“My nephew had a hard time wanting to start the process.... But they worked with him.... Took the extra time to talk to him and relate. They are great at encouraging and cheering on everyone. I also like that the class has varying ages. It's a very welcoming place.“
“Great training. They push you to be better but at your own pace. Great instructors and all are great at helping you develop.“
“My son started a few weeks ago and loves the classes at American Martial Arts Academy. He really enjoys and looks forward to the going to the classes. The moment he walked into the studio he was graciously greeted by the instructors. They were welcoming and helpful. No pressure to join, just informative and welcoming. The team at American Martial Arts Academy provides a nurturing the supportive environment for the kids. The studio definitely feels like a family owned business. They are attentive to each child and knows them by their name. It's nice to be to hear yours child's name as you enter the studio. Makes you feel at home.“
“My eldest started when she was 8 yo. She went through the program and received her black belt. My son is currently attending, started when he was 4 yo and will be testing for 3rd degree bb soon. In all, we've been here for 16 years straight. They have both competed in comptetion with great results. Whether to build confidence, discipline, set goals, or compete, this place is the best place to learn under Master Victor.“
“What a wonder gym with a great atmosphere and fantastic instruction from world class instructors. the space is made for all ages and abilities and is incredibly welcoming for advanced and new students alike. Cleber is very personable and a great instructor that genuinely cares for his students and wants only the best for them from travelong to tournaments to coach to one on one lessons you should come here for world class training.“
“This review is specific for the kids classes from a parent.As a family joining CheckMat with no previous martial arts background, CheckMat has exceeded our expectations.From day one, the instructors have each been welcoming and fair to all kids in the program. There is no question that the instructors all enjoy teaching jiujitsu to children of different skill levels and ages, it’s definitely a passion of theirs and because of that, the kids safety and instruction is tailored to challenge each kid on an individual basis.As a parent, watching your children develop life skills, gain confidence, improve their fitness, respect others, enjoy competition, and have fun/laugh at the same time is all you can ask for - and that we get with every class we send our kids to.We are extremely happy with our experience at CheckMat and would recommend it to others looking for a challenging and supporting activity for their family.“
“I signed up expecting to learn self defense techniques, but Coaches Ken and Allison have been able to create a positive community in addition to teaching practical self defense techniques. The other students in the class are very supportive of each other, wanting to help each other get better. In addition to the techniques, the coaches also talk about mental awareness, bringing their real world experience to each class. I highly recommend giving the school a try.“
“Master Chris and all of the staff are excellent. They are especially patient with my shy son giving him confidence, extra time when he needs it and patience. Class is fun, kids are in great spirits and enjoy coming each week. They also reinforce respect, talk to the kids about creating good habits and kindness. Highly recommend for all ages.“
“Terry is great trainer, motivator, and really patient. My now 10 year old son has been training with T for a year now and I have seen so much progress. Terry motivates yet makes it fun for my son to enjoy every training session. So, if you're looking for a great trainer, Terry is definitely your guy! Thanks T for your dedication and professionalism as a trainer. We're looking forward to many more years! ? ?“
“I can't recommend this gym enough! It's run by Kevin and Haley, both black belts, and you can immediately tell that they pour their heart and soul into the gym. They treat everyone like family, creating an incredibly welcoming environment. The matt space itself is fantastic--spacious, full of natural light, and clean! It's clear they take pride in every detail. Whether you're new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or experienced, professor Kevin and Haley are not only highly skilled but also extremely humble and caring. They truly care about each student's progress and are always there to help and encourage. If you're looking for a gym that combines top tier training with a warm, family-like atmosphere this is the place to be!“

“I really love how Sensei Daniel runs his dojo. Everyone learns at their own pace and there are opportunities for the younger ones to learn from older students and for more experienced students to help less experienced ones (regardless of age). We have been with this dojo since 2019. When our youngest gets old enough, we plan to enroll her as well.“

It encapsulates the essence, passion, and values of martial arts. The owner, a paragon of integrity, respect, and kindness, is a role model I aspire to emulate in both my personal life and career.

“We love the self-defense Dojo! It has helped build confidence and the instructors are great! Very clean and courteous and professional and fun!!“
“My daughter started karate in Feb 2022. We love how this place is very family friendly. Kids are learning to have self control and discipline. I can tell they all respect their Sensei and learning all the kempo and combinations. I didn't think my daughter is going to last, but after 6 months she's got her purple belt. It was hard work, but rewarding at the same time. It builds self confidence and get them to move around. I highly recommend this place.“
“This place is amazing I come here with my little brother and they teach new techniques for self defense the people are very loving and supportive and the environment is very friendly“
“My daughter has been training here since 2021, 2 years of training so far. We came here looking for my 13-year-old to stay out of trouble and keep busy. After 30 days of training and improving, she became addicted. Fast forward to now, she's a beast. We are so grateful to Professor Javier for taking Lexi under his wing to train her as hard as he has. We consider Javiers BJJ Dojo as a second home and everyone there as family.* Challenging mentally and physically* Discipline* Great Professor and students that help* Competitions* Stress relief* Awesome workout“
