Reviews
Master Ricardo is so good with the kids! Students are taught to train with each other not against each other. Our 6-year-old granddaughter has learned so much in the 6 months we have been attending and she has gained so much confidence! Finally, it is such a bargain: one monthly price!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
