We were lucky enough to have been invited to a free class by a friend! Ignite exceeded our expectations in every way! We were warmly greeted by Ms. Medina over the phone and had a lengthy conversation about the enrollment process for our 5 year old. Our son had a great first meeting and assessment with her and he loved his first class. We felt the enrollment and payment process were really transparent. We couldn't wait to have our son enroll and benefit from the structure, respectful communication, physical challenges, and discipline that comes from Tae Kwon Do at Ignite. The classes and teachers are amazing! Ms. Medina, Mr. Comiskey and Mr. Fragoza are the most dedicated, focused, energetic, patient, and inspiring teachers to our son and the classes we have seen him in. They have high expectations for positive behavior, body control, respect, and hard work! During this pandemic, Ignite didn't miss a single beat when immediately transitioning to a very stable distance learning model and working hard to meet their student's needs. Our son has continued training in two classes a week with a bonus private lesson that is one-on-one! He is continually motivated by seeing Mr. Fragoza and Mr. Comiskey each week and it is a huge source of confidence for him, on top of being a physical outlet. Ignite has communicated clearly and effectively and they were always available to assist us when navigating the apps or websites to learn from. We hope more people discover how amazing Ignite is.

When Senior Master Segal announced a new program called "Senior Strong", devoted to adults over 60, we became members. The program stresses flexibility, balance, and mental acuity through martial arts. I can't stress enough how much this program has improved our mental and physical health. Senior Master has a talent for making the experience enjoyable and fun. He encourages the students to participate at their own pace. His very capable associate, 5th degree black belt Mr. Lansing, also adds his expertise to the program when needed. Don't let your age hold you back, it's never too late to start. Dave & Jody Sawyer

This is an excellent Taekwondo Martial Arts School for all ages! My daughter started here 6 years…read moreago and now is a second degree black belt at age 15. This school and it's instructors are dedicated to helping kids develop their self-confidence, discipline among many other life skills. They not only focus on teaching kids valuable physical skills, such as self-defense, but also focus on the total individual. They cover life skills such as perseverance, integrity, goal setting, among others. They also value education and reward kids for good report cards and improvement in school and at home. But, this is not only a martial arts school for kids - adults are also welcome and in fact, encouraged. Many of the adult students are parents of kids who started classes first. I myself am one of those - having gotten my black belt at age 52. And I'm a woman! It's a great workout and I am in the best shape of my life.The classes keep you engaged, you learn valuable skills and the people attending are fun to work out with. It's definitely not intimidating and everyone is welcome. There are a variety of class times available and they make it easy for working adults and kids with busy schedules to fit in their workouts. The instructors are patient, helpful and very friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in getting more fit, giving kids a positive outlet and for just having fun!

Ms. Renee Row has done an amazing job as the sole owner of this school at navigating the ever…read morechanging factors of the COVID-19 pandemic. She, along with her staff, have maintained an excellent cleaning regime and rolled out above and beyond safety protocols in line with CDC guidelines. All students sanitize their feet and hands, wear masks upon entry and for the duration of their training, stand 6 feet apart at all times, and have their own space to work on the mat. The students at this school are excited when they arrive and always leave with smiling faces and heads full of new knowledge. It is hard to adapt to new situations, including our current COVID climate, but the students and instructors at this school train for the unknown everyday. They are constantly bettering themselves and working to keep not only their bodies healthy but their minds sharp. In times like these, it is nice to be able to have a place to train that gives a sense of normalcy in a time that is anything but normal. Kudos to Ms. Row for being an amazing leader of JSK North Bay!
