My sons have been in karate classes at Elite Dojo Brookfield for three years. My sons benefit not…read moreonly from learning self defense and discipline, but the program also helps them with their confidence and focus. Sensei and his team of instructors give each child individual attention to help them learn and grow into productive citizens! After class I often see the leadership team helping students and talking with parents. I know my children are in a safe and positive environment, and are enriched each week at their classes. My sons love it and so do I. Classes are inside of Elite Brookfield. You don't have to be a member to enjoy the great space in the lobby or watch your kids during class in the dojo. They have great specials for newcomers.

My sons first day he broke a wood board, which provided a sense of confidence. The students live by the honor code that is instilled in them. They are very respectful and disciplined. The Sensi and his team do a great job and have such a positive attitude. There is a sense of community which is wonderful. Every belt promotion and award is earned here. Definitely recommend this Dojo.

I've been to a few different Tai Chi studios over the years and I've enjoyed them all. But I have…read moreto say that Tai Chi at East/West Connection has been, thus far, the most enjoyable and informational. If you're looking for Tai Chi instruction then you most likely already know it is an 'internal', meditative martial art, as is Qi Gung, and others. Often, I've found, the internal is over-looked in typical Tai Chi classes. Not the case at East/West, where both outer and inner forms are taught. Michael, the instructor, has decades of experience and it shows. The price is right, the instruction is top shelf, so if you're ready for the experience, this is the place. P.S. If you wanna get some great 'external' martial art training, i.e. Okinawan style karate, I've heard this is also the place to go!

From the moment we walked through the door, we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff and students went out of their way to introduce themselves, offer assistance, and make sure Christian felt comfortable and included. Because we were snowed in and unable to fly out for several days, we were fortunate to visit the academy twice. Each visit reinforced our positive impression. Our son shared that he felt very good training there and appreciated the depth of knowledge and expertise among the instructors and students. We are truly looking forward to returning in the future. If anyone is searching for a Jiu-Jitsu academy where they or their child can grow, develop, and feel supported, we would absolutely recommend Open Guard BJJ. It has all the qualities of a great training home.

I have two photos. The first is my son at age 4 before his world was turned upside down by bullies…read moreat school. He had a speech delay and super shy. A sweet kid but no verbal thus no social skills. Eventually he wound up being the victim of bullying. Sadly, that smiling kid became troubled and super nervous. He didn't tell us until much later what had happened. The second photo is self explanatory. We enrolled him at Crossover over a year ago. Not to learn how to fight but to learn how to control fear. To calm his nerves. I know because I took martial arts when I was a youth. I didn't use it to fight. It taught me how to think during stressful situations, whether it's an exam or a slot route in football. Nervousness is an enemy that must be dealt with. Shortly after enrollment my son was diagnosed with mild Aspergers. It's mostly a social awkwardness issue. His grades are solid. His love of reading and science is tops. He gets so nervous though with kids his age. The bullying experience probably accelerated his isolation response. His autism also makes him ripe to be pushed around. We told Professor Bob at Crossover and he is the best coach ever. He is amazing with the kids. Teaching both community respect and self respect. Ian is a better person even with his social challenges. He is less nervous in crowds. He still has an awkwardness but it's less nerve racking for him. The improvement was a matter of confidence. A confidence that the world is not an evil place that is built to torture him. It's a place to explore and if possible to explore with friends. As a parent, I love this place as much as I love my son's doctors. Great job Professor Bob and Crossover as a whole!
