    My 4 year old started training here first with the Tiny Champs class, and we all loved it so much that I joined myself!

    The coaches are amazing with the kids, especially with the wiggle worms that can’t sit still on a dot. He’s tried lots of sports and some ninja warrior classes but none have kept his attention as much as this AND he is genuinely thrilled to go. The coaches remember tiny details and stories about each kid - it is such a family friendly environment.

    The adult class - absolutely amazing too! Not only are the coaches helpful but so are others in the class. If you’re thinking about joining but worried about being new, do it anyway. You’ll be welcomed as if you’ve been training for years!

    I waited two months and about 20 sessions before I decided to write a review to make sure I got it right.

    I’m 65 years old and I wish I had done this 30 years ago. Ernie & Anne are passionate about martial arts and the students well being. No matter the age you will get personal attention and instruction. You will get in better shape!!

    All of the instructors bring their knowledge and passion to the classes. You’ll get multiple techniques from every instructor. Updates and variety of classes are constantly being announced.

    Safety awareness is a large aspect of the training but don’t expect light work, you will be pushed. This is exactly what I signed up for. You get what you put into it, so go for it.

    Money well spent.

    We've been so impressed by the Tiny Champs program for ages 4-7. With my son starting at age 4, I was nervous about the age range at first, but it's been great to see how the little ones look up to the bigger kids, and this mentality is fostered and reinforced effectively by Ms. Anne. Not only do they teach useful physical skills, but there is also focus on positive mindset and respect which (IMO) are difficult concepts for kids to grasp in a class setting- and they really nail it! I've been amazed by the positive transformation in my little guy in just a few months. The Kirks (owners Anne and Ernie) are doing great things for these kids! We also celebrated my son's 5th birthday here and it was a wonderful party and experience. Thank you Ms. Anne and Mr. Kirk!

    The level of care and professionalism here blew me away. My son was nervous on his first day, but the instructor took him under his wing immediately. Now he looks forward to every class. Wonderful school with even better people.

    Kirks Martial Arts exceeded our expectations, teachers are fun and firm. Our 5y old loves to go there (we go even 4x a week how much he loves it!) and learn through play/games. He has that smile when he is super excited (the whole time) but tries to hold back excitement.
    We canceled pretty much every other activity for him and just go here, I feel that they cover everything from discipline, commitment and fun.

    I've been looking for a great self defense class and I'm glad that I took my son here for a trial. He loves it here and I do see a gradual increase in self-confidence. I love how the teachers here teach respect and that self defense is not to bully or attack others. Thanks again Kirk and Anne for the great class.

    It’s taken me way too long to post a review of this amazing gym. I signed up in January after having dabbled in Krav before and wanted to get back into it. The owners and instructors are phenomenal! Not only has my fitness increased, but I’m also now a part of a great and supportive community and my confidence has rocketed. If you’re anywhere near the area and on the fence about trying it out, this is the place to do so. You won’t be disappointed!
