Came in from out of town for the holidays and wanted to continue training in BJJ while I was home…read more I went here with 2 of my friends who had never done BJJ who wanted to try it out. The facility is very spacious. There's a main training area and then another smaller room with mats and workout equipment for other classes or free rolling. The place is also extremely clean and the vibe is great. If you've been to a martial arts academy with a bad vibe you will know what I mean, but this place is nothing but positive. The woman at the front desk was very helpful and got us situated with a 10 day trial and my friends with rental gi's. We were then greeted by the head coach John Ingallina who is the embodiment of a professional. He is extremely welcoming, kind, professional, and explained the whole Gracie Combatives system to us. During class he was great at explaining the techniques being taught, and made good work of going to each person and ensuring they did it right. As an out of towner I was completely welcomed by the staff and other class members. I 100% would recommend this, and have done so to my 2 friends who I am very close to.

The team/instructors do a thorough job to ensure that even first timers starting out their jiu jitsu journey are welcomed with open arms.

There's no hiding it, I'm a nerd. In fact, for most of my high school life, I was a very heavy and…read moreborderline obese nerd, prior to the current firefighter status nerd most of you know. This place was a key point of my life in turning that around. What I lacked in confidence, fitness, and just about everything, this place started building in me from the ground up. My mother bought me a karate membership and it went from there. Not only is this place an amazing place to learn Karate, Kung Fu, Jiu Jitsu, Kick Boxing, Womens Self Defense or Kendo now, but it's a great place to build self esteem. TRULY build it. Not from people telling you you CAN do something, but they will build you to the point that you DO do it. On top of all of the martial arts they also have a gym, which, while it doesn't have everything that a building dedicated to being just a gym has, it has more enough to help you achieve your goals. I came here for only 2 and a half years, and in that time they built my confidence, my body form, and my skills as a martial artist. If you're looking for a place to learn a martial art, I will HIGHLY recommend this place. They have different teaching methods than other Dojo's I've seen around and staff who truly care about what their teaching. To everybody working here, this isn't a job for them, it's a passion.

It started with a Birthday and continues with a membership...I've gone to visit many schools and…read morehave participated in martial arts about a quarter of my life so I know a good school when I see one. Curt and his staff are great with kids. My daughter showed an interest in martial arts after getting hooked to power rangers. We scheduled a birthday with Samurai after looking at other schools with extremely over priced birthday packages and or needing to be a member first. Not only did they welcome our birthday they went above and beyond. I would like to review the birthday and membership separately Birthday - First they offered to dress one of the employees as a power ranger for us, which was great. They advertised a large pizza but actually ordered a Sheet, the set up was great and everything was planned out perfectly and the kids did not become disorderly because they were constantly being engaged with 1 of the 3 Sensei's on hand. I highly recommend anyone looking to do a Karate Birthday to pick Samurai Martial Arts. Membership - From the birthday we got a special Boards and Belts class, At the class my daughter was able to demo a full blown session and break a board with the other white belts, shes a quick learner and loved it. We signed her up for a 1 month promotion which was fairly priced, included the Gi, instruction handbook and unlimited classes for the first month. My daughter took that month and ran with it, we are now in our second month and since she used almost every available while class has already gotten her 3rd yellow stripe. We loved it so much that we signed her up to the 3 year Masters Club, which is a lot like the original promotion but it gave her an extra uniform, patches and unlimited classes. Shes only 6 years old but has shown such initiative and likes to attend all 4 classes each week instead of the recommended 3. Again I cannot say enough good things about this Dojo, not only do they focus on Isshin Ryu Karate, but they also have Wing Chung, Pilates, Kickboxing Cardio and even a Gym with treadmills (All that is missing is a pool and you have the total package) Thanks Samurai for helping our daughter reach her true potential -Sal

Stripes and belts are earned, not expected to go by a schedule. They have a great work ethic and want committed students to work hard and learn the various moves correctly, for everyone's safety.

I can't believe this place has any positive reviews. The only reason I'm posting this negative…read morereview is in hopes that the only will fix these issues. Here's a brief list of why this place isn't great: 1. It's dirty. The ceiling fans are caked full of dust. Nothing like those blowing on you while you're breathing heavy from a workout.  2. Equipment is awful and old. Aside from leather coverings on benches and machines being ripped (and occasionally patched with duct tape or simply covered with a microfiber towel), half of the machines pose a safety hazard. Cables are frayed, weights are cracked, and things are just old. And if something is broken? No problem, they just put an 'Out of Order' sign on it. No fixing here! Hoping this place has good insurance because it's only a matter of time until someone gets seriously injured.  3. They charge the same as LA Fitness, and LA Fitness has brand new facilities, brand new equipment, locker rooms, showers, and more. Even Planet Fitness blows this place out of the water for a fraction of the cost. 4. Want to watch TV while on a treadmill? Nope. There are old TV's on the wall, but the owner cancelled cable. I guess starring at the black screen is good focus. 5. Extra equipment in the basement? Sweet. Smells like mold and feels like you're infecting your lungs while down there? Double sweet. So why do people go here? Probably because they have to. It's the only decent sized gym in LeRoy. There IS a nice Crossfit room here, but it's usually occupied by Crossfit classes, so good luck getting in there to use the upgraded equipment as a regular gym member. The only positive this place has going for it is the 24/7 access that you get. You can literally go anytime, any day. So good job there.  To the owner: if you do one thing, invest in equipment. The safety hazard should be your greatest concern here. If you don't want to invest back into the business, sell it.
