My…read moreson started training when he was younger, and now at 13, the growth we've seen in him has been truly remarkable--not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Through consistent training, he has developed strong confidence, improved athleticism, and a sense of discipline that carries into all areas of his life. He carries himself differently now--head held high, focused, and respectful. What stands out most is how he's grown into a leader among his peers. He's well-liked, commands respect in a positive way, and has built meaningful friendships within the school. The instructors here don't just teach martial arts--they instill values like perseverance, accountability, and respect. They genuinely care about each student's progress and take the time to mentor them both on and off the mat. If you're a parent considering this school, I can't recommend it enough. The benefits go far beyond learning kung fu--it's about building character and confidence that lasts a lifetime. Like anything worthwhile, the key is consistency. The students who show up, stay committed, and take their training seriously are the ones who truly thrive. This school is a special place, and I hope more families take the opportunity to be part of it. Lole T

Mind you, some of the coaches are absolute sweethearts and I hate to bundle the good with the bad, but unfortunately this Was my experience. They threw my sneakers in the garbage, another time they hid my gloves and water bottle and did not return it until a month later. I tried not to jump to conclusions, and figured I just miss placed some of my items but after they had returned it to me I was very sure one or two of the instructors had taken my items. A lot of hostility and intimidation was present for absolutely no reason. Wasn't sure if I unintentionally stepped on someones toes. It came to the point were I had to choose to forfeit the lessons as not to have to deal with this type of behavior anymore after a recent injury . Signed up for Kyokushin classes in the city and left this nonsense behind. Nothing more then bullies with a belt. Beware.

Mike Casey is the head coach/owner and an old school Gracie guy.. as real as it gets.. a black belt under Relson Gracie.. super knowledgeable and a great motivator with a no nonsense demeanor. As a beginner I can tell the that the core/fundamental program is awesome.. It is real authentic Gracie Jiu-jitsu.. real combat/ street self defense. The Core program can honestly be done wearing no gi as it is all about real world scenarios, real Gracie style street combat that could save your life. Some schools have gotten away from original Gracie Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and focus entirely on "sport Jiu-jitsu" which has tons of rules and is all about getting points in tournaments.. this is not that school.. although some of the guys do compete.. The blue and higher ranking belts in the school are also very helpful and a great group of guys. Another great thing is that Mike gives you the lesson plan for the whole year, so you know exactly what to expect every class.. The facility is always clean, floor and wall padding always clean, two bathrooms, water fountain etc.. and I always find street parking. The kids program is great for the little ones learning to grapple and is primarily a bully defense program. It is very safe as they are not allowed to do submissions until they reach teenage years and enter the adult program. Overall highly recommended
