It usually takes my daughter quite some time to warm up to people and the environment but she was already acting silly in no time (unfortunately failed at following instructions though lol).

I only take the Shotokan Karate basic (all belt) classes and I take kickboxing weekly. I have past experience in Kwon Soo Do (brown belt ages 10-14) but have not practiced in...about...20...years. I feel welcomed by this dojo that is a family. Shihan Dunn and all the senseis, sempais, and belts are helpful, encouraging, and in no way trying to force you to go past what you can do. I have medical issues so yes, some things are harder. It is NOT FORCED for you to do exactly what everyone else does. They expect you to TRY and IMPROVE at your own pace. The belts have tips. After a certain amount of classes, you get a change of color tip. Then after a few of those, you are eligible for your next belt. However, let me make this clear. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE TIPS OR THE NEXT BELT. Progression, improvement, working to better yourself and others. Yes, you can strive to be the next great black belt but the point is put as much as you can, better yourself, and move forward. Gene Dunn's Shotokan Karate Dojo is not about winning medals or speeding to the black belt or even about flashy moves. It is about you and your relationship with yourself and others. Recommended for all ages, young and old. Recommended for experienced and non-experienced martial artists. Recommended for getting into shape or improving until you are Bruce Lee (Yes that is Kung Fu....)

Also the classes are not really categorical: the beginner class has a lot of advanced people. It might be intimidating if you are brand new. I do like how it gives you a feeling of power. Just a PSA though: some of the instructors and students are not vaccinated against COVID and talk about it openly. If you are COVID adverse wear a mask. I am adverse to it and found out later on. I wear a mask and often classes are outside.

Coming back to Judo after so many years felt like stepping into a memory -- but what I found at…read moreDARFIGHT was more than just nostalgia. It was the same discipline, the same language of toughness and respect I learned on the mat as a kid... but elevated. Refined. Alive. DARFIGHT isn't just a dojo -- it's a living legacy of real Judo, the kind built through blood, sweat, and tradition. The environment is intense but welcoming. The coaches are world-class, not just in terms of skill, but in their ability to bring the best out of every student, no matter their level. I've trained in a few different places over the years, but the moment I walked into DARFIGHT, I recognized something rare: this is the real deal. The mat has energy. The students are hungry. And there's this constant push -- not from ego, but from purpose. Sensei Artur and his team don't just teach technique -- they build you mentally and physically. The workouts are hard. The expectations are high. But the results speak for themselves. I'm stronger, sharper, and more focused than I've been in years. Whether you're a parent looking to toughen up your kid, or someone like me who wants to reconnect with the essence of real Judo, I can't recommend this place enough. DARFIGHT lives up to the name. You'll come in as a student. You'll walk out as a fighter.

People were extremely friendly, encouraging, and supportive. Instructors remembers your name after one class and corrects your form if it's not accurate so you don't hurt yourself and teaches you how to kick/punch better. Even the students there were so helpful as it was my first time and was willing to spend a few minutes here and there to correct my form. Scheduling classes was easy as there is an app to shows the schedule of various classes. Also, the place is clean is because there are no shoes on the mats. One thing I didn't like was that there are no lockers in the changing room and it's just a place to change and store your belongings. However, it was safe to leave your belongings there as you are working out. Would love to go back again!

I was recently trying to rejoin the world of martial arts after a long time of being out of the…read moreloop. I had zero grappling experience and felt like Bjj was the absolute perfect art to fill said gap. I reached out via email and got a quick reply by voicemail and then by text. They were willing to answer all of my questions, even questions about the rates, contract, fees etc. They answered ALL of my questions AT the initial point of contact, which I very much appreciated and showed a stellar level of customer service on their part. So I showed up for my first introductory class, and as someone who's got plenty of experience in martial arts, I was looking for things that might be worth making note off: the equipment (such as the standing body-bags that the kickboxing class use for training) appeared to be in good shape, the mats weren't dusty or with any obvious debris and the place seemed generally to be very clean from the mats to the lockerrooms and bathroom. The instructers were all very kind to work with me and help me to develop my technique and understanding of what it is I'm getting myself into. It was a good class with great people, no doubt. The only thing I didn't like is the hard-sale strategy to sign the contract. That was why I couldn't continue, even though I really wanted to. Had I been presented with the contract differently, it's quite possible I'd be fully enrolled into my first month's classes right now. But they pitch HARD... for example, I wanted to take at LEAST two introductory classes before making a final decision, and I wanted to sleep on it. A 7 month contract (and that's just the ENTRY LEVEL contract which you are likely going to be asked to renew to a year contract in a few months once you're ready for advanced classes) is a big commitment when you're spending $219 a month, which they state is completely inflexible, regardless of income or situation and must be paid EVERY MONTH... no... matter... what... sick? Doesn't matter. Injured for under 6 months? Doesn't matter. You gotta pay). There are ways to get out of the contract, but ultimately, I was given the vibe of "but if you have an issue you will just call the company that handles our payments... they deal with that stuff" Still, this wasn't enough for me to rule me out. I still wanted it and could "kind of" afford it. The issue was that hard-sell. I am a salesman for a living and I can tell when someone is trying too hard to sell something. I see it everyday from my own coworkers and I respect them for it. Honestly I respect them for it here also. They need money. They are a business. It makes sense and there is nothing wrong whatsoever with that. The only issue though it is was the wrong approach for me and I felt like they should've felt my energy on that. I told them I was uncomfortable and wanted to take a second class and make a decision. Rather than saying something along the lines of "go... take the second class... and let me know what you think. If you need more time, that's okay. When you're ready, we'll be here and we'll be happy to have you as a part of the community "(what probably would've had me come back for AT LEAST a month trial). But what actually happened when I said this, is the gentleman seemed slightly disappointed and even slightly frustrated. He then replied, "... cool okay, but if you do this, I would REALLY need you to get back here right after so we can go over paperwork." It wasn't even subtle. It seemed too desperate. I kept replaying this in my mind, as a salesperson, thinking "man they really as desperate to get the sale..." I've seen it hundreds of times. The face when one of my collegues or even I can't close a sale... the emotion behind the reaction. It was all there and it was clear. No denying it. He wanted that paperwork SIGNED and I get why. It's a business, and businesses need money in order to operate. ... but I had to take a star for that... I was not comfortable and was even a little nervous specifically and only because the person working with me had too hard of a sales pitch. It made me decide that maybe this isn't the right choice for me right now and it unfortunately lead to me asking for cancellation before a single business day had passed. But on the plus side... these are all good people. They are trying to run a good business and have a good culture. I'd be happy to be a part of their community and would even recommend these guys if anyone asks. Everything seemed almost perfect about that place. The only thing that didn't work for me was the sales-pitch and the contract inflexibility. I probably woudln'tve noticed any of this stuff if I wasn't a salesperson myself so don't let my words make you look down on these guys. The world needs as much truth as possible these days, though which is why I had to write this review. Gave me some free gear, treated me with respect and gave me a good lesson; give em a shot
