I go to the Cosens in Saginaw, and I love this place so much! I’m in the adult black belt program, and I leave every time feeling so good. The vibes in there are immaculate—everyone is so nice, and there’s honestly no judgment. The coaches respect all different backgrounds of martial arts, and they always have a positive attitude. I can’t recommend this place enough!
Posted 10 months agoI signed my grandson up about 3-4 weeks ago. Since he's been in these classes his focus has gotten better, he listens better (not that I had an issue with that before), but he's doing so much better overall. I can see him building the confidence in himself to do the things in life that he chooses to do. As for the staff at Cosens, they're great! They make class fun while learning. I would highly recommend them if this is something you're looking to do.
Posted 10 months agoThis is an amazing place. My Great Granddaughter, Freya Pastula, has been training under Coach Spy for 3 years and just earned her junior black belt. She has learned so much in addition to self protection, humility, dedication and respect; she will be continuing her training for the next level black belt. This is so important, given the state of our country during these trying times. Our children need to be able to defend themselves and know who to trust and not to trust. Coach Spy goes over all of the above with every class and, if one of his students is having a hard time they know they can go to him and he will work with them. He does NOT support bullying from, or to, any of his students!!
Posted 10 months agoMy Granddaughter Freya has been in this program for 3 years. She earned her Jr. Blackbelt in that time, and has chosen to continue on to get her solid Blackbelt. Coach Spy and Coach Garcia are the best coaches. They do not just hand out belts and awards, they must be earned. I respect that because it teaches accountability. Her confidence has soared, she's made good friends and she adores her coaches. She has really become very confident and sure of herself, and this class has been nothing but great for her. Im so excited to see what the next 3 years holds for her.
Posted 10 months agoThis martial arts program has been a wonderful experience for my two daughters. Coach Spy and Coach Garcia are outstanding instructors who create a supportive and motivating environment. They balance discipline with fun, which keeps the kids engaged while helping them grow in skill and confidence. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a positive and empowering activity for their children!!
Posted 10 months agoGreat place for all ages!
Going to Cosens has been, hands down, one of the best decisions I’ve made. Both of my coaches are so amazing and have wonderful attitudes towards each and every student. Since I have started taking classes here, I have found myself able to be more relaxed mentally and physically. It has helped me step away from my self destructive tendencies, and focus in on self improvement. It’s a wonderful workout for your body and mind, and it has personally helped me relieve stress and frustration in a positive manner. Self control, discipline, and awareness are just a few of the things I have been able to improve on since starting. If you have even the slightest interest in trying this out, give it a shot!
Great place to learn Mixed Martial Arts. Five stars!
A huge thanks to Coach Spyhalski and Coach Garcia who met with my niece Emma who has special needs for a very special one-on-one class. She was over the moon and is still talking about it! They were so excellent at providing direction, prompts and meeting her at her level. Thanks again for this special instruction.
Coaches Spyhalski, Gator, & Garcia are fabulous. My son started at age 11 in the older children’s class and transitioned to the teen/adult class. The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging. The children are taught positive values, martial arts skills, teamwork, & discipline. The teen/adult class is a welcoming environment. His classmates work together cohesively to learn. My son loves the environment and is gaining confidence. I highly recommend Cosens to children, teens, and adults.
My son has been attending for a year and he loves it! Coaches are amazing, helpful and great at teaching skills on and off the mat! 10/10 can’t recommend enough!!!
My son started attending Cosens MMA a year ago. I really had no idea what to expect but it was something he had wanted to do for years. The change in him has been drastic. He has learned so much thanks to the amazing staff there. Thanks Cosens for giving him the opportunity to grow in every way possible!!
Cosens does an amazing job of keeping all kids accountable and engaged! It enjoyable to see progress week over week!
Cosens Martial Arts is a very welcoming environment for both new and experienced martial artists. Kids clearly learn discipline, respect, self defense, and fitness skills while also having fun and making friends. I'm a member of the adult classes and the same principles apply. Both coaches of the adult class are approachable, respectful, and passionate about martial arts. They adapt to their students abilities, while pushing them to achieve their goals. If you are looking for a non intimidating environment to learn martial arts and improve your fitness in the Saginaw area, I highly recommend stepping into Cosen's doors.
Cosens has been a great experience. Not only in the exercise but the confidence building and technique education. I have been away from any Martial Arts training for over ten years, and I find that the coaches work with me to get back into it. Highly recommend whether you are just thinking about it or thinking about getting back to it.
Such an amazing atmosphere. My grandson absolutely loves taking classes here.
