    New School Aikido IS an excellent dojo however, and anyone who is even remotely thinking about self defense should enroll here.

The constant fed back helps with confidence building as new moves are learned. It's only been a month, but my grandson watches the videos and practices almost everyday. I can see his enthusiasm and confidence growing.

Black or brown folks will be ignored during classes. Sad, because the owners themselves are POC but they have very close ties to maga folks. They also promote people very easily. As long as you're paying, the 'master' doesn't care. Everyone gets a belt promotion. ***UPDATE*** Yelp seems to be hiding my review about this place. Let me add more info since it's so weird for my review to just disappear like that. I had a niece and nephew attend this place for a few years. At first things were great, then the owners got greedy and changed the timeframe of the classes as well as the quantity of classes you could take. They lost a lot of students because of this but those that were loyal stayed. My brother and sister in law contemplated on leaving since the classes were shorter and were only twice a week now instead of three times a week with an additional half hour. Oh, not to mention, THE PRICE STAYED THE SAME WITH THIS CHANGE. So not only were you paying MORE but got LESS. My nephew was on the spectrum and my niece was not. The difference in how they were treated was not what I was expecting. I came to a great amount of their lessons to watch but after seeing how the school was ran, couldn't bring myself to support this place. Obviously the decision to keep them there was not up to me but I couldn't stand it. Seeing the little black and brown kids get very obvious low standard treatment compared tho their Caucasian and Asian counterparts were incredibly sad. They are not at all prepared or even educated enough to handle children on the spectrum. The 'master' has lost his patience many times and tries to play it off but it's very obvious to those sitting and watching. Again, I would urge all black and brown parents to take their kids elsewhere.

    It's really very cool to see how quickly your child will transform in this program. My son started…read morein the Little Dragon's program a few months ago and while we knew he was going to be interested in taekwondo, we had no idea how obsessed he'd become instantly! As a child on the spectrum, we have seen huge improvements in his joint attention, discipline, turn taking, and learning routines. There are kids in his class who have been attending longer and are great role models during class. I love that Master Garmany sets clear rules for how to behave in class. He has had my son sit out when he's misbehaving and it's been really good for him to have a direct consequence. He really doesn't want to have to sit out and understands that there is a certain way he needs to behave to participate. Stamps during class for good behavior and stickers at the end are the biggest deal to my son, it's really adorable. Master Garmany really has thought about everything when putting this business together. I love that the Little Dragon's class is so child friendly. Watching little films before class starts, listening to CoComelon during musical chairs, imaginative play during warm up and stretch time. It's really sweet. Now, here's where it gets even more exciting. There is a room full of toys and imaginative play that the little ones can go in, or their siblings. Great amount of seating area to watch your kids. There's an epic arcade for kids and parents to come nerd out in. And there is an awesome workout area for parents to use anytime. All of this is included in your child's membership! I also love that Master Garmany coordinates lots of events that the kids can attend, participate, or help out in. Star Wars movie nights, rock concerts, taco trucks, um yes please! Thank you Master Garmany for how much thought you've put into creating such a welcoming beautiful place.

    My son goes 2 days a week he loves it. He has gotten alot better at the classes and enjoys going…read more The instructors are great and involved with the students i would definitely recommend recommend this place

She train next door at the Factroy so we always see the Jiu-Jitsu building, decided to give it a try and as a parent, I like that their patient ... their structured... and educated in their craft. My daughter is someone that likes her personal space so an adjustment for her is allowing someone up and close and personal lol but she's adjusting just fine, the owner is very nice as well kids extra curricular activities are expensive... what I like about this facility is their not tryna take your money they want to make sure this is something your child wants to do... and even when they get started they check in with you asking you how does your child liking the class. Thank you guys

Some places just throw you in there and mash you and you don't learn anything. Andre and his team are motivating, break things down position by position and teach Brazilian jiu jitsu in a fun motivating way that makes you want to come back to class despite the soreness, bruises etc. they truly know how to build you up foundation first as it should be. And if fitness is your goal? Lol. YOU WILL drop weight fast. Full gi and no A/C. YOu learn it becomes Brazil in there fast
