  Amazing and clean facilities - the mat space is almost overkill ! The coaches are great, and Bjj practitioners come in different levels.

  Poorly organized, horrible communication. They are happy to send bills, but not to respond to emails. Won’t be sending my child back.

  Reviews - Yoseikan Budo Classes In short: Culture and martial art encourages practice and sparring in a collaborative and respectful atmosphere. Ideal for those with or without experience who want to improve competitively or casually. In full: Compared to my first experience and specifically when it comes to the course of Yoseikan Budo (bare hands and weapons), I wish to strongly compliment both the culture and the approach of the discipline. Context regarding my experience with combat disciplines so that you can judge the value of my opinion: 4 years of boxing (3 different gyms), 7 months of wrestling, 6 months of judo, 6 months of aikido, 2 months of JJB - All in different rooms and at very different periods of my life (I'm 24 years old). During my first session, a very welcoming feeling was felt. Despite the fact that the sensei/coach did not know my level or that of the other people who came to try the class, he did not pull us aside and tell us to do repetition exercises in a vacuum as I often had experience in the past. This type of practice was often very "humiliating" because we are isolated from the rest of the group often doing childish exercises and this is not very representative of the martial art itself, so we don't really know what we are learning. This is something I haven't experienced here and I'm delighted. In one phrase, I would describe the culture created by the sensei and strongly reproduced by other practitioners as "Improvement and effectiveness through practice and collaboration." A stronger opponent in sparring respects you. No member tried to knock me down, if he could, he attacked me and if he saw that I couldn't handle him, he gave me the opportunity to defend myself by slowing down or attack by returning to a neutral position. Everyone was willing to explain to me if I had any questions and were patient with my less developed abilities (I have never thrown a kick in my life). I had the opportunity to spar with the sensei himself and he let me work with a lot of respect without letting myself get carried away. And finally, I already mentioned it, but the support put on training fights really allows you to learn. I've been in gyms where they refused to let you face an opponent until several months had passed practicing in a vacuum or without resistance. It's useless in my opinion and only slows down someone's improvement. In 1 month, at the end of the trial period, I will come back and touch 2 words again, to see if any changes can be observed, for the moment, I feel a lot of goodwill and potential in this room.
