“I took an early AM class with Coach Frank and was very impressed! You can tell he's been coaching for a long time-- and he speaks English, Spanish, AND Portuguese! He really knows how to break down instruction into easy to digest pieces so that learners of all levels can be successful and effective. He's very clear and balanced in his instruction: he doesn't over-explain or under-explain and gives exactly the right amount of time to work the techniques. I love that he started from standing and taught a logical progression to a guard pass. He was super friendly and welcoming. The gym is conveniently located inside the 24-hour fitness center, and I was able to go work out and sit in the steam room afterward. It's very neat and clean inside. No gimmicks, no cultish dogma, just good martial arts instruction! And I've seen their kids classes as well. They have a large group of kids, well organized instruction, and a great mix of game-based learning/ mobility training, technique acquisition, and fun!”
