I came from another gym in town that treated the women inappropriately and have been here for 4 years now and love it. Also the guy talking about the open mat was a miscommunication between the two of them, however open mat is open to any and all people in the city not just black diamond members. If you are new, I would recommend attending the classes for awhile before jumping into open mat. The classes are structured and monitored by the instructor.

This is a spacious wide open space for practice with cool green mats and a padded and sprung floor. This excellent floor makes it easier to learn graceful falling, while doing more repetitions unhurt. The sensei is a (by turns and in good measure) brilliant & stern teacher with a wry sense of humor to keep all learning lively. I love that this dojo has such a complete community, male and female, young and old, experienced and new practitioners. I am a longtime martial artist, with more than 30 years of practicing my hand to hand hobby. This school and its people are far and away the best community for learning martial arts that I have ever been in. This dojo is of the Takemusu Aikido strain of Aikido. It emphasizes a structured approach to learning with a clear curriculum that integrates empty-handed and wooden weapons training. The term Takemusu signifies spontaneously created and employed martial techniques with a huge emphasis on flowing and effective movements. I've been learning and playing at this dojo for more than eight years now. There are always a few open to the public classes every month, so why not come out and learn and play with us. I hope to see you on the Mat‼

The classes she attends are a mix of all levels. They all help each other out. The sensei is great with the kids but strict when he needs to be. I like the attention to detail and he talks to people throughout the class to give feedback. He also comes over to the area we watch from to ask if there is anything we feel he needs to work on, even if it is just behavior or habits. Having something my daughter looks forward to doing is great.

The "deals" for enrollment are questionable. The owners are amazing and they have so much to offer but they do not spend much time with the littles that make up so much of their constituency. This is where this facility is lacking. I do appreciate what they have done and what is in their future but is here where I have looked for other disciplines.

I messaged Gary to see if it would be ok to stop by and he was very accommodating. There were plenty of people to train with from white belt to black belt and everybody was very friendly. I've been training for more than 10 years at various gyms and I've never felt more welcomed - that's a testament to the owner. He even taught us some details on a few techniques that will help us evolve our games. I would highly recommend this gym for Reno residents and out of towners trying to drop in to get some rolls in.

I started with the kick boxing portion of it to experience what I call explosive cardio. It is cardio but not like a normal paced running cardio. It was great but the bonus was when I decided to include self defense and added the belt system to learn deeper self defense besides just the kick boxing. Love advancing in belt which coincided with the further advance learning of kajukenbo. Thank you Professor Solis and his training team.

I have first found this martial arts school in the early 90's and I was super impressed with how…read moreknowledgeable the instructors were. Yes, this is the oldest Martial Arts school in Nevada from back in the 50's and it has a lot of history. I came back in the late 90's to train seriously. I've been active ever since. It's a traditional Japanese based jiu-jitsu school and they have a donation based - nonprofit pricing structure that is very affordable. To top that off, the blackbelts are some of the most knowledgeable in the area. Typically, more knowledgeable than the for profit schools in the Reno/Sparks area. There is a good family atmosphere, it's not a "cage fighting school" or "sport BJJ school" but it does have some serious training taking place. I couldn't be happier with the years of traditional jiu-jitsu training that I got here. I give this school an easy 5 stars.
