Absolutely LOVED my experience here. Purchased a Groupon. 5 kickboxing classes for 45 minutes each and a 15-20 min one-one training to understand the basics and comes with one free tee that is required to be worn during classes. People were extremely friendly, encouraging, and supportive. Instructors remembers your name after one class and corrects your form if it's not accurate so you don't hurt yourself and teaches you how to kick/punch better. Even the students there were so helpful as it was my first time and was willing to spend a few minutes here and there to correct my form. Scheduling classes was easy as there is an app to shows the schedule of various classes. Also, the place is clean is because there are no shoes on the mats. One thing I didn't like was that there are no lockers in the changing room and it's just a place to change and store your belongings. However, it was safe to leave your belongings there as you are working out. Would love to go back again! read more

I was recently trying to rejoin the world of martial arts after a long time of being out of the loop. I had zero grappling experience and felt like Bjj was the absolute perfect art to fill said gap. I reached out via email and got a quick reply by voicemail and then by text. They were willing to answer all of my questions, even questions about the rates, contract, fees etc. They answered ALL of my questions AT the initial point of contact, which I very much appreciated and showed a stellar level of customer service on their part. So I showed up for my first introductory class, and as someone who's got plenty of experience in martial arts, I was looking for things that might be worth making note off: the equipment (such as the standing body-bags that the kickboxing class use for training) appeared to be in good shape, the mats weren't dusty or with any obvious debris and the place seemed generally to be very clean from the mats to the lockerrooms and bathroom. The instructers were all very kind to work with me and help me to develop my technique and understanding of what it is I'm getting myself into. It was a good class with great people, no doubt. The only thing I didn't like is the hard-sale strategy to sign the contract. That was why I couldn't continue, even though I really wanted to. Had I been presented with the contract differently, it's quite possible I'd be fully enrolled into my first month's classes right now. But they pitch HARD... for example, I wanted to take at LEAST two introductory classes before making a final decision, and I wanted to sleep on it. A 7 month contract (and that's just the ENTRY LEVEL contract which you are likely going to be asked to renew to a year contract in a few months once you're ready for advanced classes) is a big commitment when you're spending $219 a month, which they state is completely inflexible, regardless of income or situation and must be paid EVERY MONTH... no... matter... what... sick? Doesn't matter. Injured for under 6 months? Doesn't matter. You gotta pay). There are ways to get out of the contract, but ultimately, I was given the vibe of "but if you have an issue you will just call the company that handles our payments... they deal with that stuff" Still, this wasn't enough for me to rule me out. I still wanted it and could "kind of" afford it. The issue was that hard-sell. I am a salesman for a living and I can tell when someone is trying too hard to sell something. I see it everyday from my own coworkers and I respect them for it. Honestly I respect them for it here also. They need money. They are a business. It makes sense and there is nothing wrong whatsoever with that. The only issue though it is was the wrong approach for me and I felt like they should've felt my energy on that. I told them I was uncomfortable and wanted to take a second class and make a decision. Rather than saying something along the lines of "go... take the second class... and let me know what you think. If you need more time, that's okay. When you're ready, we'll be here and we'll be happy to have you as a part of the community "(what probably would've had me come back for AT LEAST a month trial). But what actually happened when I said this, is the gentleman seemed slightly disappointed and even slightly frustrated. He then replied, "... cool okay, but if you do this, I would REALLY need you to get back here right after so we can go over paperwork." It wasn't even subtle. It seemed too desperate. I kept replaying this in my mind, as a salesperson, thinking "man they really as desperate to get the sale..." I've seen it hundreds of times. The face when one of my collegues or even I can't close a sale... the emotion behind the reaction. It was all there and it was clear. No denying it. He wanted that paperwork SIGNED and I get why. It's a business, and businesses need money in order to operate. ... but I had to take a star for that... I was not comfortable and was even a little nervous specifically and only because the person working with me had too hard of a sales pitch. It made me decide that maybe this isn't the right choice for me right now and it unfortunately lead to me asking for cancellation before a single business day had passed. But on the plus side... these are all good people. They are trying to run a good business and have a good culture. I'd be happy to be a part of their community and would even recommend these guys if anyone asks. Everything seemed almost perfect about that place. The only thing that didn't work for me was the sales-pitch and the contract inflexibility. I probably woudln'tve noticed any of this stuff if I wasn't a salesperson myself so don't let my words make you look down on these guys. The world needs as much truth as possible these days, though which is why I had to write this review. Gave me some free gear, treated me with respect and gave me a good lesson; give em a shot read more

bay parkway location is a pinnacle of martial arts, discipline , respect and communal values . respect!

