Testimonials
Read what some of our members have said about the club.
“I was shocked during my son’s first class to see sensei’s teaching skills, and his ability to capture his student’s attention, interact with, acknowledge, and encourage each and every child. As a high school teacher by profession, I know how difficult this can be. I also appreciate the real- life discussion on how to deal with bullying. Students were having fun, learning a sport, getting a great workout, and learning valuable life skills”

“I just want to thank you and tell your staff how great you guys are. My son and daughter have learned more self defense in 2 months than in 1 year of Tae Kwon Do. My child was bullied for years in 2nd grade, but now he has self confidence that improved so well that he has not had a conflict and is not afraid anymore.”

“JC has been attending your class over the last five weeks, and instantly changes occurred in JC’s personality. Within three weeks — new found confidence. Received student of the month. When he brought it home there was a note attached from his teacher saying ‘Very good start to his school year. Already made steps in the classroom to become a better active listener. Made a solid effort with his homework and home reading assignments.’ These are all qualities you strive your students to accomplish and I really appreciate it.”

“When I was told about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I thought it was another Martial Art that wasn’t for me. It turns out I didn’t know myself well enough. The principles and technique of BJJ proved to be exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something that would challenge me physically, but most importantly mentally. I’m able to learn, and now invent, strategy to help me complete a challenging goal. I can defend myself successfully against a stronger and bigger opponent. The physical workout, apart from being one of the best you can find, is just an added bonus to the main benefit of the sport, which is thorough self development. I suggest BJJ for anyone who has some questions left unanswered in their life or just wants to come out and have some fun.”

“I probably don’t need to remind you of the benefits of martial arts. Fitness, flexibility, focus, and self-defense, to name a few. I certainly found all of these at the Kohbukan Judo Club, and something I wasn’t expecting — a grappling family. Judo and Jiu Jitsu require partners for practice and my training partners are like a family. We look out for each others well being on the mats, teach each other new techniques, correct each others mistakes, and celebrate each others successes. At any given class the grappling family can be made up of men and woman, some half my age, others 20 years older than me. On the mats, these distinctions cease to matter. What becomes most important is a shared love of grappling, and our desire to advance each others games. Our best tournament fighters win because of time spent rolling with our recreational members. Our recreational members get that next belt promotion from rolling with our tournament fighters. Fitness level, size, and age don’t matter. The family will make you a better grappler.”
