Now, two years later, nothing has changed and I mean that in the best way possible. All of the instructors, coaches, and professors are still amazing. I never left and I'm still training Jiu Jitsu here as an adult.

It creates an incredible environment and a real sense of community. Amazing school and wonderful experiences! OSS

Jonas is the Muay Thai instructor who I have also had the opportunity to train with in the past. He tries to tailor the class to the needs and goals of the students.. whether it's to get in shape, learn self defense, or eventually fight in the ring, which he has a lot of experience with as well. I have been wanting to get back into regular Martial arts training for quite some time and I am glad I found out about this 10th planet gym. I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking to learn martial arts or needs a fun way to stay in shape.

I have been going to AMAF since February and it has changed my life. I am a student here so I know…read morewhat I am talking about. Negative reviews here are complete BS, all of them. None of them is the fault of AMAF. This is not a gym. I repeat this is NOT a gym. So, if you say I wanted to go to the gym and blah blah, you are a very special kind of stupid because the name says it, Adrenaline Martial Arts and Fitness. Where did you find the word Gym? If want to do weights or if you want to "workout" after work, stay away! This is not for you. We sacrifice work and family life, as do our sensei and staff, make plans, show up, wear our gears and learn how to be disciplined and defend ourselves. Not how to look pretty, for that call 1800-LOOK-PRETTY. Here we partner up and practice martial arts, serious martial arts. This is NOT a gym (for the third time). Most importantly this is an extremely kid friendly environment. Parents are always present and everywhere, coaches are attentive and caring, and the facility is safe and family oriented. Bring your little prince or princess and let them learn some of the most valuable lessons in life: discipline, courage, courtesy, self-defense, teamwork, self-esteem, etc. (Some of the coaches here are law-enforcement. It's that safe) I have seen some of the fiercest little-fighters and politest kids here. Give your kid something to carry with them forever you wont regret it. Since Feb I practice under sensei A. He is awesome, hardworking, and very involved. He is patient but will also kick your butt if you sit there like a bag of potatoes. Do the sitting at home, here you get your butt moving. Good news is you will drop weights like you have never dropped before. I lost 7 pounds in two weeks, and it was a record for me* so far (I also drastically changed my diet and had not had a single sip of soft drinks, a bite of fast food, or a single piece of fried food since Feb). All thanks to my sensei and the group of dedicated people that encourage me to show up everyday so they can kick my ass for a good hour straight and the staff that are friendliest and the bestest ;) *It is not recommended to lose more than 2 pounds per week. It is unsafe. I did not try to lose that weight. I actually fed myself very well and did not starve myself and kept my body completely hydrated. I just had more than 7 hrs of intense workout and it paid off.

I'm writing this review to bring awareness to other parents who may be considering martial arts…read moretraining for a child who is on the Spectrum . My intention is not to criticize the quality of the program, the facility is well run, the instructors are skilled, and the overall training offered is great. One of the main reasons I chose Adrenaline Martial Arts was because they are listed by the I.E. Autism Society as a facility able to support children with these needs, and I was also referred to them by IRC. Because of that, I felt confident that my son would be entering an environment equipped to work with him. Unfortunately, based on our experience, the academy is not fully prepared to support children on the autism spectrum. Even though I was upfront during the screening process about my son's disability and specific needs, it became clear over time that the program was not structured in a way that allowed him to succeed. While the staff was never unkind, they didn't seem to have the tools or training necessary to work with children who require additional support. I am sharing this so that other parents of children on the Spectrum can make an informed decision, and in hopes that the academy will take a closer look at how they screen new students with disabilities and how they can better support them moving forward. Adrenaline Martial Arts is a strong program, but it may not be the right fit for every child especially those who need specialized attention or accommodations.
