I have been taking classes as CS Kim for two years, and my brother has been a student since he was four years old and he is now fourteen. Both of us have valued our time spent at CS Kim and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in studying martial arts or wants to try something new. It's the perfect activity for people of all ages. The instructor, Master Kelly, has also made my experience at CS Kim very worthwhile. He is very personable, helpful and is willing to accommodate people with all different needs and I have nothing but respect for him. There are also student assistants there who are black belts that help during the classes and are also willing to work one on one with anyone who is looking for extra instruction. Once again, I would highly recommend this place and I think that self defense is something that everyone needs to be educated on no matter what age you are.

I have had the great pleasure of seeing my kids and wife mature in the martial arts discipline as their confidence levels grow. At a Program Level: The program is very well organized with each rank requirement clearly defined. The school facilities and equipment represent a significant investment and is very well done. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient (important). They clearly understand the mechanics behind the technique and have a positive encouraging way of teaching. Tiny Tigers: The Tiny Tigers program is focused on ages up to approximately 6 and provides a foundation for entry into the Family Class. It is fun and engaging. Our younger children really enjoy karate night. Family Class: This is a non-intimidating atmosphere with a wide spectrum of participant capabilities. Ages range from 65ish to 8. In addition to learning various martial arts techniques, the class provides an incentive for improving your physical aptitude. I personally can attest that my cardio and strength have significantly improved.

The mats, bags, gloves, equipment and entire locker room are all in such stunningly good condition that they look like they've never been used. All the students are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. All the coaches have the rare combination of advanced expertise, deep passion for martial arts and a constructive approach. They build up every sequence from the simplest movements to complex combinations to match each student's level of experience. More than anyone, this is true for the owner Josh Ryer who sets the culture and tone with his complete mastery of the curriculum and keen eye for perfection in every detail balanced with an easy going laugh and friendly laid back attitude. If you want fitness and fun combined with real world defense training, I hope to see you in class soon!

It has an upper level with a bar and cornhole setup. The lower level has a stage, another bar, and lots of tables. You are right on the river so you can dock your boat or relax by the water.

Paradise Island is an awesome spot whether you want to relax, be active, or just enjoy a summer night out. Always a go-to for me!

I've never been there where we needed all that space (I can't imagine how long that wait would be). the entrance has automatic gates that open and close when the train is ready to be boarded. You put your belongings in the holder on the exit side and then get in the car. There are two restraint systems. One small standard seatbelt and one lap bar. The seats themselves are on the smaller side, but will still fit plus size riders. The ride itself is exhilarating. The climb up the first hill gives you great views of the park and area (I liked seeing the giraffe's head poking out of Noah's Ark). MAKE SURE TO NOT PULL OUT YOUR PHONE ON THE LIFT HILL. They are very clear and very serious about the rules and yet people still break them every day which makes the train stop on the lift hill. The one down side is that the exit is at a completely different area than the entrance, so make sure you know that if you are meeting non riders. A must ride if you love coasters.

As a Yelp Elite All Star I noticed that the most current YELP review for this pool was a one star review based solely on what this person thought the price should be for entry for her & her kids & her comparison to North Park Pool. First off Cranberry Township Waterpark, offers more than just a pool. It has a very large kids area with large kiddie pool, water dump bucket, splash pad & preschool water sliding board. It has a dedicated lap swim lane at all times. It has a waterside, low diving board, water tunnel sliding board, water climbing wall, sand volleyball court, grassy play areas, concession stand with large variety of foods, drinks & desserts & bathrooms with showers & changing rooms. There are giant umbrellas for shade, and many lounge & some Adirondack chairs. You can get water wings, or life vests for your kids there if needed. This is not a county pool like North Park Pool. NPP is run by the county. Cranberry is run by the township (not Butler County) & managed & staffed by high school kids. YES, the prices ARE higher than Allegheny County & City pools: 2025 Daily Admission Rates Residents: $11 Non-Resident: $16 Children: 2 - 12 years old Resident:$10 Non-Resident: $14 Children under 2: FREE 55+ Senior Resident: $10 Non-Resident: $14 Twilight Rates (after 6 p.m.) Resident: $8 Non-Resident: $10 Tuesday Night Swims: 9-11 p.m. Members: FREE Non-Members: $8 But that gives ZERO reason to diss this beautiful waterpark & all it has to offer.