Our children have been attending Cosens classes for over three years, and the positive impact on them has been remarkable. The Cosens program is not only engaging but also deeply respectful, fostering an environment where discipline and focus are balanced perfectly with fun and enthusiasm. I have seen significant improvements in my children’s physical fitness, coordination, and overall confidence. They look forward to each session, which speaks volumes about the welcoming and motivating atmosphere you create. The life skills they are learning—such as perseverance, respect, and self-control—are invaluable. These lessons extend beyond the dojo and positively influence their behavior and attitude in school and at home. Thank you for your dedication and for creating such a supportive experience. Your program has been incredibly beneficial for our children, and I look forward to seeing their continued growth under your guidance.
The coaching staff in Saginaw has worked tirelessly with my kids to teach them some of the most important life skills and in the process give them the physical skills to protect themselves and others from those who may try and hurt them. We could not be more impressed or satisfied with our experience and our kids love and look forward to the time they spend with their friends at Karate every week. I highly recommend any parent looking for a positive and safe way for your kids to learn and socialize with others to check out Cosens Saginaw
OMG I can't believe I haven't done this sooner! Each year I like to challenge myself to learn something new. I definitely stepped outside of my comfort zone joining the MMA class. I was pleasantly surprised to see all ages and skill levels, that helped with feeling less self conscious as a newbie. And the coaches are A-MAZING!! They are very patient and encouraging and you can tell they really enjoy teaching. I had a chance to witness my first belt testing and it really was inspiring. They took the time to speak to each student letting them know where they excelled, where improvement was needed, but how awesome they were and to keep working, never giving up. After each class, as I learn something new, I walk away feeling so empowered...what a great feeling!! It's great exercise and an even better stress reliever. If you've ever thought of trying martial arts or have children that are interested, then Cosens Saginaw is definitely a great place!!
Yes I had my grandson enrolled at Cosens martial Arts because he was starting to get bullied on the school bus and at school although he is a big kid for age he just isn't aggressive if he needs to be for protecting his self plus I think a lot of if comes from the fact that he was also abused by his step mother but I am really pleased at how much he is coming along he really loves it there the instructor is very professional and good with the kids of all ages from what I see really great place to take jujitsu lessons!!!
Impression after 30 days. The program has helped with my son's self confidence, focus and coordination. The instructors keep it fun and fast moving. I was not sure how he would do at 5, but they have set up a program that teaches a life lesson in a fun and uplifting way plus all the kicks and punches. Bonus: the instructors make a point to know every kid's name and keep it positive and safe. We had a chance to take a free trial class they had on Facebook with no obligation and my son was hooked. I have been impressed with how good and genuine the staff have been since day one.
We appreciate how the coaches teach life lessons to our kids which has taught them how to deal with bullies and how to protect themselves.
Great place for problem solving skills mentors are just great
Both my son and husband attend classes with coach spyhalski and his other coaches. They both come home worn out making my nights easier to relax. They are both very strong from these workouts and have a driving will they didn't have before when we do things as a family. This is a great place for the entire family. I highly recommend it.
I have 3 boys enrolled at Cosens and they absoulutely love being there. They talk about what they've learned and my older 2 help the youngest learn his combinations. Highly recommend!
An excellent place for anyone with an interest in Mixed Martial Arts and fitness, or even if you're just looking to meet new people and develop new skills. The staff and coaches and excellent regardless of age or experience and I would highly recommend Cosens Martial Arts - Saginaw to get started on your New Year goals!
Great atmosphere and coaches are really positive. Classes are small to allow for one on one time. Great way to build a child's attitude and self respect. Really enjoy watching the kids have fun
Great place! They really explain things well and provide tips to give you the best overall experience. All the staff are incredible and very welcoming.
My son who is 9 has attended cosens in Saginaw for the past two and a half years. He has learned so much within this time. He is getting closer to his junior black belt every day. He looks up to coach Spy so much we are very grateful to him and the other coaches as well for what they do and have taught him. I highly recommend this place!
The consen martial arts in Saginaw is great, the community is very friendly and welcoming. I have only been going for a few months but I already love it! they really take the time to get to know you and teach you everything.
The Coaches here at the Cosens Martial Arts in Saginaw are amazing and take the time to teach you the techniques. I've been here for the last two years and I've learned so much and I'd recommend it to anyone!
This place is so awesome! We learn MMA! Kickboxing, muay thai, and Brazilian Jujutsu. We learn self defense and confidence. If you want to meet new people or start a new hobby go to Cosens Martial Arts in Saginaw!
