Joining this school has been an excellent experience for both me and my family. The teachers and coaches are excellent with kids and I’ve been able to make great improvements in my own martial arts journey in a very short amount of time. The environment is super friendly, family oriented, with just the right amount of competitive spirit. Great for beginners as well as experienced martial artists.

Our son was very reluctant to take classes i. The beginning, and that is putting it mildly…. Within about 15 minutes of training on the first day, I saw him laughing with joy. He looks forward to every class. We are thrilled so far with this school.

I have been taking my son to the Tiny Sharks class for almost a year now and he has really enjoyed it. We had tried getting him into other sports previously, but nothing had grabbed his attention. After two classes we began going consistently three times a week and seeing his excitement to get to class has been wonderful. As the year has progressed there has been a clear difference in his confidence as he is now excited to demonstrate the skills he has learned, especially crazy horse! It has been a great bonding experience for both of us and I am very happy we decided to give the class a try!

My son has been attending the tiny sharks program for almost a year now and we have nothing but great things to say about 5150. He loves going because of how warm and caring the professors are. We’ve seen such growth in the time he has been attending and are so appreciative of the time and care everyone puts into to helping him, even at such a young age.

Excellent establishment! Self defense and jiu-jitsu training with a "same team" mentality. From feet to the floor, members are very helpful breaking down each lesson so learning jiu-jitsu is easy! Adult and junior students alike are very welcoming with a focus on long term learning and high level goals. 4 years later, we still feel at home with ur ever growing jiu-jitsu family.

I (and my son (7 years old) have been training at 5150 for more than a year. This is a truly amazing place and I highly recommend it to anyone. For years, I tried a number of places to continue learning MMA; however, it never worked until I found Professor O'Keeffe. He is caring, thoughtful, skillful, fun, and tough all at the same time, which is a rare combination. He has a contagious love for jiu-jitsu and the innate ability to teach. My son also loves going to train. He has learning valuable skills (on and off the mat), has gained confidence and has fun. Professor Shapiro not only teaches valuable skills but also makes the classes fun and engaging. All and all, my family feels very lucky we found 5150 and recommended it to everyone.

Having had a vague interest in jiujitsu for a long time, I showed up at 5150 after some long health challenges feeling weak and a bit scared. Five months later I cannot wait to show up for each and every class. I feel stronger, happier, and a part of a community of people that looks out for each other. My body and brain are stimulated. The professors of 5150 have gifted that to me, encouraging me at each turn, accepting where my abilities are and always knowing and expecting that I can exceed that. Jiujitsu is great fun, 5150 is full of great training partners, and showing up is one of the best decisions I’ve made.

All I can say is thank goodness I found this place when I did. (I'll try and keep it brief, but can go on forever) Through 5150 I found Jui Jitsu and it provided both a physical and mental workout that I've never experienced. There are plenty of places that offer Jui Jitsu but at 5150 you get respect, compassion, the right amount of drive. Professor Shapiro is unbelievable with this kids, she has an ability to break complex techniques down so a child can understand them- and she's just as good with Adults. Professor O'Keefe has a lovable way about him and an unmatched attention to detail. They are an excellent compliment to each other. They care about their students and want to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible inside the classes. If you're on the fence about Jiu Jitsu, 5150 is a great place to start!

One of the best decisions we've made as parents this year has been enrolling our two kids in martial arts at 5150. They both LOVE it, would go every single day of the week if they could, and we have seen their confidence levels soar. The staff at 5150 are so great at what they do. They know every single child's name and are so upbeat and encouraging. We also hosted their birthday party at 5150 (last night actually!) and it was such a fun (and easy) experience. The kids and their friends were 100% engaged and having so much fun the entire time.

