I highly recommend this place to anyone that's looking for a jujutsu class or to even compete.

The Regional Center coordinator agreed and would be funding this. When we came to Dawn Barnes for our free trial class, he hid under my chair the entire time, but didn't want to leave, so we stayed and watched all the kids have so much fun! Days after this, he couldn't stop saying how much he can't wait for karate again... so I signed up for another trial class since the first time was a bust. Happy they allowed us to do so. So we came back... anxiety-ridden, we walked in, not knowing what he would do but he was soooo excited and the instructors were so enjoyable and had such an upbeat vibe, we were ecstatic! They showed patience and kept up with his energy. You can tell all the kids in class fed off of the instructor's energy as well. Upon completion of the class, they provided a white belt and my son said he couldn't wait to go back! We loved his excitement for this specific dojo and the energy the instructors provided. So all this to say, we were so disheartened to find out that they don't accept third party payments. Even to have a credit card on file from the Regional Center, who would be paying for the classes, so I'm taking a star down for that. And another star because it pained me to tell my son that we couldn't go back cause it isn't in our budget to pay out of pocket right now, since it would take 9-12 months to be reimbursed by the Regional Center if we wanted to go that route. Dawn Barnes - can we keep a credit card on file with you so you can just charge it each month? My son would be ever-so-grateful!

Classes have a healthy number of kids in them, mixed ages and belts-- although there are separate classes for basic belts vs advanced belts. I really like how Mr. Yoo teaches the class, involving the entire group. Lower belts learn from watching higher belts, and sometimes the kids at higher belts tutor lower belts on movements. He "gamifies" different sections of the class, which keeps things motivating and entertaining. But also, Mr. Yoo keeps high standards on expectations for the kids without being brutal about it. In my own child, I feel that he's growing an appreciation for earning his accomplishments and the hard work that goes behind it. I've also seen him push himself past his own comfort zone and achieve some really amazing feats. The room has a great community feel to it that is positive, even when things get a little competitive. Overall, I couldn't wish for a more perfect experience for our son (and believe me, we shopped around looking at several studios before landing on this one).

When he first started, he was very shy and reserved, but under Master Manuk, Mr. David and Miss. Evelyn's guidance he has truly blossomed. He's become more confident, outgoing, and carries himself with pride. What I really appreciate is that the program goes beyond teaching martial arts. It instills discipline, respect, and focus. Master Manuk has a wonderful way of encouraging the kids while also challenging them to grow. My son has learned not just skills on the mat, but life lessons that are already showing in how he interacts at home.

Master Lee has spoken to my children about responsibility, respect, the challenges of being teased at school, how to speak up - the list goes on. Master Lee and the other teachers here seem to know exactly what your children (or adult) needs and when to nurture and when to challenge those needs. Plus, it's really, really fun here.

They just tested for their yellow belts yesterday, and they were so excited. They practiced their forms, kicks, punches and their breathing until they nailed it. I was looking for a few things in a martial arts program: I want them to understand respect for one another and their teachers, discipline, conditioning, goal setting, the importance of effort, and taking care of their bodies. I also want both of them to be able to defend themselves if needed. I truly believe all of this comes with the program at Panther. Keep in mind that the program is an investment, both money and time, but I believe it's an investment that'll form character and last a lifetime.
