One of the…read morebest decisions that I have made as a parent is enrolling my children at Battlefield Jiu Jitsu two years ago. Coach Jason as well as his coaching staff are excellent at teaching school age children and challenging them to be their best. The class incorporates the right amount of structure, discipline, physical fitness, and fun. There is always a good number of coaches on the mats so that each child can receive additional personalized guidance. Students are evaluated individually and promoted accordingly you won't get an eleven-year black belt here everything is earned not given. In addition to the awesome training environment the coaches are amazing human beings. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu has fundraisers and donates to charitable causes. The annual Christmas party is something that all the students look forward to every year. Battlefield Jiu Jitsu personifies the essence of martial arts and it shows in the coaching staff all the way down to the lowest belt student. If you are considering enrolling yourself or your children in a martial arts program look no further......... get down here and talk to coach Jason and start your 30-day trial ASAP

His confidence has grown, his hand-eye coordination has improved, and I've even been able to lean on his Sensei as another source of discipline and accountability--much more meaningful than just promising him treats for good behavior. I'm very thankful for the positive impact this school has had on my son, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a program that builds both character and skills.

I'm very pleased to see that he finally was able to open his own independent dojo to celebrate traditional Okinawan Uechi Ryu Karate, as well as the rich cultures that Okinawa brings. The Cultural Center has many artifacts in a museum style in a side room. There's also many people from the community like the DC Okinawan Kai who utilizes the space. It is a safe and welcoming space for not just Okinawan people, but those interested in learning more about the culture and tradition. This spacious dojo has two kicking/punching bags ready for training, many talented instructors, and classes for children and adult alike! I am excited for what's to come for this OKCC! I hope new students can find their new karate home like it's been for me throughout the years!

During that time, he hosted some of the Okinawan masters at his dojo, which is how we met. Those were great classes, and when it was time for me to find a new dojo, I joined Master Folta at his new location. It's a fine space, and the training there is authentic and excellent. Master Folta is kind and genuine, while also encouraging everyone to reach for the highest standards. His careful eye has improved my karate in many ways, large and small. I was careful in my choice of schools, and picked the best one in the area. I've seen his students, both kids and adults, get better over time and stay with the program. If you're serious about learning karate that works, this is the place I recommend. There is a lot to learn, and this is the real deal.

My husband and I went there to sign our son up for Saturday classes, we were told that we would have to give a month notice when we were cancelling. We relocated to Chantilly at the beginning of September, and my credit card is still being charged. I called the woman at the Gainesville location to cancel on September 4th, she didn't notify Global Financials until around September 22nd. When I contacted Global Financial, some woman whom I could barely understand told me that couldn't tell me why it takes so long to get the cancellation and also you have to give a 60 DAYS notice. I checked, most martial arts facilities(including the one we are currently using) require 2 weeks to 30 days notice. I submitted a fraud claim through American Express, it's currently pending. Life Champ Martial Arts in Gainesville is shady, untrustworthy with financial transactions, and commit unconscionable sales practices when signing up new customers. BE AWARE!!!!

Good evening, Best One Kick,…read more I attended a trial class at your school, and I want to be upfront about my experience. First, the environment felt overly strict and rigid--almost like a military school. Taekwondo should be about discipline, but it should also be enjoyable. The atmosphere felt way too intense for a beginner's class. Second, I found the instructors' teaching styles difficult to engage with. One in particular, the Korean instructor, was not effective at all. On the other hand, I did find the white instructor to be the only one who made the experience tolerable. Finally, the overall atmosphere of the facility was too distracting, and I just didn't feel comfortable there. I don't think this is the right place for me, and I won't be returning. Thank you for letting me attend as an examiner, but based on my experience, I don't believe this place is suitable for others either.

Everyone's body and skills are so different, and these instructors fully embrace that. Their goal in Krav Maga is not to teach us pretty kicks and impressive moves - their goal is to make sure we get home to our loved ones safely. It is all about developing your mindset, muscle memory, and instincts so that, when it really counts, you avoid the deer-in-headlights effect. Even as a beginner, I feel like I walk around my community in Manassas with more confidence and awareness and have learned how to reduce my chances of being a victim in the first place. If for some reason you don't feel like you have the time to commit to classes, I HIGHLY recommend you check out their monthly seminars! Women's Self Defense, Edged Weapon Defense, Car Jacking Defense, and the list goes on!! After watching many of the kid's classes, I love what I see!
