My son has been in this gym for 3 months, and has progressed tremendously. With that, I decided to join, and have loved the atmosphere and staff. It is friendly, clean, and an educational environment. I look forward to going each week and learning new skills the instructors have to offer.

I researched many schools in the area and was seeking an environment that would provide my 6 year old daughter with confidence and discipline, while allowing me to get into shape and learn valuable skills. I wanted knowledgeable instructors with a unique ability to teach both children and adults alike while instilling the same principles of a traditional martial arts studio. I didn’t think it would be possible to meet all of these criteria, but Scientific Martial Arts & Fitness (SMAF) really came through. With a state of the art facility and extremely knowledgeable instructors, this school has surpassed anything that I have seen in the area. My daughter is gaining confidence and really enjoys the discipline of attending this martial arts school. The school is well equipped and can accommodate my daughter while I am working out. I now have a big part of my life back and after only 6 weeks I am feeling great, and my daughter really enjoys it! The instructors are able to maintain a positive structure for the students while teaching them valuable skills, and have catered each class for the given audience in a family friendly environment. The most important element, which I don’t think should be overlooked, is the culture they have created. Their positive nature and attitude is truly reflected in all of their students. Everyone is very helpful and encouraging. I would highly recommend you check out SMAF if you are looking for a long term school for you and/or your children.

Scientific Martial Arts and Fitness is the best martial arts studio around. I've been training here for many years, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The instructors really know what they're talking about. The atmosphere of the classes is really great too. I looked around at many martial arts schools before I chose to start training at Scientific, and I always felt like something was a little off at the other places. At Scientific, the instructor to student ratio is great. You are always getting the attention you need. It's a safe place to train where you learn great skills quickly. Great friendships are formed here, and so are healthy and useful habits. I recommend this place to all of my friends. If you're looking to learn how to really fight, shed some extra body fat, and have an enjoyable time with excellent people, this is the place for you!

As a female it was important to me to find a gym where I felt comfortable and safe. I wanted a gym that's serious about fitness and didn't feel like a meat market. I found that at Scientific Martial Arts and Fitness and so much more. I get an amazing workout, learn self defense and have gained confidence in myself. I have more energy and I love shopping for clothes now! I am a busy, working, mom of two young girls and SMAF has become the balance I needed to feel good while doing something for myself. I highly recommend joining, you meet great people and the instructors are very informative and dedicated to health and fitness.

My 5-year-old son began 7 mo ago and loves it. He is a tall boy for his age, has some challenges keeping his focus, and needs to develop confidence. He has made great improvements working with Jordan and loves to go to class. He is focused more, has learned to deal with disappointment appropriately, he is learning to deal with challenges and to persist on difficult tasks, and he is learning the importance of confidence and focus. He gets incredible exercise in class and learns good old fashion values in the lessons in class. I really like Jordan's philosophy about fitness, self-defense, self-control, and perseverance. Jordan is also good about listening to parents and working with them on the goals they have for their child. He recognizes when to change things up for them or help them over a hurdle. I began the adult class about a month after my son started. My physical stamina is building and I enjoy the classes immensely. The instructors meet you where you are in your fitness and skill level without ever making you feel inferior. If you want a killer work out and to learn REAL martial arts, not some canned memory program, for you or your child, this is the place!

Jordan's new academy is beautiful!All of the instructors are knowledgable and wonderful with my 9 year old girl.She is learning life long lessons in fitness and self defense and has fun doing it.Jordan keeps the adult workouts basic but different enough that I look forward to each class.I especially like the fact that I can choose contact or no contact classes to attend.
