I had to start my first review for the 2015 year off with one of my absolute favorite places in…read moretown! Phil Clark's Martial Arts Academy (which I'm just gonna call PCMAA from hereon out because words) is, hands down, one of my favorite places to get my fitness on in this side of the country! You get to learn self-defense, BJJ, TKD, and you get a great workout/make awesome friends while you're at it. What more could you ask for? :D My friend found this place when we ventured out here for rotations and told me about it since he knew I'd been on the prowl for an MMA gym of sorts. My mom wouldn't let me learn martial arts when I was little because she thought I'd turn all manly, but seeing how I turned out anyway, she really should've just let me. (Too bad so sad.) It's better late than never though! Anyway! Ever since August-ish of last year, I've been coming to the TKD & BJJ classes here as often as my lovely schedule will allow. Phil is quite possibly one of the nicest souls to grace this town and/or planet, and I am so, so glad that I found PCMAA. :] I felt super welcome and comfortable there from day one, which is really saying a lot, considering how up close and personal you get when you're rolling with other people in BJJ. He's also an amazing instructor who honestly goes above and beyond what he has to in order to best help us to learn. (My somewhat sporadic appearances make it difficult to remember what I have and haven't learned sometimes. ._.) We're super lucky to have him, as he's had extensive experience with karate, TKD and BJJ. The classes currently being offered include... -One More Round Fitness: a boxing full-body conditioning-style boot camp of sorts -Gracie Jiu Jitsu: we're affiliated with Relson Gracie, so he and Rhalan come out here and hold seminars! :D!!! -Taekwondo: a mixture of traditional & modern--depending on what you'd rather learn, he teaches both the forms as well as self-defense and kickboxing (*Full schedule is listed at the bottom of this review!*) On days where I actually am free, I often end up hanging out here hours after classes have already ended to talk/hang out/roll with other students or with Phil. The environment here is very, very friendly and welcoming--it's definitely a family-like atmosphere, which I've really grown to love and appreciate out here. All ages and fitness/experience levels are welcome, as classes will be tailored to the students. :] The first trial class is free, and there's a referral program for current students ($15 off their next month of classes if they refer a new student and that student signs up for the month!). Discounts are available for First Responders (+ a smaller discount available for their spouse/children)! -Kids' Classes- Gracie Jiu-Jitsu offered 6-6:45pm (TR) TKD offered 6:45-7:30pm (TR) -Adult Classes- Kickboxing offered 11:30-12:30pm (MW) + 7-8pm (M) Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes offered 11:30-12:30pm (TR), 6-7pm (MW) and 8:30-9:30pm (TR) Taekwondo offered 7:30-8:30pm (TR) One More Round Fitness (full body boxing workout) offered 5:30-6:30pm (M-R) Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Phil-Clarks-Martial-Arts-Academy/145511766835 Definitely come check this place out if you're ever in or around the Ashland area. I promise it'll be worth your while! :]

Which sucks cause I love the other guys, staff and atmosphere. Just felt undersized and like I was simply a failure holding everyone else up learning and my size. Super disappointed in myself not the company or ppl there. They are amazing. Kind. Supportive. Prices aren't bad for members. Really wish more MMA not just Saturdays. Yoga???? My wife wants to do Yoga if it exists????

I message then on Facebook two weeks before the class to see if the class had the min required number of people to have the class and I was told they did and the class was a go. One week before the class I got a confirmation email about the class. When I arrived at ETC and they were closed, I called them and was put in contact with the instructor who told me the class was canceled because I was the only person registered and there was no way for me to take the class they day because there was no range safety officer available. They apologized and said there nothing they could do about the travel expenses but he would refund the course tuition. Which they did. Later that morning I recieved an email from ETC in which they apologized and promised to make it up to me with and work to schedule another class at a reduced rate if I was interested and that they would call me that evening. It seemed very genuine but no call that evening. A few days later I had cooled off and I emailed them back to ask about what my tuition cost would be if I scheduled another class with them. I also texted them to let them know I had replied to the email. After a few days of no email reply, I texted them asking about the tuition cost. The response was that they had not read the mail but they would review it and call me that evening. Again, no call. So a week later from the canceled class and they have made no effort reschedule with me or even have a conversation about doing so. They talk a good game but their actions do not align. Very disappointed with the experience and would not recommend doing business with them.

It is great to see his interests soar and develop in a positive way. I can tell Mr. Kruck's personal touch, demand for accountability and attention to detail have greatly I influenced my son's views on trying something new and conquering different challenges.
