"I
knew that I was not in a position to protect my
family if the need arised. I was out of shape
and knew nothing about handling a physical confrontation.
That is the reason I wanted to start learning
martial arts. The reason I joined One Tree Martial
Arts is because of the Christian perspective.
I have been very happy with my choice. I am learning
how to be a protector to my family, and I am also
learning the discipline that I have always needed
to become a better father, husband and leader."

improving and I have benefited spiritually as
well. What an added bonus!"

PRIVATE
INSTRUCTION
There are many reasons that students choose to train
one on one with their instructor. For some just starting
thier training, it is a way to jump start their skills
in an unintimidating atmosphere. For others the goal
may be to excell in a specific aspect of thier training,
and yet for others it may be to prepare for a promotion
test. Whatever the reason for taking private lessons,
one thing is sure, private lessons pack a lot of training
into a small chunk of your day.
"The
extra two lessons a month have given my training
a huge boost. One on one training with you (Master
B) is well worth the investment."

TRANSFER
STUDENTS
Whether transfering from another area or just unhappy
with the teaching at another school, changing schools
can be a difficult adjustment to make. At OTMA, we
try to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Transfer
students have a choice of starting in our beginner's
class and learning our system from the ground up,
or having a private lesson and then deciding on an
appropriate place to take up our curriculum. Either
way, OTMA students and teachers alike, help transfer
students feel at home as they assimilate into our
school.
If
you moving into our area, contact
us to set up a time to talk over whether our school
would be the right place for you to coninue your training.
"When
we moved to Eau Claire I was concerned about finding
a good school for my daughter. We really liked
the school she was in and thought finding one
that met up to our expectations would be difficult.
Thank you Master B for proving us wrong! One Tree
Martial Arts has been fantastic! My daughter loves
the classes as well as the instructors and her
classmates. The transition was so smooth. Even
though One Tree's curriculum is much broader than
the last school, she was never made to feel inferior.
Thank you for a truly super program!"
- Mother of Student |
"Changing
schools was scarry, but everyone here made it
much better. There was alot more to learn here
than my other school, but I'm happy that I am
learning more."