My son attends the Junior Karate program on Bay Parkway and he loves it...LOVES IT!!! I am so happy we found a new exercise regimen for him that teaches him how to better focus, have self-discipline and how to take care of his growing body.When he puts on his gi he transforms into a different person. More focused, not playing around and serious about what his is about to do. He pushes himself and tries hard to master every combination. The staff is very welcoming and it really feels like a family atmosphere. read more

Simliar to the reviews written in other locations, I felt this place was after your money using pressure sales and other tactics that aims at your self esteem. Four years ago I signed my brother up for classes here, I thought it was pretty nice and close to my house. Since he needed some exercise, what better way to join a martial arts school? Even though I was a broke college student I agreed to the $140/month for 6 months agreement, which is pretty expensive considering he's just a beginner 10 year old child and the place is not in manhattan. Things got sour within when they kept asking me to sign a one year extension. What followed was constant phone calls and voicing to my 10 year old little brother who I have to add has asperger. They would call me 2 times a day and harass my brother and I to sign up. I had told them it cost too much and it wasn't on my financial situation's best interest. Mr. Noto had the nerve to say, "so how did you have the money to sign up for 6 months?" I had to work harder and sacrifice other things, not that it was his business. When I got fed up, I told them they charge too much, he got mad and said they're committed to cleanliness. In my mind, they had better because all schools I've signed up for better be clean. The rest of the 5 months I had remaining was a horrible experience for my younger brother and I because they vowed not to teach him anything further if I had not signed the 1 year extension. I was also not happy that I wasn't told about the 2 week free trial until I signed up later. My brother was terrified everytime he went because the "professor" kept what he felt harassing him to extend for a good 5 months. He's now traumatized to go to any martial arts school. I regret leaving him in there for that long but it was a lot of money for me at that time and didn't want to waste it. To this day, they still call me and I have no interest in talking to them at all after what has happened. If you're experienced and want to train, I'm sure this place is awesome and worth the price. However if you're a rookie or your child/sibling is not that coordinated, then it's not a place for them to start off because the price is not worth it. read more

Great positive place ! Professor Noto, Mr. Crocilla, Mr. X, and the other intstructors keep tabs on me very week. It's a very personal touch and they are their to help you reach your goal, whatever belt itis that you are undertaking. It's physically demanding but never at any time do I feel like stopping, the suport base is incredible! Osss read more

I walk by this place almost everyday before i get on the bus. At first glance i thought it was pretty cool that they teach self defense and higher level of jiu-jitsu. Unfortunately i was unable to join because of my work schedule. My 12 year old cousin wanted to join so i paid for either $160 or $140/month for 6 months. I thought it was a good price for some reason. After the 6 months of payment my cousin didnt learn nothing at all and the master there keep calling my phone at least 2-3 times a day to for the 1 year extension. i keep saying no and i had to take actions in my on hands and basically block their number from calling me. i feel like it was a bunch of waste of time and my hard working money for my cousin to learn nothing. People with these 5 star reviews are just suck ups to their quote on quote masters. I dont recommend this place at all just put your children in karate classes instead it much cheaper. read more

I attended this school in 2008 and I have mixed feelings about my experience. It seems that my experience is similar to that of a few other reviewers. When I attended in 2008, there were two speeds, beginner and advanced. After about 40 beginner classes, I upgraded my membership to train with the advanced class. A beginner plus class would have been perfect. The conditioning drills alone were way too tough for me. A beginner plus class/intermediate would have been the next logical progression. I recommend this school if you are dedicated to 5X a week of training and can afford to pay $160 a month for two years. As far as Jiu-Jitsu training is concerned, it's the real deal. If you are a part-timer or can't afford to miss $160 from your account, do not go to this school. If you try to cancel, expect multiple phone calls and emails, and I mean multiple. This is neither a positive or a negative. It just is. Professor Noto was a purple belt at the time and I'm happy to see that he is now a brown belt. Professor Noto is an excellent instructor and trains just as hard, if not harder than he expects out of his students. It was a real treat when Shihan Dunn lead the class. Pros - You learn genuine Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu It's a great workout. Expect to drop some lbs. It's a fun, motivating environment Neutral - Two year commitment at $160 (could be more or less at this point) Cons - As of 2008/2009, only beginner and advanced classes You get hounded if you want to cancel. You get hounded after you cancel. Be prepared to call people 20 years your junior by Miss and Mister. read more

