The good news, is that the training is pretty decent, and the instructors are knowledgeable. And…read morethat is where the good ends. The facility is cramped and not real welcoming, tucked away behind another business in a more industrial area. Really a pretty poor location. This could be over looked by the decent training. What cannot be over looked is the ridiculous contract. It is very tightly written with exceptions that are almost impossible to use if you get injured or move. I wanted to change my membership based on how far away I live. Owner claimed he couldn't because he didn't have enough members. If a $50 change in one membership has a detrimental effect on your business you have bigger problems. He also claimed there was no out to the contract, and best I could do was transfer it to someone else, and acted like he was doing me a favor. He later offered to lower my membership but at this point there was no way I was supporting a dishonest business like this. I did buy you my contract at a significant discount. I did this because it is not worth the cost and stress to fight it. I should have read the contract more closely (having a physical copy would have been a plus) and I should have chosen the lower cost option, but the owner should have been more willing to work with me. The goal of a business like this is to keep members, and not working with your members (within reason) is not a way to keep members. Learn from my mistake, and don't sign a contract.

He makes every effort to prioritize professional decorum and safety. He's been instrumental in creating world champions, helping anyone achieve the goals they set for themselves, but most importantly keeping the atmosphere and utility of the gym a fun environment that you always feel welcomed in. If you've ever been curious about starting BJJ, but just a little timid to start because of the nature of the sport, there's no better place to start than under Michel. His patience and compassion for his students is really remarkable. I couldn't of picked anyplace better to start my BJJ journey and have never regretted it. The growth you gain from BJJ will transcend into so many aspects of your life. Best personal growth investment I've ever made training under Michel and the ghost squad.

As a stay-at-home mom, the schedule makes it easy to fit training into our busy routine. I also love that I can bring my kids. Sometimes they take their own class, sometimes they just color and hang out with other kids while their parents train. This school is incredibly family friendly and welcoming. Another thing I'd like to add is the youth coach program. There are occasionally a handful youth coaches on the mat with the professor, and I love that my boys get the opportunity to observe bigger kids helping others and offering guidance as they train. When my boys train in the all-ages class, I also see them model that patient, coaching mindset with students who are younger or newer than them. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Castle Rock. It's a great school that makes you feel like you're part of a community and not just another gym membership.

Understand the Terms Before Committing…read more Castle Rock Martial Arts offers a structured and engaging training experience, but as with any membership-based program, it's important to fully understand the terms before enrolling. After reading some of the other reviews, it seems that I share a similar experience with others regarding clarity around membership commitments and billing practices. In fact, 4 out of 14 reviews (including mine)(at this current time), which is over 28%, express concerns about the same issues. Understanding details such as contract terms, recurring charges, and the cancellation process can help prevent misunderstandings. Setting clear expectations from the start ensures a smoother experience.

Kids classes (my son is 12) are held Monday through Thursday and also on Friday for those seeking to compete. The facility is clean, generally has a lot of space for the kids to warmup and then roll, and the professors all treat the kids respectfully - although they do push them to work hard and improve their technique. I want to especially commend Professor Gui and Professor Rebekah for all their positive interactions with my son. They both always make it a point to say hello and speak to him before class, asking how he is doing, how school is going, and just general questions about him. That personal touch has not gone unnoticed by me, and other parents have commented on the same for their children. Adult classes are also offered, and from the turn out I see each evening (classes begin immediately after the kids class, at 6pm) - the adult students are also impressed with the facility and instruction. Bom Jitsu is truly a family and I am glad to have found them in Castle Rock.

Sean, the owner, is one of the nicest people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting and is an outstanding instructor. Our Granddaughter loves to attend the classes and always comes home excited to tell us what she has learned. The students all respect each other and there are separate classes for teens and adults. Aikido teaches self defense but it is so much more. Self respect as well as respect for others are the core of Aikido . Aikido also teaches self-confidence as well as physical conditioning and much of what is learned is actually a philosophy that can be used throughout ones life. I have watched several classes and I am amazed at the quality of instruction. Each student receives both individualized instruction as well as being able to practice with other students. The Teachers are very involved and the safety of the students is a priority. Many people who practice Aikido stick with it for life. There is no end to what can be learned. The classes are very reasonably priced and sometimes there are guest instructors who will come to the school and teach classes. You can't go wrong with Sean and his fine company, Castle Rock Aikido. .
