The owner/ black belt (Josh) is charismatic and is so good with kids and teaching as a whole. The other instructors follow Josh's lead with being approachable and willing to help everyone. The gym was clean and offers a safe atmosphere and culture for learning. I've trained at a lot of gyms around the US and other countries, this is by far the best BJJ gym yet. Did I say how well the kids classes were? Geez, those kids were good. There parents can rest easy from fear of bullies at school.

With all that I was told last year by my physician that I would need a life changing surgery, and full transparency it scared me, especially when I was told about post operation recovery (I would be down hard). I'm not much for sharing, but I entrusted Danny Pacheco (gym owner) & Coach Keith Moore (personal trainer) with this devastating news and they put me on an 8-week health challenge focused on my post operation recovery and worked me until I hit the operating table. Day one out of surgery I was required to walk one lap around the hospital floor, later that evening I was walking 2 multiple times, and day 3 I averaged 3 laps every 2 hours. I was told I would need someone to assist me physically with day-to-day effects, which was not the case since physically I was able to care for myself and still not sure why, but I never needed to finish the pain medication. Every time I go into the gym, I'm greeted with a warm and friendly smile, and even in one case Coach Hugh and Coach Marissa came up and asked me to pray one day unprompted and without knowledge of what I was going through (I needed it). Sorry if this was long winded, but I don't write many reviews but could not keep quiet about this GEM of a GYM, today marks one week out of surgery and though I still have a road to recovery I have more independence than I was told I would have, even able to walk around the block, there is something special about this place.

I have personally known the owner, Melissa Connatser, for over a decade now and what I can tell you…read moreis that she is a strong, hard-working, powerful leader and Black-Belt Instructor. You will never not come to her school or class and leave unsatisfied. Kyosahnim Melissa is always there to be an understanding individual and help her students in any situation. Any student of hers can vouche that she will teach you how to be an incredible TaeKwon-Do Martial Artist while also teaching you to be a well-rounded person. I started TaeKwon-Do at age 7, and what I can say is that TaeKwon-Do instilled discipline in structure in me that I carry along in every aspect of my life. Due to TaeKwon-Do's training I have learned to advocate for myself, speak to adults/have meaningful conversations, stay organized, stay engaged, and persevere. Being taught the 6 tenets of TaeKwon-Do (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, Indomitable Spirit, and Loyalty) has allowed me to prosper and thrive. These tenets have been engraved into my brain and every achievement I have been able to accomplish has been attributed to such lessons from TaeKwon-Do. This school is amazing and I would highly recommend and encourage anyone of all ages to try it out and be apart of an amazing family and program. The Instructors, facilities, students, and classes are top-tier; 100/10!
