I have attended this facility as a student for several months. I began with a free trial class and immediatley found myself drawn to the people and the techniques. I joined after checking out two classes. I would recommend this type of martial arts for anyone interested in self defense or law enforcement. The costs are reasonable. The location is only a few minutes off of 495. Classes vary in number of people ranging from five to ten any given day. The class offers a strong cardio workout in addition to practice techniques. Be prepared to laugh and sweat!
