My sons are attending kids jiu jitsu classes and I could not be more impressed with the instruction they receive from Chris and the rest of the instructors. Chris offers a welcoming, safe environment that makes the classes fun while putting an emphasis on properly teaching fundamentals. My kids have learned so much in a short period of time, and they genuinely look forward to attending the classes. Thanks Chris!

Excellent instruction from a masters black belt gi and no gi world champion. Whether you looking for a good community, a different type of workout, solid self-defense, or to be a competitor, Chris provides a perfect environment, with the knowledge of a instructor whose game is competition proven. Would recommend to anyone!

Class act. From the moment we walked in we felt at ease and welcomed by Chris. The smile on my daughter's face says to me that we chose the right place. Clean, professional, discipline. Exactly what we were hoping for and more. GREAT JOB!

I brought my 6 year old son to Chris Howe on the heals of the lockdown. I needed something for him to do to burn some energy and I thought martial arts might be something we could do together. I was a little hesitant getting in the mat as I didn’t know what to expect. Four years later it has become a part of our life and we look forward to class every week. My son (now ten) is excited to bring his younger brother into the fold and we are all having a blast. Chris and Justin are a wealth of knowledge in the sport and the kids coaches are amazing. Shout out to Jonas, Gidon, and Jeremy! I highly recommend to anyone on the fence to come and give it a try.

If you are looking for a place to teach your kids discipline and emotional control, this is not the place. Owner Chris will humiliate your kid, and scream at him in front of everyone. He does not have the patience for little kids. Don’t waste your time and money, go to a place where they actually care about your kid.