The staff are friendly and supportive. The kids program is awesome. The days of scaring a kid with a stick is done. Here they are taught skills and encouraged for great behavior and progress. As parents we ended signing up after our children took a month of classes. Family and fitness! After moving from Florida to New York and doing research this was a great find. read more

My son attends BBJJ for over a year now and it has become his second home. First signing him up, I walked in because it was conveniently close to my home and I always wanted him to exert his energy in sports rather than being attached to an iPad or TV. Martial arts is a great way to teach discipline for better school performance. BBJJ incorporates students school performance into the training by ensuring their students are getting good grades. Promotions to higher belt ranks are not only determined by their skill level, but also if they are performing well in school. This has kept my son in check and I am beyond grateful for that. Seeing my son train has inspired me to get on the mat myself. The instructors are thorough and push you to learn. BBJJ is a big family I'm happy to be apart of! read more

If you are looking to train at a martial arts academy where you have nothing but the upmost respect from your training Partners this is the place to go. No one is looking to beat you up, no one is looking to be better than you, but everyone is there to support you and help you grow into the best version of yourself on and off of the mat. When I first started training at Brooklyn Brazilian jiu-jitsu I went with the main goal of losing weight, not only did I get into the best shape of my life but I learned many skills to protect myself and those closest to me. The great thing about this school is that you will learn just as much off the mat than on the Mat, what I mean by this is the many life lessons that are gained through training jiu jitsu. The curriculum is great, the school is clean, and the training is safe what more can I say!?!?! Highly recommended read more

This school and Prof. Noto helped me be a better father, husband, son and all around person. The school is clean, well organized and professional. They emphasize self defense and teach it very well. The classes are nicely structured and they take care of you. I've taken their Leadership and a few seminars and they have all been very beneficial to me. No one is out to prove anything or kill you on the mat. It's like a family. Prof. Noto is a mentor to me. He cares about his students even the ones that have stopped coming for a while or the ones who have moved away. I moved away in 2011 and he still keeps in contact with me just to check up and say hi. He's got infectious energy and injects fun into his teaching. If I were in New York I wouldn't go to any other school. read more

My boyfriend was a student at BBJJ for a few years. I lived out of state and whenever I would visit I would always be welcomed to watch him train. The entire staff was always so friendly and accommodating. I was invited to participate in a free Women's self defense class. Women of all ages were welcomed and we all spent few hours learning how to protect ourselves. It was a great experience and I couldn't get over how nice and professional everyone was. The school itself is clean, very well maintained, and extremely inviting. Professor Noto makes the experience fun, safe, and exciting. If you feel hesitant about trying something new, don't be afraid to reach out and ask anyone questions. They will make you feel so comfortable! It's a great way to get into shape while learning how to feel safe!! My boyfriend and I moved to New Jersey and BBJJ will always be like a second home to us! read more

this is not the school where you go to become a cage fighter. This is a school where go to learn self defense, a good discipline, and a great way to better your body and your mind. Everyone is very friendly and you feel like your part of the family. Great for kids read more

Great place to train especially new comers, they are vary nice and understanding. They want the best for you not your money, if you're new to martial arts this is a great place to start. They also have an amazing kids program. read more

I have been practicing here for close to 5 years and I haven't really experienced any issues. If you want to take martial arts seriously, this school offers a curriculum where you can learn things to excel to the advance program. They tailor their teaching style to the student. The learning curve is different for everyone. There's fundamentals to learn and this school can break down each move in order to stem to the next. Try the introductory program. If you don't like it, you're not obligated to sign the contract. Like any institution, there's tuition or membership fee. Quirk - they have seminars where MMA fighters visit the school and teach the students. read more

