It really is impressive to watch the seamless switch between handling different age groups. Each class feels really appropriate for the student's level. The studio is comfortable, the environment is friendly, and our kids really do learn a lot of valuable life skills beyond hitting an opponent. There has been a huge confidence and positive attitude boost from all 3 of our kids attending classes as compared to when they first started (some needed it more). I have seen progressive improvements in other students as well. I do wish I would have had the chance to meet Master Marvil. His legacy feels like it lives on here, even though I have only seen pictures and heard stories. We will never force our kids to continue studying martial arts. They do have the choice of other activities in it's place, but all 3 continue to stay and advance through the belt levels here and hope to do so for the years to come. One day, I may have to start attending classes myself. Although, I did always want to attend a rival school so I can face my children in a competition cobra kai style, but I'll hold for now.

Worth every penny and more, whether you have a toddler or teen or young adult or are an adult yourself interested. This is not a belt mill.

They've clearly earned what they have, and continue to improve.

However, the technique is the gem. Undisputed MMA cannot be championed by any other program as it works from the inner spirit and essence of the student's desire to become strong, focused and precise! Consider making a real contribution to the world in which we live by providing a young person with the opportunity to build levels of confidence never imagined, to help others reach their goals, to protect oneself against the negativity of today!! We can prepare young people to be the strength we need to bring peace back to center stage. We can prepare youngsters to own tomorrow and all the joy, peace and strength we as a people will gain! It starts with YOU! Grandparent of a Warrior!!

I'd been wanting to learn judo for years and never found the time or opportunity, so when a dojo…read moreopened up right in my neighborhood, I was very excited to sign up. Now, my four and six year olds and I all train here and it's become a big part of our lives. Senseis Alaa and Kristin have built a warm and encouraging community of students over a wide range of age, skill, and background. They're knowledgeable and passionate about their sport and they put so much care and attention into their instruction. The dojo is clean and well laid out and there's a well-equipped strength studio upstairs that I can use when my kids are in class. Watching my little kids progress both athletically and socially in class has been so rewarding. And I'm making some progress in my own training, too, which is extremely gratifying for this old mom! Having a world class judo coach in our sleepy little neighborhood is such a privilege. I'd encourage anyone curious to stop in and check it out!

I walked in today and there a very nice young woman that greeted me and instantly invited the girls to there first lesson. There is a large matted area in the back and there is a space in the front for parents to wait for there children. The charge is $80.00 a month per child, but if you have two you get a discount so it is only $150.00. You can come in for classes that are available all week, three times. They are open from 11:00-10:00 Monday through Saturday and Sunday open Mat by appointment. They offer group and private lessons. My girls just finished there first lesson and they loved it. They are wanting to come back tomorrow. I guess that is a good sign.

I called and messaged him throughout the day and did not get a response. I asked him for a refund and he got mad at me for wanting a refund. I told the gym about it and the gym did nothing so I canceled my membership. The trainer sent me messages telling me to "be a man" and "text or call if I have a problem". His excuse was that it was the holidays, yet he agreed to do these times and these dates. The 23rd he canceled because he got tattoos and couldn't roll and he canceled the day of, and on the 29th I got no response all day even though when I asked to train on that day he said "yeah let's do it" about three days prior. I had to pay for three extra months to cancel my membership even though I no longer go here. On top of that, I still never got my refund from the trainer. It sucks because I loved that gym and the coaches there, but none of this is my fault.

Cecilia is a very good teacher and very talented…read more I trained about 15 years ago with Cecilia back when the dojo was near my house in Germantown. I quit once they moved the dojo, due to my own laziness/apathy. I was 17 years old at the time and I only got to blue belt level. I never thought I would actually use Aikido in real life, especially because it seemed like it would be of limited utility against a real attacker. I don't think that Aikido is a very powerful marshal art if you are up against someone who really knows how to fight. But on the few occasions in my life so far where I've had to use it, it has literally saved my life. About 7 years ago, I was on the ground with three attackers about to kick my head in. Without even thinking, I naturally got into a lying-down defensive posture with legs poised to grab someone's neck. These thugs screamed "He knows how to fight! Run!" If they had not gotten scared, I am quite sure I would not have been able to withstand the attack. About 3 years ago, my wife was choking me to death, and at the last moment, when I realized I had only seconds to act, I instinctively put her wrist in a "nikyo" lock that broke me free. I was so glad that Cecilia had us practice being choked! And yes, I did press charges on my wife. Because I did not fight back while she was abusing me, she had no injuries, and therefore she went to jail, not me. Had my training been in a more "offense" based marshal art, I might have inflicted visible injuries on her, or even broken her bones, out of instinct, and then I might have been the one in jail. As a person who is not at all the fighter type, Aikido was perfect for me. And it was really fun training.
