It was intense, a lot of physical stuff. I'm in my 50's and ( I thought) in pretty good shape, but it was still a very good workout. I learned quite a few things about self defense tactics and security awareness in general. The large class was full of really great supportive women and the instructors and their assistants were incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Despite it being a large class there were a good number of instuctors so the student to instructor ratio was fine. If I had a question there was always someone right there to answer it. Highly recommended!

I am a member of Anytime Fitness in Southern NM and I was visiting my son the week of November 17…read more During my time in Rio Rancho, I went to 3 other gyms in the area. One day I was going to Costco nearby so I decided to go to this location. When I checked on Yelp, it didn't have any ratings. I drove there and the gym had large windows facing the street and the two sides of the parking lot. I couldn't see any people inside, or the lights on and the door had one of those realtor key lock box. My first impression was that it wasn't open yet or that they have closed. I drove around the property again and I finally saw a person inside, so I parked and went in. When I walked in there was a gentleman inside the office and I asked him for the WiFi password. He pointed to a sheet of paper and asked me to first read the gym's rules. I did and I told him that they were the same as my home base AF. I asked when did they open. He said that in February of this year. The place is small, but everything looks brand new, with the newest equipment of any AF that I have visited. I retired from the hospitality industry so I am very picky in sanitation and looks of places that I visit. The place is pristine! My only negative observation is that they have paper towels and a spray bottle without a label as a cleaner. I prefer gyms that have antibacterial gym wipes as some of the clubs have. Otherwise, the gym is excellent and I wish the owners great success.

My five year old son told me he wanted to be a Karate kid. This is the first place we tried out and…read morewas his favorite of all the places we tried. What I love about this place is the one on one help each child gets during the lesson. Master Jim really lights up while working with the kids. You can tell he loves teaching Taekwondo. They learn discipline and respect, counting and other words in Korean. The lessons also help with focus and concentration. Class here is the highlight of my little man's week. Every morning he asks if today is a Taekwondo day. I wasn't sure how he would do with three days a week, but he absolutely loves it. I am watching my little unsure shy guy come out of his shell. He memorized the rules of Taekwondo after his second day and is just so eager to keep or practicing and learning more.

Master Jim is patient, kind, yet, stern. He has high expectations for his students in (and out) of class and teaches without demoralizing. (The classes are taught with Korean immersion so students are learning skills with correct terms. I LOVE THIS!) The Dojang is clean and the atmosphere is intimate, friendly and structured. My son has been enrolled for 2 weeks and I have seen a positive and dramatic change in his character. Example: Last week the children had some fun skill building challenges. If he would have "lost a challenge" 2 months ago, he would have had a major meltdown. On Friday, he dropped and did 5 push-ups and then sat straight up to wait his turn for the next challenge.

Instead of just showing you a DVD and passing you along, they put you through drills and scenarios to get you to gain the instincts of a good security guard. At first, I have to admit that it felt like they were just trying to make you feel stupid and think you can't do anything right, but at the end of the day, you realize what they're really trying to do is make you understand just how important it is to analyze every situation you're in and be mindful that your actions have consequences. I would highly recommend 3D to anyone who wants to really learn how to do security the right way.

It is one of the best things I've done as a parent, making her come to class when she didn't want to. It has paid off. Whether next month or in 6 months my daughter will have a black belt. But more importantly, her journey has taught her consistenency and persistence pay off. And she's gained courage, confidence, self discipline, focus, a little tenacity, and the list goes on. And, learning to stick with it has paid off in other things in which she is involved. Her various coaches have noticed her body awareness, and self control, that she gets right back up and moves forward even after bad falls that make other kids want to stop and go home. And, she keeps pushing through until she reaches her goals. If that sounds like I am bragging on my kid, I'm not. This review's not about my kid. I'm bragging about what TKD has done for her, and about the impact of martial arts training, and Blackman's TKD in particular. I'd recommend Blackman's to anyone - child or adult. They are super good with kids. Plus, by the way, now that Covid is with us - The Blackman's have gone the extra mile making sure their facility is well ventilated, and squeaky clean. Their sanitizing procedure is ... probably overkill in my opinion. I'm thinking its beyond anything required. But, better to err to the side of caution, right? At Blackman's they do. I know I am thoroughly safe sitting there watching my kid train.
