Wonderful experience!! All of the instructors are positive and helpful to each and every student. The atmosphere is very much a teach the teacher method, which promotes accountability in the students. My child is thriving and begs to go daily to try and earn additional stripes. Huge shot out to Tank, Mr Day, and Mr Kaufman - the encouraging environment and uplifting attitude you bring is inspiring!

I absolutely love it here, and so do my children! Lessons are the highlight of their busy week, and my son has really blossomed into a better version of himself since starting here. The staff is always incredibly respectful and kind, and they're willing to work with any issue from my end. They have always made us feel welcome. Good customer service and professionalism are priceless, and on top of that, they're amazing teachers. The facilities are always clean, and they've kept up with all the recent covid restrictions. I highly recommend choosing Way of Life if you're interested in martial arts lessons for your child, or even for yourself as an adult. Clearly the staff and owner here have a real passion for teaching and martial arts, and it shows with every lesson.

Our son has tried nearly every sport and has never been more focused while interacting with coaches/instructors than he has with Zach (owner) and staff. The classes are a great workout but just as important Zach engages directly with students, encouraging and refocusing students when necessary. I've been blown away by what I consider the best instructional/sporting atmosphere in Brighton.

Our son has gone twice now, and LOVES it. I've not seen him so engaged and interested in any other activity. Zach (the owner) has an extremely engaging and friendly personality, with an abundance of passion for what he does, and these were both plainly evident when I hung out to observe my son's first "real" class. I know nothing about martial arts, but I know I like what I saw from the facility, the staff, and the response from our son, so I'm supremely impressed thus far!

We tried out a couple different programs around Brighton and this one blew us away. Our son has never been so focused and motivated. The owner and instructors are AMAZING with the kids. Give it a try and I'm sure you'll be impressed.
