Our parents tell us that our instructors are like “supercoachs” to their children, providing them with the positive role models they truly need to learn to set goals, and live a clean, happy, healthy lifestyle.

Dear Parent,
Children are like sponges: They absorb everything around them . . . even some nasty things we’d rather they didn’t.

Spend the break knowing that your kids are learning and experiencing the best life has to offer them from instructors that will be lifelong role models and mentors.

I absolutely love this gym. It has such a homey and family friendly vibe; it's made me feel a lot less homesick after I moved here. I've done the boxing, judo, jujitsu, and self defense classes and I'm never disappointed. The instructors are all well spoken and very knowledgeable (both within the specific classes and in general questions regarding techniques and muscle development & pain management).
I love the idea that they had to use the day time as a child care/virtual schooling area and another thing that really stood out to me is the care that they take regarding safety in the kids classes. One specific example being how the instructor (Rob) was checking the technique on their falls and while doing the throw, it was both slow enough for the child's size and he also supported their head/neck throughout the movement then provided feedback on how they could improve.
Lisa and Rob have a really good crew and do a great job with the gym!
Covid: They do take temperatures and record them at the door. I've also seen them stream classes for some people that weren't comfortable coming in, though that may be something you have to ask for specifically. I'm not 100% sure.

I have known the instructor here for many years and I have a ton of respect for him. He teaches the best krav maga classes in the area. The gym is set up very well with lots of space to move and very safe and clean. I highly recommend them!

The gym has some great instructors who are very knowledgeable about the programs they offer! The program that I favor is the kids and adult judo class. The instructors are all very well versed in what they teach and are versatile with the variety of age groups they work with (young children up to adults). They also make it feel more like a community than just a fitness/self defense class. It is nice seeing how they come together to teach the art and culture, and how to do things the right way to avoid injury. The only thing I dislike about the gym is that some classes aren’t consistent with the staff members. Even in those cases, they all are on the same page and very skilled. Otherwise it’s a pretty good gym! The owner knows just about every student’s name and makes a fairly welcoming atmosphere.

Ideally 6-12 years old, but every child is different!
Lunch, water bottle, comfortable shoes, swim wear on appropriate days. Please no electronics!
One of the best parts of our program is that every student is treated as an individual and progresses at their own rate.
Each student’s progress isn’t measured against other students, but rather against their own previous performance.
So, even students that aren’t as physically fit as the star quarterback of a football team can have a wonderful experience in our program and become stronger, fitter, and more flexible.
Our program not only gives your child a safe, inspiring summer activity, but also provides them with an AMAZING program of self-improvement, both mentally and physically.
Imagine resting easy, knowing your child is in competent, caring hands, keeping fit, getting plenty of physical exercise, learning to defend themselves, and becoming more confident, focused, and disciplined!
