When I walked in Professor Jake welcomed me and showed me where to find things. When I was stretching, I spoke to a few of the members and they were all friendly and was happy I stopped by. The class was great and I had great training partners during our rolls. I highly recommend this school for locals AND visitors. It is my hope that when I do return in the future, I can visit Professor and his team at True Believer Jiu Jitsu! THANK YOU!

First of all the classes are very in depth and detailed focused, but professor Casey and the other teachers do such a good job at breaking it down in easy steps.

The workouts can be very difficult, but manageable. Also professor Casey is really funny.

My son has been here for almost 4 years. We pay $105/month and can go to up to 3 classes a week so…read moreit's really a steal with that cost average of $9 a class if come 3x, $13 average for 2x a week. They have class as a group but do get one on one attention especially when noticed as needing more individualized help with new moves or new student. The belt promotion is based on when the staff feel they are ready to move up. New belts $60, uniforms are around $40 I believe (only need new uniforms when grow out). My son is 8 (almost 9) and is a blue belt. He goes to two classes a week 6-7pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. The staff are really great and know each kid by name, super helpful. The older kids/black belts help teach the younger. It is a family owned business here for years probably decades, they also have a North location run by the grandmaster's son. His grandsons are the primary instructors right now at this one. I got into it for the self discipline, self defense and elder respect it encourages. My son really likes it. It's year round. Masks used at all times right now. There are many poomsae (movements exercised as if there is an imaginary opponent) to learn and with each belt, one must demonstrate the number of these required to move up. They also spar at times and many exercise drills as a group. They do offer a free class to try out before joining. You can do taekwondo and judo, think the monthly rate for both is $150/mo.

Joining Win-Win Kung Fu has been one of the best life decisions I've made. I did Tang Soo Do for…read morenearly 8 years before going off to college and I have always participated in high intensity sports, so I figured I could keep up. Much to my surprise, I broke a sweat, felt every muscle ache, and found a renewed passion for martial arts. The teachers here come directly from China and are super highly skilled in Chinese martial arts, like straight out of a movie status. In my short year and a half with the school, I have learned Shaolin style, contemporary wushu, weapons, and now Baji. I also decided to learn tai chi which I also underestimated how much of an internal workout it is and challenging to say the least. I have felt more in shape now than any other post college time, and lost about 20 lbs. since joining. Wish I would've join sooner! The youth follow a belt system, the adults have it too and are encouraged to test but it is not mandatory like other martial arts practices. In this sense I feel it's a great way for children to develop the discipline, focus and physical ability while adults focus on self-improvement without the pressure of testing. We are busy adults but we invest the time we want to better our own abilities and I feel that is the Martial way. There are far more great things to say about this school and Master Bao than can be written in a yelp review. They offer a free trial class of wushu, tai chi, etc., so why not give it a shot.

From the moment you walk in, it's clear that the dojang prioritizes the development of not just skill, but character, discipline, and respect. What stands out most is the dedication of the instructors. They are exceptionally thorough and genuinely invested in every student's growth. Instructors teach practical self-defense rooted in traditional values. All instructors at The American Judo-Hapkido Institute have met the mandatory requirements to be certified instructors. Students encourage and support one another, and there's a real sense of community. Many of us met while training together at the dojang, and are now friends who hang out on the weekends. Overall, this is an outstanding place for to learn whether your goal is self-defense, personal growth, or simply being part of a respectful and empowering community.

When my gym of 4+ years closed I was oddly relieved like having ended a relationship that hit it's…read moreexpiration date. Yet just like ending a relationship even one that ran it's course, I was displaced and unsure what to do next. I, along with a slew of other ladies turned friends from our old gym began trying out some other places. In total I went to 5 other gyms before trying Fit4Life Boxing Club. I found some common problems in the other places. Lack of classes, lack of cleanliness,lack of class times, lack of variety, they all equaled lack of interest, but this "dating" period was kind of fun, dare I say exciting to try out so many different places. I and my gym crew prefer a place with structured programs. I do have a basic membership to a box gym and though I know how to work out, I prefer someone tell me what to do. It keeps me accountable and makes me feel like I really got the most out of my hour. So enter the boxing club, I was really unsure about this place at first. Me and two gym friends came here during a free week they were offering at the end of the summer. I had done no contact kickboxing classes, but that did not really prepare me for what was in store. By the time the class was over I was drenched and exhausted, but I wasn't sold. I don't know why. It was an excellent workout, it was fun, and went fast! But I think I was a little scared of commitment. After being "married" to a gym I wanted to leave well before it was over, I had cold feet. Luckily they were offering some good intro rates off the free week and me and my posse signed up for the month. It didn't take a month. Within about a week we all knew this was where we wanted to be. As it turned out not just a couple of us but basically everyone that went to my old gym joined here. I also invited other friends and co-workers to try it out and they loved it and joined as well. So to anyone looking for a challenging workout that's fun, stop in! Well not now because COVID-19, but hopefully soon. They have classes 7 days a week. Super early mornings, 5am classes are awesome, to 7 pm classes and in between. They have great instructors who know you. Out of classes of 30-50 people they still know your name. They are very helpful and encouraging the whole class. Each class is different so you never have to work through the same workout. The first class is always free and there are many different options for memberships from punch cards to 12 month membership plans. Nothing really helps get the aggression out than going 15 rounds with a heavy bag! Lastly they have great programs for kids and offer classes specific to people with Parkinson disease called Rock Steady. Fit4Life is a great gym that also gives back to the community. I am very happy I found this place.
