My son and I love coming here. We've been members now for the past two years. I looked at a lot of…read moremartial arts schools in the area and SMA was the perfect fit for my schedule and budget. When I came in to speak to Jana about signing up, she told me about their adult kickboxing program. I was hooked! I made the decision to stop being a spectator and join in on the action. This experience has changed my son and I for the better. His behavior has improved and the principles he learns in class help him communicate better than he ever has. We look forward to growing more as a family and improve together.

I wrote an honest subjective narrative about my experience with SMA and now I'm being threatened by…read morethe owners of this place to take my rating down or they will take me to court for "defamation". Talk about bullies. I thought martial arts was supposed to be a place to combat bullies? I will not be silenced. I joined the SMA kickboxing classes in January 2016 via a Living Social Deal iLoveKickboxing. After those classes were used, I decided to purchase 35 classes. The instructor was absolutely INCREDIBLE. If this review was for him, it would get 5 stars. However, he is no longer teaching there. I noticed recently that SMA exchanged most of their kickboxing branding from iLoveKickboxing to "SMA X-Treme", while still keeping the iLoveKickboxing products and not purchasing anything new. The bags are in terrible condition with hardly any padding left and someone could get seriously injured. I did my research and noticed that they are no longer members of the iLoveKickboxing website. When asked when they'll be getting new bags. They say they have no money. So my question is... Where are the members fees going? Where is the money from the children's karate classes going? To the owner's vacations? To their pyramid schemes that they constantly force upon their clients on Facebook? (31 gifts, Isagenix, etc.). I have at least 20 classes left of my membership and I'd rather throw away my money than go back to a place that mistreats their employees and their clientele. (I would like to note that I have not talked to my old instructor about this review and he has done nothing to influence my decision to write this review. In fact, he begged me to take it down. But I would not because I think it's more important to stick up for what I believe in).

He also was able to see my son that week. The week before my son didn't even want to go to school and was scared. After Matt's private lesson, he had a regained sense of confidence and went to school again without being terrified. You can see Matt truly cares about the kids and is so passionate about karate. Thank you Matt, you will never know what this meant to us!

He started attending classes this year, and has never once said "I don't wanna go!" when it's time to leave - which, in our house, is unheard of. All of the instructors are kind and inclusive while remaining firm (not yelling, though) with their students. There's a focus on internal growth that as a parent I appreciate. I expect he'll be enrolled there for many years to come!

So it's almost the end of my unlimited month .... I found I…read morewas only able to come maybe 2x a week average with my work schedule and their schedule... I love that the place is clean and new I also found that the guys talk way slower in class than the girls. Not that the ladies don't have a good class but most of the time they talk so fast that I have no idea if I can keep up with what they are doing lol. I mean it wouldn't stop me from going to their classes but I would just keep moving - I may not be doing what everyone else is but hey - I'm moving which is really my goal right now . I found that I can keep up with the guys much better. That is just my preference- Friday 930 class and Sunday am class have been my favorite so far

They have plenty of different times to take classes as well as different trainers so it is flexible with your schedule. I have really enjoyed Jessie and Danielle's classes!

Most frequent users prefer it on the hotter side. It was under 160 degrees this morning which is an improvement from 140 degrees last week so I increased the score. With consistency at 160 degrees or above I will continue to update my review positively. Obviously lower than 160 degrees will result in a lower score.
