“We are part of the Spartan Academy Family for a year now and we love everyone there and the Lessons. We drive 30mins one way because there is nowhere better to bring your Kids to learn BJJ. Big Fans“

“Our 4 year old grandson, Cam, just started going to Black Tiger Tae Kwon Do and we hear he loves it! We can’t wait to see all the skills he learns both physically and also developmentally with discipline, patience, and responsibility.“

“Absolutely LOVE Mr. Rick and Mr. RJ! They are not just teaching the kids Karate, more importantly - they are shaping character through discipline, accountability (consequences), manners, confidence, and meaningful life lessons that will truly make a lasting impact! Highly Recommend!“

“I've trained under John on and off for 20 years, and I can't say enough good things about this school. He's an incredible instructor who genuinely cares about his students and creates a fun, welcoming environment for everyone.

The Women's Empowered program is a supportive, safe space for women to learn practical self-defense with an amazing group of people. No matter your experience level, you'll feel comfortable and encouraged.

My kids have also attended camps, classes, and seminars here over the years. I highly recommend checking this place out!“

“it's been a game-changer for my child with social and separation anxiety, and has helped my shy child break out of her shell and form meaningful friendships. It teaches so much more the self defense. They learn discipline, how to focus, confidence and so much more, so if you're looking for a supportive and safe environment with exceptional instructors, I highly recommend Columbia Martial Arts & Fitness - give them a call today and let your kids experience the transformative power of Martial Arts for themselves.“

“Great place. My daughter has been coming here since 2022. Her confidence has built up and she has learned so many moves in karate. Mr. David and Riley are great teachers.“

“Love this gym! It is smaller and much more personal than the usual big box gym. I didn't feel intimidated or overwhelmed by everything when I first went in. And it still has everything you need from cardio, free weights, circuit training, etc and you don't have to fight for a spot in line. If you are looking for a gym that has a much more laid back atmosphere while still having all the machines, etc. , this is your place! They have classes and personal training if you're interested but they are also very approachable if you just need help figuring out what machine does what. I'd much rather support my neighborhood small business, a family run gym, especially when it has everything I need and I feel comfortable there! 10/10 definitely recommend 👌“
