Let me first state the reviews before mine are from a previous owner who apparently was quite…read moreunscrupulous. This is not the same group or the same management. I've talked extensively with the current owner David Walker as well as trained with him for the last few months. My children have also trained with him for the same amount of time. Two coworkers I've known for almost a decade have trained with David as well. His training is tier one as the classes are a good mix of intensity, technique as well as background information as to why you do what you do. I leave each class as if I have learned something new I can apply as well as improved my skills on previously learned material. So, the training is A plus and better than any other martial arts groups I have trained with in the past. David is excellent with my kids who look forward to class each week as well as excitedly show me what they have learned as well as beg me to show them what was done in my class. It is a great time for them to work on discipline, confidence and mindset as well as balance, flexibility and strength. This is the best extracurricular investment I've made for them. Lastly, I want to say David is a man of integrity and encouragement. He has kept his word and made sure I've maximized my learning opportunities. The folks in the class are terrific and some of the more experienced students have been extremely helpful in keeping an eye on me and correcting things when David is with another student. I wish I had found this group earlier and started sooner, but as David says "We're starting now." Join us.
