This will be a short review - primarily for the owner, Brooke…read more I live in Fort Lauderdale and was in search of a boxing gym. I was going to be in Memphis over the Christmas holidays and sent an email. Received a response from Brooke the same day encouraging me to drop in. Wanted to ensure that I created the proper approach, so I asked about the cost to attend a few drop-in classes while in town. She provided information on Bot's Boxing which operates from the same building at Memphis Judo. Brooke was very welcoming and instead of payment, asked for a review of their facility, instructors and the environment. My 5 Star rating speaks for itself, and i look forward to returning to the business when I'm in Memphis again.

I had a similar experience to some of the one star reviews. I was promised that even though I was…read moresigning a year contract I could pause or cancel depending on the circumstances. I asked to pause for a while for legitimate reasons, but was denied. I attended for 8 months, paid for 4 I was unable to attend, then they charged me for an additional month. They tried explaining it to me that they needed to charge me on the first and the last of the month, but I guess it wasn't registering for me why I had to pay 13 payments for a 12 month contract. Very shady. And very rude and dismissive when I brought it up, not even trying to look into or understand the situation. I didn't make this a one star review because I really loved the instructors and my time there. It's honestly a shame. I had no idea other people were having the same experience, this can't be legal. I feel like they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit for no reason.

Champion Karate in Memphis has been a great place for me to restart training after years away. I…read moretrained at another school a long time ago, and Shihan Josh allowed me to return at my last ranked belt and keep progressing toward my black belt. He teaches in a way that makes techniques practical for real life, and he does not force a one-size-fits-all approach. He emphasizes repetition, accountability, and steady improvement, and it shows in every class. The mix of ages is great, and everyone is held to the same standard. If you are considering signing up, you will not regret it.

This place has been the single most influential part of my son's life the last 3 years. As a…read moresingle mother, I am always looking extracurricular activities for my boys. Specifically ones who are positive outside influences who can not only be fun for the boys, but ones that can give them life lessons and reinforce my goals as a parent. Since my son has been taking classes here, he has learned confidence, stayed physically fit and become stronger, learned self-discipline and self-defense, made amazing friends, has overcome failures and come back stronger, and has goals of becoming a business owner and owing his own martial arts school. I don't exaggerate when I say this place has been life changing for both my son and myself and I am forever grateful. Champion Martial Arts is not just a karate school, they are family and have helped me raise my son into the respectful, goal oriented, kind, strong, resilient, confident, young man he is.

My son has been training at Midtown Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu for over a year in the kids' classes…read more Josh (the owner) and all his instructors are awesome with the kids. It has really improved my son's confidence and coordination, and it's a relief to know he's able to defend himself if need be. The kids' classes are both krav maga and bjj (they have classes 4 evenings a week, with a gi two days, without a gi the other two), so they get grappling and striking experience. After his first class, my son said he enjoyed it and would like to come back. A year later, he has a 6 foot tall grappling dummy, a punching bag, mats for grappling in the living room, and he told me when he grows up he wants to own a krav/bjj gym. So I recommend Midtown Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking for a positive, practical way for their kids to learn self defense and maybe find a new obsession.

I decided to check this place out - closest gym to my lodgings. I walked in and first noticed how…read morerun down the building was in general. I was also put off that there didn't seem to be anyone there (not even any staff!). I took a lap around the facilities and left - Why? Because it looked like a death trap! Broken pieces of equipment leaning against the wall, no visible safety measures in place, and just overall looking run down. I'm pretty sure they spent more money on their website (which photos there made this place look like it was going to be resort level) than they did on the facilities.

They have gear for everyone, except the hardcore powerlifter (meaning no 100 lb plates, jack racks, platforms, bar jack for deadlift loading, competition bench, or chalk stand.) They DO have squat racks, Smith machines, flat and incline benches, a range of dumbbells up to 140 lbs, and an array of basic HammerStrength machines. The bonus for me is that they have FreeMotion machines, which are the bomb for plane-and-range-of-motion training. They've also got assorted tubing, medicine and stability balls, and Bosus. In case someone from DAC reads this, it would be super-cool if you could install a TRX rack or two. Approximately half the work-out space is devoted to cardio machines, and there's an upstairs where classes are held. I always thought DAC was great for families. It's located at Cox Park where the baseball and soccer fields are. So, it's convenient if the family is involved in those activities as well. However, they do not have a pool; nor do they have a sauna, steam or whirlpool. No big deal for me, but some people demand those things.
