I saw their ad for a women's self-defense class and decided to give it a try. I've always wanted…read moreto try Krav so this was the perfect opportunity. It was a two-day class for 2.5 hrs each day. August and John were very welcoming to all the students and, after a short intro, we got to work. There were women of all ages and fitness levels, and all were really getting into it and learning. August introduced the right amount of stress to the training as we progressed and introduced real-world scenarios, which was extremely helpful. When I told a friend of mine (as I was showing off my new bruises :)) that it was 2.5 hours per class, she questioned "Why so long? They should do like 1-hour instruction & practicum, no?" My response was that I felt part of the training was to put you in stress mode and make you fight when tired. Again, real world. We took short water breaks, but everyone was excited to get back on the mat! I travel alone a lot for work and have had been in some situations I couldn't avoid, so I know the skills I learned (and will continue to practice) will be something I can draw on should I need to. Should I decide to become a practitioner, I'm sure I'll be coming here. Looking forward to their street training class, whenever the next one comes up. Thanks August!

I'm still pretty new...a few months in...but every class I've gone to has been super fun and interesting. There are no issues with ego here like you might encounter in other martial art communities. Everyone is patient and kind and the discussions range from philosophical to lighthearted. It's a safe place to learn and grow and you're encouraged to ask questions. I always learn something new and I always want to come back to learn and try more new things. In addition, you can hang out outside of class because we're all that close. I've met individuals from out of state and the overall experience is so welcoming and enthusiastic. Everyone wants to learn and grow. If you are looking for a dojo that will teach you not only how but also why, you will not be disappointed. The lessons on how to move in the dojo can be applied in daily life and the community is a testament to that. Reach out to Sensei Shane and you'll get a feel of what Bujinkan is and check out a class and you'll see what I mean. It's not just punches and kicks. It's so much more. Don't miss out.

I've never trained in any discipline of martial arts, so I was pretty nervous. The atmosphere of the gym is nonjudgmental and very welcoming.

I don't have any little ones, but I've heard from numerous people that their kids classes are just as top-notch as the adult ones. Although it's a small gym with only one mat, the togetherness of the group makes it work. I plan to train with these fine people for many years to come.
