Our 6 year old is now 11 and she loves! My middle daughter still always wants to go in and say hi even though she decided karate was not for her. The Instructors understand that there is not one style to teach and take the time to learn about your child and how they learn. I have been enrolled in the adult classes for 5 years. Not only is it a great way to get some exercise and training. I starting thinking I'd take it for fun and have discovered that I love the styles and programs they provide. Steiner Academy of Martial Arts is not just a school but a family. We could not be happier with our experience.

My first class I was completely nervous inside but it was all for nothing. The instructors are great in explaining techniques. Each lesson is done slow and in a very controlled environment. Lessons are kept on your personal progression chart so you know where you are at in the program. I have only great things to say about Gracie Jiu-jitsu Omaha. I highly recommend everyone to come see for yourself.

From the owner: Gracie Combatives is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core…read moretechniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique, which are further broken down into simplified drills or “slices” to facilitate the learning process. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program. Upon successful completion of the Gracie Combatives program you will earn your Gracie Combatives Belt which will qualify you for advancement into the Master Cycle program.

She's worked her way to a Yellow belt (black belt club) and is aspiring to join the Masters Class.

I would highly recommend putting your child in this program, or even taking some adult classes (as it's a great workout).

Went to Mick Doyle's for a free first class based off the recommendation of a current member…read more On the advice of an employee, the hubs and I took both the beginner and intermediate boxing classes. The beginner class was more of a warmup that focused on footwork and technique and the intermediate class moved into hitting and bag work. While the trainers and workout was fantastic, about 45 minutes of the two hours was taken up by the trainer talking (no movement during this time) and one-on-one work with the first trainer. The one-on-one time was great, however, if you were not working with the trainer you were just standing around. It seems this time would be more beneficial if people were paired up to continue training while waiting for their turn with the trainer. If you are looking for a workout, you may want to just attend the beginner class. If you are looking to become more efficient and trained in boxing, both classes are probably needed. The intermediate class (at least during our visit) is just a continuation of the first class and cannot stand on its own. While the extended time was a let down, as newbies we definitely needed the break. If we were to continue on, this would probably be an issue if all classes have this amount of down time. Happy training Yelpers!

This is a great place to learn Karate for children or adults of all backgrounds and sizes…read more The Environment: The school itself feels very comfortable. It is a cozy place with lots of small touches that make it feel personal instead of commercial. Since the classes are limited to 10 students at a time, there is always enough room to safely and comfortably practice. The school has a large focus on technique over athleticism and stature, which is probably why there is such a range of different people that can attend the school and benefit from the teachings. This is not the type of school where you will be asked to run intense drills or be yelled at for mistakes. The teaching is relaxed, you can ask questions and learn at your own pace. Different skill levels often practice in the same class so you have the added benefit of learning from your higher-ranking peers. The Teacher: Prof. Geary is the founder of this school and a 10th degree black belt with impressive credentials. He is the youngest 10th degree blackbelt in America, second youngest in the world, and proof of his credentials is readily available online and displayed in the school which is a true testament to the legitimacy of the school. Professor Geary teaches all the classes himself, so you can feel confident knowing you are receiving quality instruction straight from the source, rather than second-hand. His general demeanor shows that he cares way more about teaching good karate to his students than how to spend marketing dollars, which I really appreciate. Inclusivity: People of various shapes, sizes, colors and ages on a large range go to the school. There are children and seniors, many people from different background and many people who you wouldn't immediately think of as athletic. They are all welcome and show respect to each other at the school. Overall I would highly recommend studying Kempo Karate here.
