So much fun!!! We learned some basic self-defense and it was absolutely perfect for my first self-defense class ever! Adam was inclusive and moved at just the right pace for everyone involved. I took a lot from it

Thank you, Sincere! Appreciate you being my partner!
I attended a self-defense seminar, which was well planned, informative, and interactive. There was ample instruction, demonstration, and practice with the various techniques we were taught. Adam (instructor) and Lois (assistant) provided feedback while practicing and encouraged questions about variations or alternate situations. I would highly recommend the seminar for all ages, as knowing how to defend oneself enough to get away are important skills.

I have taken several classes offered by Adam Bockler, owner of Metamora Martial Arts, the most recent being Tai Chi Chuan. Adam is very knowledgeable and capable of leading multiple students (old and young) with varied levels of experience. The instructional videos available online were especially helpful when practicing at home. He is clearly dedicated to sharing his knowledge and the benefits of martial arts with others in the community. Big thumbs up!

Thank you, Tiffany!
My daughter recently joined Metamora Martial Arts. She enjoys her weekly classes and has developed a new sense of self and confidence. She is excited to learn new techniques and forms and has really enjoyed learning about all the different ranks you can earn. Sensai Adam is patient, kind, motivating, and inclusive of all of his students. He treats each student with respect and hold them to high expectations. We are grateful to have such a wonderful program available to us in our community. I would highly recommend this program to any one searching for an experienced Martial Arts Program.

My son is very shy but was immediately welcomed and helped to feel comfortable by Sensei Adam. The classes were set up in a way that helped him stay focused and active throughout the session, despite his young age. We look forward to taking more classes with Adam.

My son has been under the instruction of Sensei Adam for two years. He has enjoyed every aspect of martial arts from the classes to competitions - sparring to forms. He has increased his speed and strength as well as his flexibility. We look forward to seeing what the next year brings.

My husband and I started taking Tai Chi with Adam in February. We love the class! He is a great instructor, caring and humorous. Our classmates were very welcoming also. If you are thinking of taking a martial arts class, and don't feel like your are "athletic", you can do this class!

I have been enrolled in the Tai Chi Chuan class since January. As a former martial arts student, I find this class very engaging and challenging. It's a great way to work your mind (thinking about the moves and what comes next) as well as your body (moving and balancing). I highly recommend this class!

Metamora Martial Arts has been an amazing opportunity for our son. He has loved learning from Sensei Adam, who is patient, kind, talented, and knowledgeable. Our son is learning more than just karate moves. He is learning the importance of lessons like courage, integrity, and more. Highly, highly recommend.

I like Adam's Tai Chi class on Tuesday nights because I enjoy new ways of learning by utilizing various activities. His classes are informative and active! My classmates are friendly and we've learned various stances and forms along with the proper way to breathe through each of them. Some of the forms, such as, “snake unraveling from tree” or “rolling the ball” are not only fun to do but it's purpose is to improve my balance and coordination so I no longer have the fear of falling like I did before I took this class.
If you have the time and would like to do something New and Innovative, come join us at the Metamora Park District for Tai Chi classes on Tuesday nights from 7:00 - 7:45.
