I've been a member since 2021, and I keep going back. Partly because I've already been boxing for…read more12 years and have a bunch of semi-discipline, (lol) but I've also enjoyed learning NEW things, and interacting with the cool trainers. Primarily FFKK caters to the kids, teaching them karate and having summer programs, after-school programs, plus some classes where the parents and kids train together. But four days a week at 7:30pm the adults attend kickboxing/muy thai classes for an hour. They also sell intro gloves, leg gear, head gear and shirts, hoodies and a duffel to put it all in. They strictly prefer that all wear the shirts when they train. The black-belt trainer, Jerry is a great guy, patient, kind, able to train all levels at once. He makes sure your form is good, makes sure folks don't get hurt, and is very flexible with your decision to spar when you get to a certain level. There are sessions just for testing, and folks who perform what they've learned get a belt. Another black-belt trainer there, X, is a good guy too. He co-trains with Jerry and always puts an effort in and boosts up folk's confidence when they feel they aren't quite getting the drills. He challenges folks without pushing too hard beyond the scope of what they are capable of, and is genuinely respectful of everyone at all levels. Part of what keeps me going back is training with them, and actually learning to kickbox, not just do HIIT training for a Hot Gurl Summer. They respect the sport, and they help you to enjoy training and learning. I wasn't good at holding mitts or pads when I'm paired up, because I never had to in boxing. When we do drills we pair up and learn from each other. Folks learn how a punch or kick feels so they know at what speed or force to do it themselves. Yet no one walks out of there looking to fight anyone. They just feel they've learned enough to protect themselves and avoid combat confrontation. And they make new friends. The place is clean, bright, organized, not always cool, but you're gonna sweat hard anyway, so ventilation and a decent temperature is good enough. The heavy bags are quality, the pads well kept, and there are snacks and beverages should you need em. Seating at the front is great for anyone having to wait for you, or to put your gear or shoes, although they do have cubbies for that too. There always seems to be package deal pricing, and the prices are reasonable. Check em out and then go kick something.

This place and its classes are what is keeping me going. It gave me a sense of purpose and…read moresomething to look forward to. The workouts are great, I feel like I'm really learning here. The classes are 45 minutes (strictly while the summer camp is also happening, but once the kids are gone, we're allowed up to 15 extra minutes to get a quick workout in). I personally attend the morning sessions as I have to work during the evening ones. After each class, I leave feeling pump and ready to face the day. I have been recommending this place to everyone, and if not for you, then I recommend your kids doing karate here. This is simply a place you need in your life and I hope that everyone gets to experience it at some point in their lives.

Not only have I built skill, strength, and confidence, the atmosphere of being welcomed and being part of a team is exceptional. Master Burhan has fostered my growth, and allows opportunities for leadership, which I am beyond grateful for. Initially I was a shy student, and now I help assist lead my class as well as teach younger students. I am excited to encourage participation in our younger generations, and continue to improve my personal growth and taekwondo skills. As a parent, I would advocate for all parents and caregivers to enroll their children here, it does not feel like a business, rather a place of community. TOP skills that I've seen increase profoundly in myself and others is technique, discipline, respect, and confidence, and these skills carry over into school and at home.

Updating this review…read more My son has been training at Edge Ultimate Martial Arts for 14 years, and I truly can't say enough good things about this place. This school has been a huge part of his life and growth. The discipline, confidence, focus, and respect he's developed over the years are priceless. It's more than martial arts -- it's character building, consistency, and community. Master Rios is beyond amazing. His dedication to his students is unmatched. He pushes them to be their best while genuinely caring about who they are as people. The guidance, structure, and encouragement he's given my son throughout the years has made a lasting impact both on and off the mat. We are incredibly grateful for everything Master Rios has poured into my son. If you're looking for a place that truly invests in your child's development, this is it. Highly, highly recommended.

I am spending the time to write this review in hopes that another family will not go through the…read moresame experience that we did. I genuinely was excited about the possibility of my child enrolling here because of the things others have mentioned - clean appearing facilities, outdoor location attached to facility, and cameras. After months of waiting and back and forth (often with multiple unanswered voicemails etc) over 6 months, we finally enrolled in Purple Cats. I paid the fee as they suggested once the space was open for my son, but never heard back about any orientation/starting materials until I reached out. Still, I gave the office the benefit of the doubt and arrived ready with the materials requested, only to find out that neither Ghabby or Gloria (who basically use each other as a convenient scapegoat) were expecting us. Not a single person in the facility knew that we were planned to start that day, despite the payment having been received and the required documentation sent. Despite all of this, we gave them the benefit of the doubt since July is a busy month for daycares, and enrolled my son. We survived day one, but on day two, which I expected to be harder for him, I watched the camera to see how the teachers engaged / eased my son into the adjustment. What I saw was honestly appalling as a mom, not only regarding their treatment of my son, but of the other children. While I definitely understand that children cry and may have a hard time with adjustments, they allowed my son to cry for at least 18 minutes without an adult even approaching him. During this time, they messaged me stating that "live update: diaper dry" but this was clearly false as I was watching my son cry on a rug by himself. When questioned, they stated that this was because they felt they needed to "allow him to gain his trust." At 14 months old, crying for that long does not gain the trust of the child or the parent. Despite ALL of this, I reached out to both Ghabby via phone and Gloria via email who both did the proper lip service and informed me that they would get back to me by end of day with an update on the incident that occurred. I even emailed them more than 48 hours ago to ask for us to pick up our belongings as I've decided this is not the right fit for my family. Despite all of this -including recorded incident tapes documenting a teacher being unnecessarily aggressive with the students- the administration can not seem to respond in a timely manner. In summary, while they may have the "bells and whistles" you first look for on a tour & may do the lip service necessary to make parents feel comfortable, they are disorganized, unprofessional, and unnecessarily aggressive with young children. I strongly urge you stay away.

I have to say - this daycare quickly became such a place of comfort to me. The facilities are always clean (he's never been sick.. and my friends baby who also went here never got sick). The teachers are so attentive and loving. They give me great updates throughout the day. When i drop him off now (he's 6 months) he has HUGE smiles his teachers. They give him plenty of things to do throughout the day and make sure he feeds and naps when he needs to. It never seems like there are too many babies to a teacher either. All the kids seem happy and honestly, so do the parents. Bring your baby here if there's availability! You will not be disappointed!
