What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Cassi Van Ravenhorst
"We have absolutely LOVED our experience at Resilience Martial Arts from day 1. We started bringing our kindergarten son to help him learn self-control/self-discipline, get energy out/be active and to have sensory input/deep pressure. Danielle is so warm and welcoming and helpful and Coach Alexander (and all the coaches) are so patient, kind and amazing with kids! Our son asks to go and always looks forward to it. We read the Way of the Warrior Kid books and the main character Marc does Jujitsu and this was highly motivating for our son to want to do it as well. We also love the different "chapters" of the year and the positive character traits they instill. Not only has our experience improved physical health but also character within our son and we are so grateful! Highly recommend Resilience Martial Arts."

"We love the experience at Resilience Martial Arts. The atmosphere is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the facility is always spotless. Coach Alexander and his family are supportive and make you feel like you’re part of their family from day one. Whether you're new to martial arts or have experience, they offer a great variety of classes including boxing, jiu-jitsu, and grappling. It's a place where everyone can grow and feel comfortable."
Collin Rongstad
"Hello my nephew Elliot loves attending Resilience Martial Arts! I genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere and the jiujitsu facilitators positive energy. It seems like a great environment to learn self discipline, teamwork, body awareness and exercises improving the kids physicality. They provide a fun way to harness the knowledge of jiujitsu at the beginners level. I'd highly recommend Resilience for all ages and different levels of difficulty!"
Ana Taylor
"Amazing Gracie school! Alexander and Danielle are wonderful instructors that really have a passion for and thorough knowledge of what they teach. They are so kind and welcoming - making you feel at ease and comfortable, especially if it’s your first time on the mat! Fellow classmates are kind, respectful and encouraging which is a direct result of the atmosphere Alex and Danielle create here. Give Resilience a try, you don’t be disappointed!"
