Losing is a phenomenal motivator to hone your skills. We were told about a "friendly" competition at my children's BJJ gym and traveled over an hour to Inspirit for my daughters 2nd and sons first comp. Inspirit is a very clean gym, and we had a pleasant experience throughout the morning and part of the afternoon. The large, enclosed back area felt safe, allowing my youngest to roam around unsupervised. What I think is absolute nonsense is that my daughter, who just earned her grey belt with a white stripe, was moved from a division of three other kids with the same belt to the division with the highest grey belt. They paired my daughter with the owner's daughter, who, in my opinion, is definitely not a grey belt. My daughter fought, tried, and lost, and THAT'S OK. We're PROUD of her and we know what she needs to work on. But what I'm not proud of is the gym lying about it being a friendly competition and then promoting a far less experienced practitioner so their child could win. That's pretty low. A lady next to me, whom I've never seen before, said, "That wasn't even a fair fight," and the coach from our gym later voiced the same opinion to our professor. Our friends voiced that same opinion. To add insult to injury, our gym professor doesn't enter his kids in these "friendly" tournaments due to ethical concerns. So, is this the kind of sportsmanship, ethics and self defense you want to learn or have your kids learn!?! if it is, you've found your gym. Who calls us from the gym to "check up" and then "thank us for our feedback?" - Some random employee who also tried to take responsibility for making the bracket, that's BAD business and I'd bet the family farm she didn't set the brackets - the owners do. At least I now know you're so ashamed of your decisions, you're unwilling to take responsibility for your actions and willing to throw a 7 year old and an adult under the bus. Here's your "feedback"

This is a great place to learn martial arts. The head instructors, Daniel and Marie, are first…read morerate. Everyone, from total beginners to seasoned veterans, are welcomed warmly. The gym is very clean. The people are friendly and welcoming. No macho head games. I have been training there for 2 months and even though I have been doing various martial arts for over 40 years I have learned a lot. I'm taking kickboxing and Filipino martial arts classes there. They also offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai classes and fitness classes. I highly recommend this school for anyone interested martial arts whether for self defense, fitness or competition.

This is quite apparent in his students also, they come from a wide range of disciplines and are always looking to improve themselves. Guro Daniel is always setting the bar a little higher each class to get you to be engaged without any boredom setting in. His classes will quickly take you out of your comfort zone!!!

All of the instructors at the school are great, but especially Master Richard. He lives the tenets of Tae Kwon Do and sets an excellent example. He commands the room better than any coach or teacher I have ever seen, and the kids really like him. Plus, his ability to get every kid's name right every time is impressive. I mess up my own kids' names all the time. My son has now progressed to competition in forms and sparring, and his self-confidence is much improved. I highly recommend joining the studio if/when space opens off the waiting list (3-6 months, last I knew).

As a native-born Korean, my expectations for Taekwondo are very high and Master Richard has exceeded every one of them for both of our children. His classes strike the perfect balance of fun, discipline, and respect, while instilling traditional TKD values and still leaving room for silliness and joy. We could not recommend it more. Thank you, Master Richard, and everyone at All Rise!

All the core basics, really tight game, superior self-defense and defensive positioning, super simple, yet technical submissions. Nothing fancy, just old school Machado BJJ. The other black belts that teach here embody a similar blue-collar style of BJJ. Everyone at the gym is nice and welcoming, the group classes are great, privates even better. Gym is very clean.

There are also weights here. I didn't ask about them, but if you are allowed to use them you may be able to have this place double as your weight gym. At the end of the class I took there was probably roughly about a half hour where it was kinda just open mat. I found this time to be very useful to use as some much need practice time for technique. This gym lays a little more on the non-traditional side. Most people where gi's but they are optional and some do not. Bowing is not required (or at least that is what I was told). And Bob incorporates some general self-defense not exclusively related to Jiu-Jitsu like protecting yourself from certain strikes.

What we didn't expect was becoming part of a community where everyone is like family and super supportive.      Professor Andre is the most patient, kind and understanding person I have ever met. He teaches the kids with so much love and passion. I can't really speak for the adult class, but my husband enjoys it so much, he wishes he could train everyday if his schedule permitted it. Aside from training, they put together ways for families to get to know each other and have fun. Last Halloween they hosted a trunk or treat, which all the families had an amazing time. Also, I was able to attend one of their mom's nights out. I really appreciated that even though I don't personally train - there was something for me as well. There is never any pressure to attend any of the extra stuff, but it's great for all the kids and families to get to know each other outside of class.
