I took my son and nephew to the intro class today and they loved it! I love that the classes are kept small. They really take their time to help the kids learn. I can't wait for my son to start in a week. I couldn't get him to do karate or anything else but he jumped right in and couldn't stop talking about it all day! He's 5 years old and his cousin is 6. They had such a great experience. I don't think they're over priced.

My child absolutely loves his classes. So far, we've only had good experiences here. The coaches are firm with the kids but it's jiu-jitsu, not ballet. And my son already knows when he steps on the mat, it's serious time.

This place was great. Stopped by for some training while visiting family in Modesto and was very impressed at the welcoming environment I encountered. The instructors there gave a very solid, detail oriented class that focused on the details of this move. The attitude of the students was great as well, intense rolling but no jerks. Very clean and well kept school. Positive competitive environment that is well worth your time and money.

I dropped in for a couple of evening gi classes. The gym was very clean and the students were welcoming. The instruction was great, it was very clear that all the instructors knew their stuff. Good class size with plenty of opportunity to roll, I would definitely recommend it!

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
