Our son has been taking classes at Total Impact for two years now and thoroughly enjoys being a part of their community. Here is what he has to say about practicing at Total Impact :“Shihan Brian teaches me to be respectful. He shows me the importance of good listening skills. He also teaches me really cool karate moves and self defense moves! I love going to karate each week and practicing what I learn at home. Total Impact is the BEST!”
We looked around at a few different places for our 8 year old daughter to begin her martial arts activities. We found that Total Impact was the perfect fit for what she needed and what we wanted. The instructors do a fantastic job of nurturing her growth and development. They are such great motivators and we appreciate how they encourage her to continue to learn and grow her skills. She’s loving going to class and practicing each and every day that she visits. If you’re looking for great instructors and a quality spot for you or your kids, we would encourage you to give Total Impact a try and you won’t regret it!
Our son has been attending Total Impact for a while now and we are very happy with choice we made to sign him up. His confidence and skills both inside and outside of class have grown tremendously. The instructors are all great, which makes class more enjoyable and he loves going to karate every week!
Due to money concerns, I could only budget training for a month this time around. They offered a plan for two lessons a week at a reasonable price. Total Impact wasnt just a cost effective choice compared to some other places I looked into, it ended up being one of the best investments Ive made in a while.Brian and the others on staff are great to work with. Theyll offer encouragement, kindly offer criticism when applicable; and most importantly, youll be sure to learn something if you show up. In the one month, I got to learn some basics of a variety of disciplines. All of which have given me a lot to practice and think about. I plan on going back someday.
This is a great place for both children and adults. Our kids have been students for many years and this place is like second family. The staff really likes to see each and every student succeed and understands that all kids are not created equal. Kids come out with smiles on their faces after every class.
Total Impact is a friendly, professional, family owned place. Our daughter loves the training and found it easy to quickly make new friends. The location looks smaller than it really is. Youll also find theyre well equipped and ready to teach self defense to all ages.
My son has been attending for over 2 years now (since he was almost 5 years old) and loves it. The instructors are great and really care about the students. They are professional and motivational. Not only do they teach about physical karate skills but also enforce concepts such as being focused and showing respect. They have also done a phenomenal job adjusting their program due to COVID.
My son has been at Total Impact for the last four years. It’s a great program! All of the teachers are awesome and very positive! They are motivating and are always professional, and provide personal attention and guidance to each student. My son loves training at Total Impact! They also have a lot of fun events that the kids love! I’d like to thank Brian and the staff at Total Impact for all their efforts and care to make this martial arts school a very special place!
The martial arts training is incredibly thorough and well done at Total Impact. But that isn’t what sets Total Impact apart. Brian and his staff are so welcoming and kind. They make sure that each student feels comfortable and have helped my children gain confidence, flexibility and discipline. They have a belt system like every martial arts school, but the focus at Total Impact isn’t on belts, it is on what it takes to achieve progress. They focus on the journey, not the destination. If you are looking for a martial arts school where your child will thrive, don’t look past Total Impact.
I have 2 sons been at total impact for 5 months now, and They love it!Sensei Brian is great and very respectful.I love this place and I cant wait for my youngest son to be ready for total impact.
My Son LOVES the days of Karate/Martial Arts. The owner, Brian is AMAZING!!! We go 3 days a week and if it were up to my Son, he’d want to go everyday! We’ve been looking for a Martial Arts/Karate Class for my son. We recently moved into the neighborhood, and just a couple blocks down the road my Husband and I found this place. I registered online, and the same exact day, the owner himself calls me..and we converse, NO small talk, NO, he made sure to ask me about my son, and how he is, and then made me feel more comfortable when he spoke about how he understands how a child with ADHD works, that just made me feel 110% better about joining this awesome team!!! Yes- they’re a TEAM!! I’m so happy we found IMPACT MARTIAL ARTS😀😀😀
My wife and I joined Total Impact three years ago looking to improve our workout. We took an intro class and really liked it. The owner Brian is very dedicated to his clients. His staff works hard to support each client in their workout experience. It has been three years of membership for us, and we continue to enjoy it.If you are looking for an amazing workout with an experienced instructor, join Total Impact. You will be happy you did.
