My wife and I went to the House of Martial Arts based on a promotional offer they had around St. Patricks Day (wonderful deal, btw) and before the first class was over we felt that this was a place that we could see ourselves wanting to come to. The facility is super clean (they take pride in how much they do to keep it sanitary), the staff and instructors are extremely amicable and encouraging while giving you lots of one on one attention, which is great as a beginner! They offer a variety of classes including: Fitness kickboxing, Hawaiian Kenpo/Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA training classes. Each of these has different areas and techniques that are the focused on depending which day of the week it is. For example, for Kenpo, Mondays are stand-up fighting/combat kickboxing, Wednesdays and Saturdays are Jiu-Jitsu grappling (ground fighting) days, and Fridays are stand-up fighting with an emphasis on self-defense.
Soon after the trial, my wife and I decided to train full time in Hawaiian Kenpo which is the schools specialty and its secondary specialty jiu-jitsu. It has been one of the best things we have done for ourselves physically and mentally as the art and instructors help build you up beyond what we thought we were capable of. My somewhat timid wife who never had any fighting experience in real life or training is now confident enough in herself and her skills learned here that she is considering competing in jiu-jitsu competitions in the future!
I can't recommend Sensei/Owner George Nae and his staff enough for anyone that is interested in improving upon themselves!
