My experience has been absolutely amazing. The team is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to helping every student improve. The atmosphere is welcoming, motivating, and perfect for all skill levels. My kids are loving the training as well and are excited to learn new skills every week. It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow and their enthusiasm for martial arts shine. I’m extremely happy with our experience so far and highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to build confidence, get fit, and learn from an exceptional team!

Honestly, I could probably write an essay about how much I adore this dojo. It’s amazing how you can make new connections just by attending one lesson! I train a few of the martial arts there and the coaches and students are genuinely the kindest people I know. I appreciate how much this place has done for me, as now I constantly think ‘wait what’s happening at the dojo today’ Overall just want to thank you so much for creating such a nice and welcoming space!!

Excellent teachers, supportive environment and the kids love it. I pay for the $35/week option and so the kids do karate on Wednesday and Jiu jitsu Thursday. There's an hour-long class just before Jiu jitsu on Thursday too, called bear cubs which is apparently about fitness. As far as I can tell, it's controlled chaos, however they run the kids hard and they absolutely love it. The price is very very reasonable once they're getting three classes for around $12 each. Highly recommend.

I have been attending the Bellatrix, women-only fitness class for about eighteen months. The sessions are led by Kiley Baker. Since I have been attending both Tuesday and Thursday classes, my overall health has greatly improved. My vitality, muscle strength, fitness, has increased, and my immune system has improved, especially since I have included ice baths. I feel very welcomed in the dojo as there is great camaraderie between the women in the classes. Kiley is very knowledgeable around the best way to use the equipment and move my body. She manages to guide me through that fine balance between increasing muscle strength without incurring injury. The improvements to my overall health have been life enhancing. A big shout out to the whole dojo.

Elisha! You've been such an inspiration, from what Kiley has told me. Age really is just a number.

Such a warm and professionally run company. My son joined this year and the teachers are exceptional at mentoring and teaching the art of Karate. My son also participates in the Cub fitness and has been a real highlight of his week. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Been doing Muay Thai here since March 2024 and as this is the first martial art I've done I'm very happy with the progress that I've made. The community is so nice too, and it's a great opportunity to meet new people :)

Such a welcoming, knowledgeable and homely experience. And absolute bonus that our little girl is entertained with toys in the play area.

If we can keep your kids busy for an hour so you can decompress, I'd ay that's a solid win

I take my daughter to musubi dojo for the junior karate classes once a week . They are amazing ,well coordinated , disciplined. My daughter was initially not interested to go for these classes but the coaches were very patient and helpful and made my daughter feel welcomed . She is very happy to go for karate classes . She is becoming more resilient and confident day by day . There is also a play area for younger ones or reading corner with toys and soft playmats for younger one to spend time as well.
