They have a fight team if you want to go hard but monitor sessions to ensure partner practice and sparring is at the right level. I overheard one of the owners pull someone aside and explain friendly but firmly to bring it down or they'll be asked to leave the gym. Outside of training and management that speaks volumes. I train privates w/ Mike C. I'm older and my horizon is short. He's a great coach who puts attention into my technique and progress. That seems comsistent at Juniper. I've trained other martial arts - TKD and Bando for a year plus long ago, southern short fist KF for six years currently. Truly thought I'd be better at MT but being like every other new student, I appreciate the patience and guidance I found at Juniper and it's community.

I have been attending a women's cardio kickboxing and self defense class this winter at Kempo with…read moreSensei Laurie Smith (or Mrs. Sensei as she is in my mind). This is my first time doing any kind of self defense or martial arts, but Mrs. Sensei makes all the women in the class feel very comfortable no matter their experience level. She is so patient and kind and such a mom figure to all the ladies in the class! Mrs. Sensei says she likes to keep things "old school" and doesn't pump up the place with music as we practice, giving us the ability to focus, pace ourselves, and ask questions along the way. She clearly explains the concepts of our drills so we know why we're doing what we're doing. She is always open to answer any questions about the exercises and meets each woman where they are in their fitness journey. Kempo also gives back to the community twice a year around Valentine's Day and Halloween, offering free classes to kids who may not otherwise have tried or been able to afford a martial arts class. It's great to see that it really is "family fitness" there! Many of the women in my class have children in Kempo's kids' classes and bring their kids out to their different events they host (like movie nights!). The location is easy to find in the Hung Vuong Shopping Center next to the Tutti Toscani's restaurant and Soccer Post store. I'm really glad I signed up for this class, and I hope to attend another class there in the future!

The energy here is unmatched, and I've made incredible friends who quickly feel like family. I owe a huge thanks to my guy, wholesale Nick, for introducing me to Daniel Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And Veronica--she's simply the best. She's taught me so much, not only about jiu-jitsu but about health and making positive lifestyle choices outside the gym. I've been fortunate to train at jiu-jitsu gyms across the world--in Australia, South Africa, South Korea, Japan, and England--but Daniel Gracie in Fishtown stands out above the rest. It's more than just a gym; it's a place where I feel truly at home, where the people are as dedicated to each other as they are to the sport. This gym is my community, my support system, and my favorite place to train. Nothing quite compares to Daniel Gracie and the neighborhood of Fishtown.

We also like to have the zoom option as a back up if needed. We highly recommend this martial arts school.
