About Me
Denny Strecker has been working with children for the past 30 years
and have developed a system that teaches them how to develop
their Confidence, Focus, Discipline, and Leadership Skills
to help them in their everyday lives.
Raising kids can be a challenge
Do you feel lost and don't know where to turn?
Hi, I'm Denny Strecker. I have spent the past 30 years researching, learning, practicing, and refining my skills as an instructor to become the best guide I can be to parents who want more for their child.
I have completed tens of thousands of hours of study and research and I do more every day to make sure I have the most current information and skills to educate my students.
Parents rest easy knowing that will keep them up-to-date and in most cases, well ahead of what is happening today. For example, I became certified in Stages Training in 2019, that teaches children to understand patterns and poly-math to solve problems. Now, in 2023, schools are just beginning to use this concept in their programs.
In short, I am a "Life Coach for Kids". You can read all about this process and what I do in my blog post: click here
A proven system that works (here's the proof!)
"The passion he has is evident"
We have been a part of the Prestige family for a few years now. It all started as a Christmas present during Covid-19 that, little did I know would change our lives. I don't know if I have the words to do Shihan justice.
The passion he has is evident in his teaching methods. The attention every child receives, the support for a better future, the life skills to succeed inside and outside the classroom, and not to mention the many lessons we as parents learn. My son, John, struggled with self confidence, controlling big emotions, and the navigation of our difficult ever changing world.
Since we started I've seen John come so far. He's more confident, proud of his hard work and has a drive to push and work harder, not just in class either. He has come a long way in controlling those big emotions.
Shihan is there for us anytime, he is someone John knows he can rely on and we're so grateful for all the lessons learned. Being part of the Prestige Martial Arts family had helped us in so many ways. We've met some amazing new friends which is just a bonus to the wonderful changes and opportunities we have experienced.
Watching my son learn coping skills, have a confidant and strong role model, work past fears, and continuously raise the bar higher has been a humbling experience.
I'm a single mom and sometimes I worry. Shihan helps to assuage those feelings. In turn helping me set a better example too.
I know the words above don't do justice to the amazing changes I've seen in my son or how grateful I am. I know John will be better prepared and more likely to succeed in the future.
I am so excited to continue on our journey, soak up all the knowledge we can, and embrace the experiences. Thank you Prestige Martial Arts for giving us a haven away from home and so much more.

"Our shy and quiet daughter is now a powerhouse of confidence"
We have been apart of the Prestige family for 7 years and our daughter has grown strong and confident through her training with Shihan. When Cassie started at Prestige in 1st grade she was the shortest/smallest in her grade and as a result she felt intimidated and inadequate.
Once she started classes with Shihan she began to overcome physical and mental challenges, lead the student creed and made lots of new friends.
Over the years Cassie continued on her karate journey growing in strong character, developing leadership skills and learning the value of perseverance.
Shihan’s program is unique, age appropriate, character building, providing several options for growth in physical, emotional, relational and social areas.
Our shy and quiet daughter is now a powerhouse of confidence, charisma and a role model to her peers. This year she achieved her black belt and is continuing her karate training and now involved in the Legacy program by helping assist Shihan with the younger students.
Shihan is a wonderful mentor and he has become an extension of our family. Prestige Martial Arts is an amazing program that delivers life changing experience, growth and success. Shihan’s approach and expertise is unmatched and he truly cares about each of his students’ progress.

Leadership Training
Life Skills implementation into daly life so the student can internalize that skill and benefit from it for the rest
