Shane Medine
"Great staff of coaches at Blacklist. Through their tutelage of jujitsu skills and discipline our two girls are excelling in more than just the sport. I would urge people of any age or gender to check out Blacklist!"
Erika G.
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – A Life-Changing Experience for Kids! We are so grateful for Blacklist Martial Arts and especially for Coach Brad, who teaches jujutsu with genuine heart and passion. He recently updated the curriculum to better serve the children, and it’s clear that every change was made with their growth in mind. Even in just a short time, we can already see a positive difference in our child—more confidence, better focus, increased respect, and a growing sense of responsibility. Coach Brad is not just teaching martial arts; he’s helping build strong character and life skills that will benefit kids far beyond the mat. This program supports children physically, emotionally, and mentally, guiding them through the values of discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and self-control in a way that’s both fun and empowering. If you’re looking for a martial arts school that truly cares about your child’s development, we highly recommend Blacklist Martial Arts. Thank you, Coach Brad, for the incredible impact you’re making!"
Katie Huffaker
"All three of my kids have attended Blacklist for many years. The skills they’ve learned are invaluable and will have lasting positive impact on their lives. It’s so much more than just martial arts—it’s fitness, friends, community. Each of them has learned how to push themselves and do things they didn’t think they could."
Gracie Detiveaux
"We absolutely love Blacklist. Our kids have been there almost a year and have learned so much. I'm so thankful that they will be able to defend themselves if ever they may need it. Great encouraging environment. Thankful to all the coaches!"
