For starters they offer early morning classes during the week which fit into my schedule perfectly. Vic (the owner) always keep the workouts fresh and has never repeated one yet (I've been going about 6 months now). I couldn't do (or even know) a Y sit up, let alone with a weight and after a few months I've been belting them out with a 10+ lbs kettle bell. I don't take any of the boxing or MMA classes but they seem to have a loyal following and the price for membership was much cheaper then other facilities I had looked into. All in all it's a great place to take a class and God knows I needed to get my butt back in shape! If your looking to take some classes without all the fluff then you've found your place.

I was 21 when I started classes here in tae kwon do and I was unsure at first. I stuck with it and…read morefell in love with the arts because of it. I started doing martial arts informally at 17 but this was my first actual gym. The teacher, Mr. Dejardin, is nice, firm and an experienced teacher which is everything you can ask for in a sensei. There was not much of an adult program when I joined but throughout the years it grew and they have experienced fighters who are kind and disciplined. I am lucky to call them my friends and to have trained with them for years. Unfortunately I had to quit because I was living at MU those years and after graduation my career and distance forced me to quit. I trained in taekwon do and muay thai when I was attending and found both challenging and fun. My biggest regret was not training harder. The children's program is a great program, I've seen children rise through the ranks and become well rounded and better behaved because of this and I would recommend this school if that's what you are looking for. Mr Dejardin can get a little strict with the kids but it's nothing to be concerned about and he does it in a mature and respectful manner. Sometimes kids need a little firmness to help them mature. Overall this school helped me physically, mentally and spiritually throughout my college career and I am truly grateful for that

Just while searching for beaches in a 30 minute driving radius, we ran into this gem of a park that's so well maintained. They have ample free parking and the walk to the bay is so quick. The bay might not be the best to walk on as sand is relatively less with more gravels and getting down to it from the stairs is little difficult even for well grown adults. This could definitely be wheelchair accessible in a certain way. They also have few picnic enclosures and a memorial to one of their town's fallen soldiers. The walking pavement is neatly laid out for a calm, peaceful and relaxing walk. We went on overcast conditions and had to return to the car just before the rain caught up. Will definitely return here for summers to watch the sunset in this beautiful bay/park.
