I am very pro discipline and teem building being prior military....our kids need discipline! I understand expecting discipline and helping the next generation not be so soft. It's why I signed my kid up for Karate. But with leadership, there comes balance in leading without being so power hungry. Some of the talking down to students is not necessary. Expectations to do their best is necessary but some need to work on their delivery to get the level of respect they feel they deserve. To lead you must know when to fallow.

It is the wisest decision I ever made. Before long, my entire family was training together. Now I am 50 years old and everybody in my family has benefited from the life skills we learned. The Sensei is one of the senior instructors in the International Shotokan Karate Federation. Not only is the Sensei top notch, he has a group of assistant instructors that know the art and teach it to exact standards. The dojo philosophy is one that is in keeping with the disciplines and culture of Japanese Karate. My personal experience there has been one of constant encouragement but I have also been challenged to push myself farther than I felt I could go. At this dojo, the new students train along side the advanced students. Because of this the advance students never forget the basics and the beginners learn to respect themselves and each other because of the examples set before them. I would recommend this dojo to any student regardless of experience or age.

This might not be for everyone if they don't want their kids to be opening the bible and having teaching time. They also pray with the students. They have a free trial for those who want to try it out. They offer mainly karate and krav maga. It gets intense when they go into krav maga. Ive been participating in krav maga for over a year and I see the difference it does to your body. They give the kids achievable steps to earn their belts. By making sure they know their kata or strike test, and knowing their belts. We have been attending for 3 years and we love Savior Martial Arts.

In addition to yoga and female self defense classes, they're the only certified Gracie Jui Jitsu gym around; there are even photos of the owners/instructors with Grand Master Rorion taken in the gym. They run unlimited membership trial specials ranging from 10-14 days at no cost, including a uniform! Our son has been enrolled in "Gracie Bulleyproof" since Oct 2017 and he loves it; though he's small for his age, we like that Gracie has structured rules of engagement, first focusing on avoiding altercations then preparing him how to diffuse situations and defend himself as a last resort. The non-striking aspect was key, especially since he's likely to "practice" on his younger boy-so-littler brother. All of his instructors really care about the kids and take time to teach/demonstrate on their levels of understanding and experience. Our son's favorite is Bernardo, who just happens to be from Brazil! The gym does a great job of making you feel like a member of a family while also valuing you as a paying customer. Going out of town for a long period of time? They've allowed us to freeze our membership without ridicule! It's a worthwhile investment and experience that I personally wish I would have undertaken sooner.
