Honestly I can't say enough great things about this studio. We have been a part of this studio for…read morealmost 2 years. My kids have gained confidence a hundred fold and the instructors are amazing at meeting each of my kids where they are to help them develop both physically and intellectually.

He taught me more Kenpo than I taught him mixed kempo. He said he liked Dominic Retana and he was one of his best students in town and His brother Phil Retana was one of the best next after his brother Dominic. Both come highly Reccomended to me by him and Phil's brother, Dominic, is maybe the only one I would reccomend before him.

I have studied at Aaction Martial Arts for over 6 years now. I already knew I wanted to study…read moreKENPO, but I did extensive research on other martial arts schools in Springfield. The instructors here are top notch, and I could not possibly be any more impressed with their professionalism and knowledge in the art of KENPO Karate. Their patience and wisdom at this school is second to none. There is also a lineage to Grandmaster Ed Parker the founding father to American KENPO. In my opinion this ranks it number one in Springfield, Missouri. Please understand that when you come to the school there is an unwritten code here, "EARNED NEVER GIVEN," you will advance only with hard work and perseverance. Call Phil Retana today and schedule a time to come to the studio and chat. Walking in the door the very first time really is the hardest part.

In my humble opinion, Kokoro is the best jiu jitsu school in Springfield. Steve and his staff have…read morecreated a wonderful, open environment for both men and women (a lot of women love training here). Steve is also very detail oriented, having a background in education and as a crossfit trainer, he really knows how to teach the finer points of jiu jitsu to make sure your technique actually works on larger or stronger opponents. Lastly, something I really appreciate about starting out at Kokoro was the fact that we had a super clear curriculum, which meant everybody knew what they needed to learn and be able to perform to get their next belt. A lot of gyms operate on a "bro code", when the coach thinks your ready type of promotion system, or just promote based on competitive ability... my wife and I both appreciate the clarity.

There's no pressure to do anything I'm not comfortable with, the classes are fun, and everyone is friendly. Because the classes follow a fundamentals-based curriculum (and because Steve is a great teacher), the concepts are all accessible to beginners regardless prior experience or physical fitness level. Within just a couple of weeks after starting regular classes I started noticing myself progressing and became addicted! And it's far more fun than most types of exercise because your brain is engaged while you're sweating!

Passed through town for work and found this place was close to my hotel. They welcomed me in with…read moreopen arms for a drop on. Solid class structure, a decent amount of colored belts and nice clean facility. For reference, I am a purple belt under Jeff Messina out of Revolution Dojo in Houston, Tx, I'd recommend you stop by to see these guys if you're in the area. I travel a lot for work and have been to multiple gyms and can say this spot is legit.

I've been working out at infinity for almost a year now and it is hands down the best MMA gym I…read morehave been a part of.

We have many people who participate in competition MMA, kickboxing, and jiu jitsu, but we also have a large body of individuals who come for the fitness classes we put on. Everybody is family at infinity and you can feel the love and support from the staff and clients during every class and workout!

I look forward to showing up, knowing I'm actually improving and at my own pace.
