Some of the instructors have trained in Okinawa, and have a deep respect for the culture and the art of Shuri-Ryu karate. At the same time, they are extremely approachable and down to earth. They're some of the kindest and most patient people I've met, and they care deeply about their students. They will meet you at whatever level you're at, whether you're young, old, fit, or out of shape (even if maybe you've never formally exercised your whole adult life...). They will push you to improve, but they are mindful of your limits. I've always felt challenged, but never singled out or left behind. I recommend them regardless of your age or experience level.

The atmosphere is warm, positive, and incredibly welcoming -- it's more than just a place to take classes; it's a true community. The instructors are extremely skilled, entertaining, professional, and they genuinely care about each student. You can see the pride they take in helping the kids grow both on and off the mat. One thing I especially appreciate is their Facebook Live streaming option when kids are sick -- it shows how committed they are to keeping everyone involved and connected. What has meant the most to our family is the way the owner went out of her way to make my son feel special, seen, and capable during a time when he's been struggling with some life challenges. Instead of focusing on the negatives, she focused on my son's strengths and potential. He wishes he could go every day! That kind of leadership makes all the difference.

DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID - HAVE TO PAY $4,000 + FOR CLASSES WE CANNOT ATTEND:…read more This is a contract. The latest contract I did was for 2023 - 2025. I did not realize, nor did I think, a kid's martial arts business would lock families in to that long of a contract. The other contracts I have done have been a year long. Contracts are ridiculous to begin with for kids extra curricular activities, a year is manageable somewhat if you need to stop and continue paying for the classes you can no longer attend. I am a single mom. My kid's dad has stopped paying for literally anything, the location has become inconvenient, and my son wants to focus on baseball (which is a 3 day commitment). We have asked Master Hill kindly to let us out of the contract and he is not. First he told me "Other families here balance the same type of hectic schedule as your family". As a single mom, working full time, managing two kids schedules, and paying for everything - this comment was really unnecessary. After we discussed further, he said the best he can do is give a 20% discount on the remaining balance. To give you the exact math: We have $6060 left to pay, with a 20% discount, I still have $4,848 to pay for a 8 years old martial arts class. This is absolutely absurd. Kid's and family's lives change and evolve rapidly. A business cannot do this to families. Please note, we have been loyal clients for a little over 2 years. I have had 2 kids attend spending $1,000.00 + on gear/belts/events- and given the circumstances still cannot release us from the contract. Having worked in a line of business for 6-7 years serving primarily children's extra curricular activities, I can assure you this business can thrive equally, if not more, on a month to month basis structure that is way more family friendly.

There has not been one school out of many that almost compare to Summit. It's been quite shocking to see the quality or lack of in these other schools. Master Hill is the real deal. Your child will learn discipline, self control, and build on the strengths he or she already has. He will learn true technique and how to master taekwondo. Like anything else, you will get out of it what you put in. I believe my son already had a good foundation but I know Master Hill has grown my sons character and strengths. I can't walk into his school without someone stopping to tell me that he is helpful, puts others before himself, shows respects, is always doing his best, and stands out amongst his peers. I believe without a doubt that Master Hill is the best of any instructor in the area. I am so very thankful we walked through his door 4 years ago and I am so grateful of the positive impact Master Hill has had on my child's life.

He was diagnosed with Asperger's around the age of 4 years old and we were instructed to start him on medications. We disagreed and began occupational and speech therapy with our school district. We began looking for extracurricular activities he could participate in so we checked out DTA. We had concerns because at the time he was barely verbal and couldn't follow much instruction. We spoke with Mr. D about his diagnosis but also wanted to make sure that Luke was held accountable and treated, for the most part, like any other student. He loved it! Mr. D and his staff were incredibly gracious and much to our surprise Luke began learning patterns quickly having to remember several moves and techniques in order to move through different levels of skill. Several times he wasn't able to complete patterns to move through different belts and Mr. D didn't make exceptions if he didn't make it. However, he always encouraged him through his missteps and I witnessed Mike do this with other kids as well. Luke will soon be 17 yrs old and we are looking at colleges this spring. He has always viewed his years with DTA with fondness and it is clear that he was provided mentorship through several instructors as well as Mr. D. The money spent with DTA is really inconsequential for as much as we received in return. We can't recommend this place enough!

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.

We were excited to try it out! $25 gets you a new uniform, 5 weeks of classes and 15 minutes full of pressure to sign a $129/month contract at the end of the first class. Those of us with kiddos know that $129/monthly is a bit extreme when it comes to children's activities. Especially when you're put on the spot to sign in a totally unexpected way. I find this alone to be very tricky by the school. Premise is you can cancel anytime within the 5 weeks and they won't charge your card. I've had friends who cancelled but were charged regardless. I cancelled and have yet to have any communication back. Other friends cancelled and had to send three additional emails to confirm the cancellation notice.

Outside, the park is incredible. The trails are extremely well maintained, both the wooded paths and the paved ones, making it perfect for an easy walk or a hike. There's also an outdoor fitness trail that I loved. It has different workout stations along the way, and it's actually really fun, not just functional. It's a great way for both kids and adults to be active. There's also a huge playground and a mini water park area for kids, plus accessible bathrooms and good seasonal amenities. It's very family friendly without feeling overcrowded. If you're into disc golf, this place is a gem. There's a large disc golf course, and they even sell discs and gear right inside the nature center. Another thing worth mentioning is how amazing Great Parks of Hamilton County is overall. They offer so many programs like beginner fishing, guided hikes, plant swaps, art workshops, amphibian hunts, and even owl pellet dissections. Not all of these are specific to this park, but many are hosted here, and it really adds to how special the experience is. Overall, this is an extremely pleasant place to spend time.

We paid 9 dollars per person. The driving range was also pretty cheap for buckets of balls - it would be a fun afternoon to bring the dads for driving range, the kids for mini golf and the moms can eat food and hang or enjoy the range as well. The food looked good, but we did not partake - the drinks were decently well priced - a can of beer 3.50 - a sway was 6 bucks. They have free concerts every now and then at their art installation, which is pretty cool, I also think it's cool how they do 5 buck Mondays.

I was a bit intimidated to start MMA, but this studio made me feel welcome from day one. The instructors are incredibly patient and take the time to break down techniques step-by-step, which is great for someone with no previous experience. The beginner kickboxing classes are challenging but supportive, and there's a real 'family vibe' here rather than an intimidating 'fighter' atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something new! They definitely have levels from beginner to world class. read more
