My son trained at Enlisted Nine last night and this gym was amazing. We live 1.5 hours away but the…read moretrip was well worth it. We have traveled and trained at approx. 30-40 gyms over the years, Enlisted Nine tops the list. What we liked the best was that each technique was demonstrated and Colton showed what to do if you were doing it for points, self defense or combat basically giving three variations of each technique. No other school we have been to had an instructor break it down this way. So no matter why you were there learning BJJ you could use it for your discipline. The gym was clean and all the staff and students were friendly. The gym had a family feel but let me say they WORK. My son was whooped after class. Will definitely make Enlisted Nine our home. Tim

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE - DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR CHILDREN…read moreI rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to warn other parents about the summer camp at iKik Taekwondo. I tried to give this place a fair shot, but it ended up being the absolute worst experience my 5-year-old child has ever gone through. Several major issues occurred during his brief time here: Medical Neglect & Cruelty: My son got a cut on his foot during camp, and the staff flat-out refused to give him a band-aid. Instead of helping a hurt child, they handled the situation so poorly that he was left feeling ostracized by the other kids. Deceptive Pricing: They are incredibly dishonest and deceiving about their prices and hidden fees. What you are quoted is not what you end up dealing with. Appalling Management: When I tried to address these issues, the manager actually yelled at me and blamed my 5-year-old child for her own mistakes and the staff's incompetence. The lack of empathy, basic care, and professionalism at this establishment is staggering. A business catering to young children should offer a safe, nurturing environment--not one where a child is denied basic first aid and screamed at by management. Save your money and protect your peace of mind. Avoid iKik Taekwondo at all costs.

Where Valhalla lacks in a "No Shoes, No Service" policy, it excels in providing a venue for fresh and seasoned martial arts practitioners of all ages to hone their craft in a plethora of styles, including but not limited to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai. You'll be hard pressed to find another gym with such a wealth of engaging opportunities under the same roof. What really sets it apart isn't just the exceptional coaching from its founder and resident Black Belt Professor, Coach Andrew; it's the emphasis placed on personal development from all angles. The atmosphere that's been cultivated at Valhalla ensures a healthy and positive environment where everyone involved is engaged and committed to helping each other progress both physically and mentally. Not only that, but the condition of the facility is par-none and always kept clean. As a slight testament to the caliber of Valhalla's curriculum, I've personally garnered a greater sense of confidence, learned countless practical skills, and gained a greater appreciation for cold showers. Although I've only been a student for a relatively short amount of time, I'm certain I'll be here for the long run.

**** I cannot say enough great things about The Merit School…read moreof Stafford. My daughter just graduated from kindergarten here, and the education completely exceeded what we paid for school. We actually enrolled her a couple of weeks late, but her teacher, Mrs Sleydin, took her time and got my daughter acclimated to the learning environment right away. Here is what makes this school so special: *Individualized Learning:* They structure lessons to meet each child's needs. They know how to recognize children who are more advanced and those who need a little more help. Because of this, my daughter made incredible progress in reading and math. *Well-Rounded Activities:* I love the art, gym, and playtime. Plus, they offer great extracurriculars, tutoring, and before/after care. *Caring Staff & Community:* Every teacher cares about every student, even if they aren't in their classroom. The director, Sherry and the Asst Director, are wonderful in not only the way they run the school but their personal involvement with the children. The PTO also works hard to bring the best environment and value to the school. Every dollar spent on my daughter's education was worth it. If you want a school that truly delivers, I highly recommend them!

It's clear they care about the success of their students on a personal level and go above and beyond to ensure progression.

My son enjoys the music and language specials and has a great time in the after school programs. The campus is beautiful, clean, and secure. I'm so proud to be a part of The Merit School of Stafford family and highly recommend this school.
