I come here for fitness and the kickboxing classes are some of the best workouts I have ever had. I have also tried some of their self defense classes which I have found challenging but fun and have received great customer service during my roughly 2 years of attending classes here.

My family has been coming to this school for over a year now. The staff does a wonderful job of balancing the difficult aspects of child education; discipline, fun, self-respect, and humility. My children are flourishing. The curriculum changes almost every three months and the goals are high but reachable. There are adult fitness classes and self-defense courses as well. The most important thing to remember about any school or skill you learn is: you get out what you put in.

After struggling for years to get my 14 old to be interested in a sport or activity, she FINALLY expressed interest in taking self defense classes after watching a documentary about young women being assaulted."Great" I thought!! We have a martial arts gym right around the corner! We went inside Lee's for info today and the woman at the desk seemed irritated that I didn't know the difference between Taekwondo and Krav Maga (still don't!). Just gave us a flyer... No offer to explain pricing, how their program works, or show us around gym. Thanks for making us feel so unwelcomed, just unfortunate it happened in our own neighborhood.

Disgraceful. Lee's ATA evidently does not understand the word "honor". On the first and only day we attended, the instructor Arlyn Benson directed abusive language at my 3 year old boy. When confronted in front of room full of witnesses he denied threatening to punch my boy in the face. The manager profusely acknowledged the impropriety of Mr Benson and promised the owners would contact me that day to discuss the situation. They did not call. I returned four days later to ask for an explanation. Again they promised I would be called by a specific time. They did not call. Indecent. I hope they're ashamed.
