The kids are all friends now! (And their parents!) Master Kim is playful and tough and truly connect with the kids! We like the flexible schedule too. One class of sweating is not enough that most kids stays for another class, sometimes even 3rd class (depending on your belt) we love the parents night out and camps too!

We have been taking our 7 year old son to k3 for 6 months now. Although the place is 30 minutes…read moreaway from home and with our busy schedules it is a struggle we couldn't quit. Quiting was a too difficult decision to make because we can see the changes in our son. We still love and enjoy coming. We can see the progress my son made in that short period of time. Johnny and his team have a very unique teaching method. Funny and joyful but firm and clear. I can see how they help the kiddos learn to focus and be more attentive. We love the circle time where they talk about a moral or a concept. They repeat the store many times to make sure the kiddos get the message. I hope we can keep coming to this special place and if we couldn't the reason would only be the long commute not fitting in our schedule. They also tend to work things out with you. So if you have a problem text or call Johnny.

I recently enrolled my 4yr old on the spectrum daughter into K3 little ninjas program…read more At first I liked the structure of the program, as a fellow young athlete coach myself I felt like I have good judgment in a sport setting. I signed the contract, I brought my daughter for about 5? Classes. On the 5th class there is 3 orange cones they set out have the kids run up to them when the yell the magic word and they were supposed to touch to cone and run back and hit their stance. My daughter was BRAND NEW, the drill was NOT explained I sat there and watched I was one of the only parents not on my phone. The instructor yelled the word my child bolted the opposite way. She came back the word was yelled again... again my child bolted the opposite way. With NO explanation a simple "run to the cone" was not said. The instructor now is next to my child ... yells the word and he almost expected her to bolt (she tried) he grabbed her upper arm and tapped her face with two fingers right by her ear. ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!!!!!!!! I (as a professional coach even just a mother) WOULD NEVER EVER .... Grab a child OR even tap their face. I was EXTREMELY uncomfortable and even embarrassed that my child didn't understand the drill and was not explained the drill. I never came back, I kept paying but I cannot bring her back here. As a domestic violence survivor this situation made me extremely uncomfortable to speak up about. My child is 4 you NEVER grab or get physically frustrated WITH A CHILD. The instructors name is Johnny. When your payment does not go through (I keep my card locked) they call you and harass you and INSTANTLY charge your card before you even can finish your sentence!!!! Stay away!! They clearly are money hungry and CLEARLY have not had ANY safesport training.

We're regulars at the 5:30 AM Zombie Class -- yes, it's early, but 100% worth it! The atmosphere here is welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy. Everyone we've trained with has been incredibly patient, caring, and fun to roll with. The instructors are fantastic across the board -- Keith goes above and beyond, dedicating a ton of his personal time to help us grow. David is calm, patient, and excellent at breaking things down, and I've really appreciated Alex's wisdom and thoughtful insights as well. Whether you're a complete beginner or experienced practitioner, this is one of the best jiu-jitsu studios in town. I highly recommend dropping in and becoming part of the Infinite family!

My family has been with Infinite for more than 2 years now. I stopped in at a couple other BJJ…read moreschools in the area at first and I won't say anything bad about them. However, the details of instruction and the friendliness of everyone at Infinite, from the owner to beginners, is unmatched. Gustavo (owner/instructor) continues to compete and master his own craft while stressing the importance of technique over brute force to students. I appreciate this approach as an older practitioner, especially after training overseas at an MMA gym which had the opposite mentality. Gustavo is also supportive of kids and adults who want to compete and does his best to be mat-side with them at tournaments. Regarding the kids classes, I also appreciate the few minutes he spends a with them at the beginning of class talking about their day and trying to connect BJJ lessons to proper behavior off the mat.

We have been attending the Lil Samurai classes at Kovar's Martial Arts for a year now, and the…read moretransformation in our child has been incredible. If you are looking for a place that goes beyond just physical techniques, this is it. Kovar's focuses heavily on building character and self-discipline. Over the past year, we've seen a massive boost in our child's confidence, which has translated into how they carry themselves outside of the dojo. One of the most valuable aspects of the program is the emphasis on anti-bullying. The instructors don't just teach kids how to protect themselves; they teach them the importance of standing up for others and de-escalating situations with integrity. The teachers are phenomenal--they are patient, encouraging, and truly know how to engage with younger children to keep them focused while having fun. We are so grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend Kovar's to any parent looking to empower their kids!

