The instructors are all fantastic at giving the perfect combination of challenging training and encouragement and we love that they focus on character development off the mat along with technique and execution on the mat.

The facility is always immaculately clean and there's always a great friendly vibe from the kids and parents waiting as well. Our family couldn't be happier to have joined the Max Academy family!

I can't recommend 10th Planet Oakley enough! From the very first class, my boys fell in love with…read morethe environment, the community, and the sport itself. They begged me to sign them up that same day! Coach Tony has incredible knowledge, expertise, and patience when coaching the kids. He always emphasizes proper technique and helps them grow with confidence. What started as a class just for our boys turned into something for our whole family -- even my husband and I decided to join, with no intention of doing so at first! That's how amazing this place is. 10th Planet Oakley is more than just a jiu-jitsu gym -- it's a welcoming community that truly feels like family.

I highly recommend Cesar Gracie Academy for children ages 4-6. I have been taking my son here for a…read morelittle over a month and I'm just blown away by the progress he has made under the training of Mr. Gabriel Neves. Mr. Neves is an excellent teacher and trainer of Jiu Jitsu for children and I'm sure for adults as well. His command of the class is amazing. He has the right amount of fun but stern personality that instructs the class well but the kids also understand that there's a serious side to the sport. His approach to teaching children is top-notch and my son is really enjoying it. Lastly, value for the school is amazing. I can take my son to 4-classes a week, Monday Thru Thursday for one set price a month. For parents looking for best bang for your buck, this is it. To get started all you need is the Gi which you can come a few times in gym shorts and a tshirt to make sure your child likes the class first. Also you might want to get a rash guard for under the Gi. The guard is beneficial in many ways, plus it's great for Wednesdays class no-gi Jiu-Jitsu. So far a month and half in I'm blown away by Cesar Gracie Academy. Also, Ms. Tina is also very good at answering questions, walking your child through gi fittings and just being a great ambassador to the sport and school.

We absolutely love our daughter's Judo classes with Mr. Jason! He is incredibly patient, kind, and…read moredetailed in teaching traditional Judo techniques, making sure every student understands how to move effectively and safely. Each class begins with a short piece of biblical wisdom and he incorporates lesson on respect throughout the class, , often drawing from traditional Japanese customs. It's an excellent element of learning respect that the kids would otherwise only get from travelling to Japan. The classes are a perfect mix of fun and structure: kids start with play, then move into cardio, stretching, technique, and even get to test their skills in mini sparring sessions. Mr. Jason is truly an excellent teacher--engaging, encouraging, and full of knowledge and expertise in judo. Judo itself has been amazing for our daughter. It's helped her develop discipline, efficient movement, and real-world problem-solving skills. And as a close-contact, non-striking martial art, it gives her tools to manage conflict with control and confidence with no punches or kicks needed, which is what gets kids expelled from school. All this and the Scholars Academy is truly remarkable. It isn't just a martial arts dojo - it's an athletic community of good kids and amazing influential instructors. We love it! Highly recommend!
