"I used to be there and there were so fun and they were so helpful with me. I miss it."

Bella Nelsen

"I take the adult Integrated Combat Arts class. I had no martial arts experience before joining. Everyone is welcoming and supportive. The instruction is great. It's challenging without being overwhelming, and I like being able to get different perspectives from the three different, wonderful instructors. It's good exercise, useful for self defense, and it's interesting to learn a mix of different disciplines. The classes tend to be small, so you get a lot of personal instruction. The other students are awesome people. I learn so much from them too. Everyone works hard, but we have fun. It's a safe, encouraging environment. You'll love the community and the instruction."