My son loves total impact! He has learned so much and has gained a lot of confidence. Total impact is a family owned business and the owners are professional and very knowledable! I am so glad we took the leap and signed up for karate classes here!
My son loves this DOJO!!! He has been obsessed with karate ever since he started! They are great with kids and the kids love the instructors! If hesitating dont! Sign up now!! We recently started and already we went to 2 days a week! My son would do this every day if he could!
I go here for fitness kickboxing and it is great! The owners are very nice and flexible if you need to make up days or have other issues come up.
My kids have been training with Master Brian for 2 years and they enjoy training with Master Brian and his instructors. The instructors walk a fine line between making class fun and holding the children accountable for their actions. Brian communicated consistently with parents throughout the pandemic and he has taken every precaution necessary to ensure a safe environment. Brians childrens classes help students develop confidence, focus, and endurance and we look forward to many more years of training at Total Impact.
My eight year old twins have been enrolled since the spring of this year and are very excited to attend twice a week. Sensei Brian along with his instructors are very attentive, energetic and have a wealth of knowledge in martial arts. Discipline, respect and hard work are implemented in each class. Highly recommend Total Impact for any age!
Both our son and daughter have been attending Total Impact Martial Arts & Fitness for more than four years and thoroughly enjoy it! Shihan Brian as well as all the other instructors are great with the kids and are such positive role models. We are so happy to see how our children have progressed over the years. Total Impact Martial Arts has been a significant part of our lives especially during the pandemic. And Shihan Brian understands families are busy and sometimes have conflicts so his flexible scheduling really helps families fit it all in. We cant thank Brian and his team enough for all that they do!
My twins go for martial arts at Total Impact. The instructors are amazing with the children. They are very attentive, and encouraging. My kids love going to class.
My kid loves this class. Brian and team does wonderful job.... I will definitely recommend this school.
Our daughter has been working with Brian and his staff for over a year. We love watching her grow in both physical ability and confidence. One of the first things I noticed about Total Impact was the impeccable cleanliness of the facility, and that was before COVID. Since then, their standards have somehow improved! Brian has gone above and beyond to maintain the safety of everyone involved and has been constantly looking for new ways to reach and teach his students. Our daughter says that shell quit one day, but only after I have at least a purple belt. Maybe a black. Im only 6, so Im not sure yet. Thank you, Brian and everyone else at Total Impact. I think well be with you for a long time!
We have had an amazing experience with Total Impact for our eight year olds. The staff is incredible, responsive, and have made our kids want to come each week. Their skill set has grown and so has their positive attitude.
Total Impact Martial Arts & Fitness has been wonderful for my 9-year-old son. Brian and other instructors are amazing with kids and quickly learn the individual needs and strengths of the students. In the past year that my son has been a student there, I have seen great improvements in his self-confidence as well as physical development.I highly recommend Total Impact to everyone!
My son loves the classes that Total Impact Marital Arts offers. We have been going for over two years now and we really like the dedication of the staff to teach each child not only respect and self-defense, but also how to stay active and be healthy. Highly recommended!
My kids have been doing the little ninjas class for the last 2 months. They LOVE it. One of my kids is pretty timid and can struggle to separate from me. Shihan Brian made him feel so welcome and involved that he started participating on the very first day. Since the first class, he has consistently been excited to go, never wants to miss a class, and runs right in as soon as we get there. The kids have a great time and dont even realize they are practicing focus, balance, and exercise. The staff is so fun and professional, and the dojo is clean and feels safe. This is the best early childhood class we have ever been involved in and we are so glad to be part of the Total Impact team.
Been going for so many months. Total Impact provides a clean, safe, and professional environment for all to train! Total Impact, MMA is the most welcoming world-class gym I have ever been to. The trainers (Especially Brian/Brandon (his son)) are pioneers of the sport and they constantly update their knowledge. A great team of individuals working together as a team to achieve our goals ranging from better health to competing professionally.
