The place is amazing with teachers that will help you every step of the way, one of them is Ron and he’s an awesome teacher and person, the students are great and very friendly, at the end of the hour they (Students) will ask you to roll with them, so you’re getting 1 hour and then 30 minute or more, extra to roll with someone. I’m highly recommend.

I came to Jiyu for their women's self defense class and had a great time! I don’t consider myself a very strong person so I was worried this would be a challenge for me. The coaches and professors were all so helpful and I was surprised with how much I was able to accomplish after just one class. I’m looking forward to taking another class and bringing some friends!
