We were in town to see the kids and I signed up for the Kickboxing class at MARS. What a lot of fun! Sifu Christina really knows how to inspire and get your best effort, working hand combinations with footwork and technique. Really amazing just working a sweat and focusing on the bag makes everything else disappear and it's just you being with you. If I lived in GJ this would be my first home. Thanks Sifu Jasmine for letting me play. read more

What my son loves about MARS: Sparing with (noodle) weapons Sparing with instructors Lots of kicks and punches Fun games A new tape on his belt everything he comes The instructors get that all kids want to be "badass ninjas" Yelling things like "Black belt" What I love: They keep it fun while commanding and giving respect. They make leveling up attainable. Everything is immediately applicable They teach safety, anti-bullying, non-aggression, and respect Parents nights out I have watched my son grow in both physical and mental strength since he has been coming.

I recommend this place to anyone that wants to learn self defense, self discipline and respect. read more

I have worked with the M.A.R.S. Team for many years now and I have to say that they run one of the best Martial Arts schools in the nation. They are diligent at ensuring that they provide the highest quality service possible. They are also very focused on ongoing instructor development. I highly recommend this school to anyone in the Grand Junction area!!! read more

I can't say I have ever been to a place that is more backwards with their financial and business aspect. For being as expensive as they are you would think you would be getting great service. Between payments being withdrawn multiple times in days, to staff members stating different fees to cancel. Doesn't seem that anyone is on the same page as far as management goes. It is almost impossible to get someone to pick up the phone during business hours and you can't leave a message because the voicemail box is always full. The only reason I gave it two stars is because my child did enjoy the classes but soon lost interest. Wouldn't recommend unless you are set for the long haul. read more
