I cannot say enough about this place. When I first walked in the door I could never have dreamt the profound impact that not only the sport but amazing people in this place would have on me. This pace had truly become a second home to my family, my wife, Daughter and Nephews have all been part of this program. Every instructor and training partner in here is top notch, each instructor offering his unique perspective and each training partner developing a game of their own. Not a day goes by that I dont share with someone just how much I recommend this place. Ken has done a Phenomenal job creating

Tai Kai is so much more than a place to work out and get in shape. Sure, Tai Kai offers excellent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and other classes... and its filled with so many knowledgeable teachers and instructors. But more than that, its a family, a home, a place to find encouragement and a place to find acceptance. Im so happy to have found this place, trying my first class was the best decision Ive ever made.
