Coach Britt takes the time to thoroughly explain and demonstrate the techniques. My fellow students are more of a community, supporting each other to the max. Interspersed with the physical and mental training is the camaraderie (and in my case teasing... as the "Old Man" it comes with the territory) associated with being part of a team. The sessions include adults of all ages and experience levels, so no one feels awkward; you immediately are welcomed into the fold.

Our 13 yr old son had been attending the kids self defense class for 2 and half years. The environment is very friendly and family like, very comfortable. Our son learned a lot and most importantly it helped him with self-confidence at school as he is of average size. Then he moved to the more advanced class. World class ! The coach Britt is a world class master for practical real life self defense, knows how to train very well, energetic, makes each session very interesting, engaging. Truly God sent coach. Highly recommend for kids, teens , adults. Time and money well spent !

My son started white belt a little over a month ago. Bashta Sr. and Jr. are incredible. Jr works…read moregreat with the younglings and serves as a really great role model. What I love about Sr. is that he keeps the kids IN CHECK! Martial arts starts with discipline and many of these young kids are bouncing around or talking or not listening to directions. I appreciate that Sr. keeps them in line. In fact I prefer it because it's so distracting to the other kids who really want to learn and the parents aren't telling their own kids to buckle up and stop playing around.

I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) at Bashta's for 5 months under Adam Laudano. BJJ is…read moreoffered 3 days a week and also 1 more day of open mat. The classes always start off with a 30 minute warm-up that includes a variety of cardio exercises and stretching. We then usually drill a new technique and/or practical self-defense for up to 45 minutes. Adam's instruction is very detail oriented and thorough. He won't let a single person go through class without being able to perform the technique well. He is respectful and is seemingly unlimited in his knowledge of BJJ. After drilling, we "roll" (spar) with each other for 15-30 minutes. I get the sense that i'm part of a "team" because everyone supports each other at regional competitions. Competing is encouraged as a means to grow skills and progress. No one is expected to win, only to learn. All of the students are very respectful and helpful. There is a variety of white belts all the way to black. The black and brown belts are extremely respectful and helpful to the other students. There is no pressure in Adam's classes, or feeling of judgment by others. The classes themselves are very informal, questions are encouraged at all times. My fitness has greatly improved overall from taking BJJ. I used to go to Planet Fitness 4-5 days a week and see much superior results from doing BJJ.

When attending Mr. Ziwak's martial arts lessons I know I can expect a full body workout, compared to going to a gym where I only use certain muscles. Besides martial arts lessons, I attend some of his workout sessions as well. I would encourage anyone who is looking to learn self-defense and/or looking to get a good workout to go with Mr. Ziwak.
