HIGHLY RECOMMEND…read more This is a top class martial arts facility - the mat system and layout with big window outdoor views is an inspired way to bring nature into the training. Training at the studio on a one day basis (in town on business), I was very fortunate to join a class led by Prof Pedro Valente Jr. - BJJ expert and direct student of Helio Gracie, He is exceptional technically and as a teacher.

The bathrooms are clean and there are organizational racks for gear bags and shoes. The instruction is very good and is on a tight schedule, i.e. for kids 5:30 to 5:35 warmup, technique introduction and practice 5:35 to 5:50, practice on technique controlled rolling until 6:10, cooldown and bow out with class ending exactly at 6:15. The kids get to hang around and play on mat 15 minutes before and after class. I think this actually motivates the kids to come to class. The professor is liberal in a case by case basis for kids that have enough strength, technique, to go to the 10 to 18 year old class. They can either do both classes or some parents who have older children will have thier younger kids go to the junior class if they can hang. Attendance varies wildly. I have seen 24 kids in children's class to only four on Fridays, which tend to be small classes. They are very flexible for people who have to withdraw for moving, or even temporarily for an injury. The only two negatives that I have noted is on having two instructors when the classes were larger than twenty in the kid's class. The second negative is that there is limited seating for parents which could be easily resolved with some folding chairs.

And I confirmed. The second call at 4:30 pm to confirm at 5:30 pm boxing. She mixed up the time the first time and called to warn that the training would be at 5:30. I was driving from work and said that I'm not sure that I will be on time. I was in a hurry to get to training and was on time. But surprise! There was no training because the coach didn't come!
