They do a great job of pushing the kids to the next level, but not too hard where they become discouraged. The classes have only continually grown larger over the years and for good reason. Also, they do fun community involvement throughout the year with trunk or treat and Easter egg hunts. If you are considering on sending your kid here, I'd strongly recommend it!

Today, she's a confident Orange Belt who just competed in her very first tournament -- and took 1st place in ALL THREE categories: forms, board breaking, and sparring! What this school has given her goes far beyond kicks and punches. The instructors have helped strengthen her discipline, focus, independence, confidence, and respect for others. She's learned how to defend herself, stand up for others, work hard, and push through challenges with courage and determination. The Masters and instructors genuinely care about every student and know how to motivate them while still making classes exciting, encouraging, and family-oriented. The positive atmosphere here is something truly special. As parents, it has been incredible watching her grow stronger mentally, emotionally, and physically over this past year. Taekwondo has become so much more than an activity for her -- it's become a source of confidence, structure, leadership, and pride. If you're looking for a dojang that builds not only strong martial artists but also strong character, this is the place. We are beyond grateful to be part of this taekwondo family and highly recommend it to anyone looking to help their child grow and thrive.

The classes are taught by really great, enthusiastic, non-judgmental instructors who genuinely care about you and your goals.

I've been waiting for a boxing gym to open up locally-- and I was so glad when I saw Patriot open…read moreits doors. The classes offered at Patriot give you an awesome workout and I really enjoy it. I had taken a boxing class at another gym, but it wasn't nearly as intense of a workout as the boxing classes offered here. The boxing classes aren't instructional boxing classes- they're more fitness boxing cardio with boxing elements in it. Any level of fitness can jump in the classes, and the classes are totally a mix of people. Guys who were seemingly super fit were sweating right along ladies in their 40s with weight loss goals. I'm almost 30 and trying to get back in shape. There were some younger girls and older guys, too. The people taking the class are always nice, too. None of the guys in the class have ever made me feel like I shouldn't be there. I will say this-- once the class starts, I'm so focused on getting through it myself that I kind of have tunnel-vision for myself. The other people are there, but I'm in my own head as I give it my all. Some instructors spend more time on the bag and doing different moves/combos than others, but there always is SOME bag time in the boxing classes and you usually have a decent mix of doing other circuits/exercises to get you in shape. You're moving non-stop and sweating the ENTIRE time. I liken the experience to getting on a roller coaster-- it's a little scary, you're nervous, not entirely sure what to expect, but once you get on it (or start the class) it's time to go. You can't get off (well, I suppose you could leave the class, but who would want to!?) and you just keep going. Before you know it, it's over. But it was awesome, worth it, and you can't wait to do it again. For actual boxers, they do offer sparring and some mma stuff where you actually box people if that's your thing. I don't really want my face messed up, so I stick to the classes with the bags. They offer open gym, though I've never needed to take advantage of it (classes multiple times a week take care of me). I imagine someone who is actually training to box would love it, though. They also do kick boxing, but I like to stick with just regular boxing. The instructors are super friendly, encouraging, and kind. If you can't do an exercise in the circuit, you can easily do a modified version without ridicule. They're offering more and more classes since they opened and seem to be open to community feedback to make sure they're a gym that can stay. I hope they do. I love it.
