It's made very clear what is expected of the student, and what happens if the student doesn't fulfill what is expected. Master Elmore (5th degree), the other instructors and long-term member-families are fantastic -- technically knowledgeable, respectful, supportive, and inclusive. The studio itself is great: large open space, clean, good lighting, and a good viewing area for spectators.

Master Elmore runs a great shop and cares deeply about the development of his students. If you or…read moreyour kids are interested, I highly suggest you stop by to get information on when you can join and try it out!

Putting our 10‑year‑old daughter in BJJ at Combat Arts Academy has been life‑changing…read more In just six months, we've watched her grow stronger, more confident, and more resilient. She carries herself differently now with calm, courage, and self‑belief. The confidence she's building on the mat shows up everywhere else too. The coaches are phenomenal with kids -firm, encouraging, and deeply respectful. They teach more than self‑defense: they teach discipline, mental toughness, and how to stand tall without aggression. As a parent, knowing my daughter is learning to protect herself while being empowered and supported means everything. If you're looking for BJJ that builds strong skills and strong kids, Combat Arts Academy is truly special. Dawa'

I've studied Chen-style tai chi with Viola for about a year and a half, and I am continually amazed…read moreby the skill and passion she brings to her teaching. From my first classes (when I was an absolute beginner) to now (when I am learning broad sword and other advanced forms that make my head spin), I have always felt just enough of a challenge/stretch to get me out of my comfort zone, while still feeling nurtured and grounded. I now go to classes three mornings per week, and I can't say enough about what that practice has done for my physical and emotional well-being. Something I really appreciate is that Viola models how to keep learning and growing. As masterful as she is - and I have never seen another martial artist of her caliber - she still travels as far as Chen Village in China to study with Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei so she can refine her practice and bring new ideas back to the school. Through Viola's dedication and generosity, Wise Orchid has blossomed into a very special community, and I am proud to be a part of it.

I have always wanted to get into yoga but never had the chance until I was on maternity leave. I started going to the Limber Babies class and O M G my baby and I looove it. It's literally the highlight of my week. At the beginning of class Aubrey checks in with every person to see how our mind and bodies are feeling and what our bodies need work on so she can decide what yoga poses to help strengthen us. 1000/10 review for this place if I could! My baby and I literally adore the atmosphere and everyone (the other moms and babies there). We even made other mom friends and go to get coffee right across the street afterwards. If you are thinking about coming here but just on the fence about it, I can assure you that you will NOT regret it!
