After school program do not do this unless you want to pay 600 in equipment. They won't allow used…read moreequipment but your child can use nothing and risk injury. This is a scam if your kid does not like the program and even if they breech the agreement you still have to pay out the full tear. They have refused to respond to any if my concerns. There is not any area for children to sit at tables and do homework they sit on the floor in the audience area which is very small and crowded. This is not a real after school program it is one if the worst decisions I've made. We have tried to stick it out but it's been very unpleasant my concerns were never even addressed by the program leaders. Join if you like giving money away and If you don't mind a child in tears at least once a week. Also plan to find alternative care for many days as this does not operate like a traditional after school program. I won't give all details as I don't want to trash this place but I do want to warn others it advertising as after school but not typical program you would find treat it ass any other sales preditor program they want $$$.

Training in Muay Thai at Black Belt USA has been an incredible, life-changing experience in only…read morethe month or so that I've been training there. Each class is a comprehensive workout in itself, consisting of yoga-like stretching, cardio, pad training, focus on technique, and circuit training at the end of most classes. Dr. and Master King have completely dedicated their lives to this studio and to being absolute experts in all that they teach. What most stands out about training here is the culture. From day one, there's nothing intimidating, macho, or uninviting about being here. Students old and new are genuinely excited to welcome you into the Black Belt USA family. I have trained martial arts in a number of other locations and styles, and I can say that Muay Thai at BBUSA is the absolute elite choice.

The class was easy to follow with great, hands-on practice for real-world self-defense situations. The trainers were knowledgeable and showed us a variety of techniques to stay safe on our own.

When I first visited the dojo the dojo cho, Weiner Sensei, answered all the questions I had about practicing Aikido at his dojo; as well as the, late, chief instructor Main Sensei sat with me the entire class sharing his insights about practicing Aikido and answered my questions. This first experience has been consistent. I have enjoyed my curiosity and eagerness respected and matched to the appropriate level of my studying. This is a safe and friendly place to practice Aikido, to learn self-defense, as well as pursue personal growth.

We are on our second week with Master O and all I can say is this Dojo DESERVES way more visibility…read morethan other martial arts studios. Master O and Lyndsey are such rockstars. They are running their business while taking care of their littles. They care about their business but they also care for their students and their students' respective families. They understand family life and they are fully aware of the current economy that we are living in. I inquired at other martial arts studios around Ballantyne and I have to tell you they charge thousands of dollars and they require a year commitment. At Master O's its NOT required to have a year commitment. It's month to month. Also, if the unforeseeable happens, all you need to do is give them a two weeks notice to pause or cancel your membership. I AM SO IMPRESSED with this Dojo. My daughter loves it so much. She looks forward to going to class 3 times a week. My daughter is shy and she has the tendency to be bullied because she doesn't know how to stand up for herself and I am confident that Master O will help her get out of shell and equip her with the proper skills to stand up to any aggressors. Master O has a promotion right now where your child can try a month of martial arts for only $24. You read that right!!! $24!!! A month is a sufficient time to determine if this dojo is for your child or not. After our first day, I already knew we will be with Master O for a while. The aura in the dojo is so light and it has a family vibe that you just feel so comfortable to be in. As soon as you step in the building, you will feel welcomed like a family. I cant say enough good things about this dojo. You gotta experience it yourself. REGISTER! You wont regret it.
