“I'm a student at sma I love his classes so I'm trying to let my friends try it“

“I highly recommend Do-Krav Combatives! I had the chance of meeting David over the weekend and I was able to witness how patience and knowledgeable he is! His classes are engaging and fun. Dont miss the chance to train with David and book that class today 😀“

“My family started practicing karate at PPMA back in November 2020, and I joined several weeks after that. It's a good family activity and Sensei Bill is great about adapting the class to all students in attendance. I also appreciate that we can arrange to do Zoom classes if we can't make it to the studio. I highly recommend this place!“

“Studied Tai chi here and also have been treated with herbs and acupuncture! Fantastic results! Thank you!“

“I went to this place for a tournament yesterday and it was really fun, I don't train here but it seems fun to be able to train at this gym ?“

“I’ve watched my first two children blossom here - my stepson is a teen now and about to test for brown belt, and it has given him so much confidence and athleticism. My daughter has been going since age 4 and is now 7, and this is her only consistent activity over the years. I see the skills she has learned translating into other seasonal sports and activities, as well as increasing her ability to make friends and try new things like biking and rock climbing without fear. The private lessons have forged bonds between her and her training partners that I can tell will be lifelong. My husband and I just started training last year too and we love it! We drive over half an hour because we love this place so much. I highly recommend this place for children and adults alike.“

“Way Of The Crane is a very special place and fantastic dojo. My 11yo has gone here for a year and we all love it. The instructors are truly invested in the development of the children and go out of their way to work one on one with the kids. Melanie Sensei is an incredible teacher-firm, honest, motivating, funny, and full of wisdom. Everyone here really cares and takes the time to teach from the heart. The values that are instilled here will last a lifetime. We tried other dojos in the past but this dojo is authentic and so worth our time and love. Thank you so much for all your care with our kiddo!!!“

“This place is awesome!! The instructors know what they are talking about. They are patient with my self and daughter. I feel healthier and stronger.i like it here!!“

“Me and my twin brother attended there from ages 6-16.

One of the best experiences I could’ve possibly asked for. The Louisville taekwondo community and family and master Kim were truly one of a kind. They are so caring and kind and offered so much support to their students. In addition to martial arts and self defense This place taught me so much about discipline and hard work, but also maintaining a good balance within your life. They also teach you how to have a more positive attitude towards life. Overall placing your children into a community like will shape and grown them with many skills other in addition to martial arts.

Thank you so much for everything Master Kim and family— I owe much of what I have achieved and what I will continue to achieve to the Louisville taekwondo family!“

“My son has been attending this place for nearly 2 years by now. We absolutely love it! He enjoys it each class and always wants to come back. Owners create family atmosphere and care for kids. They teach them respect, responsibility, how to be organized in addition to physical skills. Thank you!“

“I am very happy that everyone is so warm and welcoming! It’s a real community. That’s a treasure. Plus the Aikido classes themselves are very inspiring. I look forward to every class.“

“Scientific martial arts has been the best thing for me because it has helped me with my confidence and the people here are one of the kindest people you will ever meet.“

“We train people in Sambo, jiujitsu, MMA and Soviet inspired strength training with multiple full weight rooms.“

“I had my son’s 9th birthday party at Peak Martial Arts and I am SO PLEASED with the way it turned out. Our time was nicely spaced out and nothing felt rushed. From shooting basketballs and playing arcade games to an epic nerf war (the dads even jumped in!), everyone had a great time! My son had such a great time we are looking at the after school program. Customer service and communication was fantastic and the price was right. We will be supporting this local family owned business as much as we can…. And, most importantly, all these kids (and dads!) will sleep good tonight!“

“I’ve been training at Zingano since 2024 and can honestly say it’s a special place.

The coaching is exceptional. The instructors bring decades of combined experience across Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, MMA, and professional competition, but what impresses me most is their ability to teach. Whether you’re preparing for competition or simply trying to become stronger, healthier, and more capable, they meet you where you are and help you improve.

Just as important is the culture. People work hard here. Training is challenging. Teammates push each other to get better every day. At the same time, it’s done with a level of respect that’s becoming increasingly rare. There is a strong sense of humility throughout the gym, and that allows everyone to learn, grow, and train hard without unnecessary ego.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve seen significant growth in myself—not just physically, but mentally as well. Zingano has played a meaningful role in that.

For anyone looking for serious martial arts training from experienced fighters and coaches, combined with a culture built on respect, discipline, and continuous improvement, I highly recommend Zingano.“

“Can't say enough good things about CTI and this location! Grandmaster Albrechtson and Johnson are simply the best. It is such a blessing to have people you trust, who love your children and help teach them respect, self awareness and defense if needed. We couldn't be more thankful for this community!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Professor Jubera and his school. I feel safe and accepted. The curriculum is excellent. Professor Jubera is patient and dedicated to his craft, as well as his students. The other black belts are just as caring and dedicated as he is. I tried other schools around Denver and found myself going back to Jubera time and time again. I have so much respect for him. Can’t recommend enough.“

“My son has attended classes at Synergy for 3 years now. He is 10 currently. Scott has always been patient and positive with him as he progresses and learns new skills to protect himself. Its been fun to watch him grow and build confidence. Highly recommend this studio.“

“Amazing people at this gym. Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. Make you feel at home right away.“

“Limitless is a great environment for kids and adults. My older son attended and now my 13 year old is loving it. The coaches are positive and encouraging.“

“My 8 year old daughter has loved every class! She really enjoys the instructors and her focus has improved greatly!“
