I signed my son up at WCWMA when he was 11 years old, looking for a "physical outlet" for him. Not only did he transform physically, but this class did wonders for his self esteem and work ethic. Kjn Rob not only teaches the fundamentals of martial arts, but encourages his students to reach beyond their perceived limitations and set and achieve goals for themselves. Through years of training, my son reached his goal of earning his Black Belt and is now training for his 2nd Degree Belt. When people ask how I survived the adolescent years - I tell them martial arts! It was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made in regards to my son. It gave him focus, determination and a strong sense of self.

I enrolled my two boys (4 &7) into the Academy after being referred to them by a neighbor. 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. My two boys have been going the life skills class, MMA, Kickboxing and BJJ since October and it is rewarding seeing them progress with the help of their instructors. 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!

Thankful for Taylor who helped me change my membership. I've been a member since 2014 and have it…read morethrough my work. I had issues with the Prescott Club, specifically their GM who was not professional at all. I had been waiting 2 weeks for a follow up regarding my membership- I needed to add people and apparently my membership type is no longer offered, and I was supposed to get it grand fathered in. It didn't happen so the GM was going to reach out to corporate and find out if they can still honor it. After 2 weeks, didn't hear back after numerous phone calls and voicemails. I called again yesterday and an associate answered. She then said he was "going into a meeting" and he told her to tell me the answer was no. Very Unprofessional and lacking customer service. He, being the GM, should have given me a call back at the very least when he was finished with the meeting for an explanation. Anyhow, very frustrated- I went to Monte Vista today. Taylor looked into my account and did not see any notes since 4/22. This told me that the GM from Prescott did not even reach out to corporate. There was no current notes about my issue. Taylor went above and beyond and provided even better info and rates than my current plan. Now that is excellent customer service. I am appalled at the treatment I received by Prescott's GM- I believe his name is Koby or Colby. ( not sure spelling) I will definitely copy and paste this on their Yelp. Thanks so much, Taylor for treating me well!
