This facility is amazing! I'm still sort of new (I joined last November) but it has been great…read more They teach you techniques that are actually useful in a street fight situation and they make sure you really understand why you are doing one thing versus something else. The instructors are very friendly and helpful as well as the students of the academy. Even if you aren't looking for self defense, maybe you just want a way to stay active, I highly recommend stopping by.

My boys have been participating in the Gracie bully-proof program since last fall (2015)…read more Cameron(and Kane) are great with the kids. They seem to enjoy what they are doing. The kids are learning and having fun. The place is clean, parking is ample. The classes are small but large enough for all the kids to participate with a partner. What makes this program different from others is the kids are learning to protect themselves without hurting the bully unless they have to which keeps them from getting into trouble with the school. Freuently you'll see the bully and the child trying to defend themselves getting into trouble. That should not be the case here as the kids are learning to subdue and apply pressure (pain) as needed without causing unnecessary harm to the bully. The techniques work with any size. You will often see small kids paired up with.larger kids because size does not matter here. If you can subdue the bully and apply a little pressure on those sensitive spots you get get someone to leave you alone. I cannot speak on the adult classes , however I assume the apply the same the same techniques just more in depth. I have seen fake weapons so I believe he teaches them how to disarm someone if need be. It is also a little gentler on the body than other martial arts.

We started my youngest here over a year ago. She struggled with staying still and mild impulse…read morecontrol. Everyone was so helpful with her, even when she had days she didn't want to be there. Whenever they notice a kid is struggling to be there, they give them lots of positive reinforcement. All the parents are wonderful and clap and cheer for all the kids to celebrate everyone's success. The kids are constantly encouraged to cheer each other on. A few months after my youngest started, I signed my older child up. She struggled with sticking up for herself and being too scared to use her voice. They've helped her find her voice and confidence. I loved what I saw in my kids so much, I joined the adult class myself! I've been going for coming up on a year and cannot say enough good things about what it's done for me. I did not start out in shape at all, I work a desk job. I feel better in all aspects of my life. It's more than just exercise. I love everyone who works here and my fellow students. If even the smallest part of you is interested for you or your child, I HIGHLY recommend it. They let you try classes to see if it's a good fit, but I promise you'll fall in love with it.

She received a free week of martial arts and fell head over heals So much so her best friend also joined and adores the experience. I really appreciate the focus on respect, the ability of the instructors to relate to the children as well as the physical strength the students are obtaining. I give my full stamp of approval as well as my appreciation to the staff for their dedication to the enrichment of today's youth. Sharyn Harmeyer

By enhancing every aspect of their thinking and structured behavior, this will help them in forming a solid foundation for their future. It will further afford them the opportunity to be challenged to reach into their potential and enjoy the achievement of their personal goals.

Indeed the study of Karate helps develop the discipline to act on ones appetite for all forms of learning.
