It's $149.00 a month, but worth the money. Everyone including the students (ages 10+ for the adult+teen classes) are very nice and treat you like your part of the family. They even give rewards for attendance and good grades or achievements in school! If you are going to sign up yourself or a child/friend or something for karate, this is the place to go!

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.

It's completely a scam. We have been to other great dojo's and this is a money grubbing scam at almost $200 a month. The grandmaster couldn't even bother himself to meet my spouse when we first started. The room smelled of cigarettes that left us feeling ill every time we left. Wasn't even a concern for them, just as long as they got paid. I have never experienced a martial arts place like this. I'm warning everyone to not waste their money there. We have experienced so much better, this place is the bottom of the barrel.

Trey Courtney is an excellent instructor. For the junior students, he breaks down each belt level into a reasonable number of techniques that they have to learn. It builds both skill and confidence in the students. It has been a great experience for my son. I joined his adult classes recently and am now getting back in shape, doing something I enjoy. Trey challenges you while making it fun. I highly recommend that you consider 4 Kicks Martial Arts if you're looking to get into the sport for yourself or your children.

However, i really hate their payment policies - the woman co-owner who sits upfront is very pushy and can get really grouchy when she tries to get customers sign up for expensive unnecessary 3-year unlimited plan. No, I don't need it, I don't want it, I am not interested in a slightly cheaper 3-year plan either. I am not interested in signing up 3-year contracts with a taekwondo school, that's ridiculous. We like taekwondo but don't like that you jerk up the price each time i need to renew the contract. They have lost a few teachers and the classes have become very crowded and in addition they are jerking up the price - no thank you, we'll go elsewhere. Very pushy and unpleasant to deal with co-owner, just like a used car salesman, she'll be trying to sell you things you don't want.