Our kid expressed interest in learning something new and we selected the $20 two week trial. After scheduling the first session with an instructor, we were told that both parents must be there. We completed one session and the instructor tried to hard sell us on paying 6 months of instruction in advance! We were not allowed to attend the next paid for session until we made a decision, even after telling them that we wanted to wait for the two weeks. I didn't realize we had paid $20 to sit through a time share-like sales presentation. Be aware if you are considering this operation.

Innovative Mixed Martial Arts (IMMA) is simply amazing!! My two kids are attending classes…read morecurrently and my third child has done private lessons with Sensei Nunneley in the past. We love this school for the following reasons: (1) The curriculum is a mixture of various martial arts disciplines. You get the best techniques of all the various types martial arts. (2) My kids' self-confidence has increased exponentially since they started training at IMMA. My kids see themselves as athletes, disciplined individuals and leaders. (3) The teachers at IMMA are so patient, caring, kind and make martial arts fun! (4) The school curriculum is not only about martial arts, but they also talk about other life skills and values such as leadership, friendship, problem solving and self discipline. (5) They offer a variety of classes at various times of day. (6) There are no hidden fees such as extra belt fees or testing fees. You pay one flat monthly rate only. There are no contracts. I could go on and on about how amazing this school is. We've been a part of this school for many years now and we've been nothing but pleased. I unequivocally recommend Innovative Mixed Martial Arts for your martial arts needs. It's more than just a martial arts school, it's family. -K.K.

He walked…read morearound the block in his Gi with his Nerf gun, ready to take on any bad guys lurking around corners and hiding behind bushes. Marinoble's offers a variety of instruction in different disciplines! We went in and told them exactly what we wanted, and did not want, for the first few months and they were able to accommodate us with everything we needed. We love our instruction here so far, we look forward to going, and are sad to leave. My littlest is sleeping in his Gi uniform right now. Marinoble's offers such a variety of classes it will accommodate any child and adult. The facility is huge! They have five separate "floors" to instruct various classes simultaneously; including a cage, a boxing ring, a knife throwing center. This means parents can work out in their own class while the kids are having fun learning in another part of the gym. They offer MMA, Kickboxing, JuJitsu, Submission Grappling, BOK FU, Weapons Disarming, and traditional Boxing by actively competing trainers at both the amateur and professional level. My only requests would be large fans, please. The room smells of many sweating people. Okay, not major BO or anything, just man sweat. Of course, the women smell wonderful when we sweat [wink, wink] which can only help deodorize it so much! And the some of the equipment could be maintained better, but it's minor stuff, like having enough properly pumped and working speed bags. **So this is what sold me! The prices are reasonable and they offer family discounts off both the enrollment and tuition anywhere from 25% - 50% off. Then the owner, Dave Marinoble, offered free passes good for a few days of classes to try it out. When I asked when the days would begin, the manager, Kim, told me not to worry about it; to take my time sampling the various classes to help make a better decision. No pressure, wonderful. I brought the boys in and they happily welcomed them and gave them semiprivate instruction to catch up with the group. The looks on their faces said it all. The instructors were so happy and fun while they taught, my boys were grinning ear to ear the entire time. When they finished, their first question was, "When can we come back"? Another good sign! Happy, nurturing teachers, great management and the owner is awesome too. He teaches many of the classes. He has more energy than I've seen any person have! Maybe he can lend me some for my "tired parent" days? Instead, they got me working out in the back room and even I had a blast. After the first day, I told Kim, "We're sold! Give us a few more days to choose which classes", which was fine. For every age 5-85 and every skill level. They train active competitors, kids, soccer moms and everyone in between. The gym is female friendly. The variety of classes and times makes it easy to get a butt-kicking workout in every day. The coaching is fantastic! So far I've had Kim and Abrahm, and the boys have had Tiffany? and Dave Marinoble, plus a few others. We've liked them all! **I strongly recommend checking this place out for fitness, self defense training, and competitive sport, for an adult or a child! We're having lots of fun so far. More updates to come....
