As a 60 years old, I was tentative in exploring Jujitsu. After completing a months trial, attending…read moreover 40 and beginner adult classes I found the culture is very supportive of some one my age. Additionally, the staff is very friendly and helpful. In the classes, we always start with a warm up. Then a discussion of the intent of the session. Usually there a a break to regroup on what the professor is observing, and discussion of points of emphasis. I also am impressed with all my training partners, especially higher belts i have worked with, having open discussions of what is working, effective and not. Of course the professors are always available for questions and clarification. On a personal note, I am very active 60 year old. I found my core strength is improving and other areas in need of strength and conditioning are exposed for me to work on. I try go get to classes 15-30 minutes early just to loosen up.

We have been going to Pattens Martial Arts for just over 3 months now and have nothing but good things to say. I did read some other reviews regarding the contract. Yes there is a contract, and it lasts for a year. However Jason is the type of person to work with you if you give sufficient notice. He mentioned to me that if I need to quit for any reason to give him 30 days notice. Not that we have any intention of quitting, it's nice to know that going in. My son James absolutely loves class. It was hard at first for him to form to the structure, but once he did, we noticeably saw differences with him. He shows confidence and loves the challenge of getting to the next level. Jason gives you the first month free and that is to see if your child will like it and be a good fit. I knew from the first class this was something we wanted to do long term. Again, I strongly recommend this to anyone with kids over the age of 4.

I've found this training invaluable both physically and spiritually. Jim's teaching style is active, hands on, and blends a balanced combination of martial artistry and intellectual thought exercises with physical acumen. His broad background in military defense and in multiple martial modalities yields an extremely unique student experience and I cannot recommend him enough.

My son is a 9-year-old with ADHD and I'm a 42-year-old woman. The fact that both of us can have such a great experience at the same dojo is a testament to the sensei's expertise and attitude, and to the Buckner family. My son has learned hard work pays off and nothing is given, only earned. As a parent, these are invaluable life lessons that have helped my son with his attitude and demeanor at home and at school. I've enjoyed helping more fit and healthy since joining, and doing the classes together with my kiddo has been such a great way for us to bond and share the experience. I've taken martial arts since I was a child, and I've trained in three different styles, but Buckner is the best Dojo I have ever attended. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Buckner Martial Arts is not for everyone…read more If you want to protect your child from all risk, then BMA is not for you. Life, however, has many risks. At BMA students are taught how to assess and manage risk in a well-supervised environment, providing them with a valuable life skill. If you do not want a teacher to correct your child's behavior, then BMA is not for you. Learning respect for others is what brings communities together. At BMA students are taught to respect their instructors and their fellow students. If you want to keep your child from interacting with people of other beliefs from different cultures, then BMA is not for you. In diversity there is strength. At BMA students with many backgrounds come together and learn the same techniques, in the same way, side by side. If you want your child to receive the same award as a child who works twice as hard, then BMA is not for you. Hard work and discipline are the foundations for excellence. At BMA students are all offered the same opportunity to work hard and excel. If you never want to see your child fail, then BMA is not for you. Learning how to handle failure is a normal part of life. At BMA students learn how to fall and how to get back up. Not every student will have the same experience at BMA, but every student will have the same opportunity. My children earned their black belts at BMA, and I believe their lives were made immeasurably better for it.
