As a 60 years old, I was tentative in exploring Jujitsu. After completing a months trial, attending…read moreover 40 and beginner adult classes I found the culture is very supportive of some one my age. Additionally, the staff is very friendly and helpful. In the classes, we always start with a warm up. Then a discussion of the intent of the session. Usually there a a break to regroup on what the professor is observing, and discussion of points of emphasis. I also am impressed with all my training partners, especially higher belts i have worked with, having open discussions of what is working, effective and not. Of course the professors are always available for questions and clarification. On a personal note, I am very active 60 year old. I found my core strength is improving and other areas in need of strength and conditioning are exposed for me to work on. I try go get to classes 15-30 minutes early just to loosen up.

He is very patient with his students and makes sure that students learn and progress at the right pace. He pays close attention to each and every student, and knows the developmental needs for each. When we moved to Cincinnati I specially sought out Master Kim so that I could enroll my 5yr old even though it meant driving 30 mins to get to class. He is that good! My son has been learning from him for the past 3yrs and loves it! I highly recommend this school and Master Kim.

I am in town for a couple months from NV. Originally, I wasn't planning on training since I have a…read morerigorous academic schedule with both my military and civilian careers while being here. However, I changed my mind when some of the girls I worked with expressed interest in training. This was the closest place. I did call at first and didn't receive a call back like a previous review. However, knowing that most gym owners do everything at their gym like teaching, cleaning, scheduling, front desk, and even possibly working a full-time job in addition to running a gym, etc. I didn't take this personal... I looked at the time... saw it was class time and sent an email to the gym. I did receive an email back! Chris asked me if I ever trained. I told him yes but I'm probably going to only do no-gi because I didn't plan to train while I was here initially and didn't bring my stuff. He said told me it was no problem and he had a bunch of loaner gis that I was welcome to use. Chris is really down to earth and welcoming as well as all his students! The vibe is great at this gym. I've been training for over 9 years and I really appreciate when a gym welcomes guests as their own and has that family feel right when you come in! Come try them out if you are in town!

I was here short term for military training and education but had a great time training with the team here. Everyone was welcoming and encouraging. I had been out of training for over a year, and this was my first time coming back, since I had some free time while I was here. I was coached and welcomed as one of the team without a second thought. It is clear the culture they have here is intentional and supportive. I recommend anyone in the area train here.

We have been going to Pattens Martial Arts for just over 3 months now and have nothing but good things to say. I did read some other reviews regarding the contract. Yes there is a contract, and it lasts for a year. However Jason is the type of person to work with you if you give sufficient notice. He mentioned to me that if I need to quit for any reason to give him 30 days notice. Not that we have any intention of quitting, it's nice to know that going in. My son James absolutely loves class. It was hard at first for him to form to the structure, but once he did, we noticeably saw differences with him. He shows confidence and loves the challenge of getting to the next level. Jason gives you the first month free and that is to see if your child will like it and be a good fit. I knew from the first class this was something we wanted to do long term. Again, I strongly recommend this to anyone with kids over the age of 4.
