My 9-year-old son took private beginning lessons with Coach David this month. He had 6 private…read morelessons and loved it! The facility is beautifully designed and decorated with a cool mural. Toby's staff is very professional, great with children, cheerful and inspiring. They offer a first free class on Saturdays at 11AM. They started him with a pool noodle to understand the basic stance and moves. Toby has a kind way of requiring respectful behavior from the students. He moved on to using full Olympic weapon and protective gear by the 3rd lesson. He loved having chances to "stab his teacher" on the last day. It looked so fun but also extremely educational!

My son had his 10th birthday at Duke City Fencing today and had a great time. Neither he nor any…read moreof his friends had ever fenced and Toby, the owner, spent over two hours with them teaching them the basics of fencing. The end of the lesson the kids got to fence one another in full garb. Everyone had a blast. Duke City fencing set up tables for our food, supplied the silverware, plates and cups and cleaned up. A very nice facility and a lot of fun. My husband also participated and it was quite the workout he said. My son now wants to take fencing lessons. Highly recommend!

This group of talented people had an newbie orientation and Roller derby being something on my "must do" list, I gave it a shot. I knew very little about the sport and my skating skills are rusty at best but they are motivating and helpful. Once I was a part of the league I was invited to great fundraising events and practices they have at various locations. They pitch in with helping the community and are starting up a youth team. I am smitten by the roller derby world and you will too.

Beyond Dissappointed. Summer practice was ok- coaches seemed to enjoy teaching girjs some skills,…read morechargef a decent fee, but it wasn't all that. A ton of girls and no real games, only scrimmages against the same team..little play time, and not competitive. Gym with no seating, no scoreboard, and mixmatched uniforms. Got a notice of a "club team tryouts". Asked if this was diffetent that summer session, and it was made to sound professional....Let me count the ways I now consider this place a scam: 1. Must pay 35$ BEFORE parent meeting and tryouts..No Refunds. (Thats pay $35 FIRST, show up and get outrageous fee schedule...even if you aren't interested - NO Refunds). 2. Some girls already returning from previous season before trying out, already picked out..seems its NOT merit based. 3. Fee schedule from basic in town $1250 with 2 weekly practices- to $2200 for practices and 4 "national" tournaments against second rate organizations in CO and TX...Id consider that regional not national.. 4. Costs cover: coach fees, coaching expenses, coaching practices, 2 practices per week, uniform...NOT food, NOT travel, NOT lodging (although I'd wager that coaches food, travel, and lodging are part of their "expenses". 5. Payment plan or "fundraising" to help others afford participation (probably selected by the same organizers that couldn't answer simple questions like: How are you diffetent than other clubs in the area?")..(by the way if I pay $2200 Im not selling chocolates too lol)...oh yeah and membership fees of $55 on top of it all. 6. 6 tryout dates..30+ girls each time...$35 prepay..do the math...(here, Ill help..$6,500 JUST for tryout fees..and location hasn't been updated in over 5 years, is run by family, and only has seating for appox. 30 people..where is all that $$ going) 7. And then..8-10 girls per team..so 4 spots rotating out..not much play time...and not competative. These fees are ridiculous. If I were you, unless there are NO other options (btw there ARE other options) and you are desperate to have your child show up for something and have $$ to waste...skip the fee and save your time & $$. I recommend Charlies Sandbox (summer sessions really improved skills!)

Your first class is free, but after that prices seem pretty reasonable for a monthly plan ($40/month) or a punch card to go whenever you like for $60.

The environment is exceptionally family-friendly, inclusive, and encouraging for practitioners of all ages and background levels.

I've never met a more competent and yet relaxed and fun team - and head instructor Justin Hall is fantastic. I really can't recommend him highly enough. BJJ, or any martial art, can be intimidating to start. Something a lot of us want to do, or dream about, but we're hesitant, maybe afraid to go in - remembering Cobra Kai from our youth in the Karate Kid. Well it's not like that at all. They're warm, welcoming, and fun. Justin exudes a confidence only born of competence, you see it in people who are great at what they do, whatever it is. Justin is the consummate teacher - patient, yet exacting. He knows his stuff, and he's not in this just for minting belts and making money. He in fact will limit the size of his school ultimately - so I'd get in now. There is no better place in NM. There may be other great facilities, but I can guarantee you that you will be happy you went here.
