I had avoided martial arts for myself and family for years because of a fear I could not understand. After making the bold move to personally look into martial arts I found that the family that owns the center to be very friendly, welcoming, informative and knowledgeable. Joe the instructor is very patient with children, teens and adults. I find Joe to be a very good role model. The facility was very clean, the woman who I later learned is Kathy who works there as well to be very professional. It's a family run business and has a happy environment. I visited quite a few martial arts centers (which was scary for me) but found this one to be the best so far. I also want to note that the instructor Joe is as equally skilled teaching the adults like myself as the children.
