Attended the women’s self defense class with my teen. It was great! Both of us learned a couple moves that, who knows, could save our lives- never know in this crazy world! Thank you BGr8!

Had a great time at BGR8! Staff are very knowledgeable and were great at instructing those of us who don't have much experience in self defense. Would definitely recommend!

I have never been to a self defense class before… this was amazing I feel way more confident in defending myself after an hour and a half than I did walking in. We had a great time and learned some skills!! Sign up!!!

This class was so helpful. Having never taken self defense classes and having been in situations in the past where I could have benefited from this info. Super helpful. I will return.

Zach taught a self defense class to our group of grandma’s, mom’s and daughters. Lots of laughter but ultimately he taught us basic defense moves that made sense and are easy to practice. What a great community service program. ❤️ Zach and his team.

Oh lordy! Master Z and Master T! These guys are incredible! They are not only skilled at karate, but the also specialize in working with students of all ages. I keep telling myself that I’m gonna get on that mat and show them all of the highly-skilled, secret techniques I learned from DragonFly Jones fourteen years ago (1.3 inch punch, 5 finger Kung-Fu death grip….the simple stuff), but I’m so busy. Besides, it’s not about me. It’s about the kids. Maybe one day. 🤜🏾🤛🏾

BGR8 Martial Arts has helped my kids in every area of life!!! I recommend this school to EVERYONE. I have watched my kids develop their confidence, leadership skills, focus, respect, and discipline. After sitting in on their classes, I loved the structure and holistic approach to this program so much that I decided to join the adult classes myself. I have gained SO MUCH from being a part of the BGR8MA family. I have gained confidence in myself & abilities, I have learned to overcome things that seem hard at first and conquer them with taking consistent action. I have learned so many self defense techniques, all while taking care of my body & mind and making them both stronger!

Incredible karate school. My girls love it. And they teach the kids more than just karate, they teach life lessons like self integrity and being brave and self control. Highly recommended!

BGr8 Martial Arts offers a top level learning experience for all ages. Children learn self discipline along with martial arts, and teens and adults learn martial arts and self defense, all while having a great time together. My girls earned their black belts after years of training, and every penny was worth seeing their confidence and skills grow every time they graduated! Zach and Jerry truly care about providing a quality program for everyone in the family. I highly recommend this school!!!

Loved it for 6 months, with both of my older kids. Husband lost job when Westinghouse closed the plant, and I was told I could get my money back, (that I had just paid the day before), for our second 6 months. Took months and months of calls, texts, emails, etc. Finally the owner stood up and started paying us back. (The plant closure also hurt their business.) However, we have never rec'd our last check from him and it's now been over a year.

Avoid this place at all costs. Owner is GREEDY!! There is no set curriculum. All the forms are made up. Extremely overpriced compared to the other martial arts schools in the area. What a waste of time.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN YOUR DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD NUMBER Owes us Money, this guy gets you to sign up for service and says the only way you can pay is put your debit card on file. After our contract was over this GUY that goes by the Name JERRY kept charging my credit card numerous times after I talked to him about and he still charged the card again the next day. He's charged my card the entire month of October and November. I've reached out to authorities about this guy because I don't believe he's a legitimate Karate Company. He tells you all kinds of lies about returning your money, he charged my card 10/4/2018, 10/18/2018, 10/25/18, 11/9/18, 11/17/2018, and then after I spoke with him about these charges on 11/22/2018 demanding my money he charged me the next day 11/23/2018. I have text messages and emails to prove this guy says he's going to reverse the funds. He once told me the billing company was closed for the entire week( THE SOUTHERN SPUR) I'm not sure why he uses this fictitious name as his billing company. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION YOU WILL REGRET IT. He's such a liar and thief.
