The school is large and offers many opportunities between Koden Kan Karate, escrima, kickboxing, and grappling classes. The head instructor Scott Newman is an amazing martial artist and mentor. He has given me the best advice of my life which is "Only you have control over yourself." This taught me extreme ownership and allowing me to be successful both in college and the careers I've held throughout my life. I wish I could give them more than five stars!

This company was one recommended by my homeschooling program so I decided to enroll my son in the…read moretiny tots program. We are on our second month attending. Everyone is very kind and attentive to the children. Shihan and his children, who sometimes assist with training the tiny tots, are very patient and explain the concepts very well. The owner is an experienced professional, which shines through in his interactions with the students. The kids have a lot of fun. If this review were only for my son's experience, it would be a 5 star review. Hands down. The lack of one star is due to a Hitler quote they have on the wall. I am not Jewish, but I am of Mexican descent and do not feel welcome due to the choice and placement of the quote.

I was immediately impressed with how incredibly clean and well-maintained the facility is--it was clear to me that the owners and coaches take pride in providing a safe and professional training environment. After training there for 2 years now both personally and with my two daughters (7 and 10) I can attest to the fact that the instruction for both adults and kids is world-class. Jeremiah, Dave, Joel, and Julian are highly skilled black belts and have very different approaches to the art of Jiu Jitsu. Refuge has fantastic No Gi coaches as well and I can't say enough good things about Dan, Nick and Gabe. Every instructor at the academy brings a deep level of knowledge to every class, breaking down techniques in a way that's both accessible and effective for all experience levels. Whether you're brand new or more advanced, you'll feel challenged and supported. What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It has a genuine, welcoming, family feel where everyone encourages each other to improve. The coaches are patient, disciplined, and genuinely invested in each student's growth--not just as athletes, but as people. If you're looking for a place with elite instruction, a positive community, and a clean, professional environment, this is the place for you and your family.