Where do I start? Total Impact has been life changing. It has helped our son in SO many ways and we are so thankful to be a part of this ‘family’. Shihan Brian and his entire team provide a safe, encouraging and welcoming environment every single day. I wish we signed up sooner. We are so thankful for Total Impact!
Our 6 year old son has joined Total Impact 2 years back. He has been enthusiastic to go to his Dojo and shared what new things he has learned every week. Sensei Brian and his team is so friendly and kind to the kids. During Covid, Total Impact moved to virtual classes seamlessly with full flexibility and support to the students. Transition back to in-person thoughtfully with clear communications to the parents.Total Impact not only teaches our son martial arts but also the soft skills; respect, discipline and compassion which are key elements for happiness. We really enjoy seeing our son being impacted positively by Total Impact.
My Kid is with Total Impact from last 2 years and she had amazing training of mixed martial arts here . The faculty Sensai Brian , Senai Allen Sensai Brandon ,Sensai Jon and Sensai Kirk are very proficient and will focus on each student Individually . More then everything they teach discipline and morals for kids to shape them as better individuals in society . I was so impressed that I re joined my kid after pandemic there without a second thought .
Great facility with conscientiousness especially during covid. Impressed with safety not just physical safety but also in response to the covid pandemic. Great for kids teaching them confidence and respect. My kid always has a great workout with the sessions.
My son Dylan has been attending Total Impact Martial Arts for almost 2 years and I have nothing but praise for Shihan Brian and all the Senseis. My son gained strength, awareness, and discipline through his karate training. You wont find a better dojo!
Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. My son absolutely loves it here. They are wonderful with children and teach them so much while also making it fun!! Highly recommended!
I honestly cannot say enough about the wonderful experience weve had with Brian Baim and the whole team at Total Impact. My daughter and her best friend have been studying there for almost 4 years, and not only have they learned SO much, theyve had an absolute ball. Brian knows how to teach and require discipline while making sure they kids have fun. He knows all these kids personally; its really a family feeling. Highly recommend!
My son has been attending martial arts class and he said he really liked how they teach and explain techniques.
Incredible instructors and super friendly! The best martial arts program around, Highly recommended!
We have been the part of Total impact family from last 2 years .My son has learnt lot from his senses.Not only about the martial arts ,karate and fitness but also about how you can esteem to become a wonderful person .We love when they explain the things in a very friendly way to kids .definitely recommended .👍
Our 4 year old just started here and it has been a wonderful experience! Everyone has been so kind and encouraging. Shihan Brian is always happy to answer our questions and is amazing with the kids. We also appreciate the safety precautions in place to protect everyone from Covid and look forward to our child’s future at this dojo!
Great place . i have been sending my 2 kids for last 3 years
Fantastic gym for kickboxing. The owner and the other trainers really care about form and technique. I get a great workout and I am very happy I found this martial arts gym.
My kids really enjoy their classes here and look forward to it!
I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to learn self defense. The instructions love what they do and you can tell. The owner is always out on the floor teaching. They are very patient with the kids and will reteach the moves to ensure everyone is doing it correctly. The adult program is also great, they teach you practical things. Both my daughter and myself are taking classes here and love it.
My son tried a class with his buddy and could not stop talking about his experience with total impact martial arts. The teachers were so knowledgeable, patient and engaging! They worked with him one on one and my son never felt singled out or embarrassed. It was apparent that my son would learn so much through these instructors that I had to sign him up! After talking more with Brian, who is one of the kindest people, I knew my son would learn so much more than martial arts. I cant wait to see how this will help with his focus in school and confidence. Give it a try, you wont regret it!
My son attends attends Total Impact MA and after watching the teaching and instruction of Sesei Brian and his instructors, I’m pretty impressed with the quality of instruction.
