I was a student here for 10 years,and I can tell you that Scott Francis and his assistant instructors are professional, highly skilled and caring. They actually care not only about teaching students punches and kicks, but about their whole success in life both in and out of the dojo. That is something that you just can't buy elsewhere. Not to mention the amount of training you can get for the money is worth significantly more than what the monthly fees are. There is always someone willing to offer additional help if you have difficulty or help mentor you through the martial arts. I struggle to express the value of this establishment. It's off the charts! I can not recommend Dojo Dynamics enough.

Grand Master Ma personally taught her group, which was kept to a smaller number so each of them received one-on-one as well as group attention. Grand Master Ma remained her instructor even as she got older and more skilled, After earning her black-belt, she was still under his wing but was given more responsibility and autonomy in leading the lower colors and black belts. His early instructions would at times include "life-lessons" before a class to help build the students' strength of character. With such a strong foundation from TMA, our daughter enjoyed academic and athletic success in school and went on to play collegiate volleyball. She graduated from college this year and Grand Master Ma still keeps tabs on her, as he surely must of all his students. His personal investment in his students' success goes beyond the walls of his Dojo. Grand Master Ma's life is truly dedicated to the teachings and principals of traditional Martial Arts. His students are the beneficiaries!

I'm 39 and have never been athletic in my entire life and was just over 300lbs back when I joined. I joined after my first class, even though they were more than generous in offering me more time to check the place out. I joined because it was immediately clear that the mantra-mission statement of "Train Hard, Be Kind" is fostered in and is alive in every single person at this gym and I wanted very much to be a part of it. Nowhere is this spirit more alive than in Aaron and Tam - the captains of this ship - and all the instructors across Pica Pau's deep and diverse weekly schedule. In the striking classes you will find no better coach than Ulysses and no better group of training partners. There is space for everyone of every skill level here. Everyone has the same expectation - train hard, be kind. BJJ is a challenge I am continuing to work at, but what has never been a challenge is feeling like I didn't belong. I've never seen a single person hesitate to help anyone who needs it. I have never seen, or even heard gossip of, the kinds of toxicity that multiple YouTube videos will tell you exists across the vast expanse of jiu jitsu gyms. The expectation and mission of "Train Hard, Be Kind" could not describe the culture better and it's infused in everything about Pica Pau. This place will rise to meet all the effort and drive you are willing to bring to it. It's an amazing ride being a part of Pica Pau. 5 out of 5 stars, no notes, would train at again.

Dhawan the owner at the downtown aurora dono, seems not too professional or motivated to welcome others in. My spouse had called about a month ago looking to start Karate, he is a amateur fighter, and just wanted to broadin his horizon in the art of fighting. My spouse was so optimistic to start Karate here, he had reached out via phone to be told to stop on in, and that we did. We wanted to right then and there make payment and set up when we would start coming into the dojo. Mr. Dhawan didn't seem so enthusiastic about having us start just yet and told us to wait two weeks when they come back from a tournament in Texas, which the date to start us in his dojo would be April 7th. We had called that day didn't receive a call back, my spouse then call today, again no answer. Since my spouse was excited to start our new journey drove in person to see the owner, there were a few parents waiting in the front room and session was at a end, there is NO SIGN that state DO NOT ENTER UNLESS etc..so my spouse walked in with payment in hand to see when we could start training..in response my partner was greeted with coldness anger and bitterness..in front of CHILDREN at that. no respect or honor. My man had to be the bigger person and walk away. He had $900 in hand for us to start there, looks like we will be going to Phantom kickboxing in Plainfield. Axel Arellano is a real multiple world champion professional fighter with honor and a code of discipline but he's also very soft and welcoming when it comes new people and hes the best in the area and we are happy to be there instead. Thank you for showing your true colors Dhawan.

The owners are almost celebrities in China, having trained at the Beijing Wushu School and coached there . They have directed and choreographed many martial arts films including "House of Flying Daggers." To understand what this school is, you must first understand what the eastern concept of a "Wushu or Kung Fu" school means. A traditional Chinese Wushu school integrates traditional Chinese Kung Fu combat with forms (Wushu) and Sanda. Sanda is a modern day Kung Fu striking combat system developed for the Chinese military. It is similar to Muay Thai but with a heavier emphasis on take downs. In a traditional school (which this very much is), you learn all three things (self defense, Sanda, and forms) at the same time. Most of all, its fun. You will go through seriously brutal work outs, improve flexibility, and learn martial arts. I can't recommend this school highly enough.
