This place has been the single most influential part of my son's life the last 3 years. As a…read moresingle mother, I am always looking extracurricular activities for my boys. Specifically ones who are positive outside influences who can not only be fun for the boys, but ones that can give them life lessons and reinforce my goals as a parent. Since my son has been taking classes here, he has learned confidence, stayed physically fit and become stronger, learned self-discipline and self-defense, made amazing friends, has overcome failures and come back stronger, and has goals of becoming a business owner and owing his own martial arts school. I don't exaggerate when I say this place has been life changing for both my son and myself and I am forever grateful. Champion Martial Arts is not just a karate school, they are family and have helped me raise my son into the respectful, goal oriented, kind, strong, resilient, confident, young man he is.

These are the nicest, most welcoming folks ever. I wanted to take Krav for years ... but found…read moreevery reason not to. Figured I'd look like a dork, wasn't fit enough, old gym injuries would slow me down, and more. Finally scheduled a class and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The people are very friendly and they'll get you started no matter what level you're at. You won't regret visiting!

My son has been training at Midtown Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu for over a year in the kids' classes…read more Josh (the owner) and all his instructors are awesome with the kids. It has really improved my son's confidence and coordination, and it's a relief to know he's able to defend himself if need be. The kids' classes are both krav maga and bjj (they have classes 4 evenings a week, with a gi two days, without a gi the other two), so they get grappling and striking experience. After his first class, my son said he enjoyed it and would like to come back. A year later, he has a 6 foot tall grappling dummy, a punching bag, mats for grappling in the living room, and he told me when he grows up he wants to own a krav/bjj gym. So I recommend Midtown Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking for a positive, practical way for their kids to learn self defense and maybe find a new obsession.

The real deal. Master Ra knows what he is doing and genuinely cares for his students.read more

Since my son joined Team RA Martial Arts 6 months ago, I've noticed a tremendous growth in his…read moreself-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline, consideration of others, and, of course, his fitness. Most importantly, though, he LOVES it. He would spend everyday with his teammates and instructors if he could. Taking part in Team RA has made a huge difference for him, and we hope to be a part of this group for years to come. If you're thinking about it, you should definitely give it a try!

I had a similar experience to some of the one star reviews. I was promised that even though I was…read moresigning a year contract I could pause or cancel depending on the circumstances. I asked to pause for a while for legitimate reasons, but was denied. I attended for 8 months, paid for 4 I was unable to attend, then they charged me for an additional month. They tried explaining it to me that they needed to charge me on the first and the last of the month, but I guess it wasn't registering for me why I had to pay 13 payments for a 12 month contract. Very shady. And very rude and dismissive when I brought it up, not even trying to look into or understand the situation. I didn't make this a one star review because I really loved the instructors and my time there. It's honestly a shame. I had no idea other people were having the same experience, this can't be legal. I feel like they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit for no reason.

This will be a short review - primarily for the owner, Brooke…read more I live in Fort Lauderdale and was in search of a boxing gym. I was going to be in Memphis over the Christmas holidays and sent an email. Received a response from Brooke the same day encouraging me to drop in. Wanted to ensure that I created the proper approach, so I asked about the cost to attend a few drop-in classes while in town. She provided information on Bot's Boxing which operates from the same building at Memphis Judo. Brooke was very welcoming and instead of payment, asked for a review of their facility, instructors and the environment. My 5 Star rating speaks for itself, and i look forward to returning to the business when I'm in Memphis again.
