She has been going for almost a year and feels really at home. The coaches are amazing they really take the time to explain everything in a way the kids understand and can learn from. My daughters confidence is growing and so is her patience. They are disciplined but still keep it fun and engage even the littlest kids. The coaches are attentive and patient with new students to help them learn in a welcoming environment. We have felt welcome since day 1. The facility is really clean, well maintained and organized. Class schedules are very consistent and always run on time. I would strongly recommend anyone interested in Jiujitsu to join.
