    My kids questioned my sanity for starting Krav Maga at 80 years of age... But the experience has…read morebeen fantastic. Coach Britt takes the time to thoroughly explain and demonstrate the techniques. My fellow students are more of a community, supporting each other to the max. Interspersed with the physical and mental training is the camaraderie (and in my case teasing... as the "Old Man" it comes with the territory) associated with being part of a team. The sessions include adults of all ages and experience levels, so no one feels awkward; you immediately are welcomed into the fold.

    Been training here for three years and so far I'm very satisfied with the level of instruction and…read morefull schedule of classes available. I started with BJJ, but soon added Krav Maga and Muay Thai. Every now and then I'll do MMA for fun. This gym feels like a second home and it honestly keeps getting better. On top of having an even balance of gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, no gi, and striking classes, they've recently added judo and fitness classes. The overall environment is very chill and welcoming to everyone. It's definitely not a roided out tap out bro gym. Also, unlike some gyms I've attended, there's no prejudice against other BJJ lineages. Cross training with other BJJ gyms is welcomed and encouraged, as are visiting BJJ practitioners from anywhere. Since signing up three years ago, I've never had any billing or payment issues. I'm suspicious of reviewers who say they have. I've attended and paid for a number of martial arts and fitness type gyms and the policies at Soulcraft are the same ones you'll find at most other well run gyms. In my experience, they've actually been very reasonable. When an injury forced me to stop training for a month, I explained my situation and was not charged for a month. My main reason for writing this review was to share updated photos of the gym facilities. The photos on yelp were pretty old and the gym has changed a lot since then.

    Profit above Quality every time…read more The Amity location of WC TKD is below poor. if I could have chosen no stars, I would. I brought my child there 2.5 years ago. During that time, they have "lost" him twice (the first time he flagged down a stranger on the sidewalk and asked to use his phone to call me.) He has broken his arm. And still, they flag me down on the sidewalk asking for additional fees for equipment, belt advancements, tournaments, and more. Once you child advances to black belt protest, classes are Available only three times per week - and the Saturday morning class is frequently cancelled so they can hold more profitable sessions. So, be prepared to move everything else in your life to accommodate their whims. Parents are not permitted to stay inside the dojo during classes, (so god knows what, if anything good, your child is learning for $250 per month plus extra fees), relegating you to sitting in your car for a 40 minutes session, or shopping at one of the filthy stores in this strip center. Training is "get them through," style, with no character or learning around the craft itself. "Masters" are high school and college students who function without leadership and just try to get commissions for extra charges. No one should take their children here. I am perpetually sorry I stayed as long as I did.

    I love all of the masters and instructors there!! Everyone is very nice and helpful when it comes…read moreto learning the martial art. If you want to become flexible, I would highly recommend joining this location.
