I started my son at Global shortly after he turned 4, in hopes that he would learn self-discipline and respect. It’s been 2 1/2 years and it has worked wonders. His coordination has greatly improved and his behavior both at home and school is night and day. If you want your child to be the best they can be, Global is a great start.

My son has been attending for 3 months now. The instructors there are so amazing with children of every age. It's a talent that not all instructors have. They all have it. It's worth the cost and worth the changes and confidence it builds in my son. Thank you!

I took 6wks kick boxing challenge here. That program was awesome. I lost around 10lbs. Currently, I takes adult martial art class. So far so good, I have improved my self-defense and kicking skills. Instructors are always kindness and answer any questions/concerns. Both my kids (6 and 10) in children and youth martial classes as well. They love it and enjoy. Instructors do not only teach them how to protect themselves and other s but also teach them how to be a good person. They loved to break boards every time in belt test :). Highly recommend.

My children learned alot from this martial arts. They learn different defenses skills and how to protect them self from different strikes. We have been here for 2 years and they love it. The goal that they set for them self is black belt and to keep going. My daughter helps with the little dragons and youth class.she loves to help other kids. I like that my kids love going and it helps with respect and teaching them to work with different belts.

I lost 28 pounds during the 6 week kick boxing challenge with the guidance of Joe and all the instructors. It was extremely difficult but I feel so much healthier. Thanks to everyone at Global Kick Fit! Edit, the workout was great. I was part of a program that if I paid $500 up front as incentive to lose 25 pounds in 6 weeks, attend at least 3 classes a week (i attended 4-6 per week) and leave a review, which I did. If I did all this, I would get the money back. I told them upfront that I was on vacation the last week, but I could do it in 5 weeks. I weighed out before I left for vacation and had lost 28 pounds. This was verified by an instructor. I was never given my money back. They tried to get me to sign up for further classes and apply it to that. I didn't want that, I wanted my money back that I still have not received.

I retract everything I said, it was a miscommunications and if you read what I said he is the opposite of what I said. He is exactly what I think exemplifies of a martial artist and because of his actions I am going to go out my way, every day and take time out to tell everyone this place is a true family and believes everything they teach. I want to say sorry for doubting it. He has a true Martial arts spirit.

So like I do every year, on January 1st I decided that I really needed to lose some weight. Well this time I actually stuck to it! I drastically changed my eating habits and when My beautiful wife Jackie showed me a Facebook ad for Global Kickfit I jumped on it. So as of today I am down 127 lbs! I feel better, I work better, I play better. I couldn't have made it this far without the support of my family and friends, but most importantly not without my wonderful wife. The coaches at global really helped get me on track with nutrition and exercise. Big thanks to Holly, Kerry, Amanda, Jessica and Shelby for whooping me into shape. I have a ways to go but I'm a hell of a lot closer to being where I want!
