I came into Dojo on a Groupon, and trained with Brandon/Martial arts expert/Kung Fu/Brazilian Jiu…read moreJitsu master for several weeks. The studio is located in Noda, a few blocks away from the new Harris Teeter. I was very impressed with Brandon's teaching style/method, the classes, his overall outlook, and positive-centered approach to training. The cool thing about Brandon is that he can either plan a regimented routine, or make up an impromptu session without a lot of forethought. I came in with a group of friends, giving Brandon only a few days notice, and he was able to execute a training session with us, as beginners, and his other, advanced practice students in the same class. He also keeps you motivated and driven, without being stern or harsh. He has a very easygoing. pleasant nature, and in spite of his advanced background, he teaches on a fundamental basis for those who are new to these types of activities. I felt challenged with each class, but not overly so. And I felt that I became better conditioned during the weeks that I trained here. They play a nice eclectic mix of music, which enhances the workout. It does get hot in the studio in the summer, because the a/c is either not working, or is not going full force, but this unpleasantry can be avoided if you go in the fall, when it is not hot outside. There is not a lot of parking, but we were not affected, as the class size was fairly small, and not a lot of people were there during our sessions, but parking could be a problem if the class sizes increase. If you can catch him during a class when his son (who is 2 or so) in the studio with Mom, you'll get the added bonus of watching Brandon do some backflips/ mid-air flip jumps, and handstands, which he is apparently teaching to his son!
