We pulled up to the facility and my husband had told me it was previously a boxing gym he used to work out at so he was familiar with the place. As we walked in, we were greeted and was advised to fill out a liability form. There are no shoes allowed on the mats, so there was definitely a smell of shoes, socks, feet (similar to walking into Chuck E. Cheese in the 90's) area but as you walk in further in the smell dissipates. We were advised not to play on the boxing ring, which was ok but everything else was open! The best things that I loved was that they offered activities for the kids to do: tug a war, obstacle course, and nerf gun playtime! I noticed the instructors of the gym were interacting with the kids whether it was being chased with nerf guns or playing tug a war. They were teaching some kids how to properly kick! They also allow outside food advising food may be eaten on the green turf/carpet area. 90 minutes of play time and 30 minutes of food time is perfect! This is definitely a great option for birthdays to get kids energy out in a safe environment!

I messaged Gary to see if it would be ok to stop by and he was very accommodating. There were plenty of people to train with from white belt to black belt and everybody was very friendly. I've been training for more than 10 years at various gyms and I've never felt more welcomed - that's a testament to the owner. He even taught us some details on a few techniques that will help us evolve our games. I would highly recommend this gym for Reno residents and out of towners trying to drop in to get some rolls in.

Oh, and people trying to choke you or break your arm while you do the same to them. So what makes this gym worthy of a review? I'll tell you, person I just invented to ask that question. Training at this gym will save you roughly 2 hours of your life because you won't have to spend it in your car driving to Reno. That's where the next closest gym where you can learn to choke someone that's trying to choke you. So basically if you are sitting at home alone, illegally downloading episodes of Empty Nest but you would like to meet some new friends and get a body that feels like marble covered in suede this is the place for you. Nothin beats the feeling of being in shape. Except heroin. But right after heroin, the exercise thing for sure. 5 stars. Don't go anywhere else.

These classes have helped my daughter learn that she can do things that are difficult for her, and have helped build her confidence.

We searched out this dojo we had know the owners from when they were teaching with Larry Hall…read moreSchool and liked what they were doing. My son was a part of this dojo for 8 to 9 years. It was a great dojo when they stuck to techniques of the martial arts of Goji Shorey and the self defense. Now this school is only about traveling to tournaments and teaching point sparring. Paying for a belt to point spare and technique have gone out the window. I do agree with the review that I have seen the owner lose control on students. Have also seen the owner belittle student in front of student and parents. Pitting students and parents against each other in tournaments and in the dojo! Showing favoritism to certain parents and student. Never question them about anything or call them out on something because they will get angry and take it out on you and-your kids to the point you don't want to ask questions anymore. Fund raising for travel and tournaments and never getting a break down on how the money was spent or slit up. They have talked bad about every dojo in town and even out side of Nevada. Every person that has left this dojo was talked bad about in including me and my family. This is just a warning so if you do decide to try this dojo look out for yourself and your kids.

5 Stars - Fantastic for Kids!…read more We absolutely love this jujitsu studio! The instructors have the perfect balance of being strict yet incredibly patient. They create focused, structured sessions that still manage to be a lot of fun for the kids. What I appreciate most is how much the kids actually learn through practice--not just going through the motions. Each class builds their skills, confidence, and discipline in a way that feels engaging and rewarding. If you're looking for a place where your child can grow, learn respect, and have a great time doing it, this is the place to be!

Wonderful place and wonderful people…read more This place has it all. Two schools share this facility and work together wonderfully. I have been training here for several years and the quality of the instructors is exceptional. They instructors also bring in guests from time to time to expose us to even more. They have no egos and see value in learning from all arts. Sensei Bern is a great teacher. Humble, knowledgeable, and flexible with the schedule. He's always willing to do what it takes to help you grow as a student. A unique aspect of this dojo is the healing arts. Part of what is taught and performed is learning to heal what damage you may do to an opponent: A complete form of the arts. It's truly the example of using your martial arts only when necessary and undoing harm you do. I couldn't recommend this place more. It's a hidden treasure of the valley.

There are usually two classes everyday, so it accommodates many schedules. All of the instructors are high knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They are also very good teachers. It's one thing to just be a good athlete and it's a totally different thing to be able to transfer your knowledge to someone else. They are very good at teaching techniques and actually demonstrating them. Another great part of this gym is the other students. There's a wide variety of skill levels and body types. They are all willing to work with you and give you pointers. No egos, but a lot of high level competitors are training in the gym. I would say if you have any interest in Jiu Jitsu to just come in and watch a class. If you like what you see they'll let you try a class or two. I'm sure you'll find it's an awesome place to train, just like I have.

Yes, this is the oldest Martial Arts school in Nevada from back in the 50's and it has a lot of history. I came back in the late 90's to train seriously. I've been active ever since. It's a traditional Japanese based jiu-jitsu school and they have a donation based - nonprofit pricing structure that is very affordable. To top that off, the blackbelts are some of the most knowledgeable in the area. Typically, more knowledgeable than the for profit schools in the Reno/Sparks area. There is a good family atmosphere, it's not a "cage fighting school" or "sport BJJ school" but it does have some serious training taking place. I couldn't be happier with the years of traditional jiu-jitsu training that I got here. I give this school an easy 5 stars.
