They teach mixed arts, which also makes it fascinating. The class sizes are small so the teachers try to work with students on a one on one basis. David and everyone else I have encountered has been amazing! David works with each student and demonstrates and articulates all techniques well enough to help his students execute them. I highly recommend this place.

The co-ed class is a great class where I've always felt safe with and respected by all of members. Found our home away from home.

So far coaches have a different approach…read more We do not mind since we are not pushing our 2 years old for anything but have fun with her age group. But when she fell last week and the coach did not even bother to check on her was funny to say the least. It was a hard cry and she wont move her right arm. She was so guarded and wont stop crying the whole place can hear it. We decided to just go with our instinct and took her to ER where they diagnosed her with right elbow fracture. Yes it is not their responsibility. But in this kind of space, IMO coach should be train to evaluate situation and guide parents. Heck! I am not even expecting first aid but to at least evaluate situation lol All we got was a generic email that she will be missed and that they understand life gets busy and that they offer other classes. And pay extra 139$ once life not that busy anymore that we reenroll Lmao Of course! We had to hold off their auto monthly enrollment since we do not have an idea about how she would recuperate! Ortho peds soonest appointment is tomorrow, so a temporary splint is on. I was not gonna say anything , until i saw their email! That just blow me off! This place suddenly just feels like a joke!

I've never had an issue with American kids until just now. I have two of my kids in swim class…read moreright now and for the first time I forgot to pack towels. There wasn't enough time to drive home during class time to get them so I kindly asked the front desk if they by chance allow me to borrow one. They obviously have some for the employees here. The lady said "you can buy some" and pointed at the shelf where they were located. I'm sorry, but I find this inconsiderate. How can owners/managers not train employees to empathize with a parent in a situation like this. Especially when it's 50 degrees outside and even more when paying the money that is spent for tuition.
