Buddy Gainey
I have really enjoyed learning Krav Maga at Super T. The classes are fun, I get a great workout and I am learning to defend myself.
Master Terry is awesome!
Cheri Jakubowski Moroney
Master Terry is very professional but also personable. He has so much experience and truly cares about his clientele. He teaches how to stay focused which is excellent with anyone who has ADHD. He really knows how to teach the boxing moves by breaking them down. His family is a real asset since they are all involved with training at his place. You won’t be sorry you joined at all. It’s a high class place to get into kickboxing.
Glen Kemp
I’ve known Super T for a long time he is one of the best in the World at what he does. If you get the opportunity to study under him do it.
Heather Hapner Cloherty
My son has come a long way in the one short month he has been taking classes. He is enjoying it so very much.
Jennifer McElheny Boyd
My son has thrived in their great teaching environment. The set expectations high but are kind, helpful instructors. I am very happy we came.
Joan Sommers
Great place to learn self defense to stay safe. Master Terry is very well educated, keeps his students very informed with the newest techniques.
Everyone is very willing to help each other to strive to the best of their ability. While working hard, there is also time to have a few laughs.
Super T Karate is a great place!
Joseph Merrills
Great way to get your exercise while still learning ways to defend yourself with the added bonus of having fun while doing it. Great group of people, from Master Terry and Sensei Marvin to all the other students.
Judge Patrick Hillary
I have been studying martial arts 14+ years and I’ve never experienced the informative instruction received at the Tactical Weapons class presented by Master Terry Gay. I feel a class like this is absolutely necessary, whether experienced or just learning about weapons.
Kimm E. Slater – President of Steel 21
Joshua, and I, were privileged to train again with Master Terry Gay who owns and operates Super T Karate and Street Reality Combatives (S.R.C.). Our focus was hand gun familiarity and safety. In all of Master Terry’s classes we concentrate on real life situations, and possible threats we all face in todays’ violent society. Not only is this training fun, someday it could save my life, or help me to protect my loved ones around me.
Laura Maniaci
My daughter has been training at Suoer T Karate for three and a half years, since she was 5 years old. Master Terry’s extreme dedication and expert coaching has allowed her to not only earn her brown stripe belt, but has also instilled amazing self confidence, mental and physical strength, martial arts skills, self defense techniques and so much more. She absolutely loves karate and I’ve enjoyed watching her grow into a powerful young woman because of it. I HIGHLY recommend Super T Karate!!! Master Terry and the other senseis are the best and truly care about their students success!!!
Rebecca Grabill
Our son has had a fabulous first year at Super T! He’s healthier, stronger, and more confident than ever before, plus he’s part of a supportive community. I’m not exaggerating when I say that karate has been life changing!

As parents, we want what’s best for our children. The reality is that today’s children are pushed to their limits with extra-curricular activities by well-meaning parents. With that said, I’ve put together some details about how over-committing children are retroactive for their development. For starters, let’s look at why we tend to over-commit our children: […]
