As a parent, you strive and want your kids to be respectful, responsible and productive human beings and I really want to thank Professor Shawn, for helping to coach and teach these values and standards that are very important to me. You and your kids will love it here.

Great gym! I had a good experience. The coaches and professors answered any of my questions and we all got some good reps in.

Things happen in life, our schedules and our finances may not always be at a comfortable place. Coach Nelson and coach Shawn have been there to support my kids and my family on and off the mat. They work with our schedules and support us even if we couldn't make it. These two guys and their families have become family to us. And I just want to thank them for all they have done!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A BLUE BELT?
