“We drive 20-30 minutes each way to get to this dojo – several times a week, for over 3 years! Sensei Chris and Sensei Stefan are great, especially with kids. Fun, yet disciplined; challenging but not harsh. It is a warm environment that challenges our 10-year-old to do and be his best – and he loves it! Character lessons are interspersed between rigorous physical activity and karate skills building. We have been thrilled with our experience with Balance Martial Arts Morrisville!”   ~ Katherine G

“Excellent instructors. Thanks to Sensei Chris and Sensei Stefan, not only have I lost 10 lbs in 3 months, my back problems have been resolved. They modify the exercises according to your health conditions. My kids were in karate and their grades have improved. They have a lot of patience and are really sweet to small kids. Highly recommend them.”   ~Shivani P

“Sensei Chris and Sensei Stefan are amazing teachers for children. We have been taking our 5 yr old son there for a year, and his self discipline and respect for others has truly grown. He loves going to classes and we like how much he is able to focus!”   ~Wallace P

“Three years ago, our daughter was a shy 6 year old looking for a new fun activity. Little did we know that martial arts would soon be way more than a fun activity, it would become a way of life. Today, with the great patience and expertise of Sensei Chris and Sensei Stefan, she is a confident and talented kicking machine. Thanks to constant support of the Senseis, we have seen so much growth in her abilities and attitude. Her pride has bubbled to the top as she moved through the belts and all of the skills that came with each round of testing. Not only has her martial arts training taught her control and self-defense, it has also taught her about the type of person she wants to be. Every class the Senseis take time to talk to the kids about their strengths and what they should expect of themselves in life. I hear her reiterating these with great pride to her friends. As a parent, it is hard to put into words how thankful we are to have our daughter being led by such exception and talented people. We all look forward to seeing our daughter with that black belt tied around her waste and that huge smile on her face!”   ~Andi B

“My son had his fifth class today and he’s already gotten so much better at the poses and the kick combos etc. He’s only 3.5 but Sensei Chris is awesome and keeps his attention well. He loves going to class and talks about it constantly. I love how Chris talks about focus, manners, and respect because we’re trying teach that at home as well and what three year old doesn’t need a little outside positive influence to help it sink in.” – Megan C


“I love everything about Balance Martial Arts. They create a positive, supportive and confidence building environment for my son and I. They offer a Parent’s Night Out every month so there is a “built in date night” 12 times a year! And most of all, this is the best stress relief I have ever done. I have tried multiple boot camps, gyms and studios, but nothing beats the relief I feel after an hour of beating up a bag or sparring with someone and getting all that stress out!! I *highly* recommend this facility, for kids and adults alike! Great fitness and great support, no matter what your skill level – I only wish I had joined the adult classes sooner!!” -Juli P

“We really love it here. Below are the reasons we ultimately chose to take lessons here as opposed to somewhere else:
-they give you a week of free classes, not just one, so you can get a better idea of what classes are like
-when I signed up for the free trial, they asked me about my 4yo son and why I wanted to enroll him in karate. They asked what my goals were for him. They asked if I had any concerns they should work on (confidence, focus, listening, etc.). Other places we visited never asked me any questions about him or tried to get to know him. 
-they give you a free uniform 
-they don’t charge hundreds of dollars up front (one place we visited wanted $300 after only one trial lesson)
-they don’t pressure you to sign up; they even encouraged me to try other places before making a decision.
Finally, here’s a story that further confirms we chose the right place: I messed up the time of class one evening and showed up as class ended. Sensei Chris (the co-owner and lead instructor) asked an assistant instructor to give my 4yo a private lesson so he wouldn’t go home disappointed. ” –Wen T


“We moved our daughter over to Balance 2 months ago and couldn’t be happier. They find the perfect balance of fun, discipline and work for our 8 year old. She was reluctant at first to change schools but the reluctance melted away and is enthusiastic every time she goes to Balance. Highly recommend this dojo. ” -James G

“Senseis Chris and Stefan are fantastic instructors and they have an amazing way with the kids. The environment is positive, nurturing, challenging, and more importantly FUN! This wonderful husband and wife team have helped my son tremendously with his confidence and discipline. The karate and jiu jitsu classes are superb. Highly recommend Balance Martial Arts.” Trang L
