Pros: Great Atmosphere…read moreClean Gym Great students Real white belt classes- some gyms have white belt classes where the white belts role from Day 1. At this gym you must be at least a two stripe white belt before rolling. Cons: No early AM classes or Sunday Classes- not really a con, but would love if they had a 6am class, classes are basically from 12:00pm onward Overall: Highly recommend this gym, great learning atmosphere for BJJ. Like I said I wish they offered early morning training.

He helped talk us through some combos, then we did some shadow boxing, and ended with some body conditioning.

I'll definitely return for another class the next time I'm back in town!

I went today to find out about their Fitness Challenge and totally felt like this was a 'bait and…read moreswitch' and was super annoyed with the RUDE Driven representative who told me that if I did not sign up today not to come back. He then proceeded to shake my hand and say have a good day. Really?!? Let me tell you why I did not sign up today. 1) The presentation was terrible. The focus was on having me watch the class and be informed that I would be learning how to fight. The info was not forthcoming and I had to ask a lot of basic questions. 2) While talking to me someone wanted to pay their fee and was instructed to do it on the Driven reps cell phone ...not good! 3} The $15.92 a week turned into pay 2 months upfront. 4) The 'simple nutrition program' is the Paleo diet and a recommendation to cook in a crock pot or air fryer. 5) There was nothing mentioned about 'working with your own coach or FREE meal plans' 6) I indicated that my goal was to lose weight and the Driven rep kept saying no that shouldn't be your goal Needless to say I was less than impressed and very disappointed because what was written in their ad sounded so good and I really wanted to join. For all of that I will stay right at Crunch!!! You have a good day Driven Gym!!!!

This is awesome as I get to use the rest of the gym's facilities which are all included in my membership fee. This includes cardio machines, free weights, squat racks and boxing heavy bags and double end bags. The bjj instruction is top notch with 7 days a week of classes available and reasonable class sizes. The teachers are awesome. They also have a family plan which I used to enroll my 10 year old in monthly membership as well for $125 extra. This is a very reasonable price for up to 5 days a week of children's classes. Parents looking to roll should definitely consider enrolling their child for these great classes. The kids classes run from Sunday thru Thursday. I'm happy I made the decision to come back.

My 6 year old son started BJJ with Pat over the summer and I joined a month later…read more For my 6 year old, Pat keep things interesting at the gym, always teaching new techniques each week, his teaching instructions are clear and simple for a 6 year old to follow. Pat is friendly but yet instills discipline with the kids and most importantly, he keeps it fun. My son really enjoys the classes with Pat, he looks forward to going to class, whereas in the past with a different martial art, he dreaded and hated it. He takes a lot of pride in it when we talk about what he did in class with my wife. Too bad our schedule only permits 2 days a week, he would enjoy going more often had our schedule permitted. And the best part about BJJ is that it's very effective to defend himself from bullies without needing to hurt anyone should one day he needs to. For myself, everyone welcomed me with open arms on my first class. I'm in my early 40's so I'm a bit out of shape, but the guys at the gym are very encouraging and friendly. Can't say enough about Pat and his gym.

Ziran martial arts is the best place you can find near the Edison area if you are interested in…read moretraditional Chinese kungfu, or probably martial arts in general. Ziran emphasizes equally on the two aspects of taichi----- (1) Taichi principals and Qigongs, (2) combat applications. Most of the teachers in traditional inner-style kungfu have the problem of being unrealistic and imaginary(I personally experienced several ones). But this is not true for Sifu Seth. His skills are clearly examined in real application, and are well-balanced between effectiveness and intellectual value. From my understanding, his attitude is critical in a health way. They also provide weapon training which I personally found very interesting. Stickly sword/staff/stick/saber of Taichi is not all. Again, techniques of main-stream taichi got examined here. What remains sound are kept in the teaching. Members of Ziran martial arts developed an casual and welcoming atmosphere. It is quite different with some karate clubs who emphasize excessively and unnecessarily on traditional etiquette. People here are bros, they usually jokes and laughs all the time. I trained only for two months with them as I have limited time around Edison. Knowing that I will be gone quite soon, they actually treated me with more attentions and made sure that I learned as much as I could before I left. I believe this unrestricted manner is consistent with the idea of Taoism which behind all the Taichi skills. Learning Taichi is both physically and intellectually beneficial. Anyone joins Ziran can easily feel what I am saying in two weeks.

I found Ziran Martial Arts after some googling, and decided to give the studio a try. After nearly a year of practicing there, I am ready to write my review. The long and short of it is, this has potentially been the best decision I have made in my adult life. I can only speak for the adult classes, but from what I have seen from recitals and seminars, the kids classes are equally good. For adults, there is Tai Chi, Kung Fu, sparring, joint manipulation and throws, sword forms and swordsmanship training, and meditation. Sifu Davis helps you work through which of these are most interesting to you--do you care about the meditative aspects, or the martial aspects, or something in the middle--and from there you attend whatever classes you want. One of the incredible things if you attend all the classes, there are many principles and applications that fit together. I have learned so much more about body mechanics and the principles behind what I had been doing in the past than I even knew existed. I thought the only thing that I cared about in martial arts were the direct applications of what I could use to defend myself if I were ever attacked. What I have discovered instead is there is an entire science of body principles that I have been using through muscle memory that I now have the opportunity to actually learn. I especially appreciate what is taught here, because the mechanics are designed to preserve your body and your ability to continue practicing well into your 50's, 60's, and 70's--one of the things that I never considered as a child because I didn't have to was whether or not the martial arts I was doing was putting a strain on my knees or other joints. I am very grateful that I am learning things that I can use to protect myself that are not going to hurt me in the long run now, before I have done damage to my body. There is also a fantastic community amongst the students. After attending classes for a year, I know nearly everyone by name. Everyone is incredibly friendly and supportive of one another. There is a large age range amongst the adults, which means there are people from all walks of life. We work together on forms during classes, and you can always ask another student or one of the assistant instructors to show you a part of the form. Sparring is always friendly, not competitive, and no one brings any sort of anger or attitude into class. When doing joint manipulations and throws, I have always trusted my partner to go slowly and give feedback about whether or not things are working, and respond to feedback. There are other graduate students and professors. I have been given advice about everything from schoolwork and life to how to better take care of kittens that I recently adopted. People offer to drive someone who biked over back home after class when it unexpectedly starts to rain. The studio sometimes does weekend seminars on special topics, and there are barbecues after the seminar. There's a yearly winter holiday party. There are a number of tournaments that people have the option to participate in, or to go to support participants. The community and the friends that I have gained through practicing at this studio is irreplaceable to me. All in all, I could not recommend this studio highly enough. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to practice here. Anyone who is looking for the entire range of traditional Tai Chi principles and forms to direct and incredibly practical applications should come and give this studio a try.
