Tried it and I love it. Very supportive atmosphere, skilled instructors, and the constant improvement I see in myself makes all the difference. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance both physical and mental well-being.

Our son, Sebastian, a.k.a "The Seargent" has been attending Elite Force LHP since about April this year. It has been one of the best decisions we have made for him. Shihan Craig, Shihan Melissa and the rest of the Elite Force staff do an amazing job with the kids.They teach more than just martial arts. They teach lessons for your child to go through life being confident, motivated, respectful, courteous, etc. All of the values that our parents instilled in us. The way things "should" be! The skills our son has learned in the Dojo have also carried over into his personal life and other sports as well.Since joining the team, Sebastian has been progressing quite well! His dedication and the positive reinforcement from the team at Elite Force is turning him into quite the young man. He is becoming mentally and physically stronger. Other children on his sports teams are starting to look to him as a team leader and role model.We as parents, find ourselves coming into classes with our son early just to watch some of the instruction given to the more advanced classes for kids and the adults alike. We highly recommend giving Elite Force LHP a try. You won't be disappointed!

Our son has been going here for about a month. He is 4 and has been loving it. Everyone is so great with the kids. I love that he is learning skills that can help him through life. We are so grateful for this dojo and each instructor who has helped guide our son. They are wonderful and truly committed to martial arts. Thank you!!

The owners named Haley have highly questionable business ethics in my opinion. Firstly Craig made a completely inaccurate agreement detailed the payment and term of the contract, and after a week when I decided to not continue anymore due to their own fault, he misrepresented by saying that they do not refunds and my annual payment of $4300 was not refundable. After pleading with him in person, he on the spot agreed to a partial refund but stopped replying to follow up messages. Only once I sent him an official email notifying that he his contract says a refund within 30 days policy, he was pressed to respond. Moreover, his contract notes there is a form on his website to fill out in case of cancellation, but there was none to my knowledge. Absolutely shady dude and place with ethics. Half the kids joining have bad/ill intentions and there is no initial screening as long as they have filled pockets. I would never go myself or send my children to such unethically run places.

Years ago, Shihan Hailey was my instructor for martial arts, and i had the time of my life doing it. Learned so much about discipline (in the best ways) and most of all i learned so much about respect, and my body, and how to use my knowledge martial arts to keep myself protected only when necessary. I am super excited tor my 5 year old to have started, and now he’s eligible for his yellow belt, and I am so excited and proud, and would not have taken him anywhere else to learn martial arts. I am glad he is being instructed by my instructor it truly is amazing, and they are great with the kids!! Especially Miss Emma & Miss Melissa as well, saturday is our favorite class. Just amazing, we love you all ❤️Sabrina, Zayden & the rest of the Federici Family. 🥰

You feel connected as soon as you walk in- everyone is treated like family. They take great care of their students and the community! It’s a great program for all! Our 5 year old soon has gained so much self- confidence and focus in such a short period of time.
