Mrs. Ackerman has an amazing heart and cares for each student as if they were her own. Mr. Black makes martial arts fun and exciting. My kids developed not just skills in Bjj and karate but also are more respectful, and have more self esteem.
If you want your kids to enjoy martial arts, this is the place to go. They offer a great variety of workouts and skillsets for all ages. The staff is just wonderful. Very professional, patient, and work great with students and parents. You can see how the staff enjoys what they do, and go the extra mile to encourage students and family members. We have been going for over a year and my little one still looks forward to her classes and next belt challenge.
I love this place, best Karate studio. My 3 children attend and are almost to their black belts. So appreciative for Ms. Connie & Mr. Black.
