Review from Ulyana K.

I started attending this school a bit over a year ago and it was one of the best decisions I have made. I take the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) classes, Adult Karate classes, Cage Fitness classes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsue classes, and have now started the Kickboxing classes. Each class is a different type of training and I love every bit of it. The school has improved my stamina, strength, posture, flexibility, has given me technique and so much more. I can have a really bad day and I will know that I will leave training in a happier state of mind that evening. Even though I still have A LOT more to learn, Sensei Vlad has taught me things that I have never believed I could do.
In addition, my 4 year old niece started taking the Little Tigers classes and absolutely loves it. The sensei's make the class fun and educational. My niece looks forward to it every day.
Definitely worth the time to try out this school. -

I have to say that I was very impressed with many things about this school and the people who run it. It's very organized and clean which is something I look for when chosing an establishment to work out in. The teachers are really into their craft and you can tell that they thoroughly enjoy leading the classes. I happened to take the kickboxing class and it kicked my butt!! (In a good way of course). Vlad, who taught the class was attentive and actually corrected my form!! Very rarely do you have a teacher who comes up to you in a class full of people and corrects you. That gets a gold star in my book! I also loved the energy that he possessed. After class, I approached him to find out about other programs offered at this school and was very pleased when he wanted to know more about my GOALS. I loved that.
This place is really great for everyone, from toddlers to adults. I really appreciate that it's family oriented! I plan on coming back many times over, and next time I'm bringing my friends!! -
