I was Training at Yamasaki at the time and went to the free sessions and open mat at standard. I was struggling with mental health issues at the time and Greg and Noah and the rest of the crew were as patient as anyone could be. This gym is an Extremely skillful gym. I've spoken to Greg multiple times about jitsu in general and I have not spoken to anyone nor listened to any YouTube video with that level of intellect about the sport. Thanks for being patient with me, and the time invested in me as I never paid Greg a dollar between the 7 free sessions they offer and open mat, but I learned priceless knowledge. Hearing Greg tell the story about how a prince of Saudi along with the Gracies started the ADCC was awesome. Thank you all, and sorry for any misunderstandings while I struggled with mental health issues at the time! God bless. OSS.

Master Jordan is AMAZING and she knows how to get the best out of each of her students individually. I also love that she focuses on important life skills for children and young adults. Tiger Masters has definitely become my second home and I love that it also feels like family. If you are looking to build your confidence, become more disciplined, or just simply want to be physically fit, then Tiger Masters is the place for you!

My son started in the Tiny Tigers class when he was just over 4 years old. We've been with Tiger…read moreMasters about 1 year and he's now in the regular class, about to move up to the next belt. We love Tiger Masters because Master Jordan is truly dedicated to teaching Tae Kwon Do. She emphasizes discipline, hard work, respect, and getting it done right. My son is not exactly an athlete but this keeps him active, and we've seen the difference that going to TKD has done for him: he's more agile, has more stamina, and has confidence in his body. I always say he has a love-hate relationship with TKD because it is his hard work, and it's not all fun and games. But when we drive by on an off day, he always wants to go see Master Jordan. And even when he's at school waiting in line, he will start doing his TKD forms. TKD is not just a hobby for him, it's starting to become ingrained in his daily routine! And to me that's priceless. Interestingly, I was introduced to Tiger Masters randomly by a nurse at the hospital, who spoke very highly of Master Jordan. That nurse's child was college age, started with Master Jordan around age 8 or 10, and she was extremely happy with the result, and spoke highly of Master Jordan even after so many years. What I especially love about Master Jordan is that although the classes are in a group setting, she actually knows each child individually. She knows their strengths and weaknesses. She knows when to be hard or soft with them. Ms. Lucia is the Office Manager/Administrator, and she keeps everything organized. We've had bad experiences with Masters that don't have administrative support and everything just falls to pieces. So I can't say enough good things about Ms. Lucia as well; she is the glue that makes the school work! A note on price: pricing is pretty comparable to other martial arts schools -- I know because I visited all of them! We are very thankful to have found Tiger Masters!

