  The Jiujitsu here is top notch and it is not a secret. But it is a lot more than that. It is a fantastic community and I have seen it change countless lives over the years, kids and adults. I started here as a know nothing, day 1 white belt over 10 years ago but forgot to leave a review. I am currently over a year into my black belt now. My opinion is probably a little more biased but it comes with over 10 years of experience to back it.

  They don't care about your progress. This is not a fake review.

  First of all this is not a fake review. I trained here off and on since 2016 or so and it was totally different back then and in 2018 things took a turn. The instructors seem to care less if you get the technique or not. Often times class starts and there nobody there,.. people show up late including the instructor about 75% of the time. If you have anything to say about You are the problem,.. you’re not loyal! If you don’t bow down and treat them like Gods then too bad for you! Maybe 1 or 2 people show up maybe 50% of the time to Saturday self defense. Unless you’re self motivated 100% to be a champion you won’t get the time of day. Blind Loyalty matters more than anything else here. Avoid it

  I have been training at Katharo for 8 months and I can truly say it has changed my life, for both my mental and physical health. As a woman, I have always felt safe and cared for by the staff and other students. I had no prior experience before starting and they were so welcoming and always made sure I felt comfortable.

  Since the beginning, the instructors have shown they care about my son and the challenges he faced when he first started. They have always recognized and encouraged his efforts, which has made such a positive difference in his confidence. I also really appreciate that the gym isn’t overly loud. They turn the music off whenever they’re giving instructions, which makes it so much easier for the kids to pay attention and learn. I also like that they incorporate games that keep the children engaged in classes. Every time I have a question, the professors are always willing to talk with me and help clear up my doubts. My son’s progress has been incredible—his growth is clear to see, both in his technique and his confidence and it’s nice to see how he has fun in the classes.
