Mr. Garland has been an excellent teacher, for myself and my son. We both participate in group and private lessons. His trainings combine real-world applications of physical, mental and spiritual preparedness. Discipline is provided through a keen sense of empathy and patience for his students. Looking forward to watching his school grow!

Master Garland is a phenomenal teacher, and the most gifted martial artist I've ever known. Not only for adults, but for children as well. His patience and ability with neurodivergent children is absolutely legendary.

Mr. Garland is an excellent teacher who hones in on what an individual needs, both mentally and physically. For the LGBTQ folks - he's still learning about some of the newfangled genders out there, but he's got a big heart and a willingness to learn. He genuinely cares about each of his students and has an extra-soft spot for autistic & neurodivergent folks. If you want to really push yourself, the private lessons can double as brutal workouts, so don't forget to stretch and bring water!

I work as a security specialist and I've recently started training with Mr. Garland. He's a very patient and knowledgeable instructor who has helped me tremendously with sharing his skills, which has helped me become more confidence within my profession. I've also seen him work very well with Autistic children. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Mr. Garland.

Sensational!! I’ve been going for a few weeks now and greatly enjoy the classes and people! Chris Garland is incredibly patient and knowledgable, blending expert teaching with encouragement! The establishment is well maintained and I’ve never had an issue finding parking. As a woman, I’ve felt very safe and respected- if you’re on the fence about attending, I have full confidence in saying it’s worth it! 👍🏼
