The people there are family. I am excited for the opportunity when I can train with them again. Whether you have children that need direction and self esteem or you are an adult in need of a place that doesn't judge but encourages personal growth, I urge you to try out MKJA.

There are several closer, more convenient options for kids jiu-jitsu from our Golden Valley home,…read morebut we choose to attend MKJA for two reasons. First is the instructor David. He works incredibly hard to make MJKA a successful martial arts training center, communicates very well with and truly cares about the kids. We have also been impressed with Ben and Devante, his junior jiu jitsu instructors. Second, MKJA is one of only 3 Gracie Certified Training Centers in Minnesota where the Gracie Bullyproof program is taught, with the option of moving into the Gracie Combatives course as teenagers. Both the Bullyproof and Combatives courses have unique aspects to them, including prioritizing jiu jitsu as street self defense over jiu jitsu as a sport. We definitely recommend MKJA for anyone.

first was brought to this range in 2018 by the girl I was dating in order to bond with my brother…read morewho was visiting temporarily from the military, so cool that she brought her own guns and shot straighter than anyone else, not sure if she out gunned my brother or not but I was sweating bullets thinking that I probably looked stupid as shit not knowing how to accurately shoot or handle the guns they were using, but I recovered from that situation by bringing my own 12 gauge with a couple packages of slugs to let myself get use to the kickback the home-defense weapon I got for myself had, and I was stoked to find it easier for me to accurately put slugs into my selected target, an evil clown. Easier than it was back then for me to use my girlfriend's gun. Gun Ownership must be a factor, I'm sure the 1911 w/silencer I tested out with on my conceal to carry course this year would be much simpler to shoot with accuracy than my 12 gauge if I owned it, still seems like it would have to be the easier firearm to pick but I have to know what I'm doing and own the gun to feel super comfortable with it in my hands. Same as everyone else probably. This was from 30 yards away with a Mossberg, 12 gauge shotgun, but I went to the range alone as this return took place only a year ago, 6 years after I got broke up with by the straight shooter. I blame my bad ass brother for making me appear as wimpy as I was, but he is also to blame now that I am no wimp, for without him I never would have gave a shit about how well my shot was, I woulda just put bird spread in if the home defense weapon was summoned for duty, but now I can effectively rack buckshot as shown on the pogo the clown poster that I took home and strapped a strobe light strip on for a carnival effect to impress my brother and entertain my cat, as it is my cats bedroom.

The class was well organized and presented, satisfying all of my expectations. A great presentation is one where I don't have to ask any questions, and I asked none. Their professionalizm extended to checking and cross-checking each weapon prior to a demonstration to ensure the weapon was safe to handle. This was evident in both the classroom and on the firing range and set an appropriate example for the class. At the end of the day I felt prepared to carry and I am looking forward to continuing my weapon training with Invictus Defense.
