What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Adam U

"Awesome school with a great instructor. Troy Is very engaging with the kids and his teaching style makes it fun even when its tough. The style gives a great mix of traditional karate and practical street smart self defense. Combine that with an awesome BJJ program and it's an amazing value. I scouted several local schools to find the one right for my kids and almost 3 years later I'm still confident this is the best choice around. The success at tournaments speaks for itself, but how much my kids love it tells me more."

Mary Weyand

"Just started here after the new year and already love it! There’s a good mix of skill levels and genders on the mats. You can see the family vibe immediately. The instructors are great and very helpful. I’d highly recommend if you were ever even thinking about giving it a try to come in, it’ll totally be worth it and you’ll be hooked!"

Bre Defelice

"Self defense is not just technique but a life style. If you’re thinking of trying out a class, you should! We are not just a team but a family. The instructors take pride in making sure women are treated with respect and taught properly. All ages are welcome. You’ll gain confidence and self control. There has never been a better time then now!"
