The class instructors (we've had two different ones) seem to understand the age & levels of accomplishment of each child - this is the most important part of the class. My kiddo comes home all smiles and enjoys returning each week for classes. Annual membership is $35 & pays for whole family. I cannot say that the class prices are a "bargain," but with the instructors that are available, I think we paid a good price for what we get. The only upgrades I'd suggest is a viewing area for all activities (there is one part of gym that I'm unable to see) and a little dusting action upstairs...seems to be some dust bunnies growing on the ceiling decorations.

We have been going to Pattens Martial Arts for just over 3 months now and have nothing but good things to say. I did read some other reviews regarding the contract. Yes there is a contract, and it lasts for a year. However Jason is the type of person to work with you if you give sufficient notice. He mentioned to me that if I need to quit for any reason to give him 30 days notice. Not that we have any intention of quitting, it's nice to know that going in. My son James absolutely loves class. It was hard at first for him to form to the structure, but once he did, we noticeably saw differences with him. He shows confidence and loves the challenge of getting to the next level. Jason gives you the first month free and that is to see if your child will like it and be a good fit. I knew from the first class this was something we wanted to do long term. Again, I strongly recommend this to anyone with kids over the age of 4.

How many organizations have you attended you felt, from the first time you entered, you would be…read morethere for the long run? If you have watched any martial art style movies, do the adversaries suffer the most? You are welcome to number all the various punches by name. An instructor explained to me; "A punch, is a punch, is a punch, no mater what name you give it." This person was and is Dan Insonto. His daughter was being pushed around in a baby carriage, at the time. She probably 33 years old by now. I would tell anyone I feel Aikido is passive/aggressive. You all understand inertia. A body in motion, shall remain in motion, until acted upon by an outside source. Aikido, to me, isn't aggressive until that object (a person) begins to strike. Aikido uses the forward momentum of your aggressor as an advantage, keeping the aggressor in motion, as a directed advantage, like crashing a plane. Should an aggressor come soft, that person will be stopped softer. However, coming full strength will result in the aggressor saying; "Father forgive me, for I have sinned in my thoughts, my words, and what I failed to do." The body of this organization is made up of professional people, from various well groomed industries. Saying this is to explain anyone willing to learn, will have the very best group of trained professionals found anywhere. If you are 8 yrs old, you will be taught. If you're of an "old school," willing to learn, you will be taught, not judged. However, No One begins, without being stretched out in more places than flees on a hunting dog! Do your homework. Come with an open mind, observe, speak with everyone having positive open mind the way the young mighty mights show up, with respect. Give your best and you will get the best!
