The part that shows up at home
What Leadership Training is.
Karate class is where your child practices the life skill. Leadership Training is where they learn to use it at home and at school.
It is the reason parents write reviews about the bed getting made and the chores getting done, rather than about the kicks. The skill is taught in class, then Leadership Training turns it into something your child does on a Tuesday morning when nobody is watching.
How it runs
Leadership students stay an extra 15 minutes after their Monday to Thursday class.
Students age 7 and up who have reached green belt also train in the dedicated 45-minute Leadership Training classes, Monday to Thursday at 6:45pm.
Friday evening and Saturday morning are open to all leadership ranks.

What Troy parents
are noticing.
4.9 stars from 277 families who train on Rochester Road.
“Since joining Mastery Martial Arts in Troy my granddaughter has become that confident and outgoing person again. She’s listening, understanding and following directions better. Mr Strecker is a great instructor who gives good parenting tips also.”
“We have been with Mastery for one year and the difference we have seen in our girls is amazing. They are learning to be confident, respectful, responsible and how to communicate. It’s so much more than just kicks and punches.”
“This has been a great find for my son. There have been some big life changes lately and he was having a hard time expressing some of these emotions. Watching him build his own confidence in every class and learn how to have a voice again has been an incredible gift.”
30 days of free confidence-building training starts here
Your child’s first
experience is private.
Before joining a group class, your child has a private one-on-one introductory lesson. They meet the instructor, get comfortable, learn something new, and win at something small while you watch.
Meet your instructor
Time to get comfortable before anyone asks them to perform.
Private first lesson
No group, no audience, nothing they need to already know.
An early win
They do something on the mat they couldn’t do when they arrived.
You watch, then ask
Every question answered before you decide anything.
That lesson starts your child’s 30 days of free training. There is no obligation to continue afterward.
Parent peace of mind
Safety and care.
The first visit is one-on-one
No group class on day one, ever.
You never have to leave
Parents stay and watch every class. You are not dropping your child off with a stranger.
An instructor leads the floor
Every minute of every class is led and supervised.
Children can ask for a break
Stepping aside is normal here and never treated as a problem.
Tell us first
Anything that would help your child go better, call ahead and say so. Several of our students are on the spectrum.
Finding us
You’re in the
right place.
Look for the lit Mastery Martial Arts sign above the brick archway. Our door is under the arch, and you can park right in front of it.
First time here? Come a few minutes early. Your child’s introductory lesson is one-on-one, so there is no class to slip into late, and a few quiet minutes to look around helps a nervous three year old more than anything we can say.
