The school teaches four Korean martial arts styles: Taekwondo, Judo, Hapkido, and Sword. It has a before and after school program for kids, as well as summer, winter, and spring break day camps. There are numerous social events that help the students, families, and staff connect with each other, and additional special training opportunities are available. I earned my black belt in Hapkido here, and now my son is learning Taekwondo. We both love OSA!

Not only has it been great for our physical fitness, but it has been awesome for the mental challenge and the bonding that comes with a family participating in the same activity. The Professor and Coaches do an exceptional job training the kids and keeping them safe. I would say one of their strongest attributes is the way they pour words of encouragement into the kids (and the adults), helping to build their confidence and self-esteem. I have always felt safe attending classes and always look forward to going. (Highly recommend doing this with your spouse, if possible!)

He is extremely knowledgeable and explains the moves clearly. What really stands out about Coach Vu is his inclusivity. He goes out of his way to make sure every kid participates. My son has physical and mobility challenges, and even with a full class, Coach Vu takes time to work with him. He breaks down techniques so my son can keep up, learn, and participate with the other students. This studio also has coaches, who are the advanced students, walk around and watch the less experienced, younger kids to make sure no one gets hurt -- a level of attention we haven't seen at other jiujitsu studios. All the coaches are so supportive and patient when teaching the younger kids. Towards the end of each class, the kids participate in super fights, which get them comfortable sparring different partners. Coach Vu teaches them the tournament point system so they understand how to win matches. I highly recommend this academy to any family looking for a supportive, well-run jiujitsu program.

Battlefield Jiu Jitsu is an exceptional school with a world class training program. One of the…read morebest decisions that I have made as a parent is enrolling my children at Battlefield Jiu Jitsu two years ago. Coach Jason as well as his coaching staff are excellent at teaching school age children and challenging them to be their best. The class incorporates the right amount of structure, discipline, physical fitness, and fun. There is always a good number of coaches on the mats so that each child can receive additional personalized guidance. Students are evaluated individually and promoted accordingly you won't get an eleven-year black belt here everything is earned not given. In addition to the awesome training environment the coaches are amazing human beings. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu has fundraisers and donates to charitable causes. The annual Christmas party is something that all the students look forward to every year. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu personifies the essence of martial arts and it shows in the coaching staff all the way down to the lowest belt student. If you are considering enrolling yourself or your children in a martial arts program look no further......... get down here and talk to coach Jason and start your 30-day trial ASAP

Took my 5- and 8-year-old to Six Blades Jiu Jitsu Nova for a free trial. The environment is…read moreno-nonsense and clearly built around serious training-- which as an Army veteran is something I personally respect and felt at home in, especially given the military-style banter. That said, I didn't find the tone ideal for younger kids. There was language and phrasing ("kick his ass!") that I didn't feel was appropriate for children, and I was disappointed by comments made toward boys being beaten by girls ("You'll walk home if you lose to a girl")--not exactly the message I want either of my kids internalizing. The instructors are absolutely skilled and committed, but they treat the kids like mini adults, which may work for some families, but not ours. We ended up going with another gym that's more youth-focused, closer to home, and offers more affordable memberships with military and family discounts. I think Six Blades would be great for adult students or older teens looking for high-level instruction, but it just wasn't the right fit for our young kids. Edited for further context: For further context, what the owner describes as "jovial" banter included quotes from coaches during the kids' training session: * "Kick his ass!" * "Whoop his ass!" * "You better not lose to a girl!" * "If you lose to a girl, you're walking home!" * "Pay attention, dammit!" "Banter" implies the kids could respond with witty comebacks--but what would they realistically say to grown men in a position of authority? They simply complied. That said, I truly appreciate the owner's openness to constructive feedback. It makes me feel more confident in my decision as a parent. For now, we'll stick with the more "budget" and kid-friendly option -- at least until my children are old enough to clap back at demeaning and misogynistic comments with confidence and humor that comes with maturity.

I am thankful that I found the Yamasaki Springfield location. I tried out several different schools in the area and finally settled on Yamasaki because it felt like the perfect fit between the kids and adults programs. My kids train both judo and jiu jitsu at the school and both programs are great. Coach Mo is a great judo coach and they have a dozen or so black belts able to assist the kids classes on a regular basis. My son's take downs and standup have improved dramatically since training judo there. Professor Neto does a great job teaching both the kids classes and the adults class. The kids classes are the perfect balance of discipline and fun. Neto explains the various techniques with an extremely high level of detail and thoroughness. The adult classes have a good mix of beginners and advanced students. There are several black belts that attend class and can lead the class if Neto is away. The academy is air conditioned and comfortable in the summer months and Neto is a stickler keeping the mats clean.
