My wife and I were in Reno for the week visiting family and just looking for a place to continue…read moreour training to burn some calories and meet new people. I messaged Gary to see if it would be ok to stop by and he was very accommodating. There were plenty of people to train with from white belt to black belt and everybody was very friendly. I've been training for more than 10 years at various gyms and I've never felt more welcomed - that's a testament to the owner. He even taught us some details on a few techniques that will help us evolve our games. I would highly recommend this gym for Reno residents and out of towners trying to drop in to get some rolls in.

I have first found this martial arts school in the early 90's and I was super impressed with how…read moreknowledgeable the instructors were. Yes, this is the oldest Martial Arts school in Nevada from back in the 50's and it has a lot of history. I came back in the late 90's to train seriously. I've been active ever since. It's a traditional Japanese based jiu-jitsu school and they have a donation based - nonprofit pricing structure that is very affordable. To top that off, the blackbelts are some of the most knowledgeable in the area. Typically, more knowledgeable than the for profit schools in the Reno/Sparks area. There is a good family atmosphere, it's not a "cage fighting school" or "sport BJJ school" but it does have some serious training taking place. I couldn't be happier with the years of traditional jiu-jitsu training that I got here. I give this school an easy 5 stars.

I have just started on my Jiu Jitsu journey, but I think I've already found my home…read more They have gi (traditional martial arts type outfit) and no gi (shorts and compression shirt) classes. There are usually two classes everyday, so it accommodates many schedules. All of the instructors are high knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They are also very good teachers. It's one thing to just be a good athlete and it's a totally different thing to be able to transfer your knowledge to someone else. They are very good at teaching techniques and actually demonstrating them. Another great part of this gym is the other students. There's a wide variety of skill levels and body types. They are all willing to work with you and give you pointers. No egos, but a lot of high level competitors are training in the gym. I would say if you have any interest in Jiu Jitsu to just come in and watch a class. If you like what you see they'll let you try a class or two. I'm sure you'll find it's an awesome place to train, just like I have.

We pulled up to the facility and my husband had told me it was previously a boxing gym he used to work out at so he was familiar with the place. As we walked in, we were greeted and was advised to fill out a liability form. There are no shoes allowed on the mats, so there was definitely a smell of shoes, socks, feet (similar to walking into Chuck E. Cheese in the 90's) area but as you walk in further in the smell dissipates. We were advised not to play on the boxing ring, which was ok but everything else was open! The best things that I loved was that they offered activities for the kids to do: tug a war, obstacle course, and nerf gun playtime! I noticed the instructors of the gym were interacting with the kids whether it was being chased with nerf guns or playing tug a war. They were teaching some kids how to properly kick! They also allow outside food advising food may be eaten on the green turf/carpet area. 90 minutes of play time and 30 minutes of food time is perfect! This is definitely a great option for birthdays to get kids energy out in a safe environment!

The review give by Mike is completely inaccurate. This Dojo (room or hall where judo or karate is…read morepracticed) is over the top helpful with instructors that go out of their way to help when a student is having difficulty. If a student gets hurt (which is rare but it is Karate, unarmed combat by definition) the class stops and the needs of the student is immediately addressed. The instructors are patient but do insist that each form or technique is learned correctly. As it should be, this is self defense. If not learned properly the student will be at risk if they ever need to use what they have been instructed. The student is never pushed to progress faster than they can but always receive positive reinforcement. An advantage I see in this school is that it has students that have belted in other forms of martial arts. This allows the new student with little or no background in Karate to get a broader perspective of Karate. The Dojo is true to it's style which is Shorin-Ryu so even while there are students that have studied other forms the instruction is pure Shorin-Ryu. It is a family like atmosphere not a military atmosphere like some schools I have visited. I have found this approach to actually help students progress faster with better skill because they are not directed with fear of making a mistake. In my opinion if you want to learn to protect yourself and are willing to practice along with showing up for class this is a school that will allow for very satisfying success

Full disclosure we are friends with the Freeman's…read more I am writing this review not for today but the past. My children both took Karate here. I love Sensei Kelly as he is knowledgeable and loves what he does. He has a very kind demeanor, amazing amounts of patience and is able to teach even the youngest Karate. He is able to maintain respect in a fun and friendly environment. It is wonderful to watch the three year old class. Kelly teaches Japanese Okinawan traditional karate. This dojo also participates in several Karate tournaments throughout the year. This is a family owned and family run business. I could rave about this dojo all day.
