At first I thought people were confusing me with someone else, but I quickly realized that's just the culture here. I started with their 4-week beginner program and had a really positive experience. The professors are not only friendly and approachable, but also world-class. They pay close attention to everyone to make sure you feel comfortable and are learning the techniques correctly. Starting BJJ can feel intimidating, but they've created a safe and supportive environment that makes it much easier to stay consistent. That's important for a sport like this where progress takes time. What initially drew me in was Cobrinha's philosophy, and it absolutely lives up to the reputation. I'd encourage anyone to learn about it directly from him. I've been meaning to write this for a while, but I'm proud to be a member here now. This is a great place to start your BJJ journey.

I'm disappointed with my experience…read more On the 12th, I called specifically to confirm pricing and scheduling before committing because I value both my time and the business's time. During that call, I was told there was a 4-week introductory program for $149, with classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:00 PM. I was also told that after the introductory period, membership would be $257 per month, with a discounted rate available if I signed up early. Based on that information, I was excited to get started. I confirmed my email, completed the registration process, signed the waiver, and booked what was advertised on the website as a free trial. When I arrived for class, I was informed that free trials were no longer offered and that the $149 introductory program was no longer available. This was surprising given that only about 10 days had passed since I had called to confirm everything. I asked whether I could simply pay for a drop-in fundamentals class since I was already there and on time, but I was told that drop-ins were only available to students with prior experience. As a brand-new student, my only option was to sign up for the full $257 monthly membership. That was the most frustrating part. The lower-cost introductory option was gone, the free trial was gone, and I wasn't allowed to pay for a single class to see if the gym was a good fit. Instead, the only option available was to commit to a full month for $257 without ever having taken a class there. That's a significant commitment for someone trying a new gym for the first time. It's unfortunate because the facility seems to have a great community and many satisfied members. However, having the terms change so quickly after I confirmed them, combined with having no way to try a class before committing to a full membership, left me with a very negative first impression.

My friend and I have been looking to try kickboxing so we stopped by the Monday 3PM kickboxing…read moreclass. Our instructor was Niko and there was another instructor who helped do demonstrations. We began the class with an alternating jumprope/punching warm up (about 10 minutes) and transitioned to punching with gloves in partners after. Because it was both my friend and my second time kickboxing ever, Niko helped hold the pads for us and went over the basics. Majority of the others in the class seemed pretty experienced and were able to jump into the more complex combos that Niko was providing. I appreciated how Niko was so helpful and encouraging, even though my friend and I had much less experience than those around us. In the short period of time, we were able to learn and practice jabs, crosses, hooks, knees, and kicks. After about 40 minutes of using the gloves, we ended with a quick 5 minute ab workout. Overall, such a solid workout, way to relieve stress and build confidence. Even through attending one day, you can tell everyone in the gym is pushing themselves and constantly seeking to improve, which makes it a great place to learn and be challenged. Quick note on parking: street parking (most of the spots nearby are 1 hour maximum, which works out since the class lasts for an hour)

We have been to a few studios and #teamelite has been an amazing experience for my son. They keep it fun for the kids and always have exciting cross trainings with other studios to keep the kids on their toes by experiencing diff opponents other than their studio mates. The Grand Master is a professional with many years of experience- not just as a leader but also a student. His passion for martial arts and his students are reflected by his actions of going above and beyond to make sure they have all the tools and knowledge of what it takes to be the best of the best. My son and I appreciate all of the staff that help him grow in more ways than one. The tenets of Taekwondo are definitely practiced here.... courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. If you want to go or take your children to a studio that really focuses on the actual martial arts itself and not all about teaching with inexperienced masters/instructors that are not just out to take your $$.... I'd definitely check this studio out!

I didn't just attend the jiu-jitsu class but went to yoga, judo and even the HIIT class. The only class I didn't take was their Muay Thai class, not because there wasn't an opportunity to but I wanted to focus on grappling. When I started they had just moved into their current space-they moved so there could be an outdoor space for classes during COVID and even after moving indoors after restrictions lifted they continually sought to improve the experience for their members. Even after I stopped being a dues paying member I was allowed to drop-in for free and still remembered and greeted fondly.
