He is very knowledgeable about the history of tkd and encourages everyone to push themselves and stretch (literally and figuratively) your abilities. Mr. Smith has been my coach for five years or so and I went from only being able to touch my shins to now stretching and being able to put my hands under my feet when I stretch. I had originally started tkd as a parent, simply watching. I loved the message Mr. Smith gave the kids about working hard and focusing mind, body and soul. This is what my child needed - a way to burn off excess energy, as well as focus. After attending several classes as a parent, I decided I needed to join as well. It turned out to be one of the best decisions ever! Mr. Smith provides a great workout, fantastic instruction and support as you grow through tae Kwon do. I encourage you to not only enroll your kids, but yourself, as well. I've always been a runner, but this helps with balance, flexibility and core strength, many of the things we "older" people are encouraged to work on as we age. During this pandemic when most gyms are closed and classes are cancelled, Mr. Smith has stepped outside of the box and has been doing videos online to help with forms, as well as online classes via zoom. I can't say enough about Mr. Smith and Confidence Club!

This academy is a 100% class act. Here was my experience…read more I traveled to Indianapolis to visit family for the week. Like many others, I don't like to have a zero activity week, even while on vacation. I also find that if I have no BJJ days, my first day back (after just a week) is absolutely miserably painful. I looked for BJJ locations near my family's home, and found Endurance BJJ just 10 or so minutes away. When I looked them up online, I saw something that I haven't seen before...a section addressing visitors labeled "Welcome Visitors". I contacted Endurance BJJ and received an immediate response from Candace. She was able to get me setup and answered several questions. There was no mat fee, and they were fine with me wearing my Gi from my home academy. She told me that Coach Clingerman would be expecting me. I arrived at the date and time I found convenient for the hectic family schedule we had (I only had time for one training date). Coach Clingerman knew I was coming and remembered where I was from. He showed me around the gym and a few rules they all followed. Once changed, I headed to the mat and started to meet some of Coach Clingerman's students. To say that Coach Clingerman and his students were gracious hosts is an understatement. I had a great time and got to drill and roll with some amazing people. Coach Clingerman is a fantastic instructor, and his academy would be my choice if I lived in the area. I would highly recommend Endurance BJJ for your home academy if you're local. If you're traveling and need a spot to get in a good BJJ session, you should call and stop by. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience.

Highly recommend for adults and kids.

Neither my husband nor I ever took karate, so we were not sure what to expect. Sensei Ken Piper quickly accommodated us and spent an hour with us describing the program and costs, and then provided a demo lesson to show our son what would be expected during a class. Our son loved it so much we signed him (and his older brother) up. Both have been attending for nearly a year now and are now orange belts. We appreciate that not only are they learning various forms of karate (basics, sparring, kata), but they are also learning self-discipline and respect. They have taken the lessons from the dojo to their classroom and home. Pricing is very affordable, especially for parents considering joining along with their children. Packages are available from 1 lesson a week to unlimited classes. Special add-on lessons (weapons and seminars) are also available. The schedule is very convenient with evening and Saturday classes. Beginners can move through their first few belts within their first year which is encouraging. The Senseis are very patient with all ages and abilities, and a typical class usually has a diverse group of 10-15 students ages 7 years old to 50. Safety and hygiene are also emphasized, especially mid-pandemic. The facility is good and there is plenty of space for classes and overflow seating for spectators. The studio recently remodeled their waiting area. The studio's goal is for every student to reach Black Belt within a few years, so we hope to stay that long!

My wife and I decided to let her do some trial classes nearby at Mr. Piper's Family Karate Academy. All of the instructors we met were very kind and respectful. It was instantly visible that all of the kids looked up to and respected the staff at this school! The classes were fun and my daughter always enjoyed attending. She never fussed about going to class. Not even once! Which speaks volumes for a 4 year old! They do a great job teaching respect, discipline, manners, being humble... etc. (the whole karate thing!) I started my own martial arts journey nearly 14 years ago at another karate school in my hometown of Mooresville, IN. Not to the fault of Mr. Piper or any of his instructors, I ultimately made the personal decision to resume classes (now with my daughter) at my hometown dojo. I would like to thank Mr. Piper for re-igniting the passion I once had for martial arts by enthralling my daughter into the karate lifestyle! I would definitely recommend Mr. Piper's Family Karate Academy to anyone who is interested in becoming a martial artist!

I'm still very new to this gym but am loving it so far. I signed up for the trial month which I…read morethink is $67 and includes gloves and wraps. A few things I appreciate about this specific gym: 1. Personal greetings from the trainers and receiving occasional texts checking in. Accountability is key and it really helps me when I feel like I have someone who helps hold me accountable to my goals. 2. The gym is small but never really feels crowded because of how fast each round goes by. The 3 minutes in each round with a small break in between helps the workouts feel super manageable. 3. The workouts change every day and I know that even though it's 30 minutes, I'm getting a GREAT workout. I've been feeling sore (in a good way) as my body adjusts to this. And because it's only 30 minutes it's very easy to work into your schedule. 4. You can go as many times as you want during their open hours which is stellar. 5. I've met Mindy and Sadie and they are both wonderful! Looking forward to my next workout!

You're able to get a great workout in 30 minutes, I'll typically get around 400 calories per round but have gotten up to the 600's depending on the day. The workouts change each day so you'll be able to get something different each day. 6 out of the 9 rounds will use bags and the others are a jump rope, core, and free weights. Kickboxing is a great workout overall and I can't emphasis enough the stress relief it'll provide! The workout will hit a little bit of everything with arms, legs, and core. There are no class times so you'll be able to come in whenever it's open. The hours vary but typically will be open early in the morning and later in the evening. I will say what gives this gym 5 stars is the 2 primary trainers there, Sadie and Savannah. Although they are younger l, it's clear they have a strong interest in the field and wanting to help you achieve your fitness goals. They quickly offer easier alternatives for injuries and more challenging progressions if you want to repeat the cycle a 2nd time. They also are very good with feedback on proper boxing techniques as well.

This review is for Mighty Mites. My son has been going for several months and it is a great class…read more The head of the dojo does the classes and seems to really enjoy teaching the children. He also brings a lot of additional aspects to the class (language, history, respect, etc) that I really liked and my son really listened to. For mighty mites they are super flexible which day you attend (classes are half an hour and offered everyday near the end of the workday - you get to attend 2 a week). The kids earn stamps towards belts and progress pretty quickly at this level (every 24 classes - 12 weeks). The only downside is the waiting room is pretty small and gets really crowded with waiting parents/siblings, so sometimes when it's standing room only I take the time to go run errands. Also as a side note the owners also have a tea line that they run, they gave me a sample of the Green Tea, and it was excellent.
