Great family run organization and excellent teaching team. We have been involved for a few months to date and have enjoyed the training, fitness and confidence gained through Omaha Blue Waves. My kids started lessons and shortly after I was training as well. There is something for all ages and abilities. Check them out if you are or ever have been remotely interested in martial arts training.

I have been participating in the fitness side of Omaha Blue Waves for almost 3 months and am really impressed with the facility, support and variety of fitness classes. The classes are fun and challenging! Michele is passionate about helping people develop and reach their goals on their own timeline and based on their needs.

My family has been been involved with Omaha Blue Waves for over 6 years. My kids and I are are martial arts students and my wife takes fitness classes and gets regular massages. This is a great family owned business and all their instructors are knowledgeable and patient. All their memberships are month-to-month, so you are never locked into a contract.Grandmaster Jeff Helaney has over 50 years martial arts experience as well as real-world experience from a life in law enforcement. OBW teaches traditional martial arts, which includes both physical and personal development. Ive watched my children as well as others develop confidence, respect and personal responsibility, qualities their teachers have complemented them on. Belt ranks at this school are earned, not given out simply because you paid your fees. So when a student is promoted, they know theyve earned it.Omaha Blue Waves has something for every age group. If youre looking for a fun, family oriented activity to keep you moving and push you to be your best, stop in and check them out.

Omaha Blue Waves goes above and beyond to provide high quality martial arts training. Their passion and dedication has had an impact on individuals around the country. If you are fortunate enough to live in the Omaha area I highly recommend enrolling in their programs and if you live far, I recommend their annual events.

Knowledgeable, patient, and fun instructors! This place offers exciting skill-based martial arts classes for a wide age range. It’s definitely a great family oriented program, where the emphasis is on the entire martial arts journey rather than just a belt color. Everyone at OBW is very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The fitness classes at OBW are also great. These classes will not only challenge you, but will also keep you motivated! I highly recommend Omaha Blue Waves!

Great southwest location. As a massage therapist, wonderful place to take a continuing education class. Tables are available so I dont need to bring mine which is really nice. Michele is very knowledgeable and keeps class sizes small for an intimate learning environment.

Where do I even start, Omaha Blue waves Fitness has been AMAZING the last year and half. They provide great classes that range from Bootcamps, to belly dancing, kickboxing to insanity class plus more! I enjoy that I am able to get one pass and go to ANY of the classes that are offered during the week. The staff always makes the classes fun and challenging. Blue Waves has helped me meet my goals and have a fun time doing it as well! If you are looking for a great place to workout, come check out our family!

I absolutely love this place and what it has done for me physically and mentally. The groups are small enough and you dont feel like you have to keep up with everyone. When I see what I have accomplished in the last year and a half, it still amazes me. From losing 45+ pounds, to being able to conquer boot camps, to running a 5k for the first time, I feel healthier, fit and have made wonderful friends with the group. It is about you and what your goals are and from the participants to the staff they want the best for you. The personal touch is what I needed and I am grateful to the team for helping me along the way. There are classes 6 days of the week between Boot Camps, Cardio Kickboxing, Yoga and Hit-Fit and it gives you a great variety of workouts. And that doesnt even include all the martial arts classes that are available!Also, their massage therapy is phenomenal, from getting a relaxing massage to really working on those knots or chronic areas, they will take care of you!I would recommend Omaha Blue Waves if you are looking for a good workout place and new family!

I am continually impressed with all aspects of my Sons personal development since he started taking classes at Omaha Blue Waves. He’s been involved in other sports, and though he enjoyed them, the lessons he learned never extended much past the physical activity. The classes at Omaha Blue Waves reinforce respect, courtesy, self-control and personal responsibility. Having just come from my Son’s parent teacher conference, Im pleased to say those lessons have followed him into the schoolroom.All that being said, my Son loves taking classes at Omaha Blue Waves and he’s always happy to see the friends he’s made there. The instructors continually challenge the students with new things to learn while keeping the classes fun and energetic. It’s definitely worth your time to give them a look. You won’t be disappointed.

Omaha Blue Waves is one of the premier organizations in the area. The martial arts program focuses on the students and learning, not just a belt mill. My family has been associated with OBW for over 7 years and will be life-long members. The owners/staff is exceptional and treats everyone as member of their family. It has been a privilege to be associated with Omaha Blue Waves.If you have an interest in martial arts, wanting personalized attention to reach fitness goals, or need a great massage, Omaha Blue Waves is the place to be.

Our family of four has been taking martial arts classes at Omaha Blue Waves for over two years. In that time we have enjoyed the best martial arts instruction available in Omaha. OBW doesnt just teach self-defense... the instructors there are committed to helping each student grow as a person and member of the community. Give it a try, you will be very pleased with the experience at Omaha Blue Waves!

I went recently to Michele Helaney at Omaha Blue Waves Massage and was completely satisfied with her professionalism as well as thoroughness. The massage was described as medical in nature and was much more advanced than a spa type massage. Her pressure was excellent and did not make me painful the next day unlike other deep tissue massages that I have experienced. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends.

This is the second martial arts school that I have taken my children to. The first one made us sign a long contract, made us lots of promises, and delivered on nothing. I was hesitant to take them anywhere else because of the bad experience. I took a chance on Omaha Blue Waves because of a friends referral and I am really glad that I did. The staff is extremely knowledgeable. It is obvious they care about what they do and about the students they teach. You have to experience it to really get it. When they say their students are like a family, they really mean it. I want to say thank you to Grandmaster Helaney and all the staff for making us feel like part of the family. We really love this school. Thank you!!!

Omaha Blue Waves is a wonderful place for martial arts, fitness and massage. My son started Tae Kwon Do here in September of 2011, I started fitness classes in January of 2012, have done both group classes and private fitness training as well as massage therapy. Fun classes in an awesome family environment and all of the instructors really care about the students both young and adult. They want to see people succeed no matter what their goals. I cannot imagine my son or myself going anywhere else.

Great group of instructors and students. GM Helaney hosts one of the USAs best tournaments. Ive attended a Shiatsu seminar and it was the best massage training Ive ever received. TOP-NOTCH!

My son has been attending martial arts at OBW now for 4 years. We started him at the age of 6 to help him with focus and respect. He has grown so much in these areas as well as discipline, control and having more confidence in himself. The coaches are amazing with the kids and make it fun. OBW offer classes for all ages.

We couldnt be more pleased with Omaha Blue Waves as a Martial Arts School. My daughter has attended classes at OBW for the past 2 1/2 years, and during that time, we have not only seen her grow tremendously as a martial artist, but as a a person. At OBW, it is not about the belt color so much as it is about the journey and the character you build along the way. If you are looking for a very family-oriented school run by owners who are extremely knowledgeable about martial arts and who genuinely care about you and your children, you will want to give it a try.
