Self-defense classes provide both youth and adults with not only the tools they might need in a physical altercation but also the confidence to make the hard choices when no one is looking. My son, age 7, has been in classes for a year. His focus and grades at school have improved. His belt curriculum challenges daily what is asked of him, respect himself and others, as well as the physical moves. One day, he came home from school upset because he slid into someone on the bus and the boy thought he had hit him. The next day, John sought the child out even though there were no adults around and apologized to him. These are the values he sees demonstrated and taught at Wolf Martial Arts every class. Wolf Martial Arts also is active in our county. Sir Brian hosts Friday night movie or game nights once a month to keep our kids active and engages. The program has been integral in the Tuff Enuf obstacle course that benefits Youth Volunteer Corps. There are upcoming plans for a story time themed fundraiser to help support our local schools. I love being a part of a business that gives back to the community. Personally, the focus on performing acts of kindness throughout our community is a main reason I support Wolf Martial Arts. Sir Brian and his stuff encourage it not only through the belt curriculum but also by leading by example. The staff members that work with the students are perfect role models for my son and I've been so inspired by them that I recently signed up myself.

During this time, I have traveled around to various gyms, learning from many blackbelts and training with many different people. With that, I can say that Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is one of my favorite locations to train at. I trained here for about 12 hours during my 2 weeks visit to the Newport News area, and I have much to say about this awesome gym.  If you're searching for a jiu-jitsu gym that combines top-notch instruction, a welcoming community, and a commitment to personal growth, Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is the gym for you. The instructors here are nothing short of exceptional. Their expertise is evident, but what truly sets them apart is their ability to teach complex techniques in a clear, accessible way. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find their guidance both insightful and encouraging. They're always willing to take the time to address individual questions and provide personalized feedback. The atmosphere at Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu is incredibly supportive. It's clear that everyone from the seasoned black belts to the new white belts shares a common goal of mutual respect and improvement. The camaraderie is evident, and the positive energy makes every class enjoyable, no matter how challenging. Additionally, the facilities are exceptional. The mats are clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate all levels of training. At one point, there looked to be about 16 students rolling on the mats. The gym also offers a variety of classes, including GI and no-GI options, which keeps the training fresh and exciting. Personally, I am intrigued with two classes: "Pathway to Purple Belt" and "4 oz Fridays." As I understand, both classes are necessary to earn a purple belt. I do not see these two classes as a hurdle to purple belt, but as an exciting challenge and an opportunity to improve my skills as a martial artist. Overall, Breakaway Jiu-Jitsu stands out as a gem in the jiu-jitsu community. It's not just a place to learn martial arts; it's a place to build confidence, make friends, and push yourself beyond what you thought possible. I highly recommend this location, and I will be training at this gym every time I return to the Newport News area.

My 9 year old is very focused, very determined; where as my 6 year old has trouble with focus and attention. Grand Master Lee and his family are fantastic. They are kind, understanding, funny and playful. The masters are focused, respectful and hardworking. The environment is centered around principles of respect, hard work, discipline, the value of others and love of country; with a dash of indoor soccer and a heap of laughter. GrandMaster was the coach for the US Olympic Team for ten years. I believe with his experience, teaching style and love for his sport, there is no better a person to have as a leader, coach and mentor to young persons. The US Taekwondo Center is a family oriented and family run business.

This might not be for everyone if they don't want their kids to be opening the bible and having teaching time. They also pray with the students. They have a free trial for those who want to try it out. They offer mainly karate and krav maga. It gets intense when they go into krav maga. Ive been participating in krav maga for over a year and I see the difference it does to your body. They give the kids achievable steps to earn their belts. By making sure they know their kata or strike test, and knowing their belts. We have been attending for 3 years and we love Savior Martial Arts.