I read all the negative reviews about this place, but I had a friend who enjoyed his experience here, so I decided to go for the trial month (which they give you for FREE along with a free uniform if you were recommended by a family member or friend). I'm going to write a somewhat long review because there are some negative ones written by people who didn't fully understand/go through with the program here. First off, I do have some previous experience with some other martial arts. However, many (or even most) traditional arts aren't very practical when it comes to street defense, unless you've been training for a minimum of approximately four years (give or take, depending on the art. Brazilian ju-jitsu is one of the most practical arts in terms of actual self-defense. Street fights that don't end after the first two or three blows, normally end up involving some sort of rolling or wrestling on the ground. That being said I expected this place to have an extremely combative atmosphere, seeing as they teach very practical applications of self-defense. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the atmosphere here was not only non-combative, but is also friendly and set up as such so that no matter what shape you're in you can train without being judged (when I joined I couldn't do 15 push-ups, after three months I can do at least triple that and have lost 15 pounds). They also teach Thai kickboxing (Muay Thai) here, which is also an extremely practical fighting/self defense style. As well as having phenomenal children's karate and Brazilian Ju-jitsu classes. Every class has a workout/warm up session which ensures that you not only become a martial artist in your own right, but get in shape as well. All the instructors, without fail are great human beings and positive role models, who are committed to their students success both in and outside of the school. They've helped me in the school by offering me one on one sessions at no additional cost, when I didn't understand certain techniques, or when scheduling didn't allow me to make it to the usual classes. They've personally helped me outside of the school by teaching me how to eat right and mentoring me when I needed it. They do insist that students sign a contract, which is totally understandable because they invest themselves in every single student, but this can't be done if the student won't commit to themselves. They also ask that you schedule an appointment before coming in for the intro session,which is also understandable seeing as they have a school to run. All in all it's a great place to train, as well as to get in shape, while developing connections and lifelong friends and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is serious about training or getting in shape in a positive atmosphere. read more

This is a great community business. James Noto participated at FDR High School Health fair and was so great with the students. Very professional and truly takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend you checking this place out. read more

It has almost been two years since I have started at BBJJ at the invitation of a must trusted friend who has also found great value in the training the school provides. For me, training at BBJJ is not just for my martial arts development. Of course that's a big part of why I train, but what I am about to list means so much more: -I came into the school wanting fitness, I got it. I have maintained my goal weight, thanks to consistent training and development encouraged by my professors to have a home practice. -I go to school to completely relax, I am sure that sounds funny, because I roll and spar with students. But with intense focus on task, nothing else matters. -I also gain great confidence in myself, maybe it's feeling like I can protect myself, which leads to believing that I have full control over what happens to me or at least how I take it. I find myself speaking up for what I believe in and ask for what I want out of life. -I got great new friends, who share this passion with me, who geek out on technique with me, hang out with me, and I know I can count on them. -Most importantly, I got mentors, teachers who go after their dreams, who I can look to for guidance. -It is a new life-style, a discipline of self, it's mastery of every area of your life through commitment and practice. -I get that mastery of any martial art cannot be attained in days, it takes a lifetime. We didn't all start out knowing how to walk, it took time to perfect. Repetition and consistent practice is the only way for the body to remember--muscle memory. None of us start college and expect to take one class and earn our degree, why would Brazilian Jiu Jitsu be any different? read more

i'm a long time student, i can't overstate what this school has done for my life. i'm fit now, i have more confidence now, i get more of my personal goals done now. if you live in the area and want to have a better life, join read more

People ask me every day why I quit jiu jitsu. Here's why: I was getting tired of some of the instructors that weren't professors being rude when professor wasn't there. For example, Fridays professor wasn't there so when the instructor took that class over he would always say "no talking. No laughing. Jiu jitsu is about learning." It's randori, relax. It felt as if we were learning more how to keep our bodies healthy physically and mentally (not that that's a bad thing at all!) than we were learning jiu jitsu (that's the bad part.) Then, the lessons became way too repetitive. I certainly learned the hip toss way too many times. Besides the price of the classes (its martial arts, don't expect it cheap) there were many additional costs to get into special classes where you actually learned some jiu jitsu. Whaaaat, I have to pay like 100+ (I never took those classes so that price is a freeball!) to actually learn what I signed up for? (Well not me per say, my dad really.) Don't get me started on higher belts! You are in the same class i'm in, we both still have the same color gi and, we are both doing the same lessons. Yeah you've been doing this longer, but it doesn't say instructor or professor on your back. I don't pay you to train here. So don't tell me where to run when i'm switching spots, or to not have conversation if I know what i'm doing. Help me learn jiu jitsu, but don't tell me what to do if i'm not training with you. (Didn't mean to go all 2nd person! That was my training pet peeve.) Speaking of belts, the belt system was very strange. It didn't depend on your overall progress to get stripes or to graduate to your next belt, it was based on the number of classes attended mixed with the amount of time you've been training. I used to try to train every day, and in less than 2 years I was a 3 stripe blue belt. Yay me, but I feel like I almost didn't deserve it. It was a strange feeling of false contentment. Another reason for that feeling was the fact that I don't feel any safer or any more prepared to defend myself. I know for a fact that if you put me and another person on a mat and you told us to roll, I would have no problem getting into certain submissions and positions (haha I'm a rapper. No I'm not.) But, if someone on the street came charging at me with a clenched fist ready to steal from me, my best bet would be to duck and run. (STORY ALERT!!!) there was one girl in my jiu jitsu class I really didn't like, only because she judged my commitment to jiu jitsu because I was working at McDonalds. She had the nerve to say that when I already had 3 stripes on my blue belt and she had about 5 on her white belt. I was still in high school, where did she want me to work?! (I didn't care then, I was making money!) Any who, the point to the story, too much over confidence (I really want to say COCKINESS) was condoned to the adults in the class, no matter the belt. It was as if the only way a teenager got respect (from classmates, instructors, anyone!!) was if they had already been training since the juniors class. I understand there's a sense of comfort because they already knew them from early on, and some teenagers aren't super enthusiastic. But I sure as hell was and sure wish that was as appreciated as these adults and been-students-forever teenagers! (I was 15 when I started and 17 when I quit.) read more

