“Absolutely love it here. You have to earn your way to each belt. It's not just handed to you. It's also wonderful how they discipline and redirect students. My children are probably the youngest here and it's been a wonderful and welcomed addition to our parenting and our children's behavior.“
“With amazing, supportive staff and a curriculum not only based in skill acquisition, but in learning life skills and self control, you couldn't ask for anything more from a MMA studio. My son goes here, loves going twice a week, and even actively participates in challenges such as watching no YouTube for a month (something that if I had recommended would NEVER have happened ?). I go to the adult classes as well and truly enjoy the challenge it brings as well as the practical self defense techniques that will help keep my son and I safe. The wonderful staff are truly what makes this studio like no other and I highly recommend.“
“As I parent, I appreciate that even at age 4, Our daughter is developing life skills from this experience. Initially I was unsure and thought perhaps she was too young to participate. What keeps us coming back is the staff and instructors. Mr and Mrs Baluch are so welcoming to all. Every instructor that we have interacted with has been so attentive and steady. Each student is held to the same standards of the Academy, which brings its challenges with the younger ones. It is evident that the instructors recognize the uniqueness of each child. This is a place where my daughter feels safe and welcome. We have seen a shift in her confidence around others. We anticipate that our daughter will participate in this important program for years to come.“
“Master Dan runs an amazing school. He has always been very welcoming to our family through the years. My children have learned so much about martial arts in addition to the many life lessons he has taught them through the years. I would recommend Zanshin to any family.“
“This is the best Multi-Martial Art Gym in the Omaha area and it isn't even close.“
“I'm a former TKD practitioner who is now in my late 40s. I wanted to try to learn a new art so I signed up for a Hapkido trial at Omaha Blue Waves. It's 4 months later and I am so glad I did. Hapkido is quite different from Tae Kwon Do, and the instruction I receive from Grandmaster Helaney and Mr. Humphrey is adding so much new knowledge and skill to the foundations I came in with. I truly enjoy every single session and the close-knit group that I am now a part of. For anyone interested in trying an eclectic, well rounded martial art I highly recommend Hapkido at Blue Waves.“
“Dropped in for a no gi class at the recommendation from folks on the bjj fanatics fb group. Great place to stop in to visit and train. Lots of mat space, really good instruction and good training partners. Everyone was really respectful and safe to roll with. Definitely recommend!“