I am writing this review after taking class for almost 2 weeks.I loved the class. The instructors put their full efforts in making the class fun, & exciting. It is unlike other classes where just they aim to complete 1 hr & give you some basic stuffs to do.Total Impact instructor keep on check technique they change the combinations, workout style everyday. U should definitely join the class. Highly recommended.
Total impact is just awesome! The instructors are very friendly and understanding. They really work with you at any fitness level and cheer you on the entire time. Master Brian has a great way with the childrens classes. Parents say they notice great improvements in behavior at home. The cardio kickboxing class is great! Learn real kickboxing at your own pace without getting punched in the face. Their self defense class is legit, and no meat heads allowed 🤗.
I’ve been training with Shihan Brian since I was 4 years old, and could not see myself training anywhere else. Classes are kept very professional and maintain the key concepts of traditional martial arts while blending in fun teaching techniques and methods. Children will be able to learn discipline and focus while building up a new found sense of respect for themselves and others. Classes are very individually built with the goal of allowing each student to excel at their own pace. Total Impact is a place that has truly changed my life for the better and looks to do the same for all that enter.
My kids love it here! Just 3 classes in and they already learning so much. At the end of class they are already asking when we are coming back! Great, knowledgable staff who are great at working with groups of kids. Anyone who thinking about trying it out should definitely try it out! I will be joining the adult classes soon!!!
Z just loves the classes! He is focused and works so hard! The instructors are serious about training the kids to the best of their ability. Highly recommend!
This place is awesome! The entire staff is well trained and great with kids. They take time with each student as needed and make everyone feel comfortable and part of the group, while instilling focus and responsibility. Signing up for classes is easy and painless. Highly recommended!
I joined the adult kickboxing and mma class at Total Impact. I love coming here. All the teachers are so great and Im learning so much! I really cant express how good these teachers are. They are motivating, patient, and have so much knowledge . Its a great place and Im very happy I joined! You wont be disappointed!
My young sons had gone through four dojos before we came over to Total Impact, and I REALLY wish wed have come here sooner! I always used to have to drag my kids to martial arts at the former dojos, but ever since we started here, both of them love coming to class every week. Brian (the owner) and all the rest of his team have an excellent approach with their students. They have a sense of humor and incorporate plenty of fun into learning, but the students have so much respect for them that they immediately come to attention when asked to. Its obvious that every instructor is completely invested in teaching these kids. I know my kids are learning so much more than just the physical aspects of martial arts. I highly recommend Total Impact to everyone I know!
I love the adult kickboxing class! I am completely new to kickboxing and was nervous to start but everyone here made me feel completely comfortable! It’s not only a great workout but a lot of fun! If you are thinking about kickboxing this is the place to go!
Brian is an awesome instructor! Ive taken kickboxing classes with him off and on for years. Always an awesome workout! And, he really cares about his students! Hes terrific with kids, too. If youre looking to get fit and learn self-defense techniques at the same time, take a class! And if you are seeking to enroll your child in a program that promotes fitness, self control, and respect, martial arts is perfect! Check this place out. You wont regret it!
We were in the need of a new school and we were referred to Total Impact. When we met the staff, we were immediately welcomed and felt like part of the family. The staff is amazing and we love to see how they easily motivate our boys (ages 9 and 7) to work harder and push themselves more than they ever had. Our kids love the school and the instructors. Couldnt ask for a better group!
My wife and l joined the fitness kickboxing class together and we really enjoy it! Also great place and atmosphere! Brian has a good group of Instructors, that really make it enjoyable and fun, while working up a sweat! I would highly recommend Total Impact Martial Arts & Fitness for anyone!!
I have been a student at Total Impact for little over a month and Im so very happy that I found a place that has a great kickboxing program.Sensei Brian is dedicated to making his classes fun yet challenging! He and his staff are friendly, encouraging and welcoming! He has years of experience and knows how to be supportive and motivating to his students. He pays attention to everyone in the class to make sure that we are all getting a great workout without risk of injury. Its truly a blast going into Total Impact! Thank you Brian!