Cosens Martial arts is an amazing place with even better coaches. They are super friendly and nice, just by being there you can see that they are passionate about teaching and making sure everyone learns and no one falls behind.
Cosens is a phenomenal place to train. I plan on taking my nieces and nephews here when they get a little older. The instructors are friendly, professional, and teach well. I been training at Cosens for over a year now and they always have new things to teach us. If you’re looking for a great place to train, then Cosens Martial Arts is the place to go.
I recommend this for kids and adults. Kids can learn discipline, respect, and confidence. Adults can get confidence, self defense and good old-fashion stress relief. The instructors are wonderful. They caring, understanding and they make it fun learning. I highly recommend.
This place is great. The coaches are friendly and helpful. The mood is very welcoming to everybody with zero to more experience. The clients are friendly. Everyone gets along and works together to learn and get fit. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning some mma.
It’s hard to find a gym that understands exercise is only part of the gym experience. One thing I could see from day one is how contagious their supportive, friendly environment is. Unlike most gyms, Cosens is able to get you excited to learn and exercise. New or experienced, if you are interested in practicing martial arts, I recommend Cosens Martial Arts!
Energetic, fun classes for adults taught by knowledgeable, approachable coaches who are willing to take time to break down techniques for beginners as well as get into nuance and advanced technique with advanced students. A good workout in a short time and a new set of physical skills to boot, highly recommend.
Cosens Martial Arts is a proven place. Our 6.year old granddaughter is taking classes for her junior black belt. The achievements she has accomplished, how to focus her mind and energy. She absolutely loves going to her karate lessons. Keep up the great work!
My daughter has been enrolled for about a month. She is always asking to go! The coaches are positive, energetic, and attentive. Always willing to focus on each student to ensure they have the right technique and reach their full strength!
My niece has been coming here for a month now and she loves it! The coaches are amazing [special shout out to coach P] with her and I can already tell a difference in her confidence!
I have been enrolled in Cosens MMA basic training program for a few months now, and it is the best decision I have ever made. The coaches are very polite, helpful, and encouraging for all students, and they do an amazing job at making learning martial arts feel fun and engaging. I highly recommend Cosens for anyone who is interested in martial arts.
Coaches are great they work with you if you have a busy schedule. Alot fun and great work out. Great for kids and adults.
We’ve been going here for almost 2 years now and love it. Always looking forward to the discipline and life lessons my child learns during class.
It has been a very positive experience. The little ninjas class has been a great help to my child with student teacher interactions and all around fun. I highly recommend enrolling your child to reinforce discipline and develop valuable learning experiences.
Just started but really enjoying the place. I love the focus on values and doing your best outside of class.
I recommend everyone, the young and young at heart, to give Cosens Saginaw a try! The coaches are positive, upbeat and fun. They make it a comfortable experience, even for introverts like me! As an out of shape young at heart woman, I have found that my confidence is growing , my fitness is improving and I am really enjoying learning and participating in every class!
love the new place, and the coach spy is awesome. my son just finished his black belt
Amazing instructors. Amazing atmosphere. Fellow classmates are welcoming. If you’re wondering if you’re going to learn something, you are going to learn. You’re going to build confidence. I can tell you it’s safe. Safety is huge for these instructors. Been at it for a bit and have enjoyed every moment. One of the best practices/disciplines I’ve ever been apart of. Go for it! You won’t regret a moment. If I could give more 5 stars I would!
Coaches seem to care about the kids. My child is only a white belt. But our experience so far has been very good.
Cosens has great coaches. They have helped my son with his confidence and building self-control. Cosens doesn't only teach mixed martial arts but also how to be a better person.
My son‘s behavior has noticeably gotten better since starting the tiny ninjas program. He knows how to focus on one task and will tell himself “focus” when he’s going off track. He started the program too shy to get on the mat and now it’s his favorite time of the week and he can’t wait to go. Coach is very patient and great with the kids and keeping their attention throughout class.
Cosens is a great place to learn Martial Arts. The coaching staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the art. Great place for children and Adults. Highly recommend!!!
Coaches are very helpful and polite. I couldn't ask for anything more. They have the time to help others such as myself in working forward helping me work on myself as a person.
We joined this last summer and my son has trouble with his adhd and o.d.d. He was having trouble at school on his focus. This place has given him the skills to stay focus on school and he loves his coach. He has improved so much in school and has gotten awards for his improvement in behavior.
