I went in for a trial class and fell in love. The instructors were helpful, and my class mates…read morefriendly. They treated me like family from the moment that I entered. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue past the trial class- the $129 a month price tag is a bit more than what I'm able to pay, I'm not sure why I expected it to be less than $75. Regardless, I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a supportive environment.

The instructors are fabulous, and our kids have come such a long way in gaining both confidence and grit, not to mention learning how to truly defend themselves. I love that only students who work hard get promoted, it's not automatic. One of my kids learned that lesson the hard way, and grew from it. The instructors do a fantastic job of balancing being supportive with enforcing clear expectations. It's also a great place for neurodiverse kids to thrive! I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

Our lessons are clearly applicable to real-life situations. Access to Gracie University online videos make it easy to go over the details in between classes. The women in this group range in age, size and experience, but everyone is supportive and encouraging - we have a lot of fun! I am grateful to share this experience with my teenage daughter - she enjoys it as much as I do and we both feel more capable of defending ourselves effectively should the need arise. Highly recommend!

It has been a positive experience for both and the homework for character stripe and leadership stars reinforces what is taught in class. For my now 9-year-old, the anti-bullying techniques are very helpful. Her pitching coach has even commented on how her focus has improved since last summer. I was so impressed that I also started classes and the adult team is just as welcoming as the kids' team. It had been a long time since I did any regular exercise, but they work with you at your level. Being on the mat with all skill levels really drives you to push yourself. My energy and cardio levels are really improved, I've lost weight and am eating better too. The instructors are awesome and truly encourage everyone to reach their full potential. I recommend this for both kids and adults.
