My children have been involved in many activities around town. We tried another martial arts studio in town when our daughter was 5 only to find they were suited up and encouraged to hit and kick each other. She tried other activities like ballet and gymnastics before we found May Martial Arts. At May Martial Arts my children are taught self-defense techniques, codes of ethics, and moral values to be used both in the studio and at home. It’s these valuable teachings that were greatly missing from the first studio we tried. Teaching a 5 year old to hit and kick without any other values or teaching them when NOT to hit and kick just was not working for our family. Now both of our children are enrolled in classes at May Martial Arts. They love attending class; they enjoy it immensely. We enjoy that they are taught self-discipline, self-respect, and respect of authority figures. Mr. May ensures his students not only excel in class, but also at home and at school. Students are recognized for their good grades and counseled should issues arise with grades or behavior. We are so happy that we found May Martial Arts and are looking forward to many more years of growth.

We enrolled our son in other sports programs in our community, and found the competitive I Win you Lose atmosphere. We continued to encourage our son to participate only to have unkind words of his ability mentioned to us in front of him. Our son's self esteem was on the verge of being damaged as his maturity increased. As we continued to search a friend mentioned May martial Arts to us for a winter sport to try. Our son has excelled in the encouraging atmosphere that Mr and Mrs May teaches. We are most happy with the achievements over the last six months. Our son is enthusiastic about May Martial Arts , and is sad when he is unable to make a class. Unlike, the other sports where we encouraged participation. Our son encourages us to get him to class on time. We highly recommend May Martial Arts to anyone seeking a encouraging, learn at your own pace, loving caring atmosphere. Our son learns best when he is having fun. WE HAVE LOST OF FUN. Thank you Donald and Dawn May for your outstanding God given ability to reach our son. Thanks and God Bless.

We love May Martial Arts!!! Over the past year and a half, our son has learned some great karate skills, but he has also learn a lot about self discipline and respect for others. May Martial Arts is not just about learning how to kick and throw punches. It is about becoming the best you can be...in all areas of life. Don and Dawn May do a wonderful job of teaching great techniques combined with life lessons about honor, respect, and love for family. They do all of this while having a blast at the same time!!!! Our Little Dragon has had so much fun that little sister didn't want to be left out. Now we have two Little Dragons and couldn't be happier! Thanks Don and Dawn for all you do!"
Mr./Mrs. May-
As a father, I wanted to share with you my sincere appreciation for the work that you perform with my son and all of the other students at your facility.
You should be commended for developing and recently opening such a nice studio and providing this service to the Greater LaGrange area.
Though I am based out of the DC area, I have enjoyed my time spent visiting and observing your passion and patience with the young men and women who comprise your classes. Your blending of leadership, respect, and discipline with self-defense and self-improvement is outstanding.
