Our 10 year old has been going for 5 years and is now working towards his junior black sash. Our 7 year-old just started, and wants to take classes every time they are offered. Both are members of the Leadership Club and are currently reading "The West Point Way of Leadership" as part of their training. I have been taking Tai Chi and Kung Fu for a year now, and have lost 20 pounds, plus have gained much greater strength, stamina, flexibility, and confidence. Classes are more than what you might pay at a strip-mall martial arts school, but you are getting a richer, more vibrant community and a more robust training.

I've been attending for a year and a half and have seen tremendous improvement in my balance, stress levels, focus, and general well-being. The instructors at The Peaceful Dragon have to complete a ten-year training period before teaching others... this is NOT your fly-by-night strip mall martial arts school, but they make Tai Chi and Kung Fu accessible to all ages and abilities.

But Jeremy's kindness and patience and dedication to his craft is what made me need to review. Given the Delta variant surge, and the ability for vaccinated people to be carriers...I'm not in the best position to participate given my baby niece's immunocompromised status (who, as an infant, isn't vaccinated), and Jeremy worked with me to find a solution that helps me make sure my niece is safe and looked after, but making sure I knew the door stayed open for my own training. God bless TDT and their staff, and their members who go out of their way to motivate and encourage. If you need a gym routine that shakes up the old and in an exciting way, get on the mat and have some fun!!!! I personally can't wait to go back .

Getting the blood pumping. The rest is technique. You will learn a lot of great stuff to use should you have to. Takes a while to get used to especially if you've never done it before, but you leave each class feeling exhilarated and more confident. Classes are offered 4x a week but you can set your own schedule so there is plenty of flexibility. Give it a shot

Five months later and I'm still going strong at KO Fitness and Bootcamp!…read more Dayron really pushes you to try your hardest. Just when you think you are going to give up, you dig a little deeper and get a little stronger. The 30min bootcamp classes are really worth the money. You can do anything for 30mins! It doesn't sound like a lot of time, but you get a heck of a work out. The high intensity workouts will vary every day. No matter what your fitness goals are, whether it's endurance, weight loss, etc, Dayron will work with you to achieve them. I have lost over 8 inches and more than 12lbs in just a few months. If I changed my diet even more, I would have probably lost more! I even shaved 3mins off of my best 5k time. In addition, he offers plenty of other options like personal training, boxing, etc. Dayron also started to offer various yummy juice blends for a post workout recovery drink. My boyfriend even said.. "I haven't even met him, but I know he's good at his job because I saw results within the first month and you have kept with it for more than 2 months..." Ha! Try it for a month and you will be back for month two and more!

After relocating to Charlotte with years of martial arts experience, I did extensive research to…read morefind a gym that realistically covers all aspects of self-defense. That search led me to Ryan Hoover and Fit to Fight--and it exceeded every expectation.This isn't just a 5-star review; it is an open letter of appreciation. Here is what sets them apart: World-Class Leadership: Ryan, Amber, and Riley Hoover are incredible, highly accessible coaches who frequently teach classes themselves. Elite, Consistent Coaching: Every single coach and Black Belt is exceptional. There is no such thing as a bad class here. Complete Combat Curriculum: They train you for reality--covering everything from de-escalation and kickboxing to grappling, street-scenario jiu-jitsu, and weapons defense. Evolving & Relevant: The curriculum updates constantly to address ever-changing, real-world threats. Inclusive Community: You will train alongside everyone from teenagers to impressive 70-year-olds in an environment where everyone knows your name. Genuine Care: They truly care about your safety, growth, and well-being.Though I recently had to relocate back to the West Coast, Fit to Fight remains the gold standard. I fully plan to return for their intensive workshops. To Ryan and the entire coaching staff: keep doing what you do. It matters.

I cant believe I have not reviewed this before. I have been going here infrequently since it opened…read moreor shortly there after. The reason for the infrequency is that it is a solid 25 min drive for me without traffic. Add in week day traffic and that turns into an hour. Otherwise, I'd be here all the time. The staff is super friendly. The bag classes are my favorite and a really tough workout. The intro classes are great as well. The first 15 mins of "warm up" is probably the toughest work out then it is on to learning basic skills. It's such a great work out and the training is great for self defense. They have another location in Gastonia if you live closer to there. I highly recommend them.

I've been to countless baseball and soccer games here and had always been impressed with the sheer amount of space, number fields of all kinds, and the amount of care that goes into keeping the grounds in shape. I haven't been inside any of the main buildings, but I understand there are amenities for members to utilize such as a pool, gym, etc. The only slight drawback to this park is parking. The areas for parking can get a bit complex and overrun at times when there is more than one little league game or youth soccer match happening at the same time. Some parents get pretty creative and strategic with their mini van placement.
