I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn true martial arts. I have known the…read moreowners for several years and they are kind wonderful caring people who care about teaching anyone and everyone self defense. I was once a student my self years ago and both owners were encouraging and both were very helpful to me. The owners truly care about their students being successful in not just martial arts but in life and they help you to do the best that you can and they show you and guide you to your full potential. They also help you feel confident about yourself and help you reach all of your goals. They are so proud of their students achievements and it's like a family as well. I am so glad that they are successful and hope they are successful for many more years to come.

5 stars because there's no 10 stars!…read more My family and I have been training at Dogo Krav Maga for about six months now, and I can't say enough good things about this place. From day one, we were welcomed like we'd been part of the community for years. Gustavo, Gustavo Jr., and Samantha are incredible coaches -- knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about teaching proper technique. They have a way of breaking things down so anyone can understand, whether you're brand new or already have some experience. More importantly, they really care. They notice when you're improving, they push you when you need it, and they always make sure you're learning in a safe, supportive environment. The atmosphere here is exactly what we were looking for. It truly feels like a family. No egos, no intimidation -- just people of all ages and skill levels learning, growing, and having fun together. In the six months we've been here, I've watched my family's confidence, fitness, and overall mindset improve in a way I honestly didn't expect. Being part of this community has made a real difference for us, and we're grateful to be here. If you're considering Krav Maga or just looking for a positive place to get stronger and more confident, Dogo Krav Maga is the real deal. Highly recommend.

We signed up our son in the Panda (evening) class. He attended 3 classes but unfortunately on the…read more4th class, he was hurt by the same kid THREE times and none of the instructors teaching the class paid attention or saw this. I had to call out to the instructor, who was supposed to be his mentor and was present, to tell her this kid was purposely hurting my child. In one of these incidents, he made my son bleed. The kid has been allowed to stay and Matt informed he he'd be talking to the parents and the kid. He said to him it didn't appear intentional from the videos. Yet this kid made my son bleed, hurt him and ONLY him THREE times. Unfortunately my child, who just turned four, has refused to go back. Perhaps one of the first introductory lessons should be with the child and parents about respect and safety towards fellow classmates with zero tolerance for this behavior. The only positive thing here is to say thank you to Mr. Cristian who tried his best to support our son in an attempt to help him get back to class. You are a great teacher, kind, and friendly. You, by far, showed more empathy to my son and genuine care. You will make a great sensei one day.

I first enrolled my son into the karate class for the 21 day/ $21 deal. The 21 day deal also came…read morewith a karate uniform, which is extremely generous, because I would imagine that that alone cost $21. We decided to stick with the class and my son absolutely loves it. All the teachers in this class are very nice, works well with children, responsible, respectful, knowledgeable, and very fun. I figured this would be a great set of role models for my child as well. I pay $179 a month for my child. What I love is that they have about three different times available a day and you can come as you please. You do not have to commit to a set time, so you could really get your moneys worth for the price per month. We usually come on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and some Saturdays. This place is kept clean and conveniently located around many different restaurants, with plenty of parking. They even offer "parents night out" events where they offer fun, activity filled, child care. Even though we have not yet partaken in this opportunity, it's nice having the option and I hear the spots fill up fast. Along with martial arts, in every class they teach a lesson of the day on how to be a better person and make good decisions: Which I also find admirable. I definitely recommend MAX academy. It brings my son so much joy to be in the class. They recently had "mommy's day on the mat," it was a fun bonding time for my son and I and I hope there are more to come! I look forward in watching my son grow and progress in this class!

Heard about this dojo for a while now,since the first time it opened in Clayton started at $20 for…read morethe trial ,now it is $50 for 2 classes. After trial my daughter likes it, particularly the vibes there,Master Baek and staffs are very friendly. So decided to sign her up, I pay $250 a month for twice a week classes( 4 options for 4 difference classes) They do not accept cash,if you decide to sign up, Only direct deposit. And expects to 3-4% inflation after a year usually February. I KNOW EXPENSIVE right, NO! the lifetime experience, discipline, the skills that Master taught our kid is more valuable than anything, well for the price that I pay better be good ^^....so try it out today....come and see in person,bring your kid,make them busy.

Alex really has expanded my levels of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. He has a great sense of humor and teaches many classes for martial artists. I am very thankful to for Alex always being there by my side throughout my life.

I would give Alex your time, and you won't regret it.

Now my son goes to Sensei Geoff and he's been with him since he turned 5 last year! He used to call it ninja school! He has learned so much and loves going to karate. Sensei Geoff has a lot of patience with my son, he's very talkative and asks tones of questions! (Sometimes his questions are nothing about karate) He has learned a lot. And even with the pandemic he continues with his karate. Speaking of the pandemic, Sensei Geoff goes above and beyond to keep the dojo and class sizes safe. He is constantly cleaning/sanitizing. He takes temps at the door. Everyone wears masks. And he cleans in between classes and does a big clean and sanitize at the end of the day. I feel safe having my son come to class. He also send updated emails constantly, keeps everyone informed with classes, events and just updating the community! This is a great place to bring your kids. They will love Sensei Geoff! He knows how to work with children well. Has the patience and most of all he pushes them to their full potential! We appreciate all you do Sensei Geoff!

He encourages focus and dedication to grow in karate, and sees the students for who they are and is able to meet each one individually as well as the group. He includes philosophy in his classes and has older students help to demonstrate more sophisticated katas and help the younger students as well. We are very satisfied with our karate experience, our son loves to go! I am amazed at how much he has learned in almost one year. We look forward to signing up our daughter when she is old enough :-)

It wasn't until coming across Coach Gabe, Coach Ant, Coach Rey and Coach Mya at Rooted Legacy that made me feel comfortable taking on a new skill later in life. Both have decades of experience and still keep their skills sharp by competing. The gym has only been open a year and in that time there have been growing pains but they continue to learn and make the training challenging, educational and fun.

Training with Professor Pedro is like getting a masterclass in the history and application of BJJ…read more I love hearing about his stories of training BJJ back in Brazil. He often shares great stories from the early days of BJJ that really put the journey into perspective. I've been learning from him since October 2025 and his classes are consistently top-notch. He provides a very well-rounded curriculum, covering everything from stand-up takedowns to finishing details for the cross collar choke. What I appreciate most is how he simplifies complex positions - he'll show you a transition or a sweep gives that 'aha' moment because it's so efficient not just on the sweep itself, but also on possible attacks within the sweep. He's a professional, approachable instructor who makes even the most uncomfortable (knee on belly, osoto gari, etc) techniques easy to understand and apply.
