My hubby is the knowledgeable one in the family and really likes this studio. I can see that it is well regarded just by the number of mostly kids who attend the adult evening classes. It's like a club of really great kids who are working their way to better themselves through this sport. The owners are a family who are all well trained martial arts experts. They are the nicest people you could ever do business with and trust to teach your kiddos. All classes are in their giant open studio. They also have a play area for young siblings and a small workout area. They set up an audience area to watch the kids practice. The location and parking lot are a bit hard to find for a first timer. They are way set back by the Christian Preschool. Finally be warned sports are expensive and this is no different. Tuition covers unlimited classes based on what is available on their schedule for your age/level. They test for the next level belt about every 6 weeks and It's recommended to practice at least twice per week to be ready to move up. My kids have been there for 5 months and are up 3 belts. Costs so far include tuition, belt testing, equipment, competition entry fees, and weapons.... We estimate it's cost about 1000 for all of those things per kid so far. As far as value, my couch potatoes are enjoying it and going willingly so as long as they are on the path, it's well worth it.

Warning : EXTREMELY religious dojo…read more My children tried this dojo out for 2 months. I am not sure honestly, but it seems like the children were being taught by other children, or teenagers that were helping out. They were all very nice and my children and I liked them a lot. The kids did have fun, but the classes felt very unstructured, kind of random warm ups and drills. The first month was pretty good, I enjoyed watching my kids have fun running around and they were SO excited to learn kung fu. However... I did begin to notice the owner preaches pretty much every single time he opens his mouth. I am respectful of other religions and cultures, and I try to teach my children to be as well, so we let it be and listened. My kids began feeling uncomfortable asking me why he talks about his god and Jesus so much, and how they didn't like that he was making them pray with him. I honestly did not like that either, but it teaches the kids about different types of people. We have all had experiences with cult like religious people, and I guess this was going to be my children's first experience with one. I planned to let it happen and let them observe. I told my kids if it became too uncomfortable with him preaching and praying that we would leave. Well the school (mostly the owner) burned their relationship with my children real fast after that. They invited my kids to a belt seminar, cosmo himself told them they were eligible for a stripe and told them to come to the belt ceremony early to warm up. So we show up the next evening for the ceremony, my children go warm up for 15 minutes (my daughter was so proud of herself and had been practicing) then they escorted all the children to the mat to sit and watch each other earn their belts. Yea well at that moment they basically tell my kids oh surprise you are NOT eligible for a belt. Just sit and watch everyone else show what they know and you don't get to participate. My kids are 5 and 7. They were absolutely CRUSHED. After a little while of watching all the other kids show off their skills. And the owner telling one of the younger teachers specifically not to let my son go up when they were trying to fill time, my daughter grabbed her brother and came to me asking to leave. She was holding back tears trying to be strong. She was humiliated. The drive home was AWFUL. Just heartbreaking. She thought the owner made them come to the belt ceremony just to embarrass them and single them out. They were the only kids there who weren't allowed to participate. All the other kids who weren't eligible did not show up. But we were specifically told to come. I emailed them and said I was done. The school tried to contact me after to apologize and offered to basically just give my children the belts *face palm* but it was never about the belts, it was about how they made my children feel. Uncomfortable, weirded out, and then very hurt. They als told me the kids are eligible for belts every 3 months, so to me it sounds pay based not skill based. The program is also very very expensive. So there it is. My children's first experience with a very very religious person and environment ended with them feeling very burned and hurt. I would also like to say, if I would have know how insane the preaching was, I would have never signed my children up. They make the kids pray, constant preaching. They play Christian music on a television sometimes. There is even a video on instagram of the owner asking a group of children if they believe in god, which is HIGHLY inappropriate to put other peoples children on the spot like that. Let this be a warning that it is definitely too much and uncomfortable for kids that aren't already deep in that church life.
