The first class was free and was an assessment to gauge if he would fit well in a class setting. Fortunately, he was able to follow instructions and we've been going since! He absolutely loves it there! All of the coaches are awesome and will really take the time to teach the littles correct form. It's really a friendly family environment, Coach Cliff and Miss Deb are always so welcoming and their daughter "Sissy" is my son's fav! Fun fact: They call my kiddo "Dinosaur" because when he first started he was so shy and didn't know how to make friends so he'd roar at everyone lol it just basically stuck! Overall I'd definitely recommend SOGMA for anyone wanting to get their kiddos into martial arts, I'm sure they'd love it as well!

The class started with a warm up which is very good at reducing injuries. The movements and strikes were explained in detail and then demonstrated. Students were carefully observed and given feedback on how they were performing. Praise if doing well and helpful critique if they needed improvement. There was an positive atmosphere in the class and everyone worked together as a team. I immediately signed up after observing the class. They do not lock you into a long term contract. You can go month to month if you'd like. That was refreshing. Their rates are very reasonable for the quality of instruction you are receiving. I went to my first class the next day and received excellent instruction on striking and defense. It was a very good workout as well as teaching self defense and the art of Muay Thai. I will be a student here for a long time. F.Y.I. - they also offer a cardio kickboxing class that'll get you in shape quickly. Give them a try, I highly recommend it.

First Full disclosure : We have never used or personally attended any classes whatsoever! This…read morereview is purely based on in depth phone conversation only that we feel everyone should be made aware of before joining! We were looking for self defense classes because our son was being bullied at Traina Elementary so we thought to build our son's self confidence , mind, body and spirit as well if needed defend himself so we where attracted to American Top/Traditional Martial Arts called several and all answered phone except this one so left message and about 2 days later received call back and this is my understanding of that phone conversation . 1. 49.00 Special advertised: is 49.00 for 2 days a week for 2 weeks. Its a trail offer to see if you like the class or not from others I've called offer trials are for free But this one charges! I don't have any issue with this so I give it 3 stars as its just ok. 2. If you like the class and wish to proceed they charge 1 time $89.00 Enrollment fee Why ? and what's it used for is beyond me ? Most to my knowledge don't charge any Enrollment fee and since it goes to nothing and no uniform I see that as money in the facilities pockets so I give them 1 star in times with COVID AND JOB LOSSES I see this as a major negative impact on the consumer! 3. THIS ONE WAS THE MAJOR DECIDING FACTOR THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF: They will make you sign a 12 month revolving contract with a 3rd party vendor from what I have heard has poor reviews with BBB that American Top Team/Traditional Martial Arts Studio has no control over and I as well as others need to be cautious of and read the contract very carefully! I did not read this contract because I have never been to the facility but, I did ask lots of questions and offered to pay 12 months in cash in advanced but apparently that wasn't an option! Why ? Use you imagination. If I was to guess I would say someone is making money from you or I by signing those contract because this 3rd party are not processing payments for free and martial arts studio has to be making money as well for their time in explaining and having you sign those contract ! something is not right and everyone needs to be aware of that . On a personal note : I don't understand why the Studio Are unable or unwilling to process there own recurring payments because I deal with small and some large companies all the time and some have lots of customers and every one of them process their own recurring payments as its done all the time without the need for any contract to make the customer feel comfortable instead of trapped into some contract . there just has to be an easier way: so for this I give (- 1 star) Very Disappointing phone call !
