SOGMA has been a really great place for my son to grow in discipline, confidence and of course his…read morephysical abilities. I enrolled him over a year ago when he was just 3 1/2 years old. The first class was free and was an assessment to gauge if he would fit well in a class setting. Fortunately, he was able to follow instructions and we've been going since! He absolutely loves it there! All of the coaches are awesome and will really take the time to teach the littles correct form. It's really a friendly family environment, Coach Cliff and Miss Deb are always so welcoming and their daughter "Sissy" is my son's fav! Fun fact: They call my kiddo "Dinosaur" because when he first started he was so shy and didn't know how to make friends so he'd roar at everyone lol it just basically stuck! Overall I'd definitely recommend SOGMA for anyone wanting to get their kiddos into martial arts, I'm sure they'd love it as well!

We are grateful for this team and everything they do. This is truly a place we trust. Both my son…read moreand daughter joined the classes, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. My son is autistic, so we decided to start with private lessons. Following instructions can be challenging for my son, but Mr. Castro has shown incredible patience, kindness, and understanding. He truly took the time to build trust with my son, and that has made all the difference. We've seen such meaningful progress -- my son is now able to follow instructions and always tries his very best in every session. We truly appreciate the care and dedication that goes into working with him. My daughter has grown so much since joining as well. She's becoming stronger, more disciplined, and confident. Out of all the activities she's tried, martial arts is the one she loves the most. She stays focused in class and is currently enrolled in kickboxing, but she's always curious about the other martial arts programs they offer. I love seeing both of them grow stronger!
