Why Parents in Sparta Choose Us
We are not just a martial arts class — we are a confidence-building program that works. Here is what makes us different.
Every child stays active — always
No child ever 'rides the pine' or sits on the sidelines. Every student is engaged, challenged, and progressing every single class.
Individual attention in every class
Small class sizes mean Master Mehrtens knows every student by name and adjusts coaching to each child's unique pace and personality.
Kind, disciplined, and fun
Structure without intimidation. Classes are warm and encouraging — kids look forward to coming, and parents see the results at home.
Life skills beyond the dojo
Our 'mat chats' teach confidence, focus, resilience, and respect — skills that show up in school, at home, and throughout life.
Certified expert since 1988
Master Mehrtens holds a 5th degree Black Belt and has been a certified instructor for over 30 years, with a track record of students going on to top colleges and careers.
Great for hesitant or shy kids
