I have already left a google review, but I wanted to make one extra review, because I know…read morefirst-hand how other parents can relate and struggle with the same. My son has autism, and has been diagnosed as having a comorbid diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. Recently, his anxiety spun out of control, and we found out that he was receiving medication that was counteracting what it was supposed to do and causing his increase in anxiety. He is 11-years-old, and it was gut-wrenching to watch as a mother, and extremely disappointing when his anxiety held him back from completing the requirements to test for his next belt. After his doctor's appointment one day we stopped by the grand rapids location and was able to talk with Sensi Sasa. Sasa sat down with me and listened to the struggles I was having with my son and took interest in what the medical plan was for my son as well as the psychological plan. Sensi Sasa cared, and for a mother with a child with special needs, that was something I so desperately needed...especially at that time! Sensi Sasa cared and reassured me that my son would still be able to test and would be able to make up any activities that were required for testing for his next belt. Sensi Sasa said, "This is what I want for this organization...not to just teach our students kicks and punches, but to help them gain confidence and strength both physically and emotionally." Sasa asked what to look for in my son when he's becoming overly anxious and reassured me he understood and was there to help. I've felt like I've been screaming on the inside for years to get doctors and teachers to just listen to me. I truly wish there were more teachers like Sensi Sasa out there, because the care he gave by just listening to me and empathizing with me while also encouraging my children is a gift that is beyond priceless. If you have any apprehension and/or doubt in enrolling your child, take it from me...it's beyond worth every cent, time, and energy. The encouragement and self-confidence your child will get in return will be miles more than what they will receive at their daily brick-and-mortar school sessions. (P.S. I'm not in CA..not sure why yelp places my location in CA.)

Everyone is rad and chill. All the coaches are top notch and give personal tips and instruction on a regular basis. They take the extra time to help my progress. The brand new gym is huge and has everything a person could possibly want/need. The culture is definitely a bit more on the aggressive and end, but this IS a combat sport/martial art. The owner is tough, but he pushes me to be better. He doesn't tell me what I want to hear, but he speaks what needs to be said. He is honest with me regarding where I am and where I need to go in my training. If you are willing to learn, grow, and be stretched...this is the place for you! The first class is free.
