Student Testimonials

“Me and my husband visited this academy from VA. We felt very welcomed by both students and Professor Yamasaki. The instruction was top notch. Professor spent one-on-one time with us while drilling the technique. I had a shoulder injury. He was caring and made sure that students were aware of it while rolling with me. I highly recommend this place whether you are visiting or looking for an academy to join.”

“Everything is fine and dandy till you want to cancel your membership then they will throw all kinds of costs and procedure to make it as difficult as possible. It does not matter we have been a member for 7 years. They are trying to get the last few dollars out of you. Their website says you can cancel at any time but what they actually mean is that you can cancel but you are still liable for the full year of membership, unlike any other gym we have ever been a member of, very deceptive business practice.”

“I have trained at a few schools. This is by far the best. High level instructors and great people. My 6 year old daughter just started. She loves Yamasaki. She loves the instructors and team mates. I drive 45 min to get here. Its worth every second of the drive PLUS I get to spend more time with my daughter.”

“The instructors are great with kids. Our experience is still great. My son now knows the basics on how to defend himself from a bully if that ever happens. A sense of security.”
