“Clean, ample mat space. Great vibe, great coach. Not intimidating for new students and all the current students are very helpful and , no big egos on the mat. Plus the coach is very welcoming of family and has an area set up for kids while the parents train. Give it a try and see for yourself. Glad i found it.”
