WOW, Natasha is so talented. My husband and I hired Natasha to help us with our wedding 'first…read moredance'. Neither of us have ANY dance experience, so we were very pleasantly surprised at how Natasha was able to teach us. Originally, we were just hoping to not step on each other's feet or revert to our middle school dance styles. We got so much more! Natasha was able to use our song of choice and choreograph an entire routine that was so beautiful and felt like us. She took our ideas and suggestions to heart and made it so fun. She also was very flexible and communicative, easy to schedule with. We enjoyed going to classes leading up to the wedding and everyone LOVED our dance on the big day. It definitely stands out as one of our favorite parts of the day. We can't recommend Natasha and her team enough.

I walked into the studio for the first time 10 months ago with no idea of how to dance or even what…read moredances to learn. I chose to purchase the introductory package and after my first 30 minute Waltz lesson with Natasha I knew this was something I was going to enjoy. I discovered I have a true passion for dancing and after my introductory special was finished I started taking weekly lessons and have not looked back. Natasha is truly passionate about what she does and wants everyone who walks through her doors to have fun and truly enjoy dancing at whatever level they want. She is an incredible dancer and teacher and with her teaching I have now been to 3 different competitions around the country and have placed 1st in many dances. Whatever your goals are for dancing, whether it's just to try something new, get ready for your wedding or you want to go to competition, Natasha at First Class Ballroom is the place to go.

Eighteen years later, I am still a member, I earned my black belt, and nothing has been the same. I have confidence, self-esteem, and grew up an empowered, self-reliant young woman. I'm now a confident, fit adult, and it's my karate that has made all the difference. I made great friends for life, and have found a second family in the community there. You will not be intimidated here. You will be accepted and valued no matter what your age or current level of fitness. You will learn that you are capable of far more than you thought you were if you are new to the martial arts, and you will be impressed with the devotion and passion of the instructors regardless of your previous experience. There are no contracts, there are very reasonable rates, and they have reduced rates for families. There's something here for ages 5 - 80, trust me. Go take a free introductory class, and I promise you won't regret it. This is Marysville's oldest dojo for a reason. I can guarantee you that it's the best.

I studied under Hammond Shihan 30 years ago and for my own personal reasons my life took a…read moredifferent course and I left. I returned a little over a year ago this time with my family. I've again rekindled the love and appreciation for martial arts that I had many years ago. My family seems to really enjoy it also. Ronin Dojo's proprietor is, in my humble opinion, second to none. I've seen other styles and even other instructors in the Seito Shito Ryu style and, for me, only solidifies my reason for returning to Hammond Shihan. Sensei's teachings provide discipline of the mind and body while making it fun and enjoyable at the same time. Personally it provides a means in which to become more physically fit and maintain a healthier life style. Ronin Dojo isn't a "black belt factory" for the martial arts. The leadership ensures that the discipline remains pure and it's students maintain a level of respect to the art. Although the goal is to earn your black belt it doesn't come quickly or easily for that matter. You'll get out of it what you put into it! I can honestly say that my endeavor with Ronin Dojo is now a life long personal commitment and I would recommend Ronin Dojo to anyone interested in the martial arts or even just as a means of becoming physically fit!

I find Home Fitness With Ana to be a perfect match to my exercise needs. My background is in…read moresports, focused mainly on running, and I know fairly well how to succeed at running. But the body contains more than running muscles, and the exercises to strengthen and maintain the core, shoulders, and back need to be learned and practiced. Ana is a certified trainer who is very good at assessments, and at designing plans addressed to my particular weaknesses. She also provides good advice on food choices, amounts, and times and I have prospered by following her advice. I happen to be a 62 year old male who by following Ana's training and eating instructions has dropped from 195 lb down to 165 lbs. I am extremely pleased by this, and believe me, racing and living at 165 lbs is much easier than at 195 lbs. I recommend Home Fitness With Ana to anyone who would like careful personal attention, and a program tailored precisely to your own situation. :-) Monte Evans -- Boeing Engineer

A rare occasion I write a review but.... First of all every…read moreperson working or assisting with classes is absolutely amazing and beyond patient. My son is 7 years old and in a beginner class. Not the most you know, coordinated child out there but excited to learn with other kids. In every single class, he is absolutely met where his current ability is. Whether that's an assistant nearby helping him out, or (who I am prettier sure is) the owner has a couple newer kids step aside and he works on basic moves with them that need work. The other kids in the classes are honestly super kind and helpful to kids needing assistance and it's apparent that they are taught to be this way toward other students. My son is usually nervous in new scenarios, with new people, very much anxious/sensitive with critique in what he's attempting, here he learns from people with patience and kindness. (So huge.) He feels confident and proud of himself every time he has left a class. I couldn't recommend this business or thank these people enough for the difference they make in my sons week. But thank you guys!!!

During the initial consultation Jon's questions were thorough and really helped to paint him a good picture of who I was and what I needed.

If you are with him in the summer he may even break out his dungeons and dragons workout where you get put to the test to defeat the goblins (actually crazy fun)! As a consumer and as a physical therapist I would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for guidance and accountability and a fun work out!

After researching several martial arts programs for my son, a friend highly recommended Active…read moreMartial Arts in Mill Creek WA, and I'm so glad we decided to check it out. From our very first class, we could tell this was a truly special place. The instructors are incredibly energetic, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child. It's obvious that the students love being there, and it's amazing to see the confidence, pride, and sense of accomplishment they develop. At first, I was a little intimidated by the size of the classes and the fact that the more experienced students help teach the newer ones. It didn't take long to realize that's one of the things that makes this program so unique. The mentorship creates a supportive environment where everyone learns from one another, and the older students develop leadership skills while helping the younger ones succeed. Active does an exceptional job of blending respect, discipline, and confidence-building into a fun, positive, and welcoming atmosphere. I would wholeheartedly recommend Active to any family looking for an outstanding martial arts program for their child.

Our daughter started High School this year and is out more often without adults, which isn't ideal…read morebut the reality for her age group. The city isn't exactly safe and with a severe lack of police to protect us, we needed to make sure our daughter can handle herself if she finds herself in an unfortunate situation. It was extremely important to us that she learn how to defend herself so I started searching for self defense coaches and classes. I brought her to a few that taught her how to de-escalate but they didn't teach her how to fight if she needs to, which is more likely than someone jumping you on the streets to have a conversation. The martial arts classes at the chain agencies were ok, but classes were super large and took forever to learn even one defense move if presented with a dangerous situation and they are more geared toward competitions; for us the cost wasn't worth it. I finally found Bill who she (and I with her) has been training with for a few months now. He provides us with real life skills and training for real life situations and survival. He's an expert at what he does and straight forward, which is greatly appreciated. I have the utmost confidence in his training and love to see my daughter's continued improvement and increased confidence every time we have lessons. I can't wait for the day that she is as good at defending herself as his own daughters are. He's simply the best and worth every penny. Highly recommended, 100%.

But, my 5'2" 120lb daughter with special needs is leaving for her first year of college in September. I needed results - yesterday! After viewing the top 10 self defense trainers on Yelp, the reviews helped my find Bill. I wanted simple, easy to learn, effective tactics to help a very small person defend themselves against a larger attacker (which is most people). My daughter and I signed up for his 2-hour class. He taught us the moves and how to train with each other to make those moves muscle memory. He is professional, knowledgeable, kind and great with patiently instructing those who need a bit of extra help understanding the postures and moves. We had a great time during his lesson :-) I would give 6 stars if possible. Thank you Bill!!!
