I was…read morenervous at first because my boys have never participated in Martial Arts; however, the instructors, owners and other parents were very welcoming. Not only are they teaching Martial Arts, but they also teach life skills which help keep the kids engaged and focused in class and outside in the real world.

I especially like that the kids need to earn their stripes in order to rank up and they do not get stripes just because it's "time" to get them. They instill discipline, focus and caring for one another in order to progress. I highly recommend this academy!

Sure, the place does not look fancy like other martial arts studio, but we're here to learn self-defense, not look pretty in a Gi. There are many senior black belts who are helpful and knowledgable. Best of all is Kyoshi Sid Rayford. He has a great sense of humor, which is complimented by his caring wife Renshi Amy. Their experiences includes teaching special needs, former teacher for Le Grand High School, teaching home-school students and much much more. You know it's the real deal when you spar with Kyoshi and try to kick him. Rather than advancing your moves, you ponder why does your shin hurt so much?! His bones are super calcified, a sign of a great master. Did I mention that you have the opportunity to learn weapons/kobudo: Tonfas, Jigen-Ryu style swordship, Sais and Bo Staff.
