My kids just started attending here, and they’ve been having a lot of fun! The monthly fees are very affordable, and the staff is very helpful. recommend.
Sifu Mike is great. It's clean and friendly and has a great, welcoming atmosphere. Classes aren't just about martial arts - it's a mix of strength and conditioning and mental "zen" too. Best of all, he's great with kids of all ages, and successfully manages classes of both boys and girls starting at age 5 all the way up to us "big kids." Highlight of our Saturdays around here.
This recommendation comes with the highest review of all Martial Arts/Training places I've been to. And I have been to a lot of training facilities. Sifu Mike has all of the great qualities of a Martial Arts Teacher. He is knowledgeable, open minded, patient, and determined. I have worked with him for several hours a week on a weekly basis and consistent results where seen by following his exercises. His routines are practical, balanced, fun, and challenging. I put together a set of goals/learning routines that I was interested in and Sufi Mike took the time and effort to address each goal, and was experienced enough to provide the right training/feedback for my requests. I'm preparing myself for enlistment and to eventually teach others in self defense and I'm glad I found a learning place like this along the way. Compared to the other schools in the triangle, Mike's is my favorite.
My son has been taking mma and boxing classes for close to a year here. Sifu Mike is awesome and super knowledgeable he is an awesome teacher and I highly recommend his program. The progress my son has made is amazing. Thanks tkfmma you rock
I started martial fitness classes at TKF when I was 63 and I’m still going strong at 65. There was plenty I could not do when I first started. I have made significant progress thanks to Sifu Mike’s acceptance, support and instruction. Great school, great people.
