I started at Seven Star about 6 months ago, and it's been a complete life-changer for me. I was…read morecoming in as an adult beginner into the Hop Gar classes, never having done martial arts before, and was astounded at the support and care shown for me from day 1. Sifu Chris is a wonderful man and mentor; working to build a solid foundation for me as I grow in skill, and providing the reinforcement and positive push to keep me moving forward. Everyone in the group(s) are really nice and supportive too - and there are several different programs that have a nice mix of people too. I would highly recommend Seven Star as a place to begin your training. It's inspired me to branch out to learn more and join other classes, and has changed how I think about martial arts and my own abilities.

We heard about this studio from our local high school wrestling coach who has a 2nd degree BJJ black belt. HIS instructor learned from Prof Godoi, who's not only impressive with a 6th degree BJJ black belt and multiple IBJJF championships, but also a very warm, engaging, and encouraging instructor to our 6 yo gray belt son. We're excited for our son to continue learning from Prof. Godoi and fellow G13 students and instructors.

I was looking for high-quality instruction, a great community, and convenient class times, and G13 exceeded my expectations in all three areas. Professor Roberto Godoi, the founder, has an incredible amount of knowledge and is a fantastic teacher. All teachers at the school are some of the best I've ever encountered. The lessons are structured and easy to digest, and the community is welcoming and supportive. There are classes in the evenings and early mornings to accommodate busy schedules. The school is also welcoming to women and features a safe and clean environment. Overall, I highly recommend G13 for anyone looking for a top-notch Jiu Jitsu school in Raleigh.

I signed up for the 6 week challenge and decided one day later that I wanted to back out of it. The…read moreinitial meeting was a manipulation to get people to sign up and pay them a check of over 500$. Per NC law, you are allowed to back out of this kind of agreement within 3 days of the initial sign up. I tried to back out and was stonewalled on the phone and subsequently treated with hostility by Molotov's wife, Greer when I went into the club in person. They refused to refund me and I ended up just cutting my losses rather than fight them on it. I have no doubt they are excellent Krav Maga instructors but if you prefer to spend your limited time on this earth meeting good people rather than snakes and bullies, you should consider a different club.
