I've never seen someone care so much about every individual kid in Josh's classes. He knows them by name, he pays one on one attention to them and he genuinely cares. My son loves going to practice, his confidence is through the roof and he has excelled in his sport since going to The Dojo! If you're considering any part of an MMA discipline, just go and see for yourself!

We had driven past The Dojo many times before finally deciding to stop in and observe a class to see if martial arts might be a good fit for our 6-year-old son. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Josh, the owner. He invited our son to join the class that very day, making him feel instantly included and easing his nerves. Since then, our son has been attending for a few months and absolutely loves it. He’s staying active while gaining valuable lessons in respect, discipline, and understanding how to manage his strength and interactions with others. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend The Dojo!

I can't say enough great things about this place! At The Dojo, you have true athletes teaching your child not only martial arts and/ or gymnastics but blending in life skills such as discipline and respect along the way. The structure of their classes have this beautiful blend of focus and a time to listen alongside dodge ball or other games that are fun, but are also secretly teaching them about bodily/spacial awareness. I have sat back and watched my two children not only get physically but mentally stronger (hello ice baths) alongside gaining respect for themselves and others.... What more could any parent ask for from a studio? Very grateful for this place and their coaches!
