They continued to my credit card for 3 more months even though she kept telling them every month not to use it. In early May, my daughter told them that my grandkids decided to stop training. On June 1st, they charged my credit card again even though my grandkids are no longer training. I had to contact my bank to dispute the charges.

I simply walked off the field and shrugged my shoulders. No bad attitude, no rude remark, just a shrug and I moved on. However, I had to remind my team to do the same, despite the fact that the call was made against me. I have become a much calmer person. I choose to have fun on the sports field regardless of how terrible I'm doing. I know I will get better if I keep going. I'd like to credit Kuk Sool Won with this as well as Justin Bunn. I am forever learning. Each person at kuk sool is so encouraging, and patient. The environment there is inspiring. #kuksoolstrong

We tried Vitality after our daughter's old Sensei retired…read more Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. Vitality charges four times (quadruple) what our old dojo charges AND if you want to quit, you can just inform them and be done. They force you to pay for an entire additional month - really awful anti-customer policy. Additionally, the instruction was supervised closely enough and our daughter was injured because another student was overly aggressive. Finally, the place smells terrible, like feet wrapped in dirty diapers. We've moved on to a new dojo and are much happier - and back to paying a quarter of what Vitality charges.

The price is very reasonable compared with other local martial arts schools I have checked into. This is not a "McDojo" - it is pretty no-frills (bring a jacket in the winter - the room parents wait in is not heated), which I like. The energy I see in the classes is positive, with discipline upheld in a respectful manner. I would highly recommend Northern California Martial Arts' children's Taekwondo program.

They motivate you and the class is so much fun. Bumping music, moves and sweat! It's a mixture of everything and best believe, you leave your class huffing and puffing, feeling great. My 5 yo daughter is in their tiger class twice a week. At first, I was expecting the class to be all physical but to my surprise, they teach amazing life lessons like building confidence, self discipline, hard work, control, and respect. This made me commit. We've also taken this class with multiple instructors and every one of them are so kind and amazing. They are so great with kids and I love them all so much! My girl enjoys this class and it's nice parents can sit in the class to watch. Towards the end, they have you interact with your child in helping them develop their skills which is a nice way to bond. I think of all the places in Davis, this place is probably the best in terms of quality for adults and children. They also offer camps which I've heard great things about.

Mr. Rodness has a teaching style that really connects with kids. He manages to balance discipline and encouragement in a way that keeps students motivated. What we appreciate most is that it is not just a martial arts school. The classes consistently reinforced focus, perseverance, accountability, and respect. Those lessons have carried over into school and every day life for our son. If you're looking for a place that develops confidence and character in addition to excellent martial arts skills, this is a fantastic environment. We're grateful to be part of the program and highly recommend it.

Excellent place to train. The absolute best…read more This school has decades of experience teaching effective, proven self defense for use on the street. From day one, the emphasis is on teaching "Real" movements using a "hands on" approach. Lots of hitting pads and doing things on the teacher to make sure you understand how it works. For the sport fighting (MMA) enthusiast, they teach "Shootfighting", a combination of Muay Thai Kickboxing, Jujitsu, Russian Sambo, and Catch wrestling. Not just 'Stand Up' and 'Ground' in separate classes, the "Shootfighting" integrates the two creating a much more well rounded fighter. The instructors are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. THERE ARE NO "KID" TEACHERS. All of the instructors are adults, and the adults and kids are taught separately in the group classes. If you are looking to train as a family or for training for you son/daughter, you will not find a better place. Instead of focusing on 'point fighting' and playing a 'game'. Kids build up their self esteem and confidence while learning real physical skills that will need if they are attacked. There is nothing worse than if a kid thinks he can defend his or herself only to get beat up (OR WORSE), because what they learned doesn't really work. I do know that there are quite a few CHP officers, Police, SWAT, as well as Correctional Officers from CMF training here as well as some of the other locations (and they are some of the coolest people to train with) If it is good enough for them an their families, it is good enough for mine.

But a lot of BJJ-gym owners are…read more What sets Michael apart is that he has devoted himself to becoming an excellent teacher, rather than just a competitor who teaches on the side. He breaks down techniques into concepts, so you understand what you're trying to accomplish instead of just memorizing moves. In addition, he tailors his teaching to fit you -- e.g., your size, your flexibility, your age, etc. -- so you learn BJJ that actually will work for you. Most importantly to me, Michael is a kind and thoughtful person who attracts kind and thoughtful students. It's worth checking this place out just to meet him and the people who train here.

Out of all the gyms my bf has been to, this is the one he finds incomparable when it comes to technique & instruction. He'll do anything to make time to show up for class on the daily and i also enjoy coming by to watch the team train. They also have a team pup named SARU!! (cutest little doberman) that is there everyday. My bf recommends Michael (coach) to anyone wanting to get into jiujitsu (even me lol).
