As soon as I got to The Dojo I knew I'd found the Martial Arts school I'd been looking for. This…read moreplace is fun and friendly, and they have quietly turned out champions for years. Everyone made me feel welcome, and the training is extremely effective. It doesn't take long in the entry level Skills Lab to build striking and ground skills that are designed for someone who might really need to use them - in the cage, or on the street. The classes are fast-paced and I always end up getting a great workout almost without realizing it. The Art is definitely a fusion - Muay Thai, BJJ, Wrestling, Boxing, Catch, Silat, Kali come in to play (to name a few.) I love the Sila Yoga. The Dojo is the only place in the US you can learn it, and it is so different from any other style of yoga I've tried! It definitely builds strength as well as flexibility, and I love the way it uses the animal movements and postures. These guys do a lot of outdoor training too, and classes at the park or seminars in the mountains have been some of my favorite training here. Last but not least, The Dojo is the regional training center for C.O.B.R.A. Self-Defense Systems. C.O.B.R.A Self Defense's scenario based and police academy style training really set it apart as far as effectiveness and how simple it is to apply for anyone. It's so important to have a real, tested self defense program that any age or experience level can really use when they need it. Highly recommend!

Classes are held daily at both locations including morning, afternoon, and evening with gi, no gi, women's classes, and kickboxing, making it easy to fit around work and school schedules. The professors and coaches here are all welcoming and are skilled at not only doing jiu jitsu themselves but ALSO coaching jiu jitsu (even to kids which is a talent in itself!).

I've trained in Kickboxing and Muay Thai off and on for almost 10 years and I have never seen a Coach love what they do as much as Erin! Anyone can teach something, but not just anyone can COACH. A coach has to LOVE the sport, and have an obsession with studying the sport... competing experience is always a plus too... Erin simply has it all. You can literally feel his love for the sport, and his students , radiate as he coaches. Jen and Sam are some more great people you will see here and are truly a foundation of the gym as well. You will immediately feel at home, Jen and Sam have such a Papa and Mama Bear spirit. As if the coaching wasn't already enough, you couldn't meet better gym managers/owners than Jen and Sam. I'm a Personal Trainer, so I have been through dozens and dozens of gyms ....and even though this is a fighting gym, there is absolutely no ego and no egos tolerated and these two make sure to keep it that way! Not to be a corn-dog but I am truly grateful I have found this gym! I could go on and on!

She also didn't have much confidence and wouldn't stand up for herself which left her susceptible to being bullied at times. Needless to say, it was hard to watch as a father because I felt helpless. Less than a year into training with Proffessor Anthony, her personality had gone through the roof with confidence. By that time she had a solid Jiu-Jitsu foundation, and had even begun to compete and win in tournaments! And it all started to show big in her personal life, personal relationships, and just overall happiness. Today my daughter continues to thrive, battle, and win Jiu-Jitsu tournaments! She is still that sweet girl that she always was, but in addition is now very proud and confident. She no longer has problem making friends and now quickly and easily stands up for herself and others. The discipline and confidence of learning Jiu-Jitsu has also spilled over into school as she's a straight A student. I can't stress how much I recommend having a child join Motive. Just recently we signed up our 6 year old son and I look forward to proudly watch him grow into this journey as well. Professor Anthony is awesome with the kids! He has a great balance of fun, and learning a real effective martial art that you will keep with you for life. For the competitive minded, Proffesor Anthony encourages optional tournaments for his students where he prepares and coaches them for succes. Team Motive has often finished tournaments in the top 5 out of 45 plus schools. Words can't describe how proud I am to watch my daughter compete and perform complex submissions that I've watched pro fighters in the UFC do! 4 years ago I never would have even imagined her doing the things she does now!!!