My family has been part of BBJJ for a little over a year. We started out with our son starting in the Junior Black Belt program, and since then we have signed 2 daughters as well as myself and my husband. I personally have only been training for the last 6 months, and I ask myself why didn't I start sooner??? The staff at BBJJ is so welcoming they make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. It means a lot when someone remembers your name amongst hundreds of students. They always have a smile on. It is great to walk into a class where everyone is genuine and always looking to lend a helping hand. The Senior students never make anyone feel inadequate in their abilities. Instead they coach along the way and offer constant positive reinforcement. I have overcome certain fears of not being able to do things. I have overcome excuses that I don't have time. I am able to train with confidence that we all started at the beginning, and even though we all learn differently, Professor and his staff are ready willing and able to coach throughout the journey. There are several schools that make up BBJJ and over a wide variety of training schedules that can fit anyone's schedule. I love the workout you get when you train. Some of us are not gym people and the martial arts training is a great way to get proper exercise on a daily basis. It also has been extremely awarding socially. We have made some good friends along the way, and cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us. Thank you BBJJ for opening doors that we didn't even know existed! read more

Professor Noto is a natural teacher. He is incredibly self-discipled and inspires others. During Saturday rendori, he will watch everyone roll and then step in when needed to provide helpful tips on basic techniques to make them tighter, and advanced techniques to help you make them your own. He also oversees class to smooth out any edges, which may arise during rendori. Highly recommend Saturday rendori class. Come train! read more

Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu boasts more than available lessons in the martial arts.  It's true, our chief instructors are Black Belt practitioners as well as self proclaimed, life long students in multiple disciplines: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Thai boxing, Shotokan karate, and Judo.  Each instructor is thoughtful - as well as thorough - in their role as guide, going to great lengths to book one-on-one sessions with each and every one of their many students. Still, when I meditate on my five years spent training as a student of this academy, it is the community aspect of the BBJJ experience which resonates most sonorously.  Under the teachings of Shihan Gene Dunn, Professor Brian Glick, and a brilliant staff of head instructors at Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I've found myself surrounded with individuals whom have led me to greener pastures.  Here are a couple specific examples of how my life has improved as a direct result of my time spent with BBJJ staff: Life-Changing Books: The reading I've had recommended to me by BBJJ staff and fellow students has opened my mind to the truth that I can accomplish goals I never truly believed I could achieve.  Through the reading of just a handful of books my skills - in time management, person-to-person interaction, and general effectiveness - improved so markedly that I questioned if they'd ever been really exercised before.  We all have a desire to become better, in one way or another.  However, in practice, improving ourselves requires a quite different approach.  Whether we want a fitter body or a sharper mind - often the two go hand in hand - there is a solution.  And as we narrow our focus to a particular book written on one topic or area of study, the mystique which once surrounded that problem dissipates.  It's that kind of clarity which we see in the top performers in our chosen fields.  The Forming of Healthy Habits:  Habits are easy to form, difficult to break.  At Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the practice of forming healthy habits is discussed by our instructors in every class, in some great detail.  From proper postures assumed in calisthenics exercises, to observing a reasonable bedtime as a means to greater energy levels in our mornings, I have found that habits will either help or hurt me.  It's rather black and white in that sense and there aren't many parts of life about which I'd make such a statement.  However, because of how long I spent living life essentially in reverse, allowing for destructive behavior and seeking out no real solutions to it, I find I'm able to recognize with great accuracy any type of improvement in my own life.  It was through my training at BBJJ that I learned to pinpoint these weak spots and replace them with The Forming of Healthy Habits. To sign up for lessons at Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is to buy yourself a ticket on a non-stop flight to personal improvement, lasting friendships, and a type of guidance which begins with your instructors - but takes root in one's self, growing far more through personal reflection between classes than time during class allows.  I highly recommend you join us at BBJJ. Sincerely, Jeff Taylor Student at Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu read more

