    These are actually photos and a story from their previous location. Which I had to share just to show how amazing they still are. Lightning kicks martial arts was having a try MMA day. I had no clue what that was, but I wanted in because I like trying new things. I gathered a few friends of mine and we set off to learn MMA. Which we learned later on was intense, submission filled, and full contact martial art. We loved every second of it, even if we were getting our butts handed to us. Our Instructor never gave up on us, we pushed forward, and practiced our moves all night. There wasn't a moment where we felt we didn't understand something, or the lesson was too fast. The instructor made sure to be thorough! We went home with a new found knowledge of MMA and we encourage others to give it a try. Even if that's not you're thing, they will have something for you!

    The best family martial arts school in kalamazoo!

    Verdict: Great school…read more Cons: - Things are continually changing. The school is growing, they're trying new things all the time, adding new things and dropping old things. You can be pretty positive that brazilian jiu-jitsu and crossfit aren't going anywhere, but the schedule might change. And other things like birthday parties, those might end. It's in flux month by month. - You can't spar with the blackbelt. She got a major injury a few years ago and now she can teach but not compete. (This isn't a very big problem, see below.) Pros: - The people are awesome. Humble and friendly. Even the buff dudes are just having fun and trying to help you - and everyone - improve. - There's jiu jitsu for every level: Little bitty kids learn the basic movements and play fun games. Big kids and teenagers get the full jiu-jitsu experience, but only with people their own size. There's intro jiu-jitsu for adults in the morning, regular jiu-jitsu classes in the evenings, "open mat" for sparring and troubleshooting, and even a "competition team" class for the really intense and serious training. - I said you can't spar with the blackbelt. Maybe that sounds like you're missing out on a challenge or something. Haha. Don't worry about that, even the intermediate players will hold you down and tap you out... without sweating, while they're having a conversation with somebody else. There's plenty, plenty of challenging training partners. Wait til you meet Strong Josh. It's like trying to fight a van. - There's a bunch of stuff besides jiu-jitsu! Crossfit is the other big one, with like 4 classtimes per day. But there's also karate, a tanning bed, a massage therapist who's awesome (if you've ever had a massage and wished the person were stronger, here's your chance. Jana works on almost nothing but athletes, and she'll loosen you up no matter who you are.) "Ninja camp" for little kids, some faith events, and other stuff too. And always trying something new. So overall, what a great place. Good place to get yourself in shape, good place to meet quality people, good place for your kids to make friends. Try it out.
