My granddaughter wanted to try kickboxing, so I signed her up at Karate America. To her surprise,…read moreI signed up as well. We signed up for both Kickboxing and Self defense, both excellent values. What a great way to have fun and get in shape with your kid! The people who practice there are all encouraging and kind. The instructors are talented in accelerating physical abilities and learning martial arts. They are also great with people, understanding that we are all different, and they are the best at helping people fit in and get the most out of the classes. I am especially appreciative of the manner they teach personal discipline, with love and respect. The Self-defense and martial arts training provided builds confidence, strength, flexibility, and balance. And will inspire one to do more with their life. And you don't have to be in shape to start, they will help you start from where you are. Join up, and make real progress fast. That's from my personal experience at Karate America. Absolutely excellent.

My son has been going to Roderick's Martial Arts for a couple years now and I have to say that it…read morehas been one of the best investments of time and money... it has given my son the self-esteem and self-control to stand up to bullies (for himself and others who were being bullied) not to mention that it is great exercise and increases flexibility and strength besides the obvious new knowledge of self-defense skills. I highly recommend that anyone who is interested in learning Taekwondo, to go see Chief Instructor Adrian Ordaz. His love for this discipline and for teaching children shows through day after day and all of the other junior instructors are amazing!

More expenses keep cropping up (ie regular $60 for new belts and weapons- these were never mentioned in the initial sign up). By the time you pay all of the expenses, class instruction averages about $35 a class. NOT worth 1hr a week training. Classes are large and usually led by teens. I would rather pay $35 an hour for private lessons in another, more professional sport/hobby.

After taking the trial classes, we decided to stay at Smiley. The reasons? My kids were happy there and were excited to return because they, "Had fun"- their words. The coaches are hands on and encouraging. There's no pressure for them to compete, which isn't a goal of ours (the parents) or the kids. We want our kids to learn self defense because we feel it's a necessary life skill. The coaches at Smiley respect that and train our kids just the same (unlike other gyms that pushed private lessons and competitions). I like the affirmations Coach Smiley shares at the end of class. In addition to learning self defense, I want my kids to build confidence, resilience, determination, etc... the coaches at Smiley help speak life into the kids while teaching them self defense techniques. Lastly, I like the options they have for kids (8 and up): MMA, Boxing, and Muay Thai! They have BJJ for kids 4 and up I believe. It's nice to have a place they can learn different skills and have the time to do it with their packed schedules. You get your moneys worth! I'm looking forward to seeing my kids grow in skill and confidence at Smiley Academy.
