This is a serious school for serious training and serious fun. My daughter has been training for 9 of her 13 years and this class killed her, a brutal workout. She insisted we sign up. My 9-year-old loves it too.

My 7 year old son started last year and it has nothing but a fun learning experience for him. He is learning skills that I know will help him throughout his life and the discipline he is learning will always guide him to do the right thing. Both of the instructors are really good and have a lot to teach and pay attention to individual kids telling… and fixing small errors and techniques throughout the class. Class size is also within reason and not too crowded. I highly recommend this to any parent thinking of having their kids learn a skill that will indeed give them an edge on their peers