What a excellent place, the Staff and Coaches are great with our son. They're training the students mental, physical and emotional skills, giving them knowledge they will utilize in their daily lives. Couldn't ask for a better place or Coaches.
Highly recommend! The staff does a wonderful job at teaching both martial arts and life skills at an age appropriate level!
Wonderful environment for children. Coaches build relationship with each child as well as parents. Many extra activities offered. Great way to build self confidence
The coaches are very skilled in working with kids and it shows. 10/10 would recommend!!!
The coaches at Cosens have done an exceptional job working with my daughter with Autism. They worked with her individually and have given her the additional attention she needs. Great group of coaches that run a great training class!
Great program and great coaches! Coach Spy is awesome with kids! My son has been going there for awhile now and this is the first thing he has shown interest in with a long term commitment.
Both on my children attend Cosens Martial Arts. My daughter is in the tiny ninja's class and my son in the adult MMA class. They both have grown exponentially over this past year of attendance. My daughter started this program when she had turned 3 yrs old prior to attending pre-school. It helped prepare her for school and she was able to excel. My son has not only become more physically fit but I have seen him grow in his confidence and maturity. The coaches here are amazing and work with each person to their ability. Highly recommend.
I Love this place! My son deals with really bad ADHD, and keeping him engaged can at times be difficult. Coach Spy does an awesome job with being patient and understanding. I enjoy watching my sons class. Not only has my son been learning how to defend himself, but also learning life skills, and keeping him accountable for his actions in life and at school. I’ve witnessed that for Coach Spy, safety is always a #1 goal. Coach Spy is always willing to listen and help in anyway he can for the families that attend his school. I’m so happy I brought my son here! I just hope one day they’ll be able to expand their location in Saginaw - due to their awesome facility, they are definitely growing!
We love Cosens Saginaw! My son has been a member here for over a year and looks forward to class every day. Coach Spyhalski and Coach Sanback are great with the kids and make learning fun. Thank you for all that you do!
Such a great place! I came in with background in just boxing and even after just a couple practices I’ve learned a lot and love the coaches and people!
My 3 year old son loves it here ! The two instructors are wonderful and interactive with the kids and make the moves easy to learn. Glad we chose here!
My daughter has been in Martial Arts for almost two years and she still loves it. The coaches and instructors have been great with her and she looks forward to going every time. I would definitely recommend Cosens :)
I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this place. I’d give ten stars if I could. It takes a community to raise a child. I am so happy to have Cosens martial arts in my community! My boys have not only learned how to defend themselves, but they have learned discipline, confidence, respect, self respect and to see them grow over the last handful of months has been amazing! Coach Spy and coach sanbeck are both wonderful with kids! They are involved in and outside of class. They actually care about “their” kids. I am so happy that we found this program and look forward to the time ahead.
My son age 6 love going to class. He has made some great friends and has been learning about respect, self discipline, and many other positive aspects to relate to the real world on how to defend himself if ever needed. When we first started Nov 2020, he was very timid and wasn't sure about himself, but coach Spy has helped him have more self confidence in himself. Coach is always willing to go that extra mile when needed. We appreciate all he does for our now junior purple belt working for that black belt. Only thing I would love to see is a bigger building for all these great kids to continue to learn in. It's hard in this building to be able to find a seat some times and only standing room where there's not much of that either.
All three of my children attend Cosens Martial Arts with Coach Spy and have for over a year now. Two out of three are in the Black Belt Program. We had previously been to Seung-ni Fit Club. We left because we did not feel it was the right fit for teaching our kids all-round life skills along side their mixed martial arts techniques. Upon coming to Cosens we now feel confident that this is a REAL martial arts program that not only teaches mixed martial arts techniques but ALSO life skills and accountability. These kids work HARD for their belts. They don't just take your money and move the kids up the ranks. They EXPECT each student to do his or her part. I have two boys and one girl in this program all 9 and under. This program has been a game changer for each of them. Best money I ever spent. They have grown in their maturity, responsibilities and truly finding a sense of who they are. Coach Spy does more than coach them, he mentors them. What happens outside of class is just as important and plays a significant role for their success in class. The kids have forms that their teachers have to fill out and sign to turn in and they must be meeting expectations at school in order to proceed to their next belt. They have monthly homework worksheets on accountability, honesty, and responsibility, driving home the importance of becoming a good human in all aspects of life. If you are looking for an extracurricular activity that will change the trajectory of your child's future and set them up for the best possible success, join Cosens Martial Arts. And I am here to tell you, not all Martial Arts schools are created equally. Be careful who you trust with your children. It's been well over a year and all my kids still LOVE going to karate class!
