I have been training now at the Nashville Dojo for a little over a year and have studied Karate, Kenpo, Muay Thai, JKD, and FMA at other schools in the past. Sensei Reed is an excellent instructor and one of the best I have ever had. Classes are taught in a traditional format but with modern day concepts applied. Both the sporting and self defense aspects of the art are emphasized. The students are friendly and there is something there for everyone no matter what you are looking for out of the martial arts.
