Sensei Day openly teased my child in front of all his peers after being admitted to the hospital…read moreand missing a second tournament. He won two gold medals at the tournament the month before, to give an example of what an exemplary student he is. This apparently took place because he was "not there to uphold his title of grand champion, but appeared to perfectl|y healthy" (direct quote, confirmed by the other students and staff! Direct HIPPA violation.) My son and myself both qualify under the definition of "invisible disability" (severe life long breathing problems, so they do not necessarily show outwardly on a daily basis). If your child has a chronic health condition, DO NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH THE SENSEIS, simply give the most vague notice of absence possible. Not only will they not take it seriously, they will use it as ammunition to try and shame them for not being present, even with discharge paperwork forwarded to the school they coordinate with and pick up from for their after school program; confirming his admitting Doctor from Children's Hospital, primary care physician, AND school nurse all agreeing he needed to remain home for the week after release (he was hospitalized for the same symptoms not even a week and a half before this incident, to highlight the severity of his health condition).l emailed asking to speak to him after class after the incident, and he's stayed in his office with the door shut. I asked to speak to the other sensei on staff, and she told me to email him (which I've already done extensively). He has been an active member for multiple years now, and it says "health and education center" on the website and on the side of the vans! To see him disregard basic health and this standard of care was shocking to experience. On top of that, I've been trying to get tuition help from their non profit the Kata Fund for MONTHS! You attempt reaching out on the website, you get nothing. He keeps claiming he's sent emails with details, to the point where I had to send screenshots to show him what I had and had not received. They finally provided a single piece of paper in an envelope delivered indirectly by the other staff members, with no further instruction after MONTHS of attempting to work with him on the issue. My son openly admits to being actively afraid of sensei, and that he doesn't trust him to take his health condition seriously. The employees and community however are truly genuine, lovely individuals. We will not continue with our membership moving forward due to this behavior on his part.

I studied several martial arts as a youngster and decided to return to martial arts in middle age…read more After attending the free trial class of two local martial arts schools, I decided to continue with Master JI's TaeKwonDo Martial Arts School. I was extremely impressed with their level of discipline (which I expect from martial arts schools but don't always see) as well as flexibility where appropriate. Master Ji is clearly devoted to the practice and his students and has high expectations. I studied at the Duvall location under Peter. I appreciate that Peter always answers my questions with deep and considered answers, including how various moves were meant to be used in practical applications and best practices for honing my capabilities. Peter (as well as several students at the Monroe location) have astounding martial arts skills. I'm tough to impress, but I was very impressed by Master Ji, Peter, and the school. I highly recommend!

Master Shin is kind and encouraging yet strict - keeps everyone on their toes to try their best. Best place for someone who wants the real deal.

At 50, I'm stronger and more consistent with strength training than I've ever been, and that's entirely due to Stew's approach. Every session with Stew feels fresh and designed specifically for how I am feeling that day, what I've been working on recently, and where I want to go long-term. His depth of knowledge shows in the details: smart progressions, careful attention to form, and exercises that actually translate to strength, durability, good posture, and muscle. Stew is also a true professional--always on time, fully present, and completely focused on me for the entire session. Just as important, he brings an infectious positivity--he pushes me to my limits and makes me feel great no matter how far I was able to go. I consistently leave our workouts feeling energized, motivated, and better than when I walked in. If you're looking for a trainer who combines expertise, accountability, and genuine care for your strength, fitness and health, Stew is exceptional.