All this place really cares about is money. First there is a 1 year contract but 10weeks into it they are going to tell you are ready for advance classes and basically your not going to learn anything anymore in the basic class. To get into the advance class you have to pay $300+ sign an additional 2 year contract so 3 yrs in all. But don't feel too special about them telling you that your ready for the advance class they tell everyone that after their 15th class. Sign the contract at your own risk these people are ruthless they don't care what's going on in your personal life. When I started these classes I was on unemployment thinking oh hey I'll find a job in a few months, fast forward 7 months later I find a temp job in the city and tell them that I don't get out of work till 7:30 and there is no way to get to class. I swear on my life the instructor tells me forget your job you'll find another one just come to class. This was in December the same December that congress was trying to extend unemployment because of how bad the economy was and this mofo was telling to find another job. Look if your looking for a place where the instructors know their jiu-jitsu then yea this is the right place just prey nothing goes wrong with you in your financial life. read more

I tried out Brooklyn Brazilian Jiujitsu on a whim via a friends and family invite through Professor Noto. I have been into fitness for a long time, but really desired to find a form of fun yet challenging exercise that would utilize muscle groups not commonly used, and also not be boring as the gym. Immediately, when I went for a free lesson, the entire staff was very welcoming and friendly. They will push you to do your best, but they will also be positive, which really helps overcome the mental challenges one faces when pushing oneself physically. I highly recommend it! I definitely have developed a more positive self image, made new friends, and find it easier to do my other forms of exercise...which means I am definitely more fit! read more

I trained in another BJJ facility a few years ago and had to stop going due to school reasons. I decided i lived around the area and decided to go to this Brazilian jiu jitsu place. I went there and told them i had a little bit of experience, i met a cool kid wearing a blue belt and he was nice and all. I told him that i use to train and i want to start back again for fitness and etc. He goes and talks to his master i forget the dude's name, they come back and say i dont think this is the school for you- i was like huh? The exact reason was "Oh your old master had some different style of fighting". I was like huh? Renzo Grace is Renzo grace- all the higher belts are respectable and train the same way. Then they say have u left on good terms? i was like yes, go ahead talk to my master. Then he says oh we're not too sure about my old master. But the lead master comes over and starts talking to me and asks how is your old master and etc. I was like he is fine. At this point, i knew some type of conflict must have happened between them or he just didnt like other instructors. BJJ is about respect and not having these little petty highschool issues. Very disappointed. read more

This is a lovely place to be in. This organization means a lot to me. Not only this is a martial arts school it also made me more disciplined and life ready and as a teenager myself, I've definitely changed to be a much gentler human being and learned to develop good relationships with my parents and friends and do good things for everyone around me. Everyone is nice. Come in and say hi and try a class read more

This is an amazing place to train in martial arts! My son started training here about a year ago and my husband about 8 months ago. They were trying to convince me to start training here but I am not very motivated to exercise. I finally decided to try it in August and I love it! I am now training 3-4 times a week. This school is a place where any type of person from any background, and any fitness level can feel comfortable working out and learning new skills. You don't have to have any prior experience. Not only do they help you get fit, they also incorporate emotional and mental life lessons into the training. I always leave feeling like I got a great workout and with something to think about for the week. I definitely recommend bringing your whole family here to train! read more

A long time ago, I went in for the 2 week trial and I liked it. So, i decided to do a 3 month package. ok. NOT WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!! A few weeks later they tried to get EVEN MORE MONEY out of my pocket. First i had to pay $169 a month then $209 A MONTH. WHAT?! This place is NOT worth your time and money, the owner (i forget his name and thank god i did) was EXTREMELY RUDE AND NASTY. They are just money hungry and will do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING just to get more money out of your pocket. I WISH i could give this place ZERO stars. To those thinking to join, don't even consider thinking about going to the 2 week trial, oh and if they give you the "elevator speech" as to why to join, DONT LISTEN! read more
