Building Confidence Through Achievement
Confidence grows with every challenge a student overcomes. In our programs, students set goals, push past obstacles, and celebrate their progress—developing self-belief that carries over into school, friendships, and everyday life. By mastering new skills and reaching milestones, they build the resilience and determination needed to take on any challenge with confidence.
More than just physical techniques, our training nurtures a strong mindset. Every class reinforces perseverance, positive self-talk, and a “never give up” attitude. Whether it’s breaking a board, earning a new belt, or speaking up with assurance, our students develop the courage to step outside their comfort zones and embrace new opportunities.
Developing Focus and Self-Discipline
Martial arts instills the ability to concentrate, follow directions, and stay committed to a goal. Through structured training, students learn to pay attention to detail, exercise patience, and push through challenges with determination. These habits extend beyond the mat, helping them succeed in school, sports, and everyday responsibilities.
Every class reinforces the value of self-discipline—showing up on time, respecting instructors and peers, and putting in consistent effort. Over time, students develop a strong work ethic and the ability to stay focused even when faced with distractions, setting them up for success in all areas of life.
Martial Arts for a Strong and Active Body
Martial arts training is a full-body workout that builds strength, flexibility, and endurance. Students develop better coordination, balance, and agility through dynamic movements that keep them engaged and challenged. Each class helps improve cardiovascular health while also enhancing muscle tone and overall physical fitness.
Beyond the physical benefits, staying active through martial arts promotes lifelong healthy habits. Whether kicking, punching, or practicing footwork, students boost their energy levels, release stress, and gain a sense of well-being that carries into their daily lives.
A Martial Arts Family That Supports One Another
Resilient Martial Arts is more than just a training space—it’s a close-knit community where students and families build lasting connections. From day one, students are welcomed with encouragement and support, creating an environment where friendships flourish and everyone feels valued.
Parents often share how our school has become a second home, where their children gain not only skills but also a sense of belonging. Whether celebrating achievements, pushing through challenges, or simply enjoying the journey together, our students and families form bonds that extend far beyond the mat.

What Powhatan Families Are Saying
We’re proud of the positive impact we’ve had on families from Powhatan and beyond:
Amy Smith
Our son has been attending Resilient Martial Arts since 2020 and we could not praise the instructors enough! We have seen a difference in his confidence and self-control over the last 2 years. The instructors are attentive and dedicated to improving the student's discipline in learning and mastering the various techniques and forms while also learning life skills.
Beth Godwin-Jones
I learned about Resilient Martial Arts through the Autism Society of Central Virginia. Master Eric has consistently supported ASCV, including offering free sessions to members. I participated in several of these, and both of us enjoyed working with Master Eric, whose goal is to make participation available to all. My grandson loved these sessions so much that he started taking lessons. In the past two years he has moved up to green belt in a supportive environment that allows him to interact with other children. And the Christmas parties are a blast!
Danise Sumner
We love master Ribeiro and the early skills class at Resilient martial arts! My son is almost 4 and we were looking for a class that would increase his self confidence, allow him to work on his gross motor skills and socialize with friends. He loves earning stripes as he works on various skills like kicking, punching, crawling, rolling, or catching. I love seeing him work toward something. Master Ribeiro is warm but also expects students to show respect. He is a great role model for our son. We are excited for our child to continue learning at Resilient Martial Arts and would highly recommend it to other families.
Erin Elam
I can’t explain just how amazing this place is! My daughter was born at just 23 weeks, 1lb. She just turned 3, and is doing well but had a long bumpy road. With said, she has some visual impairments, mild cerebral palsy, and severe anxiety issues. We are four classes in now, and although my daughter cries each time we get to the school, the instructors (every single one) ALWAYS treat her like their own and take their time with her. She comes out of class so happy and oh so proud of herself! They do not treat her differently because of her impairments, they are all patient and kind, and above all understanding. We are BEYOND pleased with GEMA, and the staff to include the wonderful families we have met. Thank you GEMA for creating a better world for my daughter!
Hillary Hogan
I have had a blast. I look forward to continuing to learn each form.
Iman Jabr
My daughter started there exactly two weeks before her 3rd birthday... Now she is five! She loves that place! The instructors, especially Master Ribeiro, are really nice and know how to deal with kids. What I like the most is how they try to install great values in the kids by teaching them at an early stage about anti bullying, respect, discipline and kindness. My daughter also loves the parents night out activities organized there.
