The trainers really care about you as a person and they want to make sure that you are getting the most out of their classes. They take our feedback, opinions and needs very serious, but they also push us hard and make sure that we get what we paid for while taking your current fitness level in to consideration. Also, what fun way to get an exercise. Proud and happy to be their student.

I trained with this company as a child in the 90s (when it was Flash), as a teenager, and as a young adult. I'm now in my 30s and wish I lived close enough to enroll my children, and for myself as an adult. Jordan runs THE BEST program you could ask for. Discipline, character, physical training, well planned out lessons, organized, and of course- incredible martial arts and kickboxing skills!!! His knowledge of the human body, how it moves naturally, where your power and leverage is, practicing with real life scenarios and how to respond... I could go on forever. He asks, "are you tired yet?!" Just wait until you train, you will be in the best shape of your life and have confidence walking down the street knowing how to defend yourself. Kids, adults, he has it all... I will always highly recommend!

Wow is what I said when I first walked in! This facility is beyond what I imagined compared to typical martial arts studios. I've been training here a a lil shy of a few years and instruction from Jordan, Dayne and team are thorough and detailed always with a method to the madness! I've seen the heart everyone here has put into every kid who comes in. You will NOT be disappointed bringing your child here. There's also adult classes full of great workouts and provides challenge for all levels of fitness!!

My name is Gabe, and I would highly recommend anyone to come and join this school. I enrolled my kids and ive seen a positive change in their life. Jordan, Chrystal and the instructions are respecful and they are patient in teaching the fundamentals in self defense. They also taken on the opportunity to help challenge me in my fitness goals as an addition. They definitely welcomed us into their gym family, and I know they will welcome you with open arms and a firm handshake! I love it... 💯😁💪👍🙌

Jordan and his team are amazing. I came here with no experience or idea on what martial arts was. He cares so much about you and your goals that he will work closely with you to teach you everything properly. I was also nervous about feeling intimidated but it's such a great and supportive environment. So happy I found this place. I am loving it!

My kids joined almost 1 year ago, and since it has become apart of our weekly routine. The kids look forward to going to class every week. It is great to see how much their confidence has grown since joining!A month ago I started their adult classes and it is a great workout and fun! Jordan and his crew really push you. Although I 'dread' going because running does not sound exciting (Haha) I actually really enjoy it and look forward to it every week!

The staff at SMAF are absolutely incredible. Jordan and all of the instructors are great with the kids -- they take the time to really learn about each individual child and how to work with them on their strengths and their weaknesses. They push kids to be their best without taking it to a level of "mean" that I've seen at other martial arts facilities. We have had our 7 year old at SMAF for a year now and plan on keeping him there as long as possible.

Had my first day today and absolutely loved it. I've done martial arts before in the past but never really felt as welcomed and part of a big family like I do here. Even though it's a group, you still get one on one to really help your skills to make sure you're doing them correctly. Definitely had a workout. I can not wait to continue this journey with the team atmosphere. Definitely recommend it!

Started taking classes here and so far it's been great. Jordan is very knowledgeable and helpful and always willing to have a conversation and answer any questions you might have. The staff and other instructors are also really nice and helpful. The best part is everyone has a good attitude here, there's no egotistical smugness and there's a big emphasis on safety. Recommend to anyone, no matter where you're at physically (God knows I'm out of shape and haven't really thrown a punch in my life.) if you want to learn a bunch of new skills and get a good workout doing it! You'll also meet a lot of good people!

Our family has been involved with Scientific Martial Arts and Fitness for over 4 years, and I truly believe that these classes are one of the most important gifts we can give our kids. Jordan and Dayne teach the kids and adults how to be strong and confident. The SMAF community is a wonderful group of kids and adults!