The kids make a great community. The coaches roll with the punches and really care about student growth in all forms
Great coach, great lessons, great experience. My child is really benefiting from the classes and learning a lot definitely a good choice. Also has adult classes
I can't say enough great things about Cosens MMA. I first saw an event on Facebook in September for a martial arts class focused on concentration. My daughter struggles with focus and had asked me to sign her up for some kind of martial arts so this seemed perfect. I was amazed at how life skills were presented along with the martial arts. This is exactly what we needed! I signed her up for basic training that day! She has done so well and excelled that for Christmas I upgraded her to the black belt training program and she has already tested and received her 2nd belt! Coach Spy is amazing with the kids and genuinely cares for each student and their success! If you are looking for a great place for you or your child to learn life skills, self-defense, martial arts, and fitness in a setting that feels like family, Cosens MMA is the place for you!
Top notch, fun instructor giving real world, quality information on how to defend yourself for both kids and adults.
We recommend this place to all. Give it a try! A year plus and all 3 kiddos continue grasping the life skills and improvements taught in every class. Coach 'Spy' shows his commitment to individual success with continued communication to our entire family.
Excellent for beginners, at very least. Coach knows how to interact with the kids.
I only took a small (free) introduction class, however the instructor was very informative and respectful. Answered all my questions and showed me a few things I didn't know.
Our son, 6, began martial arts at Cosens Saginaw several weeks ago. The transition to fully participating in the class has been a challenge, but Coach Spy has been incredibly positive and encouraging, and he has been open to creative solutions for our son to be a part of things as he works up to full participation with the whole group. Our son really likes Coach Spy. The kids have fun, learn life skills, how to control their bodies through martial arts, and much more. I would recommend Cosens for any parent who wants to build up their children in confidence and focus.
Awesome staff, Awesome facility, Great with children and adults!!!!! Coach Spy is extremely knowledgeable in his craft and very patient with all age groups! Five Stars!
My daughter is 5 and loves going to Martial Arts class at Cosens. Coach Spy is excellent with the children. The children are given lessons on subjects like respect and self-discipline during each session and are given individual attention when necessary without making them feel embarrassed or singled out. He really seems to find a way to connect with them in a fun and engaging way. Many of his lessons apply to home life outside of the classroom which help build good values and confidence. This class is not all about throwing punches, but about promoting being a good person living a healthy lifestyle, capable of defending yourself if you have to.
Not only is Coach Spyhalski a great, age-appropriate Martial Arts instructor, but the life-skill lessons are great. My daughter loves her classes! Highly recommend.
I absolutely love Coach Spy and so does my son! He works so well with the kids and keeps them motivated in to wanting to learn more skills! He also helps with keeping my son in line with his academics at school which I appreciate so much! Thank you Coach for being your best!!
GREAT place! My kids love the classes! Coach Spyhalski does an awesome job. I see a big difference in my two boy with their mind and focus.
Cosens is a great place for anyone looking to get involved with MMA. They have classes for all ages! My boyfriend and our son are both attending classes here and really enjoy it. I have seen my son’s self confidence, self discipline, and sense of achievement soar since he began going here, and he’s doing better in school!! The coaches at Cosens are great and genuinely concerned with all of their students on and off the mat. I highly recommend them!
Our son LOVES Coach Spy, he is fair and patient. The lessons taught are going to be a life long impact on our son and us. We recommend checking them out.
Cosens has been great at teaching our son patience, focus, and respect. He absolutely loves his time at the gym and with coach.
Great place, great instructor, great environment.. Just over all GREAT GREAT GREAT. My son loves it!!
Coach Spyhalski does a wonderful job. I always feel like I learned something new in his bjj classes.
Great instructors, welcoming atmosphere, small class size for lots of personal attention. My 5 year old son loves it!
Beware of this place if your child is on disability and your on a limited income. They will pull you in with the promise of being able to help you when your struggling to pay, after you tell them that your on a limited income. Just to find out it is only one month of assistance. And they charge you anyways, even if you pull your child out. My account was over drafted a month after my 3 months ended and when i reached out. I was told something entirely different then when i first enrolled. They said they would look into it and call me back. I have not heard from anyone and have also sent several emails. With no response. This company is greedy and thanks to them. Our first experience will also be our last. They proved to me that these programs only care about the money. Not the children they are teaching.
This place is a joke man, the person that started it was fake as hell. Everyone should know that by now, move on to better things, move to a better place.
