Over this period of time there…read morehas been a significant change in my step-son's attitude towards responsibility and maintaining his focus to achieve goals. As someone that has personally trained under three different martial arts masters, I'm very selective of schools that I personally train at and/or support. No dojo is perfect, but as the Inheritor of Manabi-Masho Jujitsu (a very high honor), Sensei Murdock is truly the epitome of a leader. He is a leader that wishes to empart and share his knowledge of the art to his students! When you make a commitment to show up to learn and a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone, you will walk away changed and a better person. Though I personally don't train here, my wife and I fully support how Sensei trains the students at the Southern School of Martial Arts. If you are looking for a reputable dojo with a sensei to teach you or a loved one, you should definitely consider training under Sensei Murdock!

He is more knowledgable than I would have every thought. He is more patient than almost anyone I've ever known. He works with my wife and adult children, but he also works with my teenagers. He's a great teacher. Our family has been working with him for close to two years and in case you haven't figured it out, he will teach our family for as long as we are in the area.

Way too crowded and expensive for what you get out of it for kids. Just my opinion. The staff is…read morevery engaging, but for the price it doesn't seem worth it for your kid to learn actual self defense. Very fast paced and not a lot of one on one. I decided to put my kids in jiu jitsu instead and it's been very rewarding with one on one and learning actual self defense. My kids agree as well. But, to each their own. Depends on what your goals are I reckon.
