We recently moved to Thornton and I wanted to get my son involved in some type of sport. He’s four and always says he wants to be a ninja, so I signed him up at Scientific Martial Arts and Fitness. He’s in the little ninja class two days a …

I signed my son up at Scientific Martial Arts and Fitness 6 months ago and have had the best experience. My son loves to go and even tried to talk me into letting him go when he was sick. The instructors are such positive role models, not only teaching the kids the skills but the proper way to use them. I highly recommend Jordan and Scientific Martial Arts and Fitness.

Such a great gym family to be apart of! Jordan and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, patient and motivated. They make sure your kids feel safe, motivated and confident. They teach great core values they can use throughout life. I have never been to such a passionate gym before. Amazing place!

I've done kickboxing since I was 12 and it has changed my life in such a positive way. It's my second home where I feel comfortable and safe. I couldn't imagine doing anything else, as Martial Arts has done things for me that nothing else …

I absolutely love them...Jordan and Dayne are awesome instructors. All four of my children have been their students for close to two years and i have seen great improvement. My five year old is in the advanced class and loves every minute showing up the big kids! A great place to take your children or yourself if your looking for fitness!

I initially was looking for my 10 yr old son...then this old guy of 47 decided to join as well. The facility is great....clean, good equipment, good atmosphere. My son is having a great time with it and I like it too. The instructors pay attention to what is needed from conditioning drills, sparring and teaching self defense skills like punching, blocking and kicking as well as grappling techniques. They also join the adult classes to work out side by side which is cool. They might even let me pick the workout music! Great place to train!

I can not say enough great things about SMAF! We started taking my son here after he was in a different martial arts class, but he did not like the old one because he found it boring. Every time we take my son to SMAF , EVERY kid has a smile on their face. Its a great workout for him, it teaches him confidence and he is excited to be learning. I really like that they do not just hand out belts every 3-6 months, they actually are earned and everyone has fun in the process.The instructors are fun, patient and strict at the same time. They make sure everyone is having a good time, but it is certainly not goof-off hour. My son was very nervous the first couple weeks and the instructors made sure he was comfortable every class, but still encouraged him to get out of his comfort zone.My husband and I liked it so much that we recently started taking classes for adults and we are both having a great time also. They teach on all levels and really focus on technique, good body mechanics and a great workout. The whole family looks forward to our classes! Thanks for all you do guys!

My 9 year old joined SMF about a year ago, and it's a great school. GREAT atmosphere! And very clean and too. Not only do they teach the kids how to fight, they also teach moral values and explain the personal growth behind each lesson. The instructors are wonderful with the kids, and they have always been there to talk to my son if he ever needed guidance with anything. It makes me feel like I'm part of a family. I also decided to join just a week ago, and the adult classes are great too. And I love that they really pay attention to your personal growth in martial arts. This is not a place where they pass belts out like candy like I've seen in so many schools. You have to earn it with skill and hard work. For myself that is very important, especially when looking for a school to take you child. I highly recommend it.

Scientific martial arts is a wonderful place for kids. My son Colton was taking Karate before we moved here and I felt like he wasn't getting the attention or discipline that he needed. I was extremely impressed with SMA from our first …
