“been training here for a few years now, it's a small neighborhood school and many of the adult students live in the area, so it's very community oriented and people are genuine, respectful and kind. the school's origin is in kajukenbo lineage and while it has that toughness there's a nice balance between formal martial arts school and mma gym. it helps to know what you want to do and be able to communicate that, whet”