Love the experience my kids are getting in Martial Arts at Total Impact. My sons are in the Little Ninjas classes and have learned a lot more than just the moves. The emphasis on focus and doing things properly has been easy for me to carryover to behaviors at home too. The instructors are wonderful at commanding respect and making the class fun. Super approachable for parent discussions too.
Great place for kids! They get to work up a sweat and learn about discipline at the same time. The staff is very friendly, great with kids and really cares about teaching good technique.
Every class is an amazing workout! My Son loves his Karate classes and my husband and I love kickboxing! This dojo is like a second home for us!
The instructors are great! Whether youre new or have years of experience, youll get a good workout in the fitness class. They keep a close eye to make sure everyone is pushing themselves to do the best they can.
It was a true pleasure to work with Brian Baim, owner of Total Impact Martial Arts & Fitness, to implement a Little Ninjas program at our school. His excellent communication and flexibility to adjust his program to the needs of our after school curriculum made for an easy partnership. And as a parent of one of the students enrolled in his class, I was impressed with his patience and ability to blend structure and games for even our youngest 4 year-old Ninjas to have fun while gaining confidence and learning about respect!
I’ve been active here for a few months now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I’m gradually losing weight, gaining stamina and it’s great stress relief to punch and kick things! This place is fun, friendly, helpful and clean. Brian is an excellent instructor- very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend.
Excellent work out and instructor! Come check out a class and you wont be disappointed! I have trained at a few different facilities and this is my favorite one. Brian challenges you and mixes the workouts to keep you interested. I have become a lot stronger and my endurance has increased tremendously. Come check out a class and you wont be disappointed!
Shihan Brian and his staff have created a positive, energetic and fun environment for young people learning the Martial Arts. They consistently discuss and demonstrate core values such as honesty and teamwork and the kids love the physical activity.
Brian, the owner of Total Impact started training me when I was four years old, he is always positive and motivating in any circumstance. The classes feel very personal where its not one person leading a group of 50 people, Brian takes time to work with each person and works with their level of fitness. Brian is an expert at what he does and you wont find anyone better than him.
Total Impact Martials Arts provides the ultimate intersection of martial arts tradition and modern instruction. As a Father with a martial arts background, watching my 7-year old begin the martial arts journey at Total Impact Martial Arts is an incredible gift. The first time I observed the students repeat the Total Impact MA student creed, I had tears in my eyes. From top to bottom, every instructor is passionate and fully committed to teaching morals, values, focus, athleticism, and self-confidence in a way that is both engaging and fun. The Arlington Heights location is beautiful, modern, and clean. We commute 2x per week from Lake Forest and I share with people all the time, that there may be closer options, but we won’t ever sacrifice on quality. Shihan Brian could move his location to the south side of Chicago and we would follow :-) It’s more than just a dojo, it’s a family. You won’t find a better experience.
I have been going to Total Impact for almost 4 weeks. Brian and his team are so welcoming and provide a judgement free atmosphere. Regardless of your abilities ... they give you alternatives to meet your levels. They encourage you to push yourself always keeping your safety in mind. Guaranteed to make you sweat.
My son loves this place! Sensei Brian is great at maintaining structure as well as fun and training for his students. I see that my son enjoys being here as well as the other students. Would recommend it to anyone that wants their child to have structure, confidence and respect!
When I found Total Impact I was at a point in my life where I kept telling myself I was going to get in better shape and doing yoyo diets and could not commit myself to any of it. After talking to the owner Brian and signing up for a “6 week get fit challenge” all of that has changed. They are so great with working with you every step of the way to make sure every move is correct and motivating you to keep you on track, from day 1 I have felt like family. Even though the challenge is technically over Brian has been more than willing to help me continue on and keeping me in the right direction towards my goals. I recommend this place to anyone that just needs that little push of motivation and is not afraid to go for their goals.
