“I thought it would be funny to leave a review about a guy with a bad attitude who wants to learn how to beat people up that keeps walking in the door and outside. He can't figure out how he ends up outside the more forcefully he enters the door. He looks up at the frame, it says Aikido Door Company. If you need a locksmith get Lucky but if you need to flip your attitude and roll come here!“

“Dragon Martial arts is relatively new and is a gem that people might miss. Located in the same lot as Kings Paints, this martial arts studio has been a great place to send the kids on Saturday morning while I visit the farmers market just down the street. He's also open after school 4 to 6(?), I'm not sure when the last class starts; but it's a great activity for my son between homework and dinner.Master Will is a fantastic teacher. He's kind, patient, supportive, and great with kids. His school is open to all ages; during my visits it's been mostly kids. I know that Master Will has grown up around here and, being a local, he understands our community.Martial arts has been a wonderful exercise that teaches discipline and gives my kids something to work towards! If you have the opportunity, I'd recommend you give it a shot. The first class is free so it's worth checking out.“

“This place is awesome. Drew’s vibe and expertise is exactly what I was hoping for in a BJJ instructor: he keeps it fun and joyful while still explaining the techniques well and the seriousness of getting it wrong in a fight.I also love the combatives system that Gracie does to prepare new folks for successful and safe sparring. They also do fight simulation with gloves when you’re ready which is awesome.If you’re looking for a great BJJ gym that’s a ton of fun, without toxic egos, and great teachers who prioritize safety, then this is the place to be.“
