Awesome place to take your kids. My 5 year old absolutely loves it and the instructor Nick is great with her. She's learning discipline and self defense in a fun environment and it's affordable.Transfered her from another place to this one and haven't been disappointed at all. He also has fun events for the kids which is awesome.I've only seen him with the kids classes so can't attest to his adults classes but his kid ones are always great and the kids absolutely seem to be having a blast while learning.Would and have recommended this school to everyone I've met that's looking for one.