Love! My son is now on his 5th class and we have nothing but good things to say. We are so pleased with the instruction, the focus on our son, and the overall positive environment. The instructors enjoy their job and you can see it. The owner truly enjoys and invests all of himself in to all who walk through his doors. Our son is 6 years old and his motor skills are already improving, his focus is getting better, and he can’t wait to go each time. Kids are allowed to be kids and have fun but are also expected to follow instructions. Such a perfect balance. Not a paid ad haha. We are real people with a real child in a real class which he really loves. Thank you Total Impact for the impact you are having on our family. Love and respect!
Total Impact is great! They are involved with the community, teach respect & have a tremendous enthusiasm that reflects their love and passion for martial arts. I highly recommend Total Impact!
My kids love the Little Ninjas class!Its fun yet teaches them discipline and the instructors are great with kids of all ages. And super patient with my kids!
I found Total Impact by clicking on this add (which I almost never do) about a 6-week Get Fit Challenge. When I entered the challenge, I didn’t know what to expect and was totally out of my comfort zone, but I went anyways and I am SO glad that I did. I absolutely LOVE this place and have fallen in love with the adult kickboxing classes. Everyone there treats you like family. It doesn’t matter your skill level or if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before. They watch each student and take the time to train with you. They will correct your form for you and show you the right way to punch, kick, squat, etc. to prevent you from getting hurt. For me this is HUGE! I’ve been to other workout classes and even had a personal trainer, but I ended up hurting my back because no one corrected my form when I was lifting weights. I am now pained every day by this injury. Total Impact is NOT like that at all. There is a huge emphasis on stretching, drinking plenty of water, and living an overall healthy lifestyle. They take the time to show you the correct movements and will explain why its important to have the correct form. I could go on and on about this place . . .This is the best workout that also teaches you discipline, respect, and self-defense. This isn’t your typical “workout class.” The challenge is in its last week and I had already decided after Day 1 that I will absolutely be sticking around to train at Total Impact for a long time. I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to check this place out and try at least one class. You won’t regret it!!
I had the pleasure of trying the facility out this morning and I am impressed.A little background about me so you can sort of weigh in for a little bit of credibility (lol) I have tried different fitness centers and I will not provide a review unless I feel that they deserve one. In my fitness journey, I will try and sign up on what currently fit my fitness goals. I am currently has been focused on strengthening workouts but aiming to lose fat mass, total weight (10lbs) and to increase strength and endurance. I am not getting close to this goal and felt like I am getting slower. It’s time for a little boost from trainings. Before trying out, I have tried a couple of facilities which I just didn’t fit in.I asked a friend to join me with try outs. We were welcomed and didn’t feel like a stranger. Every one introduced themselves to us. Now, I am sort of a newbie on kickboxing but (Shihan)Brian and the others (Allen, Brandon, Jon... got your names, right? Lol)were always there to assist and explain the correct way to move to avoid injury (I was the “granny” who didnt remember what the next thing to do). They will correct without embarrassing you. The intensity of the workout has greatly met and my friend’s expectation. They gave me more than the little boost I was looking for!Knowing that I will be meeting what I wanted fitness-wise (strength, endurance, and more) while learning in a non-judgmental environment, I decided that it is the best way to reach the goal. I am 29 miles away but I will definitely see them again.Thank you very much for the great experience!!! I am excited for the next class 😊I encourage everyone to try it. You will definitely love it there ❤️
Just moved to the area, was looking for a place to keep active. Total Impact has that! Good prices, great instruction, friendly people. Highly recommend!
This place is great!The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere is comfortable and the classes are super flexible.My son and daughter always look forward to attending their classes.If you ever were curious, just drop in and watch a class last or two, thats what we did.
