Of all of the extra circulars we have done from Swimming to Gymnastics to Dance to team sports, nothing can compare to the experience that my kids have had over only three months at Stonecoast. I personally did Karate and TaeKwonDo when I was younger but nothing compares to Stonecoast's method of training JiuJitsu. Also you as a parent will be shocked at how great this is for teaching actual self defense to disable a threatening person without hurting them. Coaches are great, the kids are great, value is great, the facility is great. Love this place.

Amazing place. We’ve seen such huge improvements in my stepson’s behavior since we started him at Stonecoast. The coaches are all amazing with the kids and we love that the older kids help out with the littles. We recommend Stonecoast to everyone.

This has been such a gift for my sons. I have seen such a shift in their level of positivity and their confidence. The coaches are both stern and inspiring and were quickly able to connect with my kiddos

Professor Durfee goes by coach for the kids, and his school is fantastic! It is starting to draw big crowds for many classes. Private lessons are easy to book as well. Finding a sport is really hard for many kids, but the emphasis on teamwork and taking care of training partners has been fantastic! Lots of family events and a strong sense of community for parents is a great bonus. Give this school a try
