Hermann Amador
"Amazing School for all ages. My son is taking classes and I started with him as well to keep him inspired. I am competing at 44 years old. I cannot believe it. Excellent class routine where you will learn a new grappling technique every day, roll, stretch, do a specific exercise and gain much more than you expected."
JAY ALVA

"Honestly, from all of the reviews that are here. The reason they have a five-star is because they are friends with the instructor. The first class is FREE, but once you're locked in for a year, then it is a different story. My son is overweight, and he tried it for a few classes, but he couldn't get right doing the flipped. So he got frustrated and didn't want to do it anymore, He stopped going, and I continued paying the monthly fee of $180 besides the $200 for uniform and entry fee for the whole year of a total $2340. My year was up, but they need a "written notification " of cancelation within 30 days after the year is up. My wife told me to cancel the card from the beginning, but I like an honest person, I say no because it's a contract. So now I'm being charged $410 for fees and 2 more months because I didn't cancel it correctly, Now the whole point of martial art is that a sense must care about the students not care about money. I gave them over $2,400 of my money because I was honest or stupid ?! If anybody plans to sign up for this, make sure that your son can do a flip on his own and read all the cancelation comments. Also, don't forget the 30-day notice. Otherwise, they'll keep charging you."