TL;DR: Worth it, highly recommended, ESPECIALLY if you feel like you're too out of shape to set…read morefoot in a gym Who: A couple in our 50s, who were feeling hopelessly weak. Too shy to go to a gym/wouldn't even know what to do. Both WFH, I have ADHD. Where: Exercise room (with a few weights/ancient machines) in our condo building When: Twice a week couple training (we do separate, customized exercises) My husband had a bad case of covid in April 2023, and he was bedridden for a few weeks--as a result, he lost much of his muscle mass. I sought out Stew for him but ended up working out together. Previous background: My husband never worked out or played sports until about 10 years ago. He had sedentary work at the computer all his life. He worked with another trainer once a week for several years and eventually was able to do a few pullups etc. His trainer changed jobs, then the pandemic hit, so went back to his old ways. After which he got the covid & felt very weak. I've had multiple health problems since childhood, and while I'm mostly good now, still have fibromyalgia, Addison's disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Hadn't exercised in over 20 years. Together, we felt threatened we might become extinct soon if we didn't do something. So I looked around for a new trainer who could come to our home, at first for my husband only. A lot of them were upstarts (e.g. app-based) and sales-pitchy; they also seemed young, and we weren't sure if a 25-year-old (sorry I don't mean to be agist!) would truly understand how creaky our over-the-hill, underused bodies felt. Then I found Stew. He seemed very professional and experienced; he was older than us and in incredible shape. More than anything, what convinced me was the fact he'd worked with clients with various health and mobility challenges. He was easy to get in touch and communicate with, friendly, and not at all scary. After chatting with him and finding out he could work with both of us in the same hour, I decided to sign up for couple training sessions instead. This doesn't mean we do the same workouts; Stew can customize each person's workouts, and supervise/help us at the same time. This worked well, kind of like a buddy system. We feel more accountable about our sessions and are less likely to miss them. We travel off and on so overall we probably worked out with Stew for 8 months or so. From both being totally wimpy and almost muscle-less, now we can see our muscles and feel much stronger. My favorite part about working with Stew is that our workouts are rarely the same. This really helps with my ADHD brain, which *hates* routines. He brings his magic duffle with different tools, but even with the same pieces of equipment we have in our home gym, he's always coming up with different ways to best help us. He has so many tips and tricks in his workout rolodex, if we feel uncomfortable with something, he can switch it up to what works better in seconds. As another reviewer noted, the service may not be the cheapest, but we can unequivocally say this is the best investment we've made in the past year. (I recommend doing it as a couple! Cheaper than 2 individual sessions!) I used to get tired after walking for 15-30 minutes; now I can hike or play pickleball for multiple hours. My husband can do pushups again, and he's feeling stronger.His shoulders are broader too ;) Perhaps the best testament: We recently bought a new house, and one of my criteria was "in an area where Stew can still come see us." I hope he never retires!!

My son has been a student at Trinity Martial Arts for about 6 months, and he absolutely loves it…read more He has learned so much about self-discipline and respect for others in such a short period of time. KBN Chris Aprecio runs a very family-oriented school and teaches in a very professional yet fun way that kids as young as 4 through mature adults can benefit from. I definitely highly recommend this school to everyone I know and meet who may have the slightest interest in martial arts. The instruction here involves mainly Tae Kwon Do with Arnis (Filipino stick fighting) and Jiu Jitsu. It's a very comprehensive and fun curriculum, integrated with a good balance of learning form, drills and activities to keep the students engaged and excited. My son is planning on learning martial arts from KBN Chris Aprecio for a very long time!

A truly amazing Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu community!…read more I've been training at Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu for about a year and a half, and I can honestly say it's one of the most supportive and friendly BJJ programs I've ever experienced. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about helping every student grow--no matter their skill level. This gym has become a huge part of my life. Both of my kids now train here too, and watching them gain confidence, discipline, and new skills has been amazing. The team here feels like family, and I can't imagine not having this community in our lives. If you're looking for a welcoming place to train Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu, build confidence, and be part of a positive, encouraging environment, Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Not the most you know, coordinated child out there but excited to learn with other kids. In every single class, he is absolutely met where his current ability is. Whether that's an assistant nearby helping him out, or (who I am prettier sure is) the owner has a couple newer kids step aside and he works on basic moves with them that need work. The other kids in the classes are honestly super kind and helpful to kids needing assistance and it's apparent that they are taught to be this way toward other students. My son is usually nervous in new scenarios, with new people, very much anxious/sensitive with critique in what he's attempting, here he learns from people with patience and kindness. (So huge.) He feels confident and proud of himself every time he has left a class. I couldn't recommend this business or thank these people enough for the difference they make in my sons week. But thank you guys!!!
