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).

The instructor Alex asked…read moreme to get in turtle (a compromised position) while he tried to submit me my goal is to not get submitted. I ended up getting smothered a few minutes in and I tapped and said I need to reset because of my elbow. He proceeded to tell me "this is not how that works" (ON MY FIRST CLASS! ) when I asked to get up. I had to use everything I had to get to a position so I could breathe and eventually force the instructor off. I wouldn't recommend this gym to anyone honestly. The owner came in and told me to quote "get the fuck out". Thuggish, little rules, not clean. Sad that an instructor has the ability to strip the fun out of such an amazing combat sport.
