I see this place gets a lot of positive reviews and maybe it's great for kids, but if you're an…read moreadult I want to post a bit of a warning. It may not be a deal breaker for you, but it was for me. The "private lesson" seemed more like an opportunity to collect marketing data from me. Only 5 minutes of the "lesson" included showing me some punches. The rest was chatting about my reasons for coming to them, my background etc. It seemed useful but then what happened next didn't make sense. I had said multiple times in the private meeting that I didn't want to hit actual people, at least not right away, because I was in it for fitness first and self-defense was an added bonus. My own understanding of most martial arts is that you have to spend a while learning sequences/katas/forms before you touch others anyway. The owner did not disclose that sparring might happen on the first day. If she had, I might not have tried it, which was possibly the motivation for her staying quiet, but I don't know. My very first adult class I was doing complex kicking, blocking, and punching combos with a man that was over 100 pounds heavier than me. He was a beginner, too, but it still felt really wrong. I looked up online if this is normal for MMA gyms to throw beginners into sparring right away and many of them said no, but if you do, then you at least need protective gear. We had no gear. It was part of the introductory offer, to see if you liked it first, to not require you to buy gear. What seems more logical to me is that you have beginners in a separate class to learn combinations and technique without a real opponent and then if they still like it, then you can let them buy gear and sign up for real where sparring occurs. But what appears even more common in most martial arts schools is that you advance through a belt or two first before you're allowed to spar at all. I would have felt much more confident had it been more step-wise. Furthermore, the cost was equivalent to a car payment for only two days aw week (I can workout at a gym 7 days a week for 1/4 the cost), the sales are rather pushy, and they say they are a "family." I consider it to be a red flag when any business refers to themselves as a "family" because that merely serves to guilt people into staying against their own judgement. You don't have to pay thousands of dollars to be part of a family, so it's a poor analogy. I tried to turn them down politely but they kept going with adding on an extra week to make sure I gave it a fair shot because all classes are different, but I already don't trust them because they didn't disclose that I'd be fighting people on day 1, something I explicitly said I was not ready for. After 45 minutes of chatting, you'd think that would have been clear.
