I walked in here a total stranger, new to the area. I was looking for a place for both me and my…read morekids to train. Upon opening the door and walking in everyone looked at me and my kids and immediately knew we were unknown strangers. No one screamed stranger danger. Instead we were greeted by the warmest group of people I could have ever wished I met. I knew right away I was in the right spot. Alex, the owner came over and said hi. Mario, the kids instructor, introduced himself and asked the kids if they wanted to join a class. He makes it a point to know every child's name. He remembered both my kids names the next time we went. They love him and talk about him all the time! Shoes and socks came off quicker than you could imagine and before I knew it I felt I had been going here for years. Everyone was talking to me, introducing themselves and telling me how great the place was and how much their kids love it. My kids were treated like they were regulars and had smiles from ear to ear. At the end of the class they asked me when they could come back again. The instructors make the kids class not only a learning experience but they make it so much fun for the kids they can't help but want more. I'm looking forward to my first class and watching my kids grow here along with all the other kids. I highly recommend this family friendly place. Of course Alex was just amazing.

My 6 year old son started BJJ with Pat over the summer and I joined a month later…read more For my 6 year old, Pat keep things interesting at the gym, always teaching new techniques each week, his teaching instructions are clear and simple for a 6 year old to follow. Pat is friendly but yet instills discipline with the kids and most importantly, he keeps it fun. My son really enjoys the classes with Pat, he looks forward to going to class, whereas in the past with a different martial art, he dreaded and hated it. He takes a lot of pride in it when we talk about what he did in class with my wife. Too bad our schedule only permits 2 days a week, he would enjoy going more often had our schedule permitted. And the best part about BJJ is that it's very effective to defend himself from bullies without needing to hurt anyone should one day he needs to. For myself, everyone welcomed me with open arms on my first class. I'm in my early 40's so I'm a bit out of shape, but the guys at the gym are very encouraging and friendly. Can't say enough about Pat and his gym.

He was allowed two free try out classes before we had to commit. He initially did not want to participate, but the instructors gently coaxed him into it. My son loves the instructors (Masters Freeman and Mehrtens). They are laid back, nice guys. They and the other instructors are great with little kids, kidding around with them, but at the same time commanding respect and attention to detail. I highly recommend SMA for little kids, boys and girls alike.
