What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Travis Miller
"We’ve had an amazing experience with Kyoshi this year! He’s fantastic with kids—he knows how to keep them engaged, focused, and disciplined, while still creating a fun environment where they can laugh and enjoy learning. My son has grown so much in both skill and confidence thanks to Kyoshi’s teaching. We highly recommend his dojo to anyone looking for a place where kids can thrive in Jiu Jitsu and have a great time doing it!"
Heather Riley
"Kyoshi Cheeseman is hands-down the best there is! He is patient with students of all ages and abilities. He starts teaching proper technique, skills, and terminology from day one. Both my my daughters have grown so much in their time with the dojo and I cannot wait to enroll my youngest as well. Pick this dojo as home!"
Sara Gibson
"My two girls (6 and 9) both attend classes with Kyoshi. They both absolutely love it and have learned so much! Kyoshi is fantastic with the kids and makes class fun. I love that he records the classes and posts on his Facebook page so I'm able to watch and see what they are learning in class. I even recently attended a special mother's day class with my girls so I was able to experience his class in person! It was so much fun learning with my girls and they really enjoyed helping to teach me what to do. I highly recommend Kyoshi's classes!"
Paul Dinkins
"I can’t say enough good things about Kyoshi and what he’s done for my daughter. Not only is she learning how to better defend herself each session but the greatest part is how it’s helped her grow as a person. Before starting my daughter was very shy and timid but now after nearly a year of training shes become so much more confident and outgoing. She‘s really come out her shell and the only thing I can attribute that to is this place. Phenomenal job Kyoshi! Keep doing Gods work. This community needs you. I have 2 more coming up after Laina! 😂🙏🏾"
