My daughter was been going here for a few months and she is loving the classes. The instructor is engaging and my daughter really responds to their teaching methods. She has recently received her yellow belt.

Curtis Karate is an amazing dojo. Both of my kids are on the autism spectrum, and they've been attending for about 2 1/2 years now. My older son, who is introverted and very shy, didn't want to go at first, but by the end of his trial class, he surprised me by saying, "Sign me up!" I couldn't believe it. My younger son, also very shy, didn't want to join the school program but opted for private lessons instead. After his first lesson, he told me to "sign him up for life." What sets Curtis Karate apart is how much they focus on building self-esteem while teaching valuable self-defense skills. The instructors give the kids the courage to keep pushing, even when they want to give up, because they know each child has it in them to be their best. I've recommended this dojo to several friends, and a few of their kids have joined as well. The staff is incredible--they greet every child by name and treat everyone like family. They even go beyond the dojo; if I'm concerned about my kids' behavior at home, the instructors take the time to talk to them and encourage better choices. Curtis Karate is more than just a karate studio--it's a supportive, uplifting community for kids and families alike.

My boys go crazy over this place we love how it give them opportunities to improve and grow. We also love how it is never empty and the Sensei's are always kind and enthusiastic about teaching. Over its a great place would recommend.

My son had just started here & I absolutely love it! I love the message behind everything. We were hesitant because my son is very shy and gets overwhelmed, Sensei Jesse has gone above and beyond to make my son feel soo welcome and comfortable. It brought me to tears how he treated him so respectfully and he pulled a few kids to hangout with my son and pump him up! Every instructor we have had goes above and beyond for each class to make their students have fun while doing the class. I recommend this place over & over again! Thanks for being amazing!!!

My daughter received her black belt and still trains. My son has started his journey and is a handful. He is 4 years old and don't sit still long. However, he is exceling here at the dojo. They have a way of capturing his attention and keeping him on task. He is family here. They try to develop respect, focus, and good character. I am excited to see him grow as did my daughter.

I've been training at Fight Syndicate MMA for several months now, and am taking private…read morekickboxing/Muay Thai lessons with Coach Eddie. The experience has been great. My training has been tailored to my needs and fitness level, with adjustments as skill and fitness increase. Everyone has been great, and I've interacted with several of the coaches and the owner Beau. I've experienced nothing but kindness and helpfulnes. I haven't taken the BJJ classes, but I am a BJJ purple belt and have observed the classes and instructor(s) there. It's solid, fundamental BJJ and the safety of the students is emphasized. I've seen a couple negative reviews, specifically commenting on people being rude or the environment being dangerous for beginners, and to me that's frankly ridiculous and makes me quite suspicious of the reviewers themselves. Especially the one by "Janice C." who claims she trained Muay Thai in Thailand and was somehow concerned by the practices at Fight Syndicate. That's a fairly laughable claim; the Thai's train brutally hard. Emphasis on "brutal". I am a recreational fighter, and the training has been well suited to my recreational intent. I'll work hard, but nothing like you'd see at a Thai camp and I've never once been hurt or put in a situation where I felt at risk of being hurt.

I can't say enough on how Dan Henderson's gym improved my boys life. My boys went from timid,…read moreuncoordinated, scared of everything even a ball, very soft boys to Confident, motivated and strong boys. The gym affected every area in their life. They can play dodgeball and kickball which they couldn't before. They don't get bullied anymore and still are able to keep their kind and gentle demeanor. It wasn't easy at first they hated the gym the 1st, 5 months but I told them, they had to give it a year. Now they love the gym and they are so happy have the skills set. They are still white belts and will probably never be fighters but they are no longer cowards. The atmosphere is a close group who all are very kind, and patient, yet the best of the best fighters who are tough but humble. Love the coaches Joe, Sam, Trevor, Louie all of these guys do a great job encouraging these kids. If you have a kid who is weak, scared of a ball, completely uncoordinated, take them to Dan's give it a year make them go faithfully at least 2x a week to jujitsu or wrestling and they will make your child have confidence and courage. It will improve their future. Don't worry your kid won't become a jerk they stay humble. I can't thank the Dan's gym enough on how my boys improved.

This place is like the gym Average Joe's in the movie Dodge Ball (except not the good guys, just…read morethe average part). They have some great instructors, but unfortunately the members create an atmosphere of insecurity and fear. If you show up with any experience, confidence, or heaven forbid are good looking, in shape, and not religious, then you will be hated like you're a Globo Gym member. Not only will they hate you, they will begin to spread lies and rumors about you and give you dirty glances. We witnessed them allow a member to continuously cause trouble, disobey the rules of the mat, and disrespect other members of the gym and the instructors and manager never did anything until after 9 months of not paying his dues they finally kicked him out. This guy was over 6' tall, 270 pounds, tattoos on his face... he was intimidating. He was also a very poor sport, no sportsmanship and no regard for etiquette. He threw tantrums when he didn't get submissions in jiu jitsu, he was always challenging the upper ranked belts to prove himself, he tried to start physical altercations with professional fighters at fight night, he tried to start fights with my husband threatening him through text, and they even allowed this member's young son to accost little girls in jiu jitsu, making creepy comments to them, and bullying other members of all ages, much like his father. There is a heavy Christian influence pervading the place, which seems to encourage the negative behavior. They forgive the bully over and over which punishes the victims. That member was just one example of the culture at large. Be aware of the groups of women who are there every day who act like they own the place and bully around doing what they want without consequences, acting like their membership doesn't cost the same as yours. If you want to go back to high school but pay for it, then this is your spot.

