Look what other students have to say about their mari training:

 

I have been training with Mike and May for the last 4+ years. The workouts are extremely challenging both on a physical and mental level. The arts we study are complex but Mike and May find way to teach them in a way that all levels and ages can grasp. I have found the experience of learning under and with Mike/May to be a very positive journey which I hope to continue for a life time.

From the first day I walked in the door at MARI, Mike and May Williams made me feel like a welcome guest in the their home. The training is like nothing else in this area(and I've been to most of it). But more than that, I feel like when I met Mike and May and the other students that the atmosphere was almost as if I'd extened my family.

I was very lucky to meet Mike Williams, a true master of martial arts possessing superior skills as a teacher and a gentleman. After only a few years of leaning I was able to develop not only essential combat abilities, but also improved my physical strength and physical flexibility. Becoming more flexible in my mental abilities allows me to approach a variety of day to day problems in a more efficient and calm way. MARI training improved my coordination, balance and self-esteem giving me the confidence to deal with people no matter of any status.

With all the distractions I have at home and at work, the kali training with Mike and May Williams has helped me focus and concentrate like no other martial arts training I've had before! Plus, it's fun and awesome self-defense. Mike and May are true masters of the art.
