I first started training down in NJ while I was stationed there for the military. When I moved back…read moreto the New England area I had to find a new gym to train at. I was an amateur MMA fighter and a blue belt in BJJ, and I wanted to find a place that I could continue to train BJJ and MMA and progress as a fighter. I did a ton of research to find a gym that could help me reach my goals and Triumph BJJ seemed to be the best fit. They had lots of good fighters that were competing and winning so I figured they had to be doing something right, so I ended up joining and I am glad I did. I have been training here since then, about 2 and a half years ago. Their Schedule can't be beat offering high level training in BJJ 7 days a week and Striking (Boxing or Muay Thai) most days of the week and led by quality instructors. Also, they just moved into a giant brand new facility with massive amounts of mats space, a full sized mma cage and brand new heavy bags and striking equipment. The classes range from fundamental to high paced competition classes, and there is a wide variety of students with many higher belts on the mats each night and also plenty of white belts. So whether you're already experienced or brand new you will fit right in. Whether you are looking to try bjj or mma for a fun way to get in shape, or to learn to defend yourself, or if you have goals of competing in BJJ or MMA, Triumph is the place to do it. Come check it out!

And apprehensive about what to expect? Dismiss that thought. You'll be welcomed by a crew of amazing people. This is a huge gym, easily the largest in NH, more than likely New England... might even be a contender for the country. If you've been interested in learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, do not hesitate to reach out to Triumph. You'll be glad you did!

I think the other reviewer is crazy. I took class at another martial arts school for years, and…read morethe schedule was much the same. Also, the schedule is clear from the beginning, so I don't know how you can complain about that. For me the schedule works out pretty good, and being able to choose which nights you go each week gives me just enough flexibility. I think the staff is good, and my kids look forward to going to class each time. They have the right balance of patience and discipline. I think my kids are progressing at a pretty good rate. As for the cost... again.. it's all set out from the beginning, so I don't know how you can complain about that afterwards....

My child attended there for few years, but we are unhappy with their service. Parent needs to…read morethink twice before joining. The reasons are following: (1) Class schedule is inconvenience for working parent (2) The tuition fee is way higher than others. (3) Need parent to pay their time off for holidays - Yes - Parent mandatory pay it - at least 3 weeks / a year including 4th of July (1 week), thanksgivings (3 days?), X'Mas to New Year (about 2 weeks), Memorial Days (2-3 days) & more..... (4) Close Sat class for testing at all times. (5) Uniform is expensive. Kid easily outgrow - new pant charges $30+ up (exaggerating mark up price) We went there for few years but I don't see the kids progress. My feeling is going to play group instead of learning martial art. I am so regret that I join there for few years and waste our money. On the other hand, I am glad that I find a better one and left here. My kids love martial art, we find the other place and the new one is excellent. First, the monthly fee is including the uniform (free charge), if the kids outgrow, the pant is only $10/each at new place - very reasonable - the mark up cost is not exaggerating. Second, The new one will not close for a weeks to celebrate any holiday. They only close on July 4 (1 day), Thanksgiving day (1 day), X'Mas Day (1) & New year only. Otherwise, they always open. The master deserves that we pay the holiday or you have choice to making up the class other time - importantly we will not feel like forcing to pay for their 3-4 weeks time offs each year. Ironically, my company pays me 2 weeks vacation only, but they have 3-4 weeks ??? Why parent need to pay it ??? feel like cheating the parent ??? A week is making sense, 3-4 weeks are non-sense. Third - The new one will not close the door for testing, instead the class keeps running in AM, the testing will start in the afternoon. Forth - The new master is outstanding and caring for each kid. Lastly, this is the most important - the new place tuition is lower and the quality is speechless. We save $50/ per month but still attending 2-3 times classes each week. Schedule (Timing) is excellent. I am glad that looking for another place. They have plenty rooms to improve because there are many excellent martial arts in NH. They will lose many customers if they are not improving the issues.

