They are more responsible, respectful and actually seem to be generally in a better mood most of the time. The staff is terrific, making sure the homework gets done every day and giving them the opportunity to get great exercise along with the valuable lessons of discipline and respect.

My kid who is five years old attended here for a few weeks at the end of last year. I signed up for…read morea month after the free initial classes. I clarifed that my kid has special needs, would they still be able to acomadte us in the classes. I was told and reassured by the lady at the reception that the instructor is great and they would be able to accommodate, "it wouldn't be a problem." It didn't go well the instructor didn't have any patience. The last class we attended, the instructor sent my kid out of the class, in front of the students and parents calling her a, "trouble maker". When I spoke to the instructor about my kid, he told me that he was not aware of my kid having special needs. The lack of communication between staff members was appalling. One of the observations I made, they seem to want to prefer cookie cutter students. Those who aren't don't seem to get the same attention as the others, "it doesn't seems your child wants to be here." Was a comment made to me by the instructor. Most of the time there were 6-8 students with just one instructor. We really wanted to be able to like this dojo and be part of their team. Before moving to the area my kid did attend a different Dojo. Our experience was completely different from here. Improvements that could be made is deffinatley better communications between staff members. If there are more than five students an assistant seems logical. Having an instructor or assistant that has professional experience working with kids. This should be a must!! if there is a class for kids around five years old. Our previous Dojo offered free classes to a local kindergarten teachers assistant in exchange to come and assist in the lessons.

He really challenges children in their own individual way. He understands their weaknesses or struggles and works hard and helping them. Very dedicated instructor who knows what he's doing and knows how to get the most out of his students to meet their full potential. My son looks forward to every session and Ron keeps him engaged and challenged with a wide variety of different activities and exercises. Ron has been beyond accommodating and is great with kids.

I can't say enough good things about this studio. My 7yo son has been practicing tae kwon do with…read moreInstructor Ron for about a year, and I've seen such an improvement in his focus and discipline. Ron is amazing with kids; he commands respect but is not mean. Then I started taking his adult cardio kickboxing class, and it has changed my life. I work full-time with two kids, so although I've always loved working out, I haven't had the energy over the last few years. This workout is so much fun and feels so REAL. I look forward to going and have gotten strong again really quickly. Kicking and punching the bag give me energy I've never felt before, even running marathons (in the distant past). When I haven't gone in a few days, I feel the need to do push-ups at home (?!). Just as with the kids, Ron knows exactly how much to challenge us without making us feel bad about ourselves. Plus it doubles as a self-defense class. It's empowering and affordable. I can't wait to get back to the mat.

It is about being connected and developing awareness as our inner strength, not to defend, but to assist us in becoming truly who we are.

The experience is the lesson.

Mind you, some of the coaches are absolute sweethearts and I hate to bundle the good with the bad, but unfortunately this Was my experience. They threw my sneakers in the garbage, another time they hid my gloves and water bottle and did not return it until a month later. I tried not to jump to conclusions, and figured I just miss placed some of my items but after they had returned it to me I was very sure one or two of the instructors had taken my items. A lot of hostility and intimidation was present for absolutely no reason. Wasn't sure if I unintentionally stepped on someones toes. It came to the point were I had to choose to forfeit the lessons as not to have to deal with this type of behavior anymore after a recent injury . Signed up for Kyokushin classes in the city and left this nonsense behind. Nothing more then bullies with a belt. Beware.

Who would've thought that a child of then 5 would have such a rough year for their first real school experience with bullying. My son did, and it was really affecting his behavior in school and then eventually at home. I knew that he needed a positive place to release the stress a young 5 year old can feel. Within 3 months I've noticed such a big change in his behavior, he was walking around with a smile and less aggravated to attend school. He is in his 8th month this December and in first grade now and I no longer pick up an angry child from school. He is more confident, self assured and although it has gotten tougher for him he has stuck it through and made some friends he can hopefully build long lasting relationships with. What makes this place great besides the beautiful space and well kept dojo and bathrooms are the Senseis. Both Sensei Luis and Sensei Rahul are amazing with the kids. Disciple, structure and respect will be learned here and they demand it. They are serious and tough on the young ones, pushing them to their full potential. And on the other hand they are very playful and loving and give the kids a break with occasional games when they are deserving. The children really show interest to be here, they are ready in line and excited. I have seen some amazing students that they have molded in this dojo and only hope that Noel will also follow their footsteps. Glad to be apart of the BX Martial Arts family. I truly am grateful for my sons Senseis and have an immense amount of respect and love for what they do for our children. Keep it up!
