Solid Dojo and martial arts training…read more The person saying the owner does not have legitimate credentials obviously does not have the ability to use a search engine. He seems to think that Apache Knife, Alpha Krav Maga (Sam Sade led), Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Kick Boxing, Sparring classes taught by a golden gloves winner, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, and Pilipino Eskrima/Stick/Knife are all some how not real martial arts. All of the programs are well taught and very applicable in real life. The dojo has an incredibly knowledgeable Master Instructor as well as multiple programs and instructors with deep community roots. I have been in a McDojo/Belt Factory before, this is not one. This dojo is very good at teaching all who walk through the door, regardless of their natural capabilities. If you are looking for a place to reinforce a big ego and sneer at others with a total lack of humility, well then it's not a good fit for you. I recommend it for those who are serious about training AND/OR for those who are not looking for quite so intense of a place. It is a very open, supportive, and positive program and community.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO LEARN REAL MARTIAL ARTS!! Would give 0 stars if possible!!…read more Total Mcdojo, the head instructor isn't credentialed at all, "Alpha Krav Maga" is fake, they have you drilling ridiculous knife and handgun counters that'll get you killed in real life and that's fucking dangerous, giving people a false sense of confidence in the bullshit you're teaching them. Their Facebook also says that they teach kickboxing and MMA but the head instructor has ZERO competition experience in either, seriously try to find a single clip of the head bullshit instructor here "Thomas Howanic' competing in a single martial art, you can't. Not BJJ comps, not karate comps, not kickboxing, not MMA, not taekwondo, nothing. Try to find someone who trained under him competing in anything either, you can't because he's a bullshit artist who teaches people shit that doesn't work and then says his academy is "geared towards self defense" as an excuse why his academy teaches so many different arts but competes in none. He lists several blackbelts on their website but never names his lineage or where he recieved these belts from, which screams fake bullshit. On top of all of that it's just an unpleasant place. Both the head instructor and his wife are such fake people. Trained here for about 2 months and realized they didn't give a shit about anything besides money because if you wear gear that wasn't bought at their gym they'll pester you everyday about getting one of their "uniforms" even tho you're already paying to train there. All in all this gym is terrible and there's legitimately no reason to come here with how many other amazing schools are in the city. This was my first experience with martial arts and I'm glad I didn't let this shitty gym ruin it for me, have been doing BJJ at a REAL academy with instructors who are actual black belts with credentials and competition experience for 3 years and I couldn't be happier, seriously the difference between this school and a real BJJ/karate/MMA/kickboxing gym is like night and day.Go anywhere else, shit is Rex Kwon Do tier, they just want your money

I've been going to Marra Senki for about 6 months now and I'm extremely happy with the instruction…read moreand my progress! Just before I joined Marra I went to a popular BJJ place with a few locations and did not like their sales tactic. I trained there for a month and they told me to have my son try classes and the locked me in contract. When my son didn't like it they made me pay the rest of the contract The instruction is WAYYYYY better at Marra. Professor Ray and Professor Marra are SUPER patient with my white belt skills and is very observant with everyone in the class. The best part about the school is the students that attend. Everyone is VERY respectful and accepting of new students which is super important. The guys and gals become a little family which is amazing in a gym. STOP READING THIS AND JOIN US

I've never felt more comfortable at a BJJ school like I have here, and no matter how lazy I feel, I always want to come train here. The pricing is competitive and there are discounts for family, military, and first responders. If you are ever in the neighborhood and want to check it out, the staff will always make you feel welcome. If I could I would give this place would get 100 stars.

If you are looking for authentic Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place. Roland's academy is…read moreaffiliated under Master Pedro Sauer, who teaches Jiu-Jitsu the way it was originally intended to be trained, for self-defense (dealing with strikes on the ground, weapons, etc.), and not only for competition. There are no egos, and everyone is there to help each other get better. Safety is heavily emphasized, and while rolling is intense (as it should be) it is also friendly. Roland is a good teacher who wants to give people the real deal. He also has several high level brown belts who help to teach, as well as a few that will soon be testing for their Black Belt under Master Sauer. There is an established curriculum that is followed, with clear criteria for each belt rank, and the curriculum is worked on frequently in class. If you are looking for BJJ, and are interested in it for all of the reasons that made it popular in the first place, you should check it out. I've tried several of the other BJJ academies in town and, while I found good people at all of them, I wish I had found this one first.

Prof Malone and the class immediately made me feel welcome. I was very impressed with his technique, attention to detail, and natural teaching ability. The Gracie/Sauer based curriculum provides goal directed learning and sets a high standard. The focus on self defense is what sold me, and I now feel more confident on the mats and in the street. The personal attention you get here was hard to find elsewhere. Can't speak enough about this place. You owe it to yourself to check it out!
