Cornerstone is truly a family! Mr. Westbrook is stern but incredibly caring, and he has a remarkable way with the children. The entire staff is just as wonderful—always supportive, attentive to each child's unique needs, and quick to help out. On top of that, the program has a fantastic balance of discipline and rewards that really works. The school teaches authentic martial arts and its core principles, providing a structured environment rather than a program where kids just play.

Watching my daughter grow through martial arts has been such a beautiful experience. We’ve only been here a few weeks, but the confidence, focus, and strength she’s already developing brings tears to my eyes. Seeing her push herself, learn, and shine—it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for her. I’m so proud of how far she’s come, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes her.

Cornerstone has been a life changing experience for my son Daniel. When he first started over a year ago he was not in a good mental health place. The instructors here have changed that completely. From Mr.Westbrook taking his time with Danny in private classes to Jokyo Gaudet teaching black belt club to Daniel making it in to Masters club. Daniel has found his confidence every step of the way. This place is one of the best and most welcoming academy’s. Would 1000% recommend it to anyone.

This martial arts school is fantastic so far! The instructors are patient, and truly passionate about teaching. They create a welcoming and motivating environment, making it great for all skill levels—whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. The school focuses on self-discipline, focus and core values all while learning valuable self-defense skills. My son looks forward to his classes each week. We are both excited to see what the future holds here!

Cornerstone Martial Arts & Leadership Academy has been a blessing to our family. Our son has been going for 4 months now. He has been able to take and apply what he learns in class to real world. Class has helped him to become more self awareness , disciplined, self confidence, focused. Master Dulaney and Instructor Westbrook and Mr. Greene are amazing!!! If you are looking for a great place for your child or self I highly recommend. The dedication, time, and effort they put into their students is wonderful. They not only want to make sure they succeed in the Martial Arts but also in life.
