Better Grades
Martial arts are proven to improve grades. How? Through teaching focus, discipline, goal-setting, and even more vital tools for success.
Executive Functioning Skills
Designed specifically to guide our students through developing first-time listening, attention, problem solving, and self-control all while having fun with engaging drills for skills.
Character Development
Respect and courtesy are at the forefront of our teaching, from learning empathy to the importance of a bow, our students gain crucial skills to help them both make friends and build positive relationships.
Effective Self-Defense
Safety comes first for good reason. Our students know the importance of more than physical self-defense, but also verbal self-defense to know how to avoid fights and stand up to bullies.

My son started with Master Ian over two years ago. Since then he has learned so much from him, his confidence and skills have grown a great deal in this time. He has been inspired and motivated to continue on until he gets his black belt. Our daughter has now recently joined and loves it. Our family highly recommends joining!

We have been with the master Ian for 6 months and it has been a wonderful experience. My son did not like to follow instructions and thanks to máster Ian discipline he has made a change.

1000% RECOMMENDED. My son has been working with him for almost a year and his progress not only in martial arts techniques but also in concentration, posture and movements has been tremendous! In addition to this, the sensei has worked hard learning a little Spanish so that my boy can understand him better, we are a Latina family and NO ONE had done this for us
From the heart THANK YOU SENSEI

Apex Martial Arts is an amazing local business run by an upstanding man. I have known this gentleman for years and I have seen him do nothing but hone his craft to create the best possible product for his students. Apex is run by a true master who is dedicated to providing a safe and authentic martial arts experience for anyone, of any background, of any skill level. I believe anyone can benefit from training with master McClindon. I have seen nothing but positivity from the students that experience what Apex offers. It is THE place to learn martial arts in the Whitman area and neighboring towns.
