I really just signed up to spar but multiple months later that never even happened lol and then dude tells me I need to pay extra to spar lmfao. Guess guy took a disliking to me after he took my money and just wasted my time. Other female instructor with glasses honestly just sucked too, made childish comments about me. I watched her front street fights and nothing special. There was a couple good coaches but seems like the majority are just there for money cause gym went commercial for sure. Lame experience cause of petty coaches but facility is nice. Found a new gym and sparred first day and got my fix. Wouldn't recommend to anyone above the age of 18, they will for sure suck your dry financially and waste your time.

Then in order to cancel, it takes a month before they do so and you have to attend X amount of classes during that canceled month in order for them to stop charging you. That sounds very intimidating. Second of all, the students were very verbally aggressive and not anything like my previous relations with jiu jitsu. The coach was fine but constanly had to tell his students to calm down. He was a nice guy but I wish he had made a better environment for his students.

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. The coaches have everyone's best interests at heart and do an amazing job at making sure you're learning in a good environment. 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. If you have any inkling of trying martial arts out, go here.

Edit: Ive trained here for 6 months to know that the owners rip off and waste their students time…read more They charge around 300 dollars a month to go through a kickboxing program in order to start sparring but at the same time they force you to go through a belt system which is fine if you are a beginner. But if you have previous experience from other gyms this not the place as they wont let you spar right away do to this lame belt system. When I simply asked why they dont let people spar right away they quickly got mad and rudley raised their voice at me saying you need to be orange belt or whatever. They also dont let you train with the mma fighters even if you are experienced because apparently you are not good enough to train with them which sounds like narcissism and bad egos. They will also ban you for cross training between them and any other gym as they did with me because of their self centered egos not getting the attention they want. Overall very unwelcoming and just bad vibes and egos all around. As far as your response to my review i never ever tried to take away your students, I am well aware you guys are spreading this lie around town since some of your people still talk to me even after you banned me. Whats wrong with hanging out and being friends with teammates outside the gym?

No martial arts experience . Nothing. They have a way of teaching kids that is superior to anything else Ive seen or heard about. This is not a jungle gym. It's a place to learn the best defensive martial art in the world. It's in a huge, clean studio where parents can watch their kids learn. Not some back room not set up for success. Led by a crew of highly trained upper belts. Team Rhino has been nothing short of a Miracle for our kids. Who should go here: kids who are getting bullied at school, kids who aren't getting bullied but perhaps they're on the smaller side for their age, girls should 100% be attending this. It is the closest thing to a superpower they will ever get. Safety, consistency, and a stellar curriculum round out this place. This place is not like places I learned bjj. These folks are welcoming and nice. They also have a stellar tournament group.
