I have been at Z for about 5 years, started when I was about 8. At first, it was absolutely…read moreincredible. Up until about 3 1/2 months ago, I thought it was the best dojo in the world, because it really was great. Sensei Kaz was dedicated, kind, disciplined, fun but strict when needed. He was the best instuctor you could possibly ask for. About 3 1/2-4ish months ago, right before a tournament, the masters stripped him of his position at the dojo. They moved him away and stripped one of his belt ranks and replaced him with Master Clark's daughter. They did this with no explanation to the parents or the students and when asked they said that Sensei Kaz was doing "advanced training" at the Northgate dojo, but it has been over 3 months and he still is not back. I thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn't. At the tournament, I saw Sensei Kaz looking worse than I had ever seen him, sad, lonely, and missing a belt rank and his instructors uniform. For no reason whatsoever, he was stripped of his certification, his dojo, and a belt rank. To add insult to injury, Sensei Hannah, the woman who took over for Sensei Kaz, made multiple changes to the dojo, disrupting students routine. She canceled the demonstration team at the dojo, she canceled the instructor program where students get to shadow and learn the process of being an instructor, she combined the teens and adults classes on Saturday, and she completely changed the class structure. Not only that, but she also made multiple price increases. Needless to say, I am switching dojo's and would no longer recommend Z. It used to be a great dojo, but now it has turned into a money farm and a belt factory. They used to prioritize students, now they prioritize a quick buck and it all changed in a week, surely shows how much they care about the well-being of their students. If you value proper training, useable skills, and earning your belts, I do not recommend. If you want to pay an arm and a leg for basic training plus an extra fee for belt tests just so that you can be pumped through with everyone else to increase another persons profit, then go right ahead and sign up. So sad to say this because Z really was the best part of my life for so long, but none of the instructors at that dojo care anymore, the only of who gave a crap about the students was Sensei Kaz and he was removed for just that. If you do choose to sign a contract with Z, good luck. By the way, Sensei Hannah is not the problem, she is actually verry nice, a little annoying with the amount of times she calls about minute things, but nice. It's the way the dojo in general is treating people, including their long standing instructors.

I have been Krav Maga for almost three months and I really do enjoy every day I go…read more Taking Krav Maga helps with my confidence, self esteem, and health. And more importantly how to keep myself safe in dangerous alterations. As I get better with techniques I plan to get more into martial arts and self defense. All the instructors are all amazing and very good at teaching the right techniques I and others are learning.

I had a Groupon and tried them out for a month early in 2022. I joined them as a level 2 (orange…read morebelt) from another krav maga school that had to close down for a couple of months to relocate and I didn't want to lose momentum during the break. Pros: The instruction at KMSC was solid, the other students were nice, the facility was well maintained and had lots of toys (kickbags, padded walls, gear, etc.). Cons: 3 issues that helped me decide not to do a second month while I was waiting on my primary school to relocate. 1 - I got a bad vibe from one of the business owner's who tried to pressure me to sign up for the next month on my first night (before my first class) in order to lock in the best rate. 2 - They allow too many students to sign up for a given class. For the more popular class times, there were several nights that month where we couldn't do the full technique we were being instructed because there wasn't enough mat space which defeats the purpose. 3 - This school has a strict "no shoe" policy on the mats... which sounds good on paper, but it's KRAV MAGA... we are grabbing, grapling, sweating on each other, etc. I played along and went bare foot like the rest of the students and I got a mild rash on my foot. Nothing major and it cleared up quickly, but I would rather role around on sneaker mats than go barefoot on other people's sweat. At my other school, we kept our sneakers on. That may sound gross at first, but think on this: gas pumps and door knobs are dirtier than toilet seats... you really think the bottom of your shoes are cleaner than your partner's hands that they are using to grab your face? Fortunately, my first school has recently re-opened, so I'm happy to be going back there. KMSC is not terrible, but just not for me. So... do with that what you will.

As far as gear goes, I'm an astrophile, so I loved the galaxy look of everything right away and was ecstatic to find that not only did it look good, but performed even better. The gloves I purchased are some of the most comfortable and durable that I own, and I cannot WAIT to grab rash guards and spats! As for training, I came to Alex and Jess from a traditional Okinawan karate background and found that they were able to identify some of the habits of the style right away. This helped me to understand how to quickly translate the knowledge I already had to pick up more of the boxing, MMA, and Muay Thai techniques that they specialize in. I think what I appreciate most is how they approach training for newbies and kids. My teenager had almost no prior training background, is introverted, and is not very physical by nature, by the end of a pretty intense session she was asking about getting her own gear! Truly a place where you will be treated like family and pushed to be your best, no matter if you're looking for fitness, pro coaching, or self-defense.

I didn't find any issues looking for parking. Feels: The area is filled with other eatery and hobby spots so for parents dropping their kids off for their class or looking to eat something, thrift shop, get comics, there are some spots here to hang around. The gym itself is pretty cool. It's pretty clean and spacious. There's a toddler section for kids to play, there's a wall of fame where customers share their accomplishment medals and two workout stations. Their restrooms are clean and they got an ice bath! WORKOUT SESSION: We did the strength and conditioning workout and they put you to work out. I like the pair system and the circuit station. The people were pretty supportive and my entire body got a workout. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Jody and Justin are awesome! Friendly people and supportive of our health goals. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Reasonable price, great workout choices, and good company. I appreciate the overall vibes here. Usually, these spots are intimidating but once knowing them is really fun. Nothing flashy but professional and personable where you're inspired to get healthier. Looking forward to coming back here the next time I'm in the area.

He has built something amazing that reflects his enthusiastic, compassionate, and high standards personality. Ive been to dozens of mma/bjj gyms and probably hundreds of traditional gyms in my life and there Is nothing that compares to the warm hearts of the Mercs family and what they have built. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed like family. Not only is this place ran by an amazing couple, but the training is some of THE BEST I've had in 25 years of fitness. There is a wholistic approach and each session has a the proper mix of education and intensity. There is a level of detail in every aspect of training. And while the gym offers group classes, each one has a one on one feel. I can say enough great things about this place. You just have to check it out yourself!

I absolutely LOVE the functional and corrective training methods that are designed to have my body function at its peak performance.

Having a trainer has helped me stay consistent with my health and fitness in a way I could not do on my own. I stay training with her because I know her number one priority is my health and overall fitness. She always knows what my body needs, and I fully entrust her to do her job. It is a breath of fresh air not to have to think about what I need to do in the two hours per week I spend with her. My body has never felt better, and my quality of life consistently improves week over week, month over month, and year over year. I highly recommend it, whether you are trying to improve your health or have specific fitness goals to reach. I will be a client for life!

At this point, I was scared I would never be able to run or do high intensity work outs again. Luckily, a friend recommended me to George. We did all of our sessions over FaceTime video. Within 2 months, the pain had completely gone away. 2 months after that, George had me back at training. What was most impressive about George is that, I thought I only had an issue with my achilles, but he uncovered that I had imbalances in my hips, back, and shoulder. Now that I am back in training, I move SO much more fluid and am much stronger than I was previously. I was so impressed with my results that I have referred nearly 5 of my friends to George already and they all are having amazing results. George is truly a secret weapon.
