I was very hesitant to try any martial arts because I had no prior experience, but I’m so glad I was introduced to Sensei Anthony Sells. His many years of experience, patience, and knowledge have helped me grow and become more confident in my learning journey. Sage Arts Studio also has an amazing group of people who make the environment fun, welcoming, and comfortable especially for someone just starting out. I’m truly grateful to be part of this community.

My 9 year old son started Sage martial arts nearly 3 months ago ( private lessons) and I must say Sensei Anthony Sell is exactly to the tee what my son needed to grow.

Sifu Sell is one of the most knowledgeable instructors in the area and an amazing person to train with.

This is a wonderful place to learn self defense and more no matter what your level is. The students and staff are welcoming and supportive. Besides learning skills, I've also gotten support on how to use certain stretches to relieve wrist pain build strength.

The instructor is highly skilled and knowledgeable in martial arts but demonstrates a significant lack of professionalism. During the 2024 election period, he frequently made inappropriate and offensive remarks about the president-elect during training sessions. For example, he stated that “the best thing Trump could do in office would be to die” and expressed hope that “Iran would get him,” all in front of students. When approached about these comments, the instructor responded unprofessionally, creating a scene in front of the class and offering only a dismissive apology, stating he was “sorry for offending you,” rather than taking accountability for his behavior. Additionally, he charged me $260 for two months of classes I did not attend due to his unprofessional and immature conduct. I strongly advise against signing up at this gym if you are looking for an instructor who embodies humility, professionalism, and maturity.

Seriously check Sage out. It’s open to adults as well as kids with complete beginner and advanced lessons. I walked in wanting to learn some self defense and ended up learning an enormous amount about mobility, combat, and all sorts of arts. Incredibly valuable classes.
