I've been training with Belton for over 8 years - and study strength training, and martial arts during our private training sessions. He is incredibly knowledgeable and always strives to improve his skills so that he can help his students to continue to improve. He is truly a teacher who listens to his students, and helps them to realize their potential both physically and mentally. His background and experience is immense, and he brings together many disciplines as well as physical movement, physical health, nutrition, proper strength training techniques, Z-Health, NSI, Balintawak, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Would highly recommend Belton!

My daughter has been attending MMMAC for about 5 years now. She has built confidence, discipline, and how to protect herself with taekwondo. She has built friendships outside of school, and worked her way up to STORM team. Ms. Mari's is phenomenal and inspiring to the children. Summer camps are active, and exciting for my daughter as well!
