Great people, atmosphere. When you see the care and attention given to the students even when its busy its nice and reassuring. Our family is so glad we are here.

Love the kickboxing classes that virgil teaches. I lost 11 pounds already and love the energy. The studio is super clean and virgil always makes sure you're smiling and having a great time. Thanks Virgil.

Our son loves the Little Ninjas class. Good mix of activity and discipline. Great young instructors. Goal oriented skills are hard to teach the little ones but this program does it well. Clean facility and engaging staff. Recommended!

I enrolled my grandchildren here at US Elite. Recently we were at a parent teacher conference and the teacher said, Whatever you, DO NOT take him out of karate, he is so helpful, kind and considerate, the program has helped his learning and his attention span, keep him in karate for the rest of his life. If a parent says Karate is too expensive, I'm just going to put my kid in baseball instead I would reply Isn't their life worth it? If they are going to go do baseball, make sure you do martial arts first. Learn the life skills like respect, teamwork and controlling your emotions first. At first, his parents thought that karate might bring out more physical, aggression. But it has been completely opposite. Before he used to get mad and go around and punch things when he was upset or when someone says something mean to him. Now amazingly it doesn't bother him, he is centered and more self controlled.

I've been doing the US Elite program for about one year now. In the 10 week nutrition challenge and I lost 9 pounds and dropped 2 pant sizes. The nutrition program is a great program because it makes you accountable for what your eating and your regular exercise. It incorporates the kickboxing into the nutrition and makes it the best program. My energy and stamina has increased have skyrocketed since I started.

The instructor teaches a well plotted curriculum by the book to achieve our belts. Everything is taught with structure it is not pulled from the wall somewhere and thrown together. A key thing is repetition. Over and over drills, sequences so you learn what is needed. This is a school that cares about it's curriculum.

The classes are great. It works every muscle in your body and is great for losing weight or gaining weight whichever is your goal. This has helped me focus on those goals. I feel great after the workouts, It makes me feel good especially when I'm able to get down the intermediate drills and techniques. This school is a structured program each and every month for those techniques and ground exercises unlike other karate schools I have seen. I have made some good friends here which overall is great. We are able to push each other greater now. It really is a respectful, safe and friendly environment that allows us all to get better. I have brought in a few friends to train here and I am always recommending this program to everyone at school and church.

I have my daughter, son and myself enrolled here. It's something we can always do together. At home, I'm hearing "Yes dad, Yes mom.” They are taking what they learn here and using it at home and with their friends. I love it here because it enhances everything we are trying to do at home. It's not just Mom and Dad telling them how they should act. I like the character development they get here at US Elite because there is not much focus on that at grade school.

I lost a total of 21 pounds since I've been at US Elite. It's a great stress reliever and it makes me a better mom. I used to be a couch potato and now I'm doing classes 4 times a week.

I think that you guys are really cool! I watch you deal with the kids, even in the disciplining when they're not paying attention. It's just a firm yet gentle way of discipline.

Thanks to their kickboxing program, I have lost inches and I know I've lost pounds. Incredible! I haven't seen my thighs like this since I can't tell you how long. My pants are looser and not as tight. I have bad knees but the more I come to class the more stronger my knees and joints get. This is obviously from your wonderful spring floor and that I don't feel the impact. I really thought before I signed up that I can't do it, this isn't for me. I was wrong and I really, really love coming. My sleep hasn't been that great the last 12 years and now my sleep has been so much better and my bad back is so much better too. In the past I dreaded exercising and mentally I said Do I Have To. But not with your kickboxing class. I really, really enjoy coming.

The first thing I thought of when we were talking about Karate is that my son would come home and beat up his sister. This program has taught him when to use it, how to use it and it is for exercise and getting strong at his age. As a school teacher there a lot of kids that lack respect and the ones that are more respectful work better with other people, they understand the teamwork principles that will carry throughout his years into the workplace. I couldn't believe in just a week or two he was coming home and applying what he was learning in his karate class, I thought it would take at least a couple months. I love that he is brushing his teeth on his own, making his bed, cleaning his room, feeding the dogs and now working towards the things he wasn't doing before. When I signed up here I did not know that all the extras were part of it also. The first class the instructor was talking about stranger danger and the bathing suit area guidelines. One of the next classes was how to deal with bullies. It is really, really nice to hear those things from instructors outside myself and my husband. I already told other parents about the wonderful martial arts program. That they give you real life lessons. I tell them they are learning respect, working together, it's really life lessons unlike if you joined dance or gymnastics.
