I emailed Mickey to see if I could attend a few classes, and he invited me to come by. I've been training jiu-jitsu for years, mostly in southern California, and have been lucky enough to train with some great jiu-jiteiros. I really enjoyed the positive atmosphere at Chattanooga Jiu-jitsu Academy. Mickey is affiliated with Ryron and Rener Gracie, the grandchildren of Grandmaster Helio Gracie, who pioneered jiu-jitsu in Brazil. The Gracie brothers are some of the best in the world when it comes to teaching technique, especially from a fundamental level. Mickey does an excellent job of representing them. I had a wonderful time training with Mickey and his students, and am very thankful for their hospitality. If you are in the greater Chattanooga area I would highly suggest checking it out.

Great Teacher, Great Studio and Family Fun!…read more Mr. Thornton is a really good martial arts instructor. He is a 7th degree black belt and 8 time world champion with many lessons to share. He is fun to spar with and learn from. He has a good sense of humor and makes you feel like family. Mrs. Thornton is a 5th degree black belt and is also a fun instructor to learn from. She has a playful sense of humor and is very knowledgeable. She also runs the Little Ranger program for the kids under 5 years of age. In my opinion this is one of the best gifts you can give your children. It's not all about just fighting, but also learning perseverance and discipline, while also boosting confidence. We should all want our kids to have the best tools to navigate this life. If you've been thinking of getting your kids or yourself into martial arts, this would be a great place to come. They also give a free trail week if you want to see if this is for you.

Jessie and his wife Joy have dedicated their life to teaching TKD in the community and if you are a parent of a kid looking for a great place to teach them some discipline and get great exercise, this is the place.

There is no better gift that you can give your kids than the lessons that will be learned here at UKS Ringgold,

I gave the review a 3 star (and nothing lower) because we love this place, and didn't want it to get a low rating on only one issue, but to be called a liar, by the owner, is unacceptable. What I and others saw, on that week, is factual, and stayed for a few days. And to have it dismissed and have my integrity called into question, by the owner, is unbelievably unprofessional. This was not a "revenge post" as you seem to be alluding to, this happened. I will not and am not putting down a great place, just because and I won't stoop to that level now, even though you called me a liar. I simply posted about an issue, that happened. We have been back since, and it hasn't been an issue, BUT to pretend what we experienced that trip, didn't happen, is unacceptable.

We scheduled with TANYA CAREW out of the Cumming Aquatic Center. Our child had 9 lessons before Tanya stopped showing up. On what was supposed to be day 10, she sent 6 kids home because the capillary refill at the heel was too slow meaning they were too cold and couldn't stay in the pool. The next day she text after our child's lesson was supposed to have started and said she was cancelling lessons because "they are having lessons today". Odd, as I know there are supposed to be lessons... my kid has one scheduled. She is double booking her time. I asked about make up lessons. No response. The very next day she no call no showed. Parents & their kids were showing up all morning and being told no one had seen the instructor. The next day of lessons, a text came in mid-morning saying she wasn't feeling well. At this point we are just getting scammed. ISR has been contacted and we requested a refund but each instructor is an independent contractor so their hands are tied. They can't do anything. TANYA CAREW finally answered us 5 days later saying ISR has a strict no refund policy and she wouldn't be refunding us. She again gave no options for rescheduling, making up lessons missed or refunding us for the time our child wasn't in the pool. She referred us to a different instructor and stated she wouldn't be paying her either so we would have to fork out another $1,000 to get our child started with them. I have heard positive feedback from other co workers and parents who put their children through ISR in Buckhead but I would steer very clear of Tanya and Cumming.
