I have so many great things to say, but I'll try to keep it brief. If you're reading this review…read moreand seriously interested in the Martial Arts, stop by and check out a class. You've made it this far, keep going! The outside dojo is unprecedented! I called for an initial visit with my three daughters several years ago, and we are still engaged and challenged every night. Red Dragon is a friendly family dojo which maintains a high degree of professionalism. The instruction is traditional and focused on the martial arts, while also adapted to the times. Shidoshi TJ has poured his heart and soul into this school for years and it shows!

As a family man, my wife and daughter are my whole world. We love coming to Red Dragon because is…read moreit time we can spend together doing something meaningful. Since I am 48 years old, I worry that my physical conditioning will not allow me to protect them if I had to. My personal motivation is to better myself both mentally and physically so I can be a better person and father. Red Dragon pushes me to accomplish this, and Sensei TJ is an effective motivator. I have been a teacher with ASD for over 20 years, so I have been around all types of people young and old. Sensei TJ is as "real" as they come. He says what is on his mind and he will not lie to or coddle his students. He absolutely loves martial arts training and physical fitness. He is a wealth of knowledge about first aid, all types of weapons (including firearms), traditional Chinese forms, boxing, wrestling, and practical applications for self-defense. Sensei loves to tell stories about his past and the lessons he learned growing up in Alaska. He wants to make sure that the young people in his school make good decisions and are accountable for their actions. Red Dragon is not a "black belt factory." It is not a dojo that is motivated by money. Instead, the focus is on training and consistency. Sensei TJ always tells us that life is about choices, and you either choose to dedicate your time and train hard or choose not to. I am a busy person just like everyone else, but I make time to come 2 to 3 times a week. The dojo itself is beautiful! Sensei has spent a lot of time and effort to make both the inside dojo and the outside dojo very functional and visually stunning! We all take pride in helping to maintain it. The inside has mats, tons of equipment, a weight room and dummies. The outside has obstacle courses, climbing wall, ropes, zip line, weight equipment, weapons, dummies, and the ever-popular throwing star target. You cannot find another martial arts dojo like it anywhere else in Anchorage. It is truly one-of-a-kind. My family has been going for about 2 years now and we don't ever plan on quitting. It really is a special place, and I hope it continues to thrive!

Jennifer is an excellent practitioner of five element acupuncture (there are a variety of…read moreacupuncture specialties). She is knowledgeable, patient, skilled, and best of all, informative. If you ask, she will give you all the theoretical or practical info about what she does and why. That's important to me because knowing the basics and the background help me understand the process more and helps me get more out of it. She listens well. She's laid back and gives off a good vibe. My sessions feel wonderful. All in all, I trust her to stick me with countless little needles to work her medicine. I have not received and herbal medicine advice from her, so I can't speak to that, but if I get some, I'll follow up.

I had my 7th child and ended up with serious lower back and buttocks pain. I did not seek help from…read morea doctor until my Psychologist recommended it.  I did not know where the pain originated from. I was unsure if I had slipped, fallen or any of the above because I had a newborn baby, a 1 1/2 year old along with 7 children.  I did not notice the pain until a couple month after my daughter was born.  The pain overtime started increasing and shot down my legs and into my feet.  My feet felt number at times and pain.  The pain was so bad that I would drive a short distance and would almost fall out of the car.  I have seen doctors, primary care doctors who did not understand how this could have occurred and basically made me feel like I was lying.  I was referred and went through physical therapy which still did not help.  I also on my own without a referral went to a chiropractor.  The chiropractor did explain that pregnancies after a while can cause issues that I was experiencing with back and buttocks.  With the doctors, I also had to demand an x-ray: no results and MRI: which had some results but the doctor minimized my pain.  I was prescribed ibuprofen which did not help but doctors were unsure of my psych medications and pain medications. During this time, I had asked to work with my psych doctor or send me to a pain management clinic because I was to the point of crawling up the stairs and in tears.  I barely could work at my sit down job.  I had to purchase an ergonomic desktop for my desk.    I could barely sleep.   The pain did not subside and I was miserable.  I felt increased anxiety, increased depression and barely could interact at my job, at home or with my husband.  After a year, yes I said a whole year, the doctor said I am sorry I should have done this earlier and he ended up referring me to a pain management clinic i.e.  Algone Pain Clinic. The doctor also said my condition was out of the box.   I instantly was observed by Dr. Nichelle C. Renk who immediately believed me and took action.  She mixed a pain management remedy that included natural medications along with pain medications.  She realized I was hyperflexive which is part of pain causes such as mine.  She gave me support groups with people with similar pain issues.  She also gave me a steroid shot which instantly made my pain in my legs and feet.  She listened and actually spent time with me.  She was not like normal doctors where you feel rushed out of the office like an assembly line.  She sat there and made sure I understood everything and explained procedures in great depth.  She also explained the support groups, the natural medications and so on.  Her quick reaction and believing in me and my pain--she was able to burn my nerves on both sides and relieve my pain instantly.   She is a wonderful doctor who is passionate and cares about her patients.  I would recommend her to anyone.  I hope you take a chance to meet her and see how your pain is relieved.  Thank you Dr. Nichelle for making my daily life and activities better.   Christel Brito

Especially in the Winter. My regular Doctor told me about Deb Kiley, so I reluctantly went to her office. Best move I have made since finding J. Little as my Doctor. Deb took a look at this poor old Cyborg body and new I was in trouble. Since going to her my quality of life has improved, I can move around alot more, and she always has a "Good Medical Idea" for my ailment's am very thankful she took me as a patient. If you live up here, and suffer from alot of discomfort during the Winter months, then get your ass in to see Deb. She is one in a million, and Alaska is lucky to have her...(Don't tell her I wrote this, she might think I like her or something....:)
