I am Grateful above all else, for the teachings Stephen is offering to humanity. This place is balance and peace, chasing sunrises and sunsets along the driveway while you get the odds on the beavers re-routing the lake across the driveway to bless your wheels as you leave this place. Love and Laughter are virtues of Stephen's Kung Fu - lucky are you to read this review and follow through. Thank You

My kids have not been to XMA since Fall of 2022 and I have over $2000 worth of charges (December…read more2023) for my kids this 2024 year! Its hard to get ahold of anyone. I spoke to Jeff in January about the charges-he said he would call back and followup but never did. I put in a dispute with my credit card company but it did not get resolved because XMA disputed it. I should have never paid for my kids memberships annually...this rollover membership is a ripoff since the company doesn't followup with families. It must be nice just to earn money for kids that don't actually go. Unfortunately, its the families who pay. I heard they were really great at one point, but a bunch of families have mentioned how its gone down hill. Plus I know I'm not the only one who has issues with charges.

Living in downtown we are SO FORTUNATE to have Sensei Andy and the Dojo. I was very nervous to start as an almost 40 year old beginner. Sensei Andy offered me a private first session to familiarize myself with all things Karate and I recommend the same to any beginner. Goju Ryu is a beautiful martial art passed down from the Okinawans and from the research and understanding I continue to build, Chuck Merrimans Dojo here in Niantic is an outpost of that art!

I have been training here for several months and it is by far the best jiu jitsu academy I have…read moreexperienced. The instruction is extremely professional, structured, and consistent. There are multiple highly skilled black belts who are actively involved in teaching, and the level of technical detail and attention given to students is impressive. As a woman, feeling comfortable and respected in a martial arts environment is very important to me, and this gym absolutely delivers. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and focused on learning real, practical self-defense skills. The instructors take the time to ensure students understand techniques properly, and safety and discipline are clearly a priority. The culture here is very positive -- everyone is friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in improving together. Whether you are a beginner or experienced practitioner, you feel encouraged and challenged in the best way. They also have a fantastic kids program that emphasizes confidence, respect, and strong fundamentals in a structured environment. If you are looking for high-quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction with experienced black belts, a respectful atmosphere, and a strong sense of community, I highly recommend training here. I am very glad I chose this academy and look forward to continuing my training here long-term.

My review addresses that cleanliness needs improvement, not the instruction. Note visits were months apart, but both visits fell short. - The bathroom was in very poor condition. -no toilet paper, very dirty toilet and it felt neglected overall. There were no paper towels to dry hands only a used wet towel hanging over the towel bar which I assumed was from someone that showered. I did not look in the shower to check cleanliness as I would not use. Second visit there were still no paper towels to dry hands. There was toilet paper but toilet still needed good cleaning. Also,The floors didn't appear to be cleaned before the training session and I did not see it cleaned after. However we only went a couple times-not sure of schedule. But I do feel it is something that should be done after each session considering people are barefoot and sweat on mats. Hoping the cleanliness factor will be addressed.
