I am in town for a couple months from NV. Originally, I wasn't planning on training since I have a…read morerigorous academic schedule with both my military and civilian careers while being here. However, I changed my mind when some of the girls I worked with expressed interest in training. This was the closest place. I did call at first and didn't receive a call back like a previous review. However, knowing that most gym owners do everything at their gym like teaching, cleaning, scheduling, front desk, and even possibly working a full-time job in addition to running a gym, etc. I didn't take this personal... I looked at the time... saw it was class time and sent an email to the gym. I did receive an email back! Chris asked me if I ever trained. I told him yes but I'm probably going to only do no-gi because I didn't plan to train while I was here initially and didn't bring my stuff. He said told me it was no problem and he had a bunch of loaner gis that I was welcome to use. Chris is really down to earth and welcoming as well as all his students! The vibe is great at this gym. I've been training for over 9 years and I really appreciate when a gym welcomes guests as their own and has that family feel right when you come in! Come try them out if you are in town!

I was here short term for military training and education but had a great time training with the team here. Everyone was welcoming and encouraging. I had been out of training for over a year, and this was my first time coming back, since I had some free time while I was here. I was coached and welcomed as one of the team without a second thought. It is clear the culture they have here is intentional and supportive. I recommend anyone in the area train here.

This "school" is trash. I'm sorry - I really don't say this from a place of anger, I actually…read morewaited several weeks after my kid's split from TMA to make sure I could write something after reflecting a bit. Remember Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation - if he ran a martial arts studio it would be Troy Martial Arts. Let me explain. Problem 1: Owners are unorganized and greedy. Bad combo. Rules and rates constantly change, the offer "specials" like letting kids have relaxed uniform rules if they wear a TMA shirt - expect the color of the shirt changes every month, so they must always buy more. They inflate their own reviews by giving kids raffle tickets if their parents leave 5 star ratings (hello ethics). They also pressure parents into buying extra gear (from THEM of course, can't buy on Amazon for less) as well as pressuring parents into having their kids take extra classes in fields their kid has no interest in (weapons, grappling etc) Problem 2: Owners have INSANE double standards for students. Some kids are treated like kids, some are treated like adults. Some have to test by fighting people 15 years their senior while some test against their little brothers. No problem with pushing kids - but having different standards for different kids and then tying that to a rewards system (belts) is nothing but discriminatory. Problem 3: Not professional. What style do they even teach? My kid started 3 years ago to learn Taekwondo.....when we left last month it was largely because all they wanted to teach was grappling. Sorry, my 13 year old GIRL did not want to constantly wrestle with men in their 20s and 30s. GROSS. Yeah keep your filthy hands of my daughter. Not to mention, I believe the owner has like a white belt in his grappling "art". Not exactly qualified to teach something so dangerous. When we signed up at this school there was no mention of learning to wrestle. The final straw for us was that the owners here constantly tried to guilt my kid into giving up her other extra curricular activities. Yes, they wanted a 13 year old to devote her life to their rinky dink, trailer park looking school. Sorry folks - we have bigger dreams for her than to be Cousin Eddies wrestling partner.
