    Professor Jerry was incredibly easy to talk to, super welcoming, and explained things in a way that made total sense as a first-timer.

All four of us my…read more2 girls, my husband, and myself are part of the Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu family, and it's been an incredible experience for each of us. From day one, the customer service has been top-notch. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and genuinely feels like a community. What stands out the most is that they welcome everyone there's no discrimination here. No matter your age, background, or personal circumstances, health condition etc. you're treated with respect and encouraged to grow. My girls are learning so much beyond self-defense. They're building discipline, confidence, courage, respect, and strong character. As a parent, that means everything. The instructors are exceptional highly skilled, patient, and truly invested in every student's progress. You can tell they care. The owner leads with kindness and creates a culture that pushes you to become the best version of yourself while still feeling supported every step of the way. This place is not just about learning jiu-jitsu it's about growth, empowerment, and becoming stronger mentally and physically. The place is extremely clean. If you're thinking about it, don't hesitate go sign yourself up. You won't regret it. And on top of everything, the pricing is extremely affordable for the value you receive.I wish I could give more than 5 starts because 5 starts isn't enough. Thank you Guerrilla jiujitsu.

They have an extremely clean facility, and all the instructors and practitioners are committed to helping you elevate your health and martial arts goals.

You'll catch on easy of which instructors genuinely care about your growth. However, in-terms of experience & background - every instructor is absolutely legit. And I do believe it's the best gym around. During open gym hours - gym is closed 60-70% of the time which is incredibly frustrating since some people want to put in that extra work to really get better; plus paying them $180/month so I try to maximize my use of the gym itself. Not sure if it's a staffing issue but I probably have been turned away 50+ times thus far, quite frankly, it sucks. Can't have open gym hours if you're not open. Hopefully they improve at the new facility.

From day one, they made me feel welcomed, encouraged, and capable--no matter my fitness level. The coaching is top-notch: they pay attention, help with form, push you when you need it, and support you when you don't think you can keep going. The community is just as amazing. Everyone is supportive, motivating, and genuinely happy to see you succeed. This isn't just a CrossFit gym--it's a place that helps you build confidence, discipline, and a better version of yourself 100%. If you're on the fence, stop thinking and just show up. It worked for me, and it can work for you too

I can not say enough good things about this place. Sifu Bobby is awesome. The kids respect him so much. The whole family is involved in teaching the classes and they are all amazing. Everyone here has oodles of patience, is kind and great at teaching the kids. I appreciate the discipline and the monthly lessons my boys learn during their karate. I also appreciate that a mix of martial arts is taught here. So glad we found this place!

The role models, guidance and expertise from all of the instructors are beyond exceptional and inspirational. The confidence and respect that they teach each individual child is so priceless. We have been going to this school since my kids were five years old and now beyond honored that my daughter had received her first-degree black belt, and my son is working towards his. This school I feel should be a must for all kids. They teach skills that I would never be able to teach my children and I feel beyond blessed to know that the skills they are learning will keep them safe and aware in the future. We are so greatful we found this school. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!

    Kung Fu Kids is a great place to learn confidence and growth through Kung Fu as a teaching medium…read more Simply put, Kung Fu looks awesome and the kids all seem to pick up on the energy and excitement. Then using that as an opportunity to mentor and inspire students about how to use it in real life is a true win-win. Seeing the kids inspired also inspire me to get more physically fit for my day-to-day life. I took some of the exercises and stretching lessons and use it for my self and saw considerable improvements. Case in point, before being introduced to Kung Fu, I average my mile run around 13 minutes, but now I am sub-10 minutes. So long as you and your child is goal oriented, your child will grow!

    While a refund was processed, I'm hesitant to give a higher review because 1) I was contacted…read moreimmediately after the refund was processed and asked to update my review or to remove it -- pretty sure this is not aligned with Yelp policies, 2) the company failed to act until I posted this review; prior to this, they ignored my complaints so we can imagine the number of other families who fell into the trap and did not get a refund, 3) they are using employees or associates to post fake 5 star reviews to compensate for the lower, authentic reviews, which also is in violation of Yelp polices. A few have been removed already. Overall, with practices like this, you should be wary of enrolling your child. There are many other upstanding businesses in the area. Edit: Update in response to Jade's response to this review. I just don't understand this back and forth, and now I'm learning that this company uses virtual concierges from another country to communicate with clients (see photo). This is why the customer service felt so odd. They are outsourcing customer engagement to someone who isn't in this country and doesn't know what is going on with the business at a local level.