We have had a wonderful experience with Dynamite Gymnastics. Our preschool aged son has been going…read moreto Dynamite for the last 8 months or so, and loves it. Although gymnastics isn't always the first sport that comes to mind for young boys, it's great for body awareness, coordination, and flexibility (which will be helpful in any other sport that they may want to participate). The classes at the younger ages are also pretty mixed with boys and girls. If taught properly, it also provides structure for social interactions--taking turns, sitting attentively and approaching tasks with clear intent, etc. Our son is constantly jumping and rolling around the house/playground practicing skills he learned that week and is excited for class every week. We've also had a recent birthday party there and will also do the summer camp soon. Here is a summary of our experiences so far: 1) Facilities and safety--clean, well organized, and most importantly, safely set up. For the preschoolers, the obstacle areas are regularly reconfigured for new challenges. The equipment is also very well maintained. There is also a comfortable waiting area for parents and plenty of clear viewing areas (and screens). This is for the Dynamite main location (there is also the Agility Center and Bolt Parkour next door which is part of the same cluster which also seem fine). 2) Owner/management--Michelle is the owner and is wonderful. She spent time discussing what we were looking for there and then matched us with the right coach which made all of the difference in a successful start (and the best coaches to start with--she was spot on in her advice). 3) Coaches/classes--excellent. Our son started with Ky, who has a lot of experience and an energetic personality that is welcoming to the kids. She provided just the right type of nurturing as well as attention to detail and positive feedback (and social structure discipline--waiting turns, etc.). Our son has started a new time/class with Robert K and he's been wonderful too. Very kind with the kids, is very safety conscious, and notices little details (and demonstrates skills very well). Our son was challenged right away and learned a lot while having fun (while being encouraged with positive feedback as he worked on techniques). We have also seen other coaches come over to help when a child is having trouble with a technique and look out for each other's classes. 4) Culture--we have had many nice interactions with other families, and the children there are so polite and aware (e.g., holding the doors for someone else, not blocking the pictures that a parent of a new child is taking during class, etc.). The culture of both the staff and other families there is one of teamwork (there isn't the toxic feel that some gyms or competitive sports have, yet there is certainly skill and discipline t here--just the right balance of work, safety, and fun). 5) Birthday parties--great experience without having to worry about weather. The parents were able to relax and the children could run around in a safe environment with responsible coaches there (and try out pretty cool equipment). Definitely do the inflatable add-on--that was a hit (huge inflatable animal themed obstacle course/tunnel that the children loved). Our son's school has coaches who visit and have the kids do different obstacle courses, sports, and physical challenges. More than one coach has asked if our son takes classes in something because he's doing skills well ahead of his age group. A very large part is due to the classes he's taking at Dynamite (we've notice very solid and steady improvement this entire year). If you're looking for an athletic outlet for your child, then I highly recommend the Dynamite Gymnastics Center and coaches for a safe, fun, and properly challenging gymnastics home.

Every gymnastics center that my son or daughter has been to in the past has given stickers or…read morestamps to kids at the end of class. This is the first gymnastics center that I've ever seen actually deny a child a stamp as a consequence for not behaving. I am not against consequences if a child misbehaves, but this action to me honestly seemed like an easy way out for a gym teacher as opposed to either working with the child or connecting with the parent first. My 4 year old daughter was left crying at the end of the class, and she no longer felt as comfortable in the class from that point on. We have since changed to another gym that does not provide stamps or stickers but rather (from my observation) focuses solely on teaching the children, making sure they're having fun, and correcting bad behavior as soon as they see it. My daughter did have some fun times at this gymnastics center, and it is unfortunate that we had to move to another center. I hope this review helps encourage a better way to using (or not using) stamps / stickers for kids.

I should start by saying that I spent 23 years with the same dojo and Sensei back in my home state…read moreso it's taken me 5 years to find a place that I could let my bias go a bit and give it a shot. I have three kids (12, 9, 6) and I really want them to experience the benefits that martial arts gave me. We discovered Master Sies and his karate school through a demonstration at my kid's International night. I could immediately tell that Master Sies's students were getting quality instruction and having fun. We agreed to go check out the studio. That was about a year and a half ago probably and my kids have been members of the school ever since. They all love it and are really benefiting from the art. The karate instructors there are amazing. Every single one of them are absolutely meant to help kids learn the art of karate. They are funny, happy, compassionate and more importantly good at teaching. It starts at the top because Master Sies is very impressive. Not only does he have the pedigree to boot (7-time world kickboxing champ) but he is also a wonderful instructor that really empowers kids to keep going. The school has class options 7 days a week so there's an option for every busy family out there. The instruction is perfect for all kids and the benefits of karate are unparalleled. You have to see your child's smile and confidence grow after their first belt-test and they break their very first board. If you live within driving distance to Olney I would make this a karate school to check out if you are considering getting your kids involved. I literally spent the first four years we lived here visiting different karate schools. I took numerous classes and met many of the area's karate instructors. I was extremely picky obviously (for good reason though) but I think my patience worked out. Ultimately, this was about getting my kids into karate and in a studio that I would be proud of, and I found it in Master Method. I even joined for a little while but my many years of sports injuries proved to be too much for me. That being said, this also is a good studio for adults to learn the art. Plus they even have amazing kick boxing and Zumba classes for parents that just have fitness goals they are looking to achieve. Side note: Olney is a nice area so it makes the trips worthwhile. Lots of stores and restaurants but with more of smaller town feeling.