Great teachers
I have spent a lot of time at Total Impact observing Classes and Open House events for the students, their families and the public. Having been a School Social Worker and the Executive Director of a Mental Health Clinic specializing in serving children and their families, I think I bring a special perspective to this review.What struck me first about the students at Total Impact is their enthusiasm for the programs. You will see this especially with the kids, who are very attentive and excited about the classes. BIG SMILES EVERYHERE!I also found Master Brian to be an incredible instructor. In addition to being a 5th Degree Black Belt, he also has a “Black Belt” in teaching and entertaining children. There is no doubt the students are having fun, EVERY STUDENT! No one is left out. The amazing thing about this is that the kids are obviously learning a lot and Master Brian has a wonderful, gentle control of class discipline.When attending special events at Total Impact, I am always impressed with the amount of participation of both the students and their families. The attendance is amazing! Often the parents bring snacks without even being asked to. Everyone stays for the duration of the event.What a great, safe environment for children of all ages to learn high level martial arts, self confidence, self discipline, calmness, courtesy, and social skills.I think that the staff of Total Impact have established a perfect balance for the students. Martial Arts are a powerful tool: How wonderful that at Total Impact it is combined with a gentleness that comes from self-confidence.Full disclosure, Jeff Nelson, a partner and instructor at Total Impact is my son and I am very proud of it. The above review is my honest opinion. I would give the same review even if I were not related!
I absolutely love this place. Great instructors, great exceercices and great people. This place is like a family. This was a new excperience for me and my daughter and we totally love it. When you’re there you’re treated like family. Definitely check it out.
We love Total Impact Martial Arts.
What a great place, Shihan Brian, Sensei Jon Jon, Sensei Kyle & Brandon are so wonderful with the kids. We enjoy the training so much! The best martial arts school around!
I’ve been taking the Adult Kickboxing class for a few weeks now and it’s the best workout I’ve ever gotten. Brian and the other instructors are really knowledgeable and there to help make sure you’re doing everything the correct way so you get the most benefits from the workout.
We have a 4 year old and a 6 year old in classes here. The owner, Brian, is extremely involved, knowledgeable, and personable. Our kids love coming to class each week! Highly recommend!
Brian and the team genuinely care about my 5 year old son who is currently in the Little Ninjas program. The do more than teach karate. They teach lessons about respect, focus, effort, listening. They are patient with the little ones. They are more than just a dojo, they are a family. I would highly recommend this dojo to anyone that is interested and they have a great new space.
This place rocks! Great teachers! All the staff are knowledgeable and really friendly. My son and I love coming to class.
Total Impact Martial Arts is a great place to learn martial arts skills as well as life skills that will benefit anyone. Sensai Brian and his staff are well trained and teach in a way that keep students engaged. It is a fun place and my children always look forward to attending class each week. The class schedule is also flexible enough to accomodate even busy schedules like my kids have with other activities. Highly recommended.
My daughter has been attending Total Impact Martial Arts and Fitness for the past 8 months and absolutely loves it! We were looking for a way for her to stay active and this place was the shortest drive from our home. We dont have any history of any type of martial arts in our family, but I wanted to give her the life skill of not only being able to defend herself, but to also learn discipline, focus and following directions. I never could have anticipated this place being as amazing as it is. First, let me start off by saying Shihan Brian is not only personable, welcoming, and passionate about teaching, he also really knows how to draw kids in and keep their attention. Even when my daughter is tired and has had a long day, she always comes out of her Karate class pumped up and with a smile on her face. I enjoy watching my daughter work hard to develop and master her new skills and I especially appreciate the positive encouragement from all of the staff at Total Impact. I am so glad we took a chance and signed our daughter up for Karate at Total Impact, she loves it and so do we!
I have been attending classes with Sensei Brian for almost a year now and let me tell you, QUALITY instructor. He has the ability to mold his classes to benefit all levels of his students as well as the energy to keep everyone focused and motivated. Aside from his elite knowledge of this art, his passion, heart and drive to share what he knows to improve his students skills really shows. He is truly the definition of a role model. If youre looking for a place for you, a friend or your kids to join, Sensei Brian at Total Impact Martial Arts & Fitness is the man to see!
