I've been learning from Tony Sensei off and on for the last two years and, really, he's the best.

All I could think of was all the injuries my little ones would come home with. It's been a year and a half now and even though there's been a few bruises I can't imagine not being part of the Hybrid family. Everyone there has been so welcoming and they constantly encourage everyone to be their best. The kids have learned not just TKD, Boxing and Wrestling skills they are learning self defense and more importantly respect for everyone and everything. Hybrid will always be part of our family.

Every friend i brought with me wanted to sign up after just one class, and the friendliness and atmosphere of this gym is incredible. If work life didn't get in my way, I'd still be going to this gym to this day. I could not recommend this gym more. If you're new to MMA or a veteran, go in for a trial, and see for yourself.

Not only did they not honor the two free months, she additionally would not stop charging me for months after the contract expired. I had to literally close that bank account to stop her from charging me. I paid an additional 6 months, talked with her multiple times. If you go here, they will never stop charging your card. Don't do it!!!!

Everyone here is friendly, approachable, and welcoming. I honestly thought joining a Muay Thai gym would be intimidating, but it's been the exact opposite. The owners, coaches, staff, and members have created an environment where beginners and experienced athletes alike feel comfortable and supported. The academy emphasizes a respectful, inclusive community and welcomes people of all skill levels. One of my favorite features is the weight room, which is a great bonus alongside the training. The facility is well maintained, and I've heard they are constantly making improvements and upgrades to keep the academy growing. If you've ever been curious about Muay Thai but felt nervous about trying it, don't be. Take advantage of their free trial class and see for yourself. Chances are you'll get hooked just like I did. The combination of authentic training, great people, and a strong community makes this place something special.

After doing trials at a couple of places, we settled on Longman, and could not be happier with our choice. Instructor Bret has built an exceptional program at Longman Martial arts. His teaching style is patient yet firm. He understands when to be strict and when to be compassionate, and the results are undeniable. My kids both love going to class, and their progress has pretty remarkable. They are both so much more coordinated and confident in their bodies, and I see progress in their discipline as well. Perhaps the most important thing that separates Longman from other martial arts studios is the flexible scheduling. The tuition includes up to 3 days a week, and kids' classes are available 5-6 days a week, depending on which class you're enrolled in. That flexibility makes it so much easier for parents, because you're not tied to a rigid schedule.

Sir (Michael Sanchez) is super knowledgeable and passionate about teaching Taekwondo to others. He wants you to improve and is willing to go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. This is a small school where students and their families become your Taekwondo family. You will quickly be accepted into this family and will be held accountable for attending class, which I believe shows this school's family atmosphere. Each time I arrived, I was happily greeted by all the students (especially the younger kids) and their parents. I think the younger kids viewed me like an older sister, which was awesome. There aren't complicated membership packages or different clubs depending on your belt level. Sir charges a super affordable monthly rate for all students; you can cancel whenever you want. Ultimate Kicks TKD focuses on Olympic Style Taekwondo; we spar in almost every class. When we aren't sparring, we are learning valuable combinations to use when sparring. Each class is a solid workout; I am always drenched in sweat after an hour of working out. Students learn the Taegeuk forms as color belts, and then move on to the black belt forms series once they graduate to black belt. This is a quality TKD school and I highly recommend it.
