Best dojo in the area. Excellent instruction and guidance from the entire staff. Positive experience altogether. Definitely check it out if you're interested.
I cant say enough good things about Mr Price. He has extremely creative classes. They are never the same and the harder skills are mixed in with games that make the little kids giggle. My son leaves sweaty everyday and begs to come back. I love the small sized classes that let my son get a lot of one on one instruction. The price is great. 10/10 will always come back.
Bottom line up front: Revolution is a top notch organization and our firsthand experience with kid karate, kid MMA, adult MMA, private lessons, and their 24/7 gym has been nothing short of spectacular. The instructors are excellent, the classes are great, the facility is clean, and the students are friendly and motivated. If you’re thinking of going here you should. We wanted our son to have some self-defense skills and after doing some research we decided that MMA was the best all around discipline for self defense. When you think of MMA you might think of cage matches which seems like a bad parenting choice for a kiddo… but that’s not what MMA is. It’s a combination of striking and grappling and you can apply it for self-defense or if you are an aspiring fighter you can apply it to a professional career in the UFC or similar. Many students at Revolution MMA are there for the self-defense. The atmosphere is friendly, collaborative, and chilled out. Coach Erik also coaches professional MMA UFC fighters. In fact, Coach Erik is a distinguished UFC fighter which I didn’t even realize for a long time because he’s such a humble person. Erik is an excellent instructor for both kids and adults… he does a great job explaining how and why and then weaves seemingly disconnected moves into a series of moves that flow together. It’s really cool when such moves naturally occur when sparring. Coach Erik also offers private lessons… they are well worth it! In addition, our son and daughter joined the kid karate class at Revolution. Master Price is an accomplished karate and MMA fighter and a superior instructor… he does a superlative job teaching the kiddos and perfectly balances being gentle and kind with kids while insisting on respect and discipline for everyone. Some of the older students assist Master Price with teaching younger students and they’re excellent as well…Learn one, do one, teach one. We’ve been to one Katate competition so far and during the opening remarks they talked about learning and teaching karate not just being about karate but about becoming a better person. Revolution Martial Arts is doing that…Teaching kids to work hard, challenge themselves, learn together, be kind, teach, earn promotions, and have fun throughout. Thank you everyone at Revolution!
My daughter was close with Master Swanson and his passing was really hard on her. After a couple months she finally decided to come back. Zach and Nick welcomed her back. They understood when she couldn't stay the first day back and have been very understanding. They have both evolved over the last year and I really feel the dojo has grown stronger. This is a great place and I would recommend it to anyone looking for martial arts training for their children. It also helps that the pricing is great.
After Master Jake's tragic passing, Zach and Nick did a great job carrying on the legacy. Classes are fun and engaging; instruction is casual but personalized for all levels of ability and intent. Classes are offered in a number of disciplines, for both children and adults. All the teachers are friendly and knowledgeable.
