I was immediately hung up on, with no further questions. This gym is a McDojo, and I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone that's seriously looking to improve or protect themselves. If you are a person looking for a place to exercise, maybe? I would not reccomend it as a place to learn how to defend yourself. (I rarely write reviews, so I've gone out of my way to write one on both here and Google.) Good Luck everyone and stay safe!

Best bet is to give it a try and see if it fits you.

At nearly sixteen years old, my son has not learned these tricks to this degree yet. While binge watching the Walking Dead he took notice of Morgan and his skills with Aikido. He started watching videos, then started reading about it. Before I knew it my kid was all over the back lawn making these moves. The Wife and I decided that maybe he was ready to start studying in earnest. At his first lesson his sensei showed him some amazing things he could do right away. Harnessing the power of the mind, as it were, which for an A.D.D. teenager is no small trick. Seeing his love of studying this new to him martial art we decided to sign on. Now, a few months down the road we are seeing tremendous benefits for him, and improvements. He also gives credit to Aikido for helping him through those last few hard weeks of 10th grade. The instructors are amazing, and patient, and see his potential. They give a first class for free, so what is your excuse for not trying?

It was my…read moreintroduction into martial arts of any kind and certainly kept me from becoming one of America's fattest children. It was the first time in my life I was able to do splits and really apply my ability to defend myself. Though my philosophy on self-defense / combat has changed considerably through my current practices of Jeet Kune Do, I still have a lot of respect for those who take the time to practice some aspect of self-defense. It's awesome for fitness and provides some level of self-discipline while channeling a whole new level of self-confidence. The process of belt promotions and facilities maintenance is sure to have changed since I first attended years ago. There were all sorts of students ranging from various ages and an even number of boys and girls. Prices were modest back then and are likely to be significantly higher now. Just remember that engaging in any type of martial arts is going to be pricey, it just depends on how what you might consider reasonable. For those who are looking for something different and a nice way to get fit, I encourage those in the area to seek Dave to begin a new journey in martial arts.

Please do not write back to me on here as you gross me out as much as the yeast smell. The class schedule is fine unless you have mother that had a stroke right after you trained for a marathon and there is no "pausing" for family emergencies.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a world where sweat glistens a bit more elegantly. The MAC isn't just a gym it's a sanctuary of stature. You don't simply walk in... oh no, you belong here. Membership isn't a convenience, it's a declaration. Behind those doors lies a realm of polished marble, hushed conversations, and the faint, dignified clink of perfectly chilled water glasses. Inside, it's sleek immaculately so. Machines aligned like soldiers of fortune, locker rooms that whisper spa-day indulgence, and a calm that feels imported from somewhere far more exclusive than downtown Portland. This is where ambition meets tranquility... where CEOs, legacy names, and those in-the-know escape the city's chaos without ever leaving it. And the vibe? Think Nob Hill with a gym membership and a trust fund. There's no chaos, no clanging weights echoing into oblivion just refined motion, deliberate pace, and an understanding that wellness, like wealth, should be curated. So if you find yourself wandering downtown, peering in like Gatsby outside the green light, just know: this isn't merely a place to work out. It's a lifestyle one you don't stumble into... you ascend into. Lifestyles of the fit and the fabulous, darling.

The a la Grivois cocktail started the experience on a high note: amaro and vermouth together make for a velvety sweetness. The house green soup was a winner, I'm sure the French Onion would be also. We were there for prime rib night and their version rivals that at Clyde's: a hearty cut and full of flavor. At first glance, I was disappointment to see scalloped-type potatoes, but these were the best I've had. The warm bread and salad were above par. Great service by one of the long time waiters.
