Amazing place. My kid absolutely loves it. Teachers are very experienced and very very good with kids! My daughter doesn’t want to miss a single class.

Arashi Do has truly become a second home for our family. We currently have four children participating in both Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional since 2021. The instructors and office staff go above and beyond, taking the genuine time to get to know each of our kids personally. It’s clear they aren’t just teaching techniques; they are invested in every student's individual growth and confidence. Our kids absolutely love the atmosphere and look forward to every session. From a logistics standpoint, they are incredibly accommodating to families with multiple children. While the schedule is consistent and reliable, the gym is remarkably flexible if we miss a class, making it easy to balance a busy household. If you are looking for a martial arts gym that prioritizes both high-level instruction and a supportive, comfortable environment, I cannot recommend Arashi Do enough. It’s a place where our kids feel safe, challenged, and completely at home.

Amazing trainer! She’s worked with both me and my kids and has been fantastic. Super knowledgeable, great with kids, and creates such a positive, empowering environment—especially for women. We’ve all gained confidence and skills thanks to her. Highly recommend!

Our daughter is in the Arashi Do Muay Thai program. The instructors are fantastic and have the right balance of fun, discipline and expectations for their students. We’ve seen our kid grow to become more confident and skilled athlete. She truly loves going to class.

Outstanding Karate Experience for My Twins! My twins have been training at Arashi-Do for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had. From day one, this place has felt like a second home to us. Sensei Mike and Sensei Jason are both truly exceptional—not just in their skill and knowledge, but in how they connect with and guide the twins. They are patient, encouraging, and genuinely care about each student’s progress both on and off the mats. The training is top-quality, with a great balance of discipline, fun, and skill-building. My twins have grown tremendously in confidence, focus, and physical fitness. They've also had the chance to compete in tournaments, which has been a wonderful way for them to challenge themselves and grow even more. What really stands out to me is the sense of community. Arashi-Do isn't just a dojo—it’s a family. The environment is supportive and welcoming, Safety is taken very seriously and the instructors go above and beyond to make sure every child is seen, heard, and valued. The contract terms are also incredibly fair and flexible, with pricing that’s very reasonable for the quality of instruction we’re receiving. As a parent, that peace of mind is invaluable. I highly recommend Arashi-Do to any parent looking for a place where their children can thrive. We’re so grateful to be part of this amazing martial arts family!

My boys have been part of this dojo since 2021, and they absolutely love it! The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and truly dedicated to teaching kids not just martial arts, but also discipline, confidence, and respect. Renshi Aidan and Sensei Thai are fantastic with the karate program—engaging, encouraging, and great role models for the kids. My boys also trained in jiu-jitsu here for 3 years, and Professor J.P. is amazing. His passion and expertise really shine through, and he makes the classes both fun and challenging. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our kids to grow, both in martial arts and in life skills. Highly recommend this dojo to any family looking for a positive, supportive environment!

Some random thought

I did muay Thai here for 2 years every Tuesday and Thursday and had a amazing time every class. made a bunch of friends I've had of almost a decade. Singing up was a pain but that's it. This place is very nostalgic and I would recommend strongly. Chris was the best!

Arashi Do has been part of our lives since 2015 when my older daughter started Karate. We had a small pause and then came back where both my daughters and myself joined Karate classes and Muay Thai classes. All the instructors have something unique to offer and they make sure to dedicate effort and time to their students. Thank you to the instructors and staff who create a safe and fun space for all of us to enjoy!!

This is a good place to practice karate, but I do wish that they would cover the pillar in the middle with some padding. I often see children running and sometimes they come pretty close to smashing their heads or faces into it. I'm worried that someone could get injured by it.

Tried it out. My kids have been in jujitsu for 5 years. Been to a few places.I wouldn't recommend this place. The coaches are unwelcoming. Sets the tone for the whole gym. When you walk in you feel incredibly unwelcome. The whole class we felt like we should not be there. Maybe its great if you have been going a long time. I had a bad vibe the second I stepped in the door and it stayed the whole time. We won't be back.
