This is a great karate school. They have two classes at this location: one for kids and a second…read morefor teens and adults. The school has a number of black belts who serve as instructors. They work very well together to provide a unified approach to training. In other words, you will receive consistent instruction on techniques and katas. Sparring is part of the class. If you are not used to sparring (fighting with pads,) don't worry. The idea is to help your partner train, not deliver a beat down. The organization is faith based: Protestant Christian as you probably guessed from the title. However, no one is turned away and everyone is made to feel welcome. Pricing is very affordable. You will need to buy a uniform, but there is some flexibility there plus used equipment is sometimes available as well. They work well with small kids and older adults. So, no one should be intimidated.

We experienced toxic environment and intimidation tactics by the owner/instructor. Most children in…read morethis school will never be good enough. Heavy favoritism. Adult clicks, although most of his loyal customers left him already. My son was bullied for his weight, told he wasn't fast enough. Regis (owner) tried taking credit for my child's hard earned belt and humiliated both him and I. Classes were too repetitive. Attention only given to favorites. I had to get my son out of there. Owner tried to intimidate me numerous times in various ways and any of my concerns were always dismissed. Yes there were positive times in the beginning but have become heavily overshadowed with all the negativity. It became so stressful my son never wanted to go to class anymore. Yes the owner was nice enough to help with tuition when times were rough in the very beginning and I repaid EVERY PENNY but he's trying to hold it over me. Yes my son idolized him for some time but he also thought it was normal to leave classes crying often because Master Regis was just trying to "toughen him up". Sure he provides private lessons, amount you pay for them depends on who you are. There were many long time families that left who were part of his "click" at one point but came to realize what this place is really about. I just happen to one of the very few that has the guts to post a negative review. The longer you stay the more you see and realize exactly what goes on. No, my son never wanted to be on a team. He was not cut, he didn't have to make a cut, he earned every belt he was awarded. Yet after we left this place other parents began to bash my son, a CHILD, who does that?! And Regis was aware of it and encouraged it. So much for a great role model. FYI Regis disabled the ability to post and see reviews on Facebook and he removed his business on google because there were so many negative reviews. If all that wasn't enough, employee was arrested for sex crimes against children and parents were not notified. I'll say again, HE DIDN'T NOTIFY THE PARENTS their children were around such person. There you have it. Make informed decision before you join.

This place has been my home for several years now, and I have no idea what other commenters are…read moretalking about frankly. This is not a glorified gym- it is a martial arts academy, where we are taught practical and artful skills. Not how to play dodgeball, or do pushups- how to do martial arts. Master Regis makes sure to teach everyone and work with everyone. I haven't been able to attend classes like I used to, but it's still a familial atmosphere. After rolling we compliment each other, and if someone might be hurt, we immediately ask them if they are okay. This kind of sportsmanship isn't common in all martial art schools (at least that I've been to). Master Regis is great at being the best of both worlds when it comes to an instructor: he emphasizes discipline, but not at the expense of compassion. Rather than motivating us by fear or threat of pushups and running laps, he rewards us when we do well and pushes us to do better next time. I'm not the most athletic person around. I've gotten rusty from being away this semester as well. And even though I'm not perfect or a "golden child" (as other comments seem to be noting that he picks favorites), he still takes his time to talk to me and help me out. He treats all of us the same. I cannot speak for other's and their experiences, but I can certainly attest to my own as someone who has been here for a while. It's not often that you come upon a school like this. Master Regis is not after my money, nor your's. It doesn't make a difference to him if I show up several times a week or not, because if I'm enrolled as a student I still pay the same either way. Yet he encourages me to come in more often and train because he wants to see me develop my skills.

Her first few classes she was extremely shy and I have to say the instructors are so amazing at coaxing even the most hesitant little ones onto the mat. Our daughter has been attending for about a year now and has aged out of the little kid's class to the regular class. We've seen so much growth and increased confidence in her. The instructors are excellent about pushing the kids to do their best while making class fun. They are also very intuitive and know just how to boost confidence for students having a bad day. I am so happy we discovered Reflex for our daughter and I can't wait until our son is old enough to start taking classes there.

Sensi Robaldo is positive, providing corrective feedback and challenging his students to better their practice. Clearly, a lot of energy and thought has been put forth to create the space that is the dojo. It is well maintained, has up to date equipment and even has some artistic features reminiscent of Japanese architecture. Doing business with has always been straightforward and professional. Most importantly, the people and spirit of the dojo make coming to train an enjoyable experience. Everyone is there to better themselves and their TaeKwonDo practice and is supportive of one another. And the instructors definitely foster this attitude. Highly Recommend!!

We were in town and stopped by to see one of our grandson's classes here. We had heard how much…read morehe's been enjoying them. There's a nice, small area with chairs on the other side of a windowed wall where parents and friends can sit and observe. The children's class we saw was about an hour long. They also offer teen and adult classes, too. We saw a classmate achieve another belt level -- and what he went through. It gave us an idea of what our grandson had to do to achieve his various colored belts and stripes. It was so nice to see the discipline of everyone; the respect given to the teachers. And the range of ages in the class. As others have said, these classes are not only for discipline and strength training, but also for building confidence. The professionalism and caring of the staff is so very apparent.

The students are well disciplined and respectful to the facility and each other. This evening's exercises were abbreviated due to one student's graduation session and moving up one belt.
