I highly recommend Ronin Combatives.

We were looking for a Christmas gift for our 6 and 4 year old boys that wasn't a video game or…read moresomething they would get tired of in 20 minutes. I think we struck gold. We are only 3 lessons in, but so far, we are very happy with Master Fry's Taekwondo. Since it's winter, it's a great activity to get the boys energy out and gives us something to do to not go stir crazy at home. The classes are only 30 minutes, which is just right for them. And, they end in time for dinner. So, in terms of your family rhythm, it does not disrupt much at all. Then, there is the training itself. Master Fry is wonderful and has over 20 years experience. So, he knows how to train and get a bunch of crazy little kids in line. Besides the excellent exercise and physical skills they are learning, the boys are also surrounded in an environment of self-discipline, respect and honor. Fantastic! Nice to hear your boys have to say, "Yes Sir!" or "Yes Maam!" and then come home and have to make their beds to pass their white belt test! We had some friends who have used this place for their family, and it is a great group activity. Only 3 lessons in, but kids are asking if they can keep doing it already. This one is a winner.

Renshi Foster does a wonderful job of balancing discipline with fun. His passion for teaching is obvious and it has carried over to his leadership team members. If you're looking for a traditional martial arts school I highly recommend coming in and watching a class and meeting the instructors.

This is the perfect place to help your little one learn respect, winning and losing, listening skills, and working well with others. My two rambunctious boys have improved in their ability to follow directions as well as their understanding that they won't always win or be the best but to keep at it. I'm so glad I bit the bullet and gave it a try. If you're curious but not sure if you or your child will like it, they offer the opportunity to try a class for free without any commitment. So you don't have to sign up, or put down a credit card. They offer monthly payments or you can pay in a lump sum for six months and get a great discount. The classes are unlimited, so you can go as much or little as you desire. Grasshoppers have three 30 minute classes each week (because at that age they don't have the attention span for much more). Remember that this is for kids and adults of all ages and all body types. This places operates like a family and that really makes a difference in helping the students feel comfortable. They're awesome!

It was a matter of days before our oldest came home with bite marks on several occasions, in addition to other injuries at the hands of other students. Most recently he was hit in the face that resulted in a swollen handprint on the side of his face, and kicked in the face during story time the very next day which split his lip open. Our youngest - 18 months at the time - was repeatedly bit in his classroom, leaving very defined and swollen bite marks, some of which broke the skin. He was scratched across his face and neck, and given a black eye by another child who hit him with a toy. Several bites and other injuries went unnoticed by teachers who had no idea our child was injured when we inquired about what had lead to the incidents. These incidents happened in the matter of 3 weeks. The administration of this school is defiant in their approach to ensuring the safety of kids in their classroom. We repeatedly asked for changes to be made to prevent our kids from getting hurt, only to be met with opposition and called liars by the assistant director Kaitlyn Japikse and owner Mark Reinhart. The teachers who assisted us were promptly reassigned to different rooms that were not of their choosing out of retaliation from the owner. Mark and his staff do not follow any disciplinary action plans, document the children who cause injury and refuse to remove kids from the room due to their belief it does not reinforce positive behaviors and violent behavior is "developmentally / age appropriate". Mark will also tell you to take your kids to a different school / disenroll you if you do not agree with their approach that severe injuries in their classrooms are developmentally appropriate and the result of normal childhood behavior. The disgraceful treatment of families by Mark goes against everything this school states they advocate for and we would not recommend this school to anyone.

We were so excited to start our boys at Goddard School. Until about 6 months in for our first and 3…read moremonths in with our second, we were asked to leave the school. Our childern were getting hurt almost daily. They were bit, hit, scratched by other students. Our youngest was only 18 months old and couldn't communicate, most of the bites were going unnoticed by the school and when asked about it, the teachers or administrators couldn't tell us what happened. Incident reports were not filed and the biting students parents were not notified. We were also told that the other parents wouldn't be told about the incident unless the skin was broken, because they didn't want that student to have a negative connotation with school. How does my child feel when they are afraid to go to school because they are getting hurt by those that are supposed to be their "friends"? Our last day there, my oldest was kicked in the face left with a busted lip during circle time because the other child tripped over my child's legs. And the aggressor was just left to continue this behavior because according to the administrator, these children do not have impulse control and are unable to understand their actions. Meanwhile they are potty training these 3-4 year olds? When asking for help and assistance time and time again, we were the ones that were asked to leave. The administration continually asked us for our suggestions on how to handle the situations and while we are not the professionals in early childhood education, recommended additional resources and were immediately fought with talks of budgets and how that's not possible. The owner offered to refund us our money so we left (granted we paid a fee to get on the waiting list for a year for this program) we were not refunded our fee, our refund was "prorated" in a way that benefited only the owner. The ratios for "student to teacher" is insane and leads to a chaotic, stressful environment for both the teachers and the students. The owner retaliates against any teacher (and parents) who feel differently than him. He moves teachers to other rooms they do not want to be in or suggests they leave. He has blocked us from the Facebook business page so we are not able to leave reviews there.
