We have two kids at this academy in different age groups and they both love it!…read more This is the perfect spot for parents who want their kids to develop a can-do attitude. Professor Ronda avoids coddling in favor of teaching discipline and emotional maturity; our kids are learning to be strong, respectful, and resilient, all while having a blast and learning how to defend themselves. Professor Ronda weaves in fun during classes but given that this is a close-contact sport, she is also a firm, no-nonsense instructor to keep them safe and disciplined. We especially appreciate the heavy focus on cleanliness and sanitary practices, which is so important in a gym environment. The community and other families are welcoming and very supportive, and my kids genuinely look forward to going to classes each week. If you want a place that provides your children the space to grow and develop true grit, this is it.

I'm writing this to inform other parents about our experience at Odin's Halls BJJ…read more My seven year old son trained there for four months. When we signed the 12-month contract, I specifically asked what would happen if he lost interest. At his age, that's always a possibility. We were told by one of the coaches that early cancellation would result in a one- to two-month penalty. Based on that representation, we signed. After four months, we decided to withdraw him because we were not satisfied with the quality of his training. When I informed the school and the owner, Steve, that we intended to cancel, I was told we would have to pay half of the remaining contract balance. That was not clearly stated in the agreement as we understood it, nor was it what we were told at enrollment. When I raised this discrepancy, Steve stated the coach had been "misinformed" and "misspoke." After I remained firm on canceling, communication stopped. That raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability. The more troubling issue happened later at a NAGA tournament. After leaving Odin's Hall, there was a break in my son's training while we searched for a new academy. He then joined Cobrinha and registered for the novice, no-submission division (white belt, six months and under training). At the tournament, we were informed that a coach from Odin's Hall contacted the organization claiming my son should be bumped up to the beginner division (with submissions) because he had trained over six months at their gym and had prior wrestling experience. This was inaccurate. * He trained at Odin's Hall for four months. * We had email documentation confirming the cancellation timeline. * There was a gap in training before he joined his new academy. * The brief wrestling class he attended was actually a requirement at Odin's Hall for their competition team -- and all of their students participate in wrestling. What shocked me most was the attempt to move a seven-year-old into a submission division when they knew they had never taught him submissions. This tournament division was specifically six months and under, novice, no-submission for safety reasons. Moving him up would have exposed him to techniques he had not been trained to defend against. As a parent, that is extremely concerning. Youth martial arts programs should prioritize child safety and development above rivalry or competitive positioning.

This year was his first time in a traditional school setting, and unfortunately, he experienced some bullying. He's naturally very shy, doesn't have many friends his age, and lacks confidence. That's what led his dad and I to look into self-defense classes--not because we want him to fight, but because we want him to feel confident, strong, and capable of standing up for himself. Walking into the class, he was extremely nervous. He didn't know what to expect, and honestly, neither did we. At one point, I truly thought he was going to ask to leave because he felt so overwhelmed. But then one of the senseis noticed him struggling and came over. He spoke to him so kindly and patiently, reassuring him that he was safe, that this was just a trial class, and that he would help him learn step by step. That moment meant everything. He didn't just teach--he connected. He took the time to guide him, correct him gently, and make him feel comfortable. THANK YOU ! Sensei JERELL CEPHAS By the end of the class, I expected my son to say he never wanted to come back... but instead, he surprised me. He said, "Yes, I was really scared and nervous... but I liked it. I think I need this. I had fun." And to please enroll him into classes . That right there meant the world to me. All of the senseis were great, but the patience, care, and attention this sensei showed my son truly stood out. If you have a child who is shy, struggling with confidence, or just needs a positive environment to grow, I highly recommend this place. My son came home and tried to practice the moves he was told in class and wanted to learn more ! :)
