"Been dropping in when I'm in the area for work. Great instruction, friendly crew and tough but technical rolls. Highly recommend!"

"Amazing spot with the greatest teachers, they have a sense of humor but also are keen to teach and always help and explain things thoroughly. Would recommend!"

"We have been coming here for almost 7 months. My son is 6 and the amount of growth I have seen is amazing! TRUST the process…and DO NOT interfere with the Process! The dojo/gym fosters a sense of community and structure. The children’s class has been growing, but despite the growth they always have an adequate amount of instructors and ALL children get attention. Honestly even if there were only 1 instructor to train the class ALL instructors have such excellent classroom management skills it could be done with just 1 instructor. They will hold children to a high standard of conduct but there is a great mix of accountability and support and care. ALL staff are nice and respectful and not only extend that to the children but to the parents as well. The exercises and drills look challenging for an adult to do but the children learn and get great form. They also help and encourage each other to learn. Bullying and poor conduct is not tolerated by any instructor. They do a good job of thinking out of the box and pairing children up with different skilled students to enrich everyone’s learning experience They offer private sessions for a fee. My little guy makes sure we are on time for his 1:1 on Saturday mornings! I have nothing to compare to with prices but will say this you get what you pay for. Your child is exercising and learning essential life skills, conflict resolution, and safety skills 6 hrs a week! I’ve had a chance to observe the Saturday adult sessions while my little guy is doing his private lessons and my assessment is that it is high quality. I would recommend it to an adult or parent interested in their child learning. You get more than what you sign up for. I would take lightly the less positive reviews. The facility is super clean I see them clean it all the time! I haven’t encountered any poor attitudes…..but…. these instructors are working crazy hours teaching adults and children ALL day 6 days a week between 2 locations consistently with a calm positive attitude. Did you catch them on an off day? (I haven’t) Were you trying to nickel and dime the price? Was your attitude off putting ? Idk I’m not casting any stones at those who didn’t express an ideal experience but I’ve consistently had a good experience for the last 7 months and my husband who is a tough nut to crack and he loves this place!"