I am a distance runner and a frisbee player, and now I am a kickboxer. I've been going to 5150 for 18 months so far, and will be going for the rest of my life. The cardio workout I get from kickboxing is more intense than running because it emphasizes those secondary, balancing muscles which help with explosive power and passing others on raceday. Not to mention feeling more confident about my ability to defend myself if necessary. It is an inclusive community of good people coming together to support each other through our daily lives. The instructors have passion and patience. Programs range from "kinder-kicks" to adult kickboxing and jiu-jitsu, and self-defense includes knife fighting, one and two-handed grabs and chokes, throws, and of course my FAVORITE...kali sticks. Come by and see what it's all about! -Mike

Have you ever been interested in trying something your scared of or intimidated by? I loved the idea of being Rocky in my mind, of knowing all the punches, the footwork, sweating the best sweat, and having the time fly as your burning calories..it sounded great but I was so worried about what others would think, say, how I would look that I kept letting those voices get in my way. Until one day, I took a class at 5150 with Sensei Irene. Little did I know what I would really get out of my time here thus far. It is a place where there is no judgement, we are all different shapes and sizes, it is a place where others truly have your best interest, and you have theirs, it is a place where you learn from the best, and you feel the passion and commitment from Sensei, it is a place where you feel strong, inside and out, it is a place where you let all your insecurities go and you have fun, and I mean fun! I love 5150 and all the people who are apart of this growing family. So if you ever wanted to be a "Rocky", come give it a try! I promise you won't regret it.

My first interaction with 5150 came at a high school track, where I saw students and parents running around the track working out together. As a parent that wanted to enroll my kids in a martial arts school, I immediately liked how involved the parents were with their children's training. Soon afterwards, not only have we enrolled the kids, but my wife and I are members of the school as well. Professor O'Keefe and Sensei Shapiro are great teachers, they have incredible patience with the kids and the are encouraging. But I also like how they are firm and demanding as well. While they're able to keep the kids motivated with encouragement and fun, they also don't allow fooling around to get out of hand. As a member of the adult class, I feel like I am constantly pushed to get better, and I leave each class looking forward to the next one, even as I am exhausted from the intense workout. My family and I are currently in the kickboxing and self defense classes, but look forward to starting Jiu Jitsu too. If you're looking for a fun, safe environment for you family to learn self defense and martial arts, 5150 is the place the be. The community here is great, and the higher ranking belts are really helpful to those of us that are just starting out. There is a sense of family and friendship here, and we're happy to be a part of it.

They have also been very patient and supportive throughout our Jiu-Jitsu journey as sometimes our outside schedules can get in the way of training. As a bonus, if you are a UFC or MMA fan such as myself, 5150 also provides you access to some of the greatest minds ever in the sport.

I have two daughters who are polar opposites. One is beyond hyper and confident, the other is shy and not as confident in herself. 5150 Martial Arts staff connected with each of my daughters, making them each feel special as individuals. They keep the girls laughing and serious all at once in class and bring out confident, self-disciplined girls. Additionally, as a parent sitting and watching, waiting till class is over you feel welcomed, respected and understood. There is no push to give more than you or your children want to give to the study of Martial Arts, simply guidance. The girls always leave with smiles on their faces and a sense of accomplishment in their heart. If you are looking for a place to bring your children to study Martial Arts I highly recommend you come to 5150 Martial Arts!

5150 really knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares about the individual student. As a knowledgeable and caring team, they use their expertise to personalize their programs when and where they can to each student’s needs. For example after numerous surgeries, I thought I was stuck in place feeling the way I did. But with their help and the fun we have in each class, I’m doing more than I thought possible and don’t I plan on looking back. Before participating in any class, they take the time to understand any health concerns and personal goals. Always encouraging, everyone here is very attentive to individual progress. The atmosphere is very supportive from the sensei to fellow students.

