The instructors are among the best I have ever experienced--welcoming and super helpful with new students. There are tons of classes to choose from, and most importantly--at convenient times! Both my kids also takes the kids Krav Maga class with Sensei Rich and they love it--they are learning discipline, respect and self-defense. My daughter has had some bullying incidents at school in the past and I love how the class has built confidence and the skills to stick up for herself.

As a new student they were not welcoming at all, The instructor actually said to my 4 year old son "if your scared go sit down with mommy." At his first class! Makes no sense for him to speak about bullies and yet he's bullying my 4 year old.. At the Krav Maga class My son was told to punch and kick.. was never taught how to so he got confused..but then he was told to sit down again.. The classes are also very large cause they want to pack as many students in as possible so the students spend most of the time sitting...there's also no room for the parents to sit and watch either..

I would not be exaggerating to say that L.I. Ninjutsu Centers and Shihan Allie, both changed (and…read moresaved) my life. More than once. To be honest, an online review cannot do justice to everything I learned and gained from my training here. I could write a short book about it. Put simply, if you train hard, dedicate yourself, trust the lessons, and stick it out, you will transform your life in ways you simply cannot imagine. My only regret is that I wish I could have started training as a child, because I was often bullied and picked on, and the discipline, confidence and focus I gained would have benefited me even more. If you are a parent, I would not hesitate to say that enrolling your child/children at this school would be one of the best things you could ever do for them.

When I attended this excuse for a school, I came to notice that for the most part of the class he…read moretaught us how to do cartwheels, forward rolls, backward rolls and dive rolls; I could have went to a jungle gym. The little amount of time spent on what supposed to be self defense moves failed when I went to a real martial art school. The instructor had us do reactionary drills, and environment simulation (no mind), where you randomly get a grab or a controlled punch or tackle to have your body to automatically respond to it, his maneuvers failed in a the real world simulation. And to add; no real sparing. There's no head contact or "trapping" blocks involved. How is one going to know how it feels to get hit when engaged in soft sparing. Dont ever sign a contract with king Allie, who thinks he's god's gift to the world. He will take you to court and sue you. He sued me for a lousy 400 dollars. He is also freaky. When he heard that I went to train elsewhere he had "one of his associates" come and spy on me. He left a threatening message on my answering machine, and on the phone when I spoke to him. He threatened me with blackmail. He told me he will contact my new instructor and bad mouth me if I dont pay the 400 dollars. He boasted in so many word that he knows everybody in the local martial art community, and he will ruin my reputation and talk bad about me. The threat failed because he previously spoke to my instructor before the shakedown and threats. My new instructor laughed. I unfortunately trained there for 2 years before I had enough of cartwheels, dive rolls, acrobatics, and holding a wooden sword in my hand for 10 minutes.

My Personal Experience with Carlos Henrique Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu…read more This post reflects my family's personal experience after being involved with the academy for approximately six years. During that time, my son was extremely dedicated to the program and is an avid competitor in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For over five years, he was at the academy almost every day from approximately 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. He would arrive early to assist with coaching younger students for two classes and then stay to train for two classes himself. We invested a tremendous amount of time, travel, and resources so he could compete at tournaments around the United States. Unfortunately, during that time my son experienced what we perceived as ongoing bullying behavior from another coach/parent at the academy. From our perspective, he was ridiculed, made fun of, and demoralized in front of others, which negatively impacted his confidence and emotional well-being. We raised concerns but did not feel the situation was adequately addressed. During the COVID shutdown, families continued to be charged full tuition while the academy was closed. We were told online classes would be provided, but in our experience those were limited or did not occur as expected. The academy also holds belt promotions twice a year that include a promotion fee (approximately $150). Families considering enrollment should be aware of those additional costs. When we ultimately decided to leave the academy, the transition felt uncomfortable and we felt discouraged from training elsewhere. This post reflects our family's personal experience after six years at the academy. Other families may have different experiences, but I believe parents should have full information when deciding where their children train. We have been gone for over two years now BEST DECISION I COULD HAVE EVER MADE. My son is excelling and learning to enjoy the art and sport of JIU JITSU AND COMMUNITY.