Ive been training at Total Impact for a few months now and I love it! Sensei Brian is a very talented teacher who adjusts the training to your level and needs, whether you just want a good exercise or are training for the ring - Brian will work with you to get you where you want to be.Since I started my stamina has gone miraculously up, Im feeling less tired and my stress levels have gone down. As someone with chronic pain I have to say that the past few months have been wonderful with significantly less symptoms than in the past.In addition to all that, Total Impact is a small local business and not some huge gym corporation, the environment is warm and welcoming and the treatment is very personal and respectful.I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants to train in a positive environment regardless of age. Ill be enrolling my son too when hes old enough!
Absolutely and unmistakably the ultimate kickboxing and fitness place! Highly recommend!
Total Impact Martial arts and Fitness center is simply the best!My son is taking Martial arts classes with them for past two months. The Instructors Shihan Brian,Sensei Allen and Jonathan keep classes fun, while also giving the kids a solid workout as they train and learn new techniques.Alongside the Martial arts,they are developing the kids to berespectful to others,to be responsible and to treat people with kindness.After watching my son trained, i decided to begin taking Kickboxing classes with them.I had no previous Experience in Kickboxing before when i signed up and was very nervous at the first timeThe Owner/Teacher Shihan Brian was extremely welcoming and had a great way of making me feel comfortable.Brian is an extremely knowledgeable Instructor.One of the great things Brian does is to make every class different. His passion and expertise is represented in every class.5 weeks in and Im pretty addicted to the workouts.I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new workout routine that is fun, challenging and sustainable.
What a gem of a place! The name “total impact” is so very right - its a Total Impact to your body and as a family we can see it everytime we go work out. Shihan Brian, Sensei Kyle, Sensei John John, Sensei Allen are all so awesome and so friendly with all the students. Their Martial arts techniques and making young kids understand the value of focus, respect and discipline sets them way above the others. Our young boy loves going to his Martial arts class and always felt comfortable from day 1 - thanks to Shihan Brian and other Senseis for being so involved and always trying to motivate each and every kid while teaching the key moves. Also being part of their kickboxing classes has made us bring the best of ourselves and realize the importance of being fit and going. The circuit training for kickboxing is different every day and ensures all different levels are included. Shihan Brian and Senseis all bring a lot of fun and enthusiasm while ensuring every singe student is able to give his/her atleast 100%. Its great to have a place like Total Impact which has made us much stronger as a family. As Shihan Brian says - THE FAMILY THAT KICKS ALWAYS STICKS!! Thank you to him and all the Senseis. We love this place and the positive impact it has brought in our lives!I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking either to learn martial arts or just have some fun while transforming their mind and body positively. Simply rocking!!
Love it! Total impact is wonderful! My entire family has trained with Shihan Brain and were better for it!
What a great place! Great atmosphere, great people, with challenging but fun workouts. I would totally recommend this place.
Fabulous instructors. Fabulous atmosphere, Fabulous workouts! FABULOUS!!
I am 53 years old and I love the kickboxing class. Its a combination of boxing, karate, and a cardio workout. You will leave the class feeling exhilarated and sweaty! This is my third time training with sensei Brian. I have followed him everywhere - he is a great great teacher!!
Best martial arts academy I found for my kidsTOTAL IMPACT on MIND, BODY and SPIRIT....almost a year together!!!
My son attends classes at Total Impact with Sensei Brian. He has seemingly endless patience with the children in the class. He balances periods of concentration and focus with games that let all that pent up energy out, and hes very careful that the kids have fun and dont get hurt. It is amazing how much my 7 year old has learned already, he is so proud of himself and he has so much fun he cant wait to get back to the dojo.Martial arts is a great way to instill confidence, bully proofing, sportsmanship, team spirit, a sense of accomplishment, and discipline in children. Total Impact is a place where kids truly receive the full lesson and learn not only what all of those things mean, but how to implement them in their daily lives and be there best selves.
My kids love coming here, it’s reasonably priced and the teacher is great with them.
My son started attending the class when is 4 years old. He loves attending the classes . Sensei Brian is amazing with the kids.
