Stories of Growth, Confidence, and Success
At Elevate Martial Arts, martial arts is about more than kicks and punches—it’s about shaping character, building confidence, and teaching values like leadership, discipline, and perseverance. Our supportive environment helps every student grow, both on and off the mat.
Hear directly from one of our dedicated parents about how EMA has positively impacted their child’s life and helped them succeed in ways that extend far beyond the dojo.
Excellent Instructors that see the big picture of life. They aren’t just teaching Teakowondo, they are creating a better future for our children and our communities!!
My son has been studying tae Kwon do with Mr. Santiago and his amazing instructors for over 4 years! When he first started he could not do a single push up! He is now a Black Belt! The Boynton beach Tkd team helped elevate his self confidence, as well as his coordination , and self control! He is in the leadership class where he has truly blossomed into a wonderful young man! Mr. Santiago has gone above and beyond to help all of his students meet their highest potential ! He shows compassion in every aspect of their lives! Signing my son up was the best decision I ever made! In fact I started class there myself!
My kids have been going for over a year and I seen improvement in their confidence and attention. The staff is very patient and focused on the success of the kids.
If issues come up, Mr. Santiago is quick to address and resolve.
My daughter has been attending this school for the past 2 years and has received nothing but happiness, delight, and pure joy. She consistently speaks of the greatest times she has there. She loves the environment and especially the instructors. They teach her with such a splendid manner.
Mr. Santiago and his team are very hands on and engaging. They make sure every student and parent feels welcome. Most importantly they make sure their students reach their goals and become self confident with their success.
I’ve been a part of the Boynton ATA family for about 4 years on and off. I highly recommend this elite group of instructors. They are accommodating and cater to the needs of the individual learner. The camaraderie and positive atmosphere of the dojo envelops you as you walk through the door. The students not only learn martial arts skills, but also, essential life skills in order to be contributing members of the community. Mr. Santiago takes the time to build rapport with all students and their families. He is truly the cornerstone of this dojo and a gift to all who know him.
