I have been training here for about 8 months & the Renshis are very patient with me but also push me (I had 3 surgeries in 2 years ; both legs bone restructured with PCL repair & then hardware removal) I cannot express how much I recommend this place!

I can't say enough about how great this place is. I enrolled my daughter in karate, and then the…read moresummer program. This business is family owned and you can tell by the way they do business, and care for the families. Their summer program offers so much and when my daughter comes home she is always talking about how much fun she had and she's actually able to tell me what they did. I am looking forward to starting her karate classes once camp is over. They have fun but are firm and my daughter is more confident and learning new things.

THE place for MMA I…read morehave been training off-and-on at Arlington Martial Arts/Arlington Fight Club for five years and have had a fantastic experience every time. Arlington MMA is owned by my longtime friend, Franc, and it's been a game-changer! Franc's wealth of experience is evident in every aspect, ensuring a top-notch training environment. Arlington MMA also offers kids classes. The youth classes are high energy and focus on martial arts techniques. The instructors are fantastic at orienting the classes towards a younger crowd and teaching martial arts technique in a really fun environment. It really is the place for younger kids/youth to gain a foundation in martial arts or to expand their skills. Juan, the boxing instructor for both adult and youth classes, is simply awesome. Mary, the Muay Thai instructor for both the adult Muay Thai and youth/kids Muay Thai classes, is highly energetic. Lim is a rockstar!! As for offerings, this gym offers a range of techniques from MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Combat Sambo and more for both adult and kids. From experienced martial arts enthusiasts to beginners looking for a place to learn, grow, and get fit fast, this club is unparalleled. I continue to recommend Arlington MMA/Arlington Fight Club to friends and other martial arts enthusiasts around town. This is THE BEST PLACE to learn to fight.

Legend Martial Arts is more than just a martial arts academy, it's a place where young ones can discover their potential and prepare for the next level of their journey with confidence and determination.I highly recommend this place to any parent looking to enroll their child in a martial arts program that focuses on both skill development and personal growth. My daughter is now ready for the next level of her martial arts journey, and I have no doubt that they will continue to foster her passion and talent in the years to come!

I was looking for a way to change my life when I found Authentic Kung Fu. I left a message so I…read morecould ask questions and got an immediate response. I was invited to come to 2 days of classes to decide which style would suit me. The building isn't in the greatest neighborhood and the school was ok. The impressive thing about the school was the quantity and diversity of weapons around the school. Sifu Cottrell, the owner and teacher at the school greeted me warmly. Classes were in session and Sifu took the time to give me a tour. He Started with his lineage, who his teachers were and who his teacher's teachers were. In Sifu's lineage, Ip man had taught his teacher! We sat for a while, while he educated me on Wing Chun and how Bruce Lee was the most famous practitioner. I came the next day to see Praying Mantis style, which even for a lay person was vastly different than Wing Chun. I had never seen anything quite like it, especially after watching so many Kung Fu movies. Sifu and I agreed Mantis would suit me best and it has. The instructors are top of the line. So patient, will explain and demonstrate techniques 100 million ways until you get it. I always felt supported and inspired to learn from the community of students. I never heard anyone speak an ill word or treat anyone poorly. The community of students welcomed me and I felt safe to both succeed and feel failure. Truly, I could go on and on, but there really is no greater place to learn Kung Fu and to embrace your potential.

I cannot say enough positive words about Authentic Kung Fu. My 8 year old son loves to go to his…read moreclasses, as does my husband for the evening (packed) adult class. Sifu Cotrell is the epitome of what I would look for in a martial arts educator. He is patient and soft spoken with the children. However, his expectations of their ability to learn movements with discipline and precision creates excellent students with a solid foundation of praying mantis Kung Fu. I love the fact that this is not just another "belt factory" establishment with a free uniform for joining. It is a fabulous school intended to enlighten and enhance any humans life from 8 to 88..... 5 Stars!!

I appreciated that the instructor was thorough on technique and making sure you do the moves properly. Great way to work up a sweat with very little to no recovery in between! Loved the high energy music as well. They provide gloves and wraps should you not have your own. Also love that they offer "fire and ice" which was time in the infrared sauna and a cold plunge. Excellent way to recover after a grueling workout. Bring a change of clothes as well as your own towels etc to do the recovery part after. I'd come here often if I lived closer! But will definitely visit from time to time to brush up on my kickboxing and punching skills! Spice up your humdrum routine and check this place out!!

The people are so nice and friendly. There's so many kiddos in the kids classes and they're just as friendly and talented. The parents and spouses are so kind and welcoming. The coaches are so knowledgeable but still soft, warm, and inviting. I cannot recommend this gym enough for any age - toddlers through adults, and beginners through experienced athletes. There's something here for everyone! Morning and night classes. Gi and no Gi. Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. Oh and there's a bakery stand from one of the members - fresh bread, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. There's even a cooler with frozen açaí bowls for a perfect after-roll snack. So grateful and blessed we're apart of this family!
