They turned us down at the door. Made us schedule for another day, which we will not be attending. To management: I didn't think I would need to explain this but leaving a crap taste in a potential customer's mouth before they even have a chance to try your product/service is just bad for business. Especially when you're dealing with children. We will be choosing a different Dojo that's more parent friendly, there's 4 others in the area. Pathetic

The structure of being at the Dojo has helped her with confidence, focus, discipline and understanding the value of hard work. My daughter is working on her black belt now.

He's now eager to follow the instructors commands and attend when in the beginning he was scared to get out there because he was kicked out of the other class which said it was his age group but there were way older kids who appeared to have gone before. Dojo classes truly are kids his own age and a mostly kids that have only began within a few months or two but all still young and on same developmental level. Very impressed with their ethics and interactions with the children.

I can't say enough nice things about these guys!

Coach Lamb is friendly, yet stern and knows how to get the best out of the kids. It's really wonderful to see how engaged my son is with this. Around my house, it's easier to get him to be respectful and listen when telling him to clean his room, get ready for school/bed, etc.....and the fact that he now says "yes m'am" without being prompted is pretty darned awesome, I must say. The staff here cares, and it really shows!

My wife is halfway through her rank progression in Krav Maga, which takes a lot longer. Full disclosure: This school is NOT a black belt factory!!! Both of my daughters and I myself came up short along the way at one test or another. They do NOT compromise their standards, nor should they. One of the most important lessons my kids have learned is how to push through tough times. I totally disagree with the characterization that they ignore individuals... instructors are always available to help students with a skill at the end of class. They have testing camps. If somebody is having serious issues with a technique, they have individual lessons... they don't hold the class hostage for one student, and I am glad for that. Within the wider ATA world, Borders is well known for their commitment to excellence and producing the best real-life sparring skills.

Hope to see you there!

One thing about Kickboxing you have to be consistent in everything you do...You definitely have to go at least 3 to 4 times a week. I always have a great workout, I know I'm burning calories and also you have to have a good diet to keep the weight consistent and off of you. The staff and instructors make you feel welcomed.

Every day when I pick him up, he asks if he can stay longer and even wants to come on the weekends. As a parent, that excitement gives us so much peace of mind knowing he's happy and in great hands. We love that this isn't a typical after school program. He's not only learning karate, but they also make sure homework gets done. We were honestly shocked when he asked to stay longer just to finish his homework, which says a lot about the positive environment they've created. The staff are very kind, attentive, and supportive. We're so grateful we found this program and highly recommend it to other parents.

I had never done anything of this sort before and was a bit nervous when starting out. However, the more I went the more comfortable and confident I felt. They have a nice family setting and are very friendly. They do the steps along with you and are there for when you get hung up on a movement. Very traditional as well. Not only do they teach you traditional karate, but they also teach the culture, the meaning behind the techniques, and how you can apply it to real-life self defense. Compassionate and full of love for their students, they are willing to listen, help, and work around any concerns or problems you may have. I fully recommend checking the dojo out.