I'm back in the gym scene, peeps!! Level 12 has been following me on the gram for quite some time…read morenow. When a former gym member from my old gym contacted me to try it out, I was game. I'd been thinking about it but just never went ahead with a trial or anything. Welp, that ended today. I didn't see them on Yelp, so what's an Elite to do?! Start them off on the right foot of course!! I don't think a lot of people know about them, so help me spread the word!! Went in for the 5:30pm class and it was rough, but I went through the motions led by Master Lee and just did the damn thang!! Lol...did I die? Nope...but I sure did feel like it at the end!! Listen up kids, don't fall back or it'll be hard to get back on! That being said, don't let this place scare you. You get breaks in between. Of course if you're a beginner, you just go at your own pace and do the best you can. They're happy to accommodate all fitness levels. What they offer: - 30 minute circuit interval training (Kickboxing included!) - 12 Levels - Full body exercise with warm up and cool down stretching - Taekwondo classes for all levels - Family friendly - Self defense courses - Clean facility - Plenty of FREE parking - 24 hr. access for members I definitely needed this! Come out and give them a try. Get off the couch and have some fun, make new friends and have fun doing it!! You'll be glad you did! Maybe I'll see ya there! ;)

Level 12 has been the answer to my prayers!!! Master Lee has created the best "bang" for your…read moretime!! There are 12 main levels that you spend one minute straight on. There's 8 heavy bags of different sizes and shapes to perform an array of punch and/or kicks on. 2 stations that time you on how many front kicks and punches you can do within a minute. And a tire flip station and a sled push station, then there's a rest minute in between stations that you will perform another exercise such as battle ropes, burpees, crunches, TRX band, deadlifts, box jumps etc...for 30 seconds and then rest for the remainder 30 seconds. Every week the workouts change so it's not boring at all! I have been going 6 days a week for the past 5 weeks! I can't get enough and the strength, stamina and weight loss I'm feeling is amazing! I have a 5 month old babygirl that I tend to so being able to get a hardcore workout in 30 minutes plus being able to take her with me to class is priceless!! If you're looking for an intense but quick workout! This is the place you need to be!!

We stumbled upon Bob Chaney's Martial arts at the beginning of the year. We were looking for a…read moreplace that would be more than a karate class, not just another face in their class, but a class that was more personable. I searched numerous websites, read reviews, and ultimately scheduled the initial 2 day private lessons with Master Chaney. I am a very over barring mom, I never leave or trust my kids with anyone, HOWEVER, upon meeting Master Chaney I seen the love and dedication she has for her students, and the studio. She is stern, but loving and gentle when need be. She treats every student with respect, and instills respect and manners with all students. Master Chaney knows every student on a personal level, and I was impressed with how fast she picked up on strengthens and weaknesses my kids had. We chose to put our kids in Martial arts one to build more confidence and for the other as a form release of built up aggression. We have two children who are polar opposites, and Master Chaney noticed right away and helps each student individually without catering. I'm not sure how she balances everything out, but she does. She is an amazing teacher, and I know how much she loves and cares of each student and those around her. I've seen my children grow in confidence, they are more dedicated to task they take on, they've learned more life lessons in self defense and being aware of surrounds. I've seen my kids so focused and eager to learn more in Marital arts. They are constantly perfecting their moves, always trying to do better. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a place for their children, or even themselves. What I love most about this studio, is that everyone is like family, and Master Chaney keeps it that way. Always encouraging social engagement with family and friends. About inside of studio: Master Chaney's studio is equipped with everything you would need. Also, another great thing that happened when we signed up, was Master Chaney had EVERYTHING you would need for signing up. I mean, we had no idea what to buy. What sizes, cups, uniforms, sparing gear, etc. She had it all! Down to mouth guards! Master Chaney's number one concern is safety, and I was so happy to know I didn't have to drive around looking for every piece of equipment my children needed. They thought of everything. We are very proud to be members in Bob Chaney Martial Art studios. There is also a gym to workout in while you're waiting for your children to finish their lessons.

We joined Master Chaney's about a year ago and it's been a great experience for my son. At first he…read morewas extremely shy and hesitant, but with the patience and instruction from Master Chaney, he's really come out of his shell. I'd encourage anyone who's interested to check them out. I think it's especially beneficial for the younger kids as it's a great way to get them socialized and more disciplined.
