Jason Duncan
"Outstanding coaches! They take the time to make your feel welcome and comfortable with the movements. Great group of people to learn and workout with."
Marie Eliza Cordero-Brown
"The environment is friendly. I like how they have open mats after class. There’s always someone there willing to drill and learn a technique or move you’ve been wanting to learn. There is a wide range of people, from white to black belts. Would train here again when I come back to visit!"
