Threshold does community work with my daughter’s grade school, Fairview, so we decided to give it a try during the winter to stay active. After 3 months, she still loves the classes & has even made several great friends. It continues to be a very positive experience & a rare find. Thank you!

I've been training here for over a year, and it's a fantastic environment for learning Jiu Jitsu! I started with no previous martial arts experience and I felt both welcomed and properly challenged to succeed over the months of training. The instructors are all high level (two black belts, and several purple ones) with plenty of martial arts experience. One of the things I appreciate a lot in this academy is that the BJJ classes also focus on practical self defense, not just the sporting aspect. All-in-all, it's a very positive and well-rounded experience. The training partners are great people, as nobody has anything to "prove" to anyone else. People are very respectful to each other, and the facility itself is kept clean and tidy.

We have had our children at Threshold Martial Arts since November 2023 and it has been a great experience. Bill and the other instructors work closely with kids to instill discipline, confidence and the importance of knowing how to defend yourself. We love that the theme is, "never start the fight, but know how to protect yourself" Bill brings an air of authority and structure that has always felt lacking in other activities we have enrolled the kids in. We are thrilled with the experience at Threshold and feel it has been a real confidence and activity boost for our two boys. I would recommend Threshold to any parent who has high energy kids, like ours, that need that energy it channeled in a positive and constructive way.

I took my young nephew there, unprofessional and depressing place and way too expensive. This guy charges for promotions and testing - huge red flag - and they charge for trials too. I’ve been training for 22 years and I know a McDojo when I see one 👎🏻