My son, who recently turned 9, has been studying karate at 5150 since he was 3. He began as a tiny thing, what they call a "kinderkick", and is now a first-degree junior black belt. 5150 gets my highest recommendation as a place where, in the context of learning martial arts, children can deeply increase their levels of focus, discipline, motor skills, self-confidence, respect for others, and a host of other extremely positive bi-products that can be applied to all aspects of life and learning. My son is an excellent student, athlete and musician, and to a good extent I attribute his successes in areas outside of karate to the skills he has developed from an early age at 5150. The teachers at the school are outstanding. They strike the perfect balance between no-nonsense mentors providing serious instruction with a nurturing, loving, family environment. In their work with children, they never forget that they are dealing with kids, and their use of humor goes a long way to keep little ones motivated. They are insightful in evaluating children based on their individual characteristics and they are willing to push them along with a firmer hand as appropriate. My son has cemented lasting friendships with other children attending 5150 and his love and respect for his teachers, teachers who have been their consistently over the course of six years, is really a joy to watch. If you're thinking of enrolling your child in a martial arts school, I recommend 5150 Martial Arts without reservation.

My 4 & 6 year olds love this program! The instructors are incredible! The environment is warm and loving. Each of the instructors have built a rapport with my kids that has helped them to blossom in all aspects of life! They have become more confident, more driven, stronger, more focused, and better behaved! The staff is wonderful to work with and extremely accommodating! We couldn't be happier! So glad we listened to our friend's referral!

I trained in a traditional martial arts dojo 15 years ago, and I have been searching for a similar experience since. The intensity and variety of the workouts at 5150 have provided me with that experience. I have been training for just over one year at 5150, and discovered a new joy: Brazilian jiu jitsu. I happened to start attending the BJJ classes just as the new program was being introduced to the dojo, and simply fell in love with the new skill set and intense challenges that BJJ presents. Additionally, the Muay Thai class on Fridays will make your heart thump. Are you up for a challenge? The mats await...

5150 Martial Arts is the place to be to train and exercise and at the same time earn a martial arts degree. I’m a working progress and I am proud to say that I’ve earned my 3rd degree black belt after many years. The dojo’s atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant because the instructors are friendly, accommodating, considerate, compassionate to all ages and levels of students. You will be amazed at the instructors as they share their experiences, knowledge, and expertise. Shihan O’Keefe – you’ve been my instructor from day one and will continue to be. I am privileged to be under your wings and I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity. Sensei Shapiro, Sensei Alvarez and Sensei Andrade – thank you for all your support! And to all the students of 5150, YOU ROCK!

5150 Martial Arts is a phenomenal martial arts school with amazing instructors. Each of my family members has been a student at one time. Currently my 6 year old son and I are students and we look forward to classes throughout the week. As an adult, I love the exercise, skills work, and teamwork that 5150 Martial Arts offers. This has quickly become a passion of mine and I look forward to the years ahead. For my children, 5150 Martial Arts offers a supportive and structured environment that positively impacts all of the other parts of their lives: school, relationships and self-esteem. 5150 offers a variety of workshops aside from their regularly scheduled programs and is always looking for new ways to engage their students. Shihan and all of the Senseis are unbelievable people and teachers and I would not go anywhere else.

After much consideration and research into a sport for one of my children that was not doing well in traditional team sports, we looked into karate. We asked friends and family for recommendations. Finally we were sent an initiation for a fundraiser - a month’s trial for $99, with all monies going back to our school. After coming out of the trial class, my kids almost cried when we told them we would think about it and they would have to wait until their trial was over to formally sign up. After only the first week, we felt that the staff treated our kids as if they had been there since birth. And that has never changed. They can also sense the moods of the kids coming into class and come out and have casual conversations with the parents. This is the first sport I have enrolled my children into where we feel so comfortable and involved. If there are any issues we can rest assured that their sensei(s) will help us through them. Almost one year later, three of our four are in karate, two on their way to black belt, with the youngest looking to get to the advanced class with his siblings as soon as he can! The 5150 family is a wonderful, close-knit family.

