I personally have never been into martial arts. I've always heard positive things from parents that…read morehave their kids in taekwondo. I had checked out Robinsons in Lodi before, but I wasn't a huge fan. However, Cutting Edge has been something totally different. I really see the passion these instructors have for what they teach. I like that they're attentive to the kids, teach them to be disciplined, and teach them other important values. They don't play with nonsense, but will be patient with kids that aren't listening and talk to them in a caring but firm manner. I love the way they put on belt testing for the kids. It was such a cool thing to see. My kids love it and I love seeing my kids learning something that they enjoy with instructors that have a true passion for what they teach.

Stan…read moreowns the place since he's a retired corrections officer, has a very real-world approach to martial arts. He teaches my "cane-fu" class, which is more like practical self-defense for older people (who might happen to have a cane handy.) He and his son and another sensei teach my daughter's kenpo class, where they do learn kata and forms, but they always make sure you know what the moves are a response to. In fact, that's Stan's first question almost every time: "why are you doing this?" Hard to believe this quality of martial arts instruction exists in small-town Galt.

I used to train with stan back in high school, he's a great self defense instructor and his classes…read morecan also be a fantastic workout for those wanting to get in shape. I haven't been to his dojo in downtown Galt, but he used to have classes in his backyard(or garage on rainy days) which was quite the experience. I remember one day, trying to do a form while he distracted our eyes with a water hose...haha. He didn't do that often but he was always trying to find new ways to mix things up for us. I really appreciated how different it was compared to the usual karate place, where you can see yourself doing forms in the mirrored walls, he emphasized body control- knowing where your foot is(without looking) so that you don't screw up the technique for example. I don't know how his classes are currently, but I think he provided great real world tactical self defense back then and have no doubts that he's still a great teacher. I wish I had stuck with it longer than I did.

KICKBOXING REVIEW UPDATE…read more Classes are officially every day except Sunday. They opened up a separate building just for kickboxing and Krav. It's still 45 minutes of non stop exercises to make me sweat out stress and water. The new location feels a lot more spacious but more and more people are joining the class causing some people to share bags. The instructors are awesome and motivating!!!! Every class is different so it doesn't feel boring each time. I can still have that beer because I know I'll work it out in kickboxing.
