Sensei Murdock has been training my step-son for the past 5+ years. Over this period of time there…read morehas been a significant change in my step-son's attitude towards responsibility and maintaining his focus to achieve goals. As someone that has personally trained under three different martial arts masters, I'm very selective of schools that I personally train at and/or support. No dojo is perfect, but as the Inheritor of Manabi-Masho Jujitsu (a very high honor), Sensei Murdock is truly the epitome of a leader. He is a leader that wishes to empart and share his knowledge of the art to his students! When you make a commitment to show up to learn and a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone, you will walk away changed and a better person. Though I personally don't train here, my wife and I fully support how Sensei trains the students at the Southern School of Martial Arts. If you are looking for a reputable dojo with a sensei to teach you or a loved one, you should definitely consider training under Sensei Murdock!

I waited to write this review from the time I gave the initial review. I cannot express to you how…read morepleased I am with Grand Master Murdock. He is more knowledgable than I would have every thought. He is more patient than almost anyone I've ever known. He works with my wife and adult children, but he also works with my teenagers. He's a great teacher. Our family has been working with him for close to two years and in case you haven't figured it out, he will teach our family for as long as we are in the area.

There is Krav Maga for all different levels so finding a suitable class as you advance is easy. Also offered are fitness class designed for all.

The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and will not hesitate to answer your questions. The facility is well kept and clean. I started at KMR for fitness goals and to lose weight and it has definitely helped me get cardio in either through the regular Krav Maga training classes, the fitness classes, or specialty skills seminars. This is definitely a great place to get a good workout in and to learn a life-saving skill at the same time.

Normally I train about 1 to 1.5 hours a everyday but this 2 hour no gi class was one hell of a workout for me. We started with some conditioning to get warmed up (way better than running around in a circle to warm up) then went into the tech of the day. After that we had rounds. And rounds. and more rounds. Man I was exhausted when I left. They train and fight hard. All of his students are friendly and eager to learn and grow. Scott is a legit black belt and WRECKED me for two whole rounds. Worth It. If you are looking to get in shape, stay in shape, or learn how to be a monster on the mat this is the gym for you. I can not recommend this place enough. The vibe is so chill yet everyone is there to get down. Great for beginners all the way through to experienced grapplers. Come test yourself mentally and physically and Wilson premier jiu jitsu gym!

I also really like in between classes, my daughter will get a post card in the mail to say how well she did in class the previous week and to keep up the good work. That makes her feel Great!!

Way too crowded and expensive for what you get out of it for kids. Just my opinion. The staff is…read morevery engaging, but for the price it doesn't seem worth it for your kid to learn actual self defense. Very fast paced and not a lot of one on one. I decided to put my kids in jiu jitsu instead and it's been very rewarding with one on one and learning actual self defense. My kids agree as well. But, to each their own. Depends on what your goals are I reckon.

I began attending JBC's while I was in middle school, and I was able to get in shape, learn to defend myself, and gain a lot of self-confidence. My young nephew currently attends JBC's and is loving it. It's a place for people of all ages, as many of the students come from various different walks of life. Sensei Creech is also a great instructor. He's very patient and cares a lot about his students. He incorporates different aspects from various schools of karate, all of which are both challenging and practical. He also offers classes open to all belt levels, so each student is able to mix with other students who are both more and less advanced than they are, allowing them to further their karate studies. Definitely 5 star worthy!

Master Y Kim is an amazing instructor, capturing and keeping the kids attention with fun exercises and learning experiences. He knows every kid by name, seems to genuinely care about their progress and is great at recognizing where kids need extra help. Ms Petra is always there with a smile on her face to greet children and parents alike, and to make sure the kids have the best time. No matter how busy she is, she always makes time to ask how you are doing. The program at Master Chang's blends taekwondo instruction with character building skills and experiences. The staff and class helpers foster an atmosphere of positivity, support, and respect amongst the kids in a fun and engaging way. My child looks forward to every class he goes to, and this is the first activity where he hasn't complained once about going, or asking when it will be over.  We recently also had his birthday party there and it was super fun for all involved, including even the parents who got to participate in the taekwondo lesson, watch a performance from the talented demo team of students from this location, and hold boards while their children broke them with the skills they learned at the party. Parents let us know how much fun their children had and commented on how engaging Master Y Kim was specifically. I highly recommend anyone to try out taekwondo classes at Master Chang's and specifically this location.

After wrestling in high school and competing in intramural sports throughout college, I felt as if…read moremy extra energy and competitive drive were misplaced as I entered the work force. Finding TFTC has been one of the best choices I've made since I gotten out of school. I've been able to learn from the top martial artists in the state and have been able to translate that knowledge in various competitions, many I've been fortunate to be successful in. I'm in the best health I've been in since I was a teenager. Every person training at the academy is motivated not only to grow themselves but to have you succeed as well. Everyone is friendly and I've gained great friendships from the gym. I've been lucky enough to train in many places up and down the east coast, but I've always found TFTC to have the best instructors, facilities, and training partners.

Totally worth the investment.
