He is now 14, he is able to attend the kickboxing classes, which he loves! Now he goes M,T,W,Th,&F!! Most days he goes for both: Kids MMA & Fitness Kickboxing. The connections he has made with other students as well as the instructors are so invaluable and something that he will always have with him. HUGE shout out to Bodie for supporting my son and being such an amazing role model!! I couldn't be more thankful. :)

But I've been coming here about a month, and from my first day I felt welcome and valued. All the instructors made an effort to meet me and learn my name, identified my areas of strength and weakness, and were super accommodating when I didn't know what I was doing. I felt like they caught me up to everyone else in the class very quickly and without judgement. I've lost 5 pounds and gained quite a bit of muscle definition since starting here. I did try two other gyms for fitness kickboxing which were good (nothing bad to say about them) but Warrior's Cove definitely gave me the most comfortable, non-judgemental, and personable atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.

This is a great place to learn self defense quickly and effectively…read more Rick Faye is a great instructor. He is personable, friendly, accommodating, and interested in the wellbeing of his students. There are no belts here. Most of the people here are completely fatal so everyone is polite. This is a teaching environment where people joy in helping others to learn. Many of the people here have been in special forces, work in SWAT, or extensive other training, so the whole Karate Kid Black Cobra syndrome of sport fighting is missing. Students here are not looking to prove something, so bring your humility and positive attitude and it will be returned to you. As mentioned on the webpage, arts that are in the school's repertoire include Muay Thai, Kali, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, Grappling, and Panantukan/Boxing.

We so appreciate the community, instruction and teachings we are receiving there. Mrs. Boston offers fantastic instruction and she creates a wonderful community of students. She also offers an after school program that includes healthy snacks, homework time as well as a full TaeKwonDo class. All classes are mixed ages and gender and there is a feeling of respect and kindness that just permeates the space. We are glad we found this space and we look forward to growing as a result.

I've hesitated to write a review for Omulu since I consider this place as a second family, but now…read morethat Omulu has a Yelp presence, it's time! I started taking classes a little over 2 years ago with Omulu. I'd never done capoeira before and had maybe seen a video or commercial with capoeira to know know what it was. I came to class in reasonable shape, but I'm wasn't/am not an athlete. Nor do I have a martial arts background. I took to classes right away because the whole experience was so positive. Even though my opening moves were likely clumsy and off-balance, no one ever makes me feel like I'm okay for a beginner or should look for another hobby. Have you tried knitting, Kate? That positivity has lasted through training. Everyone moves at their own pace and is there for the love of capoeira and the community. Omulu is unique in that we don't learn only how to do the physical aspects of capoeira. We learn to sing and play instruments that are all part of the capoeira tradition. We are a group of people with varying abilities and that even a 7.5 pregnant person (me currently) can find a way to participate. If you're looking for a new fitness hobby, and a challenge, capoeira is worth a try.

My son has taken classes at Omulu for 5 months now and it has been an amazing addition to our…read morefamily! Right off the bat, every adult and child was nothing but encouraging to my son. He had never taken any sort of gymnastics or martial arts, so his body control was not stellar, but he was encouraged and cheered on as he learned capoeira. We never have to fight him to go to class. He loves every second of it and he feels so good about himself when he walks out. That's a big deal when you're talking about an 11 year old boy. We are so happy to have stumbled into capoeira at Omulu and it will definitely be a part of my son's life for many years to come.

I had twin boys, aged 9 that attended Dojo Karate Waconia/Minnetonka for about 2 1/2 years. They…read morewere very disappointed that they had to dis-enroll for Covid related reasons. I wanted to share what we liked about Dojo and why we'll miss it: 1. Any great experience starts with great people. Master Cote was a great leader for the kids and she genuinely cared about her students. 2. Master Cote has produced some amazing athletes. My kids were always impressed by the abilities of the older kids. I don't think they'll ever stop talking about the time one student did a backflip. 3. Both of my boys absolutely loved the head instructor. He had great patience with all the kids and seemed like one of the most trustworthy people I've ever met. 4. I thought the pricing was extremely fair and Master Cote very easy to work with in regards to tuition. 5. My kids really enjoyed the Dojo tournaments and I thought they were very well run. Something I didn't think about when we started is, because of the size of Dojo with their multiple locations, they are able to put on large events like that. 6. I always like the different community focused initiatives that Dojo participated in. Food drives and school supply drives were great ways to engage the kids; and Dojo always had a special event to show their appreciate for the kids. Those are just some of the reasons that quickly come to mind. We're disappointed that it had to end, but my boys still walk around the house doing their moves.
