Were so great with the kids and kept them entertained the entire time. They showed tricks and wowed the guests, let each guest chop a board, and even helped the birthday boy cut his cake with a giant samurai sword. This will go down as my favorite birthday party for sure. I was so impressed with the two instructors. Although they were only 16 years old, you'd be hard pressed to find more engaging instructors. They seriously blew me away. Extremely well spoken and friendly, they remembered every single child name. They were welcoming, attentive, And even helped me set up. I think they even had all of the parents paying close attention to the instruction. And so many of the parents commented on how impressed they were as well. Such a fantastic job!!!

Instructors are really great! They really watch your kids form and correct when necessary…read more Extremely hands on. They know the names of every single child and their parents. They even provide feedback when they get a chance during class changes. It's a community type of atmosphere if you allow yourself to engage and participate. My kids where not very motivated in the beginning but after awhile they really started digging it. Pricing might be an obstacle for lower income families. I made the financial sacrifice because my son needed something like this after being beat up in school. Coming here really boosted his self-esteem and confidence. Again, such awesome instructors and helpers. A great investment on your child/children for sure.

My son has continued and expanded his "whole body learning" both in direct TKD skills and cardiovascular health, but also character development. My daughter participated in private lessons and received timely support by way of the Granieri's encouraging message of self-worth, self-identity, and self-defense. When other activities (baseball!!) take us from our normal participation levels, there is never judgement, only welcoming arms when we settle back into routine. My children are 14 and 11. There are many students in that age cluster. The location is easily accessible off Route 51 near the Arboretum, and the class schedules allows for flexibility to your week. We are completely satisfied and look forward to continued growth with URMA!

The search for a place that was friendly to beginners (but provided the opportunity to grow), close enough to home, and affordable for my family was on. Prof. King said, "The hardest thing that folks walking through the door for the first time will do in this building is often stepping onto the mat for he first time." It's important to distinguish here between "hard" and "challenging." Each class (I've taken BJJ and Group Fitness classes) is incredibly challenging both mentally and physically. The absolute hardest thing to do, though, was to step onto the mat for the first time. Like most difficult things, though, my only regret is not having done it sooner. The community is truly amazing. Many are very skilled and accomplished BJJ practitioners. At the same time, I've not run into a single person who wasn't enthusiastic (sincerely) about showing new people some new stuff! I can't say enough great things about AOM.