My child has been attending 5150 Martial Arts for almost 4 years. 5150 has been a lot more than learning how to kick, punch, and defend yourself... the instructors instill values that I support in my home--being respectful of yourself and others...being a positive person with an outstanding attitude... being responsible for yourself and not only sympathetic, but empathetic of others. My child leaves his sessions and you can tell that not only has he had a great physical workout, but his attention and level of focus is improved. A great perk for busy families: your kids can go to any session appropriate for their age and ability... so, one week if you are busy on Wednesday, your "usual day" for example--you can go any time that week when that class is offered so you don't miss your class! If you go on vacation for a week and your child normally goes twice a week... go 4 times the week you come back! no phone call or arrangement necessary. I would definitely recommend 5150 Martial Arts to anyone who wants to instill confidence, self-discipline, and the skill to protect & defend themselves. It's a positive place where you truly feel at home.

I walked into the school not really sure of what I was getting into. I thought I'd try it and see how it went, as my original goal was just to lose weight. It all started with my first jab. I never realized I would love it so much! I love the class setting, where everyone learns together but at their own level and ability. Before I knew it, I was there for 1 year, going to classes a few times a week and advancing in belt rank. I am far more confident and fit than before. I found a new family at 5150, where all instructors push you to be your best, and where all classmates encourage you to keep going. I'm eternally grateful to be a part of this wonderful school.

5150 has become a home away from home for my whole family; from my 3-year old on up, we've all found a place we want to keep coming back. Of course, the reason I started going over two years ago was for the workouts, and those are vigorous and varied. We never have the same class twice, which is a big plus for me; I become easily bored with repetitive workouts. They are always fun but challenging, mentally as well as physically. I keep going (along with my whole family) for many more reasons, but the biggest reason is the great people there, both instructors and fellow classmates. They are what make it a home away from home from us. After Hurricane Sandy, the first people we turned to were our 5150 classmates and teachers, as our own extended family lives very far away. And our 5150 family came together and helped one another. It's really an amazing place.

I've been a student for about 7 months, and couldn't be happier with this program. Classes have just the right amount of challenge and change daily, so they are never boring. Aside from the physical benefits, I've gained confidence and self esteem I was lacking, thanks to the patience and motivation of the dedicated instructors, who are completely committed to helping me develop both mind and body. And an added bonus is the comradeship and support of my classmates! It really is a wonderful, healthy atmosphere, and I wish I had found this sooner.

My son has attended 5150 Jujitsu for almost a year up until last Thursday. My son was sparring with a partner, who got so upset with my son that he spewed a racist epithet towards my 10 year black son. I’ve had no problem with this school until this happened. Other parents were witnesses to the mistreatment of my 10 year old son. Myself and husband thought that Professor O’Keefe and Professor Irene would make this right being that one of there mission statements on there website states the following message below 👇🏽 “OUR KIDS GRACIE JIU JITSU CLASSES BUILD STRENGTH, CHARACTER, AND MORE Here children enjoy a fun and energetic program that builds strength, flexibly, endurance and character. The Kids Gracie Jiu Jitsu Program gives kids the confidence, self-discipline and leadership skills to excel at school, at home and in sports. Your child will be surrounded by caring, friendly, patient, and helpful instructors dedicated to helping your child achieve their fitness, and academic goals. Not only does our program focus on fitness, safety and self-defense, but it also provides them with a sate, positive, and respectful environment to learn new techniques and challenges.” Above are their words stated on their website. My son was mistreated by the very people who in their mission statement stated that this was a safe, respectful and caring environment. My son is devastated. My family and the parents that support my family are devastated! About how the school owners hasn’t acknowledged how dangerous this situation is not only for my son, but to any future kids that look like my son, could be in. It’s quite clear they’ve never had to deal with a touchy racist situation like this until now. And as I stated earlier, they’ve had time to do what is right, but they have chosen not to do anything at all. The kid that called my son n$gger, yes, my 10 year old son was called a n$gger by another student, still has the privilege to attend their school with no sort of ramification. If you are black and it’s very sad to state this, please do not send your child to this Jujitsu school. If you care about how children are treated do not send your child to this school. Below are their mission statements stated on the schools website. Wish they would’ve treated my son and my family this way. And please, Professor O’Keefe and Irene, your nonchalant concern is not warranted with myself and family should you even make a response.
