Madison Heights Family Martial Arts

Our desire is to teach character qualities such as respect, self control, confidence and discipline while teaching realistic self defense.

Classes are for the entire family starting from age 4 and up. Come try us out with our FREE trial program! Master David Clements has been teaching martial arts for 40 years. He has a 7th degree Black Belt in American Freestyle karate, a 3rd degree Black belt in Shotokan and holds rank in 7 other styles.

This young man showed up with an incredible attitude, worked hard, learned the skills, and earned that yellow belt! 💛

One of the things we love about Madison Heights Family Martial Arts is that martial arts doesn’t have to look exactly the same for every student. When a student needs adaptations, we can adjust techniques and training so they can participate, progress, be challenged, and experience the pride of earning each new rank.

A wheelchair doesn’t change the goal. We meet the student where they are, help them discover what they CAN do, and then help them keep growing from there.

And with that smile and that brand-new yellow belt, this guy absolutely crushed it. 💛👏

There is something extra special about the moment a student receives that blue STORM top. 💙🥋

STORM stands for Special Team Of Role Models, and earning that blue top is the first step toward someday becoming a full instructor at Madison Heights Family Martial Arts.

And look at those faces! 🥹 That is PURE joy.

But STORM is about much more than putting on a different uniform. Students sit down with Mrs. Caputi for an actual leadership class—taking notes, completing homework, and learning what it really means to be an instructor and a role model. They learn what we expect from the people entrusted to lead, encourage, and set the example for other students in our studio.

These kids aren’t just learning martial arts anymore. They’re beginning to learn how to lead others in it. And that blue top represents a pretty incredible next chapter. 💙

The lessons we teach at Madison Heights Family Martial Arts aren’t supposed to stop when students walk off the mat. ❤️🥋

That’s exactly why we have our chore sheets! They’re designed to take the character qualities we work on in class—things like responsibility, discipline, respect, and helping others—and give students a way to practice them at home.

Each completed chore sheet earns another ⭐. Keep putting in the work and those stars eventually turn into a medal…and then a trophy! 🏆

These three have put in enough work at home to earn their trophies, and Mr. Irving got to celebrate that accomplishment with them at graduation.

Because becoming a black belt isn’t just about what you can do on the mat. It’s about who you’re becoming everywhere else, too.

Mr. Irving is showing some fantastic knife defenses here! 🔪🥋

Self-defense training isn’t just about knowing a technique—it’s about learning to stay calm, react with purpose, control the situation, and move decisively when the pressure is on.

At Madison Heights Family Martial Arts, students practice these skills again and again in a controlled environment so the movements become sharper, faster, and more instinctive.

And Mr. Irving is making this one look GOOD. 👏🔥

If you’ve spent any time at Madison Heights Family Martial Arts, you already know Master Clements has a serious appreciation for the ’80s.

So when this hair started flying during graduation… we’re pretty sure Master Clements shed a tiny tear of pride. 😂

The headband. The action shot. The perfectly timed hair flip. All we’re missing is a guitar solo and a training montage.

10/10 technique. 11/10 ’80s energy. 🤘🥋

Okay, these two look AWESOME. 🔥🥋

There’s something pretty special about a husband and wife stepping onto the mat together—not just cheering each other on from the sidelines, but training, learning, testing, and growing side by side.

Here at Madison Heights Family Martial Arts, graduation isn’t only for the kids! Our adults get out there and show what they’ve been working on too, and these two absolutely brought it with their grab techniques.

Because martial arts is even better when the person beside you is also the person you get to go home with. ❤️

Graduation is where all that training gets a chance to shine! 🥊

Here at Madison Heights Family Martial Arts, students don’t just practice techniques—they learn how to put focus, timing, accuracy, and power together.

Boxing drills like this one give students a moving target and an opportunity to sharpen their hand-eye coordination while putting their skills to work. And at graduation, it’s pretty awesome to see how far that training has come!

Strong technique. Sharp focus. Confident students. 💪

Buddy Week is coming to Madison Heights Family Martial Arts August 21st–26th! This is your chance to bring a friend, classmate, neighbor, or family member along and show them why you love martial arts so much.

Buddies don’t need any martial arts experience—they’ll simply join you in a beginner class, where they can jump in, learn some new skills, meet everyone, and experience the fun for themselves!

Great hobbies are even better when you get to share them with a friend. ❤️🥋
