I enjoy coming here on Tuesdays and Thursdays to both get a good workout and socialize. I've learned how to defend myself if needed, and I've been going to competitions for almost 3 years. Most importantly, I've learned respect and discipline, along with confidence and I have to give it all to coastal. Me and my mom have trained here, it's family friendly, and very enjoyable to be here and learn self defense. Overall I love this place and live for martial arts, to anyone looking to know how to defend themselves, I highly recommend coastal. 11/10

This is hands-down my favorite dojo in America! The head instructor, Corey, is schooled in many…read moreforms of martial arts and an absolute expert in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He is able to teach all levels at once which is a special skill to have; and he does it effortlessly! I was intimidated to practice with the experienced students as I didn't want to hold the class up, but Corey motivated me to join them no matter what, and I couldn't say no to his warmth and authenticity! This and many more of his teachings have empowered me to show up consistently and accelerated quickly! Since starting to train here 3 years ago, my whole life has upgraded. My body has strengthened, my mind has become more aware and present, and my confidence has finally spiked! The people that train here are also inspiring, all in their own ways, and they're a joy to be around. I will continue to recommend this academy to everyone I know, every age, every size, every type, cause Corey is supreme!

I cannot say enough great things about this practice and the owner, Corey. His level of teaching is…read moreone of a kind. Our boys have been in his class for over a year. Corey instills in each student not only self defense and BJJ principles and skills, but also a sense of self value, worth, respect, and honor. He teaches all of his students through his own actions and character how to show kindness and have integrity for their words and actions. Furthermore, I have witnessed Corey personalize his teaching to and pull the best out of each student -- I've seen him tell children who are shy and quiet their voice is valuable and worth hearing -- I've seen him teach children who are wild and/or struggling with obedience/self control that self discipline and paying attention are great skills in life. This is THE BEST BJJ location in Mobile for all ages!!

I had the pleasure of training with instructors at Mazu Muay Thai for a week while I was visiting…read morefrom out of state. I have taken Muay Thai classes from a handful of instructors and the head instructor, Cole is one of the most skilled. His approach is both laid back, and exceedingly detailed. He is able to concisely describe the rationale for doing a technique a certain way, which for me, is something I look for in a class. I do not go to Muay Thai to blow off steam and punch and kick things as hard as I can. I go to class to refine my technique and understand the WHY of how I am moving, defending, and attacking. When I sparred with some of the more competitive teenagers, it felt challenging but safe. I also appreciated the approach of one of the other instructors whose class I enjoyed, but who also made it a point to encourage the team to take care of their bodies, eat healthy, look out for each other, and reach out to him should they ever have any troubles. In this era of total disconnection, it was nice to see someone actively building community and offering support to members. I leave with more knowledge than I came with and I look forward to dropping in on my next trip!

Both of us are extremely proud of the progress he has made in the short period of time. We are here for the long haul and I can't wait to see his performance....a year from now...two years from now. This class is definitely teaching him self control and I've noticed a marked improvement in his overall mood and temperament. Coach Cole has the ability to adjust his teaching methods to any age and skill level. I'm sure this comes from his many years of experience and his love of the sport. Joining Mazu Muay Thai is one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Don't waste your money! My daughter is a senior varsity player and went to the first day of a…read more three day field player soccer camp with Southern Crescent Academy. She was put with boys aged 8-13. I called the next morning and spoke to Glen Fox, he said he would switch her to the varsity boy's team. I said I didn't want her to get hurt playing with them and the little boys were of no training value, so I would like a refund for the two days she would not be attending. He flatly refused any type of refund! No where on the website did it say this was an all boy program and that there were no age groups. I hardly think it was fair that my seventeen year old daughter scored every goal on the little kids, who quickly became frustrated, nor would it be fair for her to play with 17-18 year old boys! Mr. Fox is certainly not worried about the kids, his only concern is the money he is collecting. Do yourself a favor and choose a different camp for your child.

Started out with a good experience here until my constant concerns for my daughter being bullied…read morewere ignored to the point my daughter finally stuck up for herself and hurt a girls feelings and in turn was the one then suspended for 2 weeks regardless of the fact i went to her COACH- JUDY multiple times prior to the suspending concerned for my daughter and how she was being treated by her teammates as well as and most importantly by her- her own coach who is supposed to encourage, to teach and to love!!! judy only showed a lack of respect and compassion for my daughters' well-being and self-esteem as a gymnast and young human being. My daughter started out with a great coach who was fun, cared for her, and encouraged her, but once the coaches changed,(good one fired) I saw a negative impact on my daughter and her self-esteem and love for the sport. The cherry on top of my constant concerns for my daughter and how she was treated by her coach and teammates was an incident during practice where her coach humiliated her in front of all the other girls after she asked her if she was tested for covid, the rest of the practice she was teased and the girls continued to assume she was just a liar and shouldn't be at practice after the coach was negligent and asked her a private question in front of the whole team where my young 7 yr old daughter felt she had to lie and say she was tested because she felt she would be wrong if she wasn't and would be asked to leave. Karen didn't address this with the coach and nothing was done here, her coach went on like this didn't happen and from what I'm hearing from other past gymnast parents is that they too have had bad experiences with this coach in the past, their fun gymnast loving child went from happy and loving of the sport to burnt out and unhappy due to the lack of nurturing and encouragement from a non family oriented coach. That all on top of the fact there were girls on the team calling my daughter fat and asking her why her legs were so big!!! - nothing came of any of that! After my daughter's 2 week suspension I had reached out to a second gym -eastern shore, about my concerns and my message was ignored and relayed to Karen the gym owner of baycity, yes, my private conversation with one gym owner was ignored and shared with a second gym owner whom I have/had 2 children enrolled with(baycity). Karen calls me and immediately unrolled BOTH of my children from her gym without any consent from me. This whole situation with both gyms was so very unprofessional, and it showed me that they do not care and have never cared about my children. I am still very upset and there is most definietly some unfinished business here and when she called me, In regards to the other gym owner who shared my private conversation with her i tried to touch on the situation again and why I reached out to another gym but I was only shut down. I was shut down by Karen, and her only response (very snotty) was, have a wonderful rest of your day, and we wish your daughter luck and the best. I'm appalled and completely heartbroken as a mother, my poor children one who has been in gymnastics since she was 3 and is now 8 is being punished and shunned from a sport she loves because two unprofessional gym owners! You know your daughter is hurt when she falls asleep in her bed, holding all her gymnastics medals she's ever won! I'm so hurt we left an amazing gym in AZ to come here with high hopes to be a part of another gym family with higher hopes for great coaches only to be very disappointed and hurt. I never thought this would happen to our family, but it has, and my poor daughter is the one punished.