Professor Jimmy not only responded quickly but personally-which is a rarity. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be teaching the class I was able to make but he let the instructor teaching know I'd be there. It's hard walking into a new place, even harder when everyone else knows each other so I was pleasantly surprised when Coach Dasha, called me by name, set me up with a waiver form and even let me use a school's uniform. They're just as technical as they are friendly and I liked that the warm up was related to what we were learning. I was lucky enough to get partnered with one of their resident black belts who not only had some moves but was willing to help me learn what he did. Super welcoming, loved the class structure and everyone there rolled hard but were still so easygoing.

Our daughter absolutely LOVES Dojo Sante. I cannot say enough good things about it. I would without…read morereservation recommend DOJO SANTE to anyone. When we decided to enroll our daughter in karate we went to visit many of the local karate schools so that we could see how they operate, the class size, cleanliness, and overall feel. We liked Dojo Sante the best overall. Our daughter also picked Dojo Sante on her own too, and said she felt the most comfortable there. What we found was the class size at Dojo Sante was smaller, the kids get a lot of individual attention, and they are great motivators. The karate instructors know all of the kids names, and they really want to see them do well. They teach the kids to be respectful, stay focused, and to be grateful. The way they run the class, plus the small class size, leads to a great group of kids that all know each other and take the sport seriously. Our daughter loves it there, and she loves all the friends that she has made. Sensei Matt, also hosts special "parents night out" parties and events for the kids around holidays. We would highly recommend these too. Its worth noting that top to bottom the place is super clean. Our daughter has blossomed since enrolling, she has grown in her confidence, and able to focus. Overall Dojo Sante is just the type of karate school that we were looking for, and we look forward to seeing you there!

My six year old son has been studying at Dojo Sante Martial Arts for about 10 months now and…read moreoverall the experience has been amazing. I'm truly awed by how much he has gotten out of studying at Dojo Sante, particularly around leadership, helping others, mindfulness and gratitude. Additionally, the confidence he has gained from knowing how to defend himself in tough situations is invaluable. On the Dojo Sante website under the "Our Promise" section it states that they "strive to teach each class as if it were the most important class that we will ever teach" and this (along with rest of the promise) is true and fulfilled by the instructors. The owner/primary instructor (Sensei Matt) has a gift for working with kids and with his type of charisma should be hosting a kids show. Along those lines he does do a weekly "Sensei Sunday" video post on Facebook where he'll talk about a topic (being prepared, showing gratitude, etc.) and then discuss it with the students during class to reinforce the concepts. Then while classes are in session I especially admire how he takes the time to call out each student for something positive and work with them individually, while also managing the class as a whole. Along with Sensei Matt are a few other instructors who are also awesome at working with the students and provide excellent leadership while helping the students develop their skills. Additionally sometimes students from his leadership club will assist with classes, which is an awesome teaching method for both my son and the student from the leadership club. In addition to regular classes there are many special events throughout the year at the Dojo such as hosting drop off the kid/date night, summer camps and lots of other cool things. The facilities are nice, clean, well taken care of and have an overall good feel. Overall I highly recommend Dojo Sante, well worth checking out.

I initially found this place from a suggestion of my acupuncturist to help recover from a separated…read moreshoulder. I have to say I recovered in some pretty record time! A great place to do tai chi, meditation or any martial arts. They have kids martial arts as well as adults and the instructors are very knowledgable and offer an environment that is comfortable and easy to learn in. They offer Tai chi (many styles), qigong, bagua, nagong, dao yin (Chinese yoga), do yee (Korean yoga), kempo, Kung fu, shaolin karate, Ching I, and probably some more that I don't know about. My son does the kids shaolin and loves it! I do the qigong, Thai chi (yang and Chen), bagua, daoyin, doyee and meditation. VERY BENIFICIAL for your internal health and strength! Give it a try, first class or two is usually free to get you started.

It's rare that people find something that they are truly passionate about and rarer still that they…read morehave the ability to effectively share that passion with others. The Taoist Arts Center is a rare example of just such an instance when a passion and teaching of that passion are perfectly united. Sloane Franklin, the master instructor and owner, deftly wields a knowledge of that entertains and draws you in as the student, and leaves you rejuvinated and eager for the next class. His explanations are well-informed and articulately delivered and his deep belly laughs are contagious. As someone, who has never been terribly interested in martial arts training, I can whole heartedly endorse this center for anyone interested in improving their health and physical and emotional well-being.
