructors are dedicated and work well with the students. They mix discipline and fun in the proper proportion for the Ninja Turtles."
Dennis L., Father of Dante, 5

"I think it's wonderful that after 6 months of classes my 5 year old son now addresses people as sir or madam. His attention span has improved greatly also."
Michelle S., Mother of Quinton, 5

"In this day and age, kids need more and more positive role models and positive influences in their lives. After one month I have seen a big improvement with our son, mostly in self-control and discipline. I would highly recommend Degerberg Academy to all parents."
Ivo P., Father of Max, 7

"I'm glad that Degerberg Academy gives the students not just martial arts lessons, but also very important lessons for life, building great behavior, self-control, and self-discipline. Thank you!"
Elina D., Mother of Martin, 7

"I've had very nice experiences because you show and teach self-discipline to our sons."
Alejandro A., Father of Rodrigo, 9 and Sandra, 7

"Not only is Degerberg Academy excellent for your physical health – it is outstanding for your emotional and mental health. – so now you have balance. I feel the instructors are very dedicated to the children – they make sure they are qualified for any advancement they need. I feel that they have truly great instructors. Who could ask for more?"
Loretta H., Mother of Krystel, 11

"I have three daughters in Degerberg and I see they have terrific changes in their lives and physical health, and they have a good time. There are excellent teachers for all the classes and a versatile schedule – we think this is the best choice we've made for our family."
Leticia G., Mother of Brenda, 23; Andrea, 13; and Cecilia, 8

"The Degerberg Academy teaches you the concept of self-defense and discipline. To a younger student, those two things do not mean much until later in time as classes progress they learn the simple respect - yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am – which most people like to hear, and the ability to defend yourself without having to throw a punch yourself. My son likes that."
John M., Father of John Paul, 8

"I'm a very proud mother of three children who have joined Degerberg Academy. They have great teachers, fun games, cool disciplinary conduct, and they help all students become a leader in their own way as they grow along. Everyone is very friendly, just like one family. I enjoy every minute by watching the kids learn martial arts and games. Teachers and assistants are good, funny, and very professional. Thank you!"
Aurora B., Mother of Brian, 6; Christine, 10; and Aileen, 11

" I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members and teachers of the Degerberg Academy for their hard work and unconditional help and friendship. Having my daughter at Degerberg is like having another family to visit during the week. The teachers are so nice, dedicated, and friendly – they really help the intellectual, physical, and moral growth of every person that I know who attends Degerberg. I'll say this is the greatest place to develop and succeed as an individual."
Noemi R., Mother of Ana Karen, 12

"My son's experience at Degerberg has been great. The instructors' expectations are high, but realistic, and he has gotten the extra attention he needed to succeed. So he learned that success takes work, but perseverance pays off. He learned that the right way is not always the easy way. He learned to ask for help when he needs it. In this way he's gained real self-confidence. Look at the kids – they're smiling!"
Pam M., Mother of Josh, 10

"In the beginning, we enrolled my son because we were told he may have ADHD. But after several tests, we found out he didn't have it. Roman just needed to find something he really liked – and this was it. It has built his self-confidence, discipline, respect for others, and he now has a long-term goal of reaching his Black Belt. He is a tall kid who could become a bully, but he has not. I'm confident that he will use all that he has learned and will learn for good purposes."
Lisa N., Mother of Roman, 10

"Degerberg Academy has provided a positive and safe environment for my children to achieve the most they can in martial arts. My children have gained a lot of self-respect and discipline since coming to the academy."
Kelly V., Mother of Daniel, 8 and Alex, 6

"Degerberg Academy helped both my daughters learn discipline, self-control, a feeling of responsibility whether they're in school, out of school, and at home. It also helped them become physically and mentally fit to tackle the obstacles [encountered in] growing up. Thank you from both of us. Keep it up!"
Anita W., Mother of Alyssa, 11 and Adriane, 7
