I was referred to check out Mizuchi by a dear friend of mine, who is also a student of the dojo. I can tell you whole-heartedly, that Bill and his dojo are top-notch. His teachings are in a small group setting, so you don't get lost in numbers. That setting also allows for a more personal focus on your strengths and weaknesses. Spotless and quiant setting, where he is always looking to improve and upgrade, to assure that Mizuchi is the premier dojo in WNY.

(This review is only for the Brazilian JiuJitsu program.) I haven't trained in a few years, but between BJJ and karate I've trained in martial arts for at least a decade. Have trained at a few different area schools and done seminars all over the state. Professor Eduardo Barboza is the real deal. Not only is he an accomplished competitor and IBJJF ranked athlete, he's also genuine, kind, encouraging, humble and professional. He's also very thorough. I love that there are multiple classes offered each day, and several different types: basics, beginner and all levels. It's a great variety, and they are adding additional classes in no gi next month (July 2021.) The facility is always super clean, students and staff are friendly. Rates are very comparable to other schools, no contracts. I'm excited to be training here and honored to be able to train with Professor Barboza.

PROS: The Women's Self Defense Class... WOW!!! What a fun & empowering experience!! The…read moreinstructors, Jen & Robyn, are so knowledgeable! At first I was really intimidated, bc I could only see mostly just men grappling on the floor, but once I went upstairs to the private space where we trained, I totally relaxed. It truly is a women only class, which is so important when you're just getting involved in self-defense for the first time. Now I wish I could take the class more than just 2x a week- I love it so much!! Every time I walk out, I feel like a total badass, ready to right the world's injustices, one hammerfist at a time!! THANK YOU, JEN & ROBYN!!! CONS: The only thing I would change is for the class to be at an earlier time. It SUCKS to work all day & only be home for an hour and a half (just long enough to get cozy with the cat), before having to leave again for another couple hours... As much as I love this class, it is seriously hard to drag myself back out of the house once I finally get home. Even a 6:30pm class would be better than 7:30pm! UGH!

My little boy is enrolled in Master Chong's "Little Tigers" program…read more The team here is incredibly patient. Corralling four-year-olds is no small task, yet they all do it remarkably well. Most class sessions have two instructors: one who is leading the class and one who is walking through the room providing 1x1 corrections for students as they need it. The center is a very busy place, but the staff always takes the time to say hello and they actually know the kids' names. Changing areas are neat and clean. There's a play room for small children, as well as a waiting area with a fish tank for amped up kids waiting to get into class. This has been a great program for our whole family. My husband and I have been learning right along with our son, learning his Korean phrases, practicing moves with him at home and reinforcing the "life lessons" provided by the instructors. Much has been said about "belt factories" or programs that move students up in class simply to keep them encouraged enough to attend. I honestly do not care about the financials that could "maybe" drive the operation's tactics and programs. My reason for enrolling my son had little to do with encouraging him to become some lean, mean, fighting machine. Rather, I saw this as a way to work on focus, coordination, balance and respect. Money well-spent, in my opinion.

I love this place and strongly recommend them to anyone looking to get into martial arts, exercise in a new way, or just wanting to learn self defense.
