Orleans Martial Arts Kung-Fu Patenaude

I have been going for about 3months.Gained 12 lbs of muscle with the proper diet.In terms of combat skills, my power has increased but the reflex and speed improved dramatically.A few extra practice sessions with the fight team and I don't even flinch at incoming strikes.The reason for all this improvements is because of the great team. Even when sparring, the other members have great respect to each other. There aren't there to hurt or show boat. No judgment!

i have attempted many times in my life to go to the gym and get in shape. usually it ends up in getting bored or no longer motivated to do anything. Not when I joined Patenaude! Wow what a difference! After 5 months I am still enjoying it and love going to the classes. It is a friendly atmosphere and all the instructors are there to help but also the other people that come and work out, it really is a family feel. Everyone pushes you to go one step further and not give up, it is all about pushing yourself another step and getting better and in better shape each time. They have great 30 minute classes where it is more about conditioning and than you also have the classes where you learn more about the kickboxing. They have other martial arts classes as well but I do not participate in these. For me it is about getting in shape and loosing wait. And it works, after 3 months I lost 12 pounds and I feel great. and at 47 it gets harder to loose weight but this really works. Of course it is also about eating healthier but the exercise is the number one contributor! They also have classes for kids where they also learn discipline. It is great to watch these kids, i hope my son will be going in the next year or so!Overall amazing! I look forward to many more classes!

My son has been attending classes at Patenaude Martial Arts for less than a year and we could not be happier with this school. Every class is lots of fun and his is learning so much.This is the third martial arts school that my son has tried and this really is the right place for him. The instructors are attentive and the classes are really geared to the kids. They pay special attention to the needs and recognize the different levels of all the kids in the class. There is emphasis and importance placed on fitness, focus and respect, but at the same time they make every class a fun experience for the kids. I would recommend this school to anyone - young or old looking for a fun fitness routine.

We just join the Patenaude family in Orleans. My three daughters of 2, 4 and 5 are enjoying this activity as much as us parents! Respect, discipline, fun and self-confidence in every lesson with all instructors! I also take private lessons and feel results within 3 weeks! I recommend this school to everyone, its a great overall experience!

From the moment you walk in to Patenaude Martial Arts, you are treated like family! Sifu Stephane's passion and enthusiasm are immediately apparent in every aspect of his family's art. Whether your goal is getting physically fit, self defense, MMA skills,self confidence, discipline, weapons, there is something to learn in the highly energetic and fun atmosphere! Personally, I have never felt more physically fit, confident, energetic and happy, than since I have been training here. It's not just a martial art, but learning a way to live your life to the fullest! A positive, never quit attitude is encouraged, and Sifu Steph and the instructor team always take the time to demonstrate techniques correctly, and are always willing to take extra time with students to help them understand. I very, very highly recommend Patenaude Martial Arts, for training in body, mind, and life!

My now 13 year old son and I both joined the Orleans Patenaude Martial Arts training program over 3 years ago and we love it! This is a family run business that truly does what it takes to make you feel that you are part of the family as well. We love the firm but flexible approach to a student's training and the willingness to take a little extra time when needed to explain or demonstrate techniques that may be found difficult. The team at Patenaude strive for excellence but they also make sure to have fun along the way! Over the last three years, I have observed children improve their concentration and focus dramatically and witnessed adults increase their strength, stamina, and flexibility resulting in firmer, leaner and far more confident individuals.

My husband and I decided to try kickboxing for the first time and signed up for classes with Patenaude martial arts. Upon entering the establishment, we felt a little intimated and out of place but the staff member greeted us and made us feel welcome and comfortable right away. We were set aside with a teacher to show us the basics so we can join the rest of the class in the future. The next day, a staff member emailed us to follow-up up on our session which was very nice of him to do so and made us feel important and part of a team. Overall, I would highly recommend this martial arts studio as they are professional, courtious and welcoming. Kudos to the Patenaude team!

I joined in February this year, and I love it. Sifu Stéphane and the team of instructors are excellent, and they really care about how you do. Going to any martial arts centre can feel intimidating, but this place is anything but. Nothing but positive energy and encouraging, friendly people that really gets you motivated. I'm more confident, stronger, and fully committed to becoming a better student. Martial arts can change your life, and I'm really thankful for finding this place. You won't regret coming here.

If your looking to get in shape, better yourself, become stronger physically and mentally, become more flexible, challenge yourself, push your limits, get in better shape, practice weapons, enroll your child in an anti-bullying program and fun kids classes, adults self-defense program, achieve your dream of a black belt or compete in the MMA octagon - whatever you maybe looking for - stop looking, and try Patenaude Martial arts. This school offers all kinds of classes for people of all ages, beginner or advance, just for fun, or for competition. This year is my 19th year of training at the Patenaude Martial Arts Orleans location. The training is like no other, a more-than welcoming atmosphere, that is family-like and where no one is judged. This school goes beyond just a martial art with kicks and punches, it teaches life lessons to believe in yourself, to not give up when the going gets tough, it teaches respect, self control, discipline, confidence, and much more. Sifu Stephane is the head instructor and has 35 + years of martial arts training, he is a fantastic instructor, mentor, coach, and has become a life-long friend. I highly recommend this school, as it has made me a life long student. Try out the free trial classes, you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

I've been going to Patenaude's Orleans Martial Arts for almost a month now. I have to say I love going. I try my best to go all the time. Sifu Steph teaches step by step and listens to what your goals are. You can clearly see Sifu Steph loves doing what he does. He is great with kids too. I do personal training and Sanshou boxing. I've learned so much and it helped build my confidence, selfesteem. I even lost some weight. What's even good is on Saturday mornings Sifu has family class. My kids enjoyed it and we had a blast. Everyone is friendly and you also meet new members. The club is well maintained. I highly recommend families to join.
