Susan Nowinski 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My 7 year old has been taking classes for 4 months and she loves going every week. Shihan Brian is welcoming, enthusiastic, and straight forward. He creates a warm, supportive, and fun learning environment that motivates students, keeps them engaged, and helps them feel successful. Total Impact is very family-oriented and the instructors are great with the kids - patient and encouraging. My daughter struggles with motor coordination & Shihan Brian or one of the amazing senseis will step in to show her proper technique and provide guidance when she’s struggling, which I greatly appreciate. They do this for other students, too. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: As a junior black belt here at total impact martial arts, I have been taught many amazing and interesting moves, but it's not just about the class, Head master Shihan Brian has helped many kids find their own confidence through marital arts and it's disciplined aspects that are brought along with the class

D'Ann Johnson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son started at Total Impact in the Spring. He was hesitant and shy, very nervous to start. After the first class he said he loved it, and looks forward to it every week. He's already ready to test for his next belt, and I can see his confidence growing. The whole staff is welcoming and encouraging, and Brian has been super flexible, allowing for schedule shifts for our busy Summer. We hope to continue at Total Impact for a long time.

Eric Schmidt 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Total impact is a great martial arts studio that I have been a part of for over 5 years now, my experience here has been amazing and I have had a great experience. The classes at total impact have taught me not just martial arts, but important life skills such as how to manage my ability to focus and my mental health. After five years of amazing experience with the total impact team and family, I can officially say: Total impact truly deserves a five star rating.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Total Impact adult MMA class in January this year and I can't say enough positive things about my experience. Shihan Brian and all the instructors are true professionals and the coaching is top-tier. I never threw a punch or kick until I started here and I'm now in the best shape of my life. The others in the class are welcoming and were happy to include this newbie. If you are on the fence, come join us!

Fantastic experience: I had moved my boys from a different dojo before to Total Impact in search of better training. We are really glad we found Total Impact! Thank you for Shihan Brian and the Senseis for making this possible. The routines, challenges, workout and teaching strategies are well rounded. They also always have 3-4 sensei on the floor, which enables them to guide and correct the kids regarding their form and techniques. My boys had been with Total Impact for about a year now, and with significant improvements. Highly recommended Total Impact Martial Arts and Fitness!

Malia Norman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Total impact has made such a great impression on my grandson. Sensei Brian and all the other Sensei’s are so encouraging, kind, helpful, and respectful, they work really hard to instill this in all the kids. They’re not only teach them fun moves and self-defense but focusing, respect, having goals, working hard and kindness. My grandson is now on his third year at total impact and he has learned so much and has fun doing it! You will not regret signing your child up for these classes. * I’ll also mention that if there is a time that your child can’t make it to their class for some reason, they are great about letting you make it up. Thank you so much to all the senseis at Total Impact!

All the senseis are so nice, encouraging, and they really go out of their way to make these kids feel confident in their martial art skills. They help her do better and improve in every class. I would definitely recommend Total impact martial arts to anyone who wants to learn to defend themselfs. I really do feel confident that my child can use any of these skills to defend herself in the real world.They really do deserve 6 stars.

Jillian Garcia 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If I could give Total Impact 10 stars, I would! From the moment I walked in, I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable. Kickboxing is a great way to work on your fitness, and these classes work your entire body! What I love most is that each class has something different. The coaches and sensei’s are great in explaining the techniques and helping out when needed. There’s always 3-4 coaches in class, and I believe that the one on one attention makes a big difference. I have and will continue recommending this place! Great place, great coaches, and great classes!

Jennifer Sinclair Jones 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending TIMA for 4 months now and he LOVES it every day just as much as the first! Shihan Brian was super welcoming and understanding of my questions. He recommended Mixed Martial Arts for my son who is easily distracted. What an excellent choice! The first day, my boy was really nervous about being the 'New Kid'. The reception he received was incredibly welcoming and kind from all the Senseis and the students. He's making friends, learning self-mastery and new skills, and we can see how much he has progressed even in these few short months. Total Impact Martial Arts is a blessing on our family and gives my boy the outlet he needs to help manage the vagaries of his teenage years. Thank you to everyone at TIMA!

Kimberly Forrester 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter has just started with Total Impact a few weeks ago and loves it! In just a few weeks we've noticed how much more confident she has become. Brian has been nothing but patient with all of our questions. If you're ever on the fence about having your child join, do it! Trust me, this has been the best decision we have made

C Belen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been part of Total Impact Martial Arts for almost two years since she was five years old, and I've witnessed improvement in her growth not only in skill but also in character thanks to in part to Shihan Brian and his team. They play a big role in honing many young kids' minds and character through their fun and structured teaching. They are patient and professional, instill confidence and motivation with positivity, and are very knowledgeable and inspirational teachers. I am grateful to have come across and have my daughter enrolled as a student at this dojo. We plan on continuing her training here for as long as possible until black belt status and beyond. If you're looking for a martial arts place, look no further. Thank you, Shihan Brian, for creating a fun and amazing martial arts atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: I decided to sign up for a trial and I’m glad I did. Today April 6th, 2023 I decided to do kickboxing. My experience here was awesome. I went to a jiu-jitsu class last Saturday April 1,2023 and my experience wasn’t great. The jiu-jitsu class made me feel like I was just a number and ToTal Impact Martial arts and fitness made me feel like a person. They even acknowledge me by my name and the instructors walk around to help you with the technique. They make you feel welcome and they work with you also. I’m even considering joining my kid here Definitely, going back ! Thinking about joining a martial class and don’t know which one . Well I RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION .

Fantastic experience: I’m so happy we have found Total Impact. We have tried 4 different places before and I couldn’t even get my son to finish his trial, he’d say he doesn’t wanna stay there anymore.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to have found something to focus on. I wish I found Kickbox Fitness with Total Impact a lot sooner. My first few conversations with Brian were amazing. I was answered all the questions I had asked with even more detail given. Every week, every class is always different which I love. It's a great environment with such wonderful instructers. I am glad i found a place I can enjoy going to and leaving feeling great. Couldn't have asked for a better place to have joined.

Fantastic experience: We love Total Impact! Sensei Brian and his whole team are dedicated, passionate teachers, who are sweet and flexible, and really understand the family sports dynamic! He's personable and approachable, which is a dying element of 21st century business! My 4 year old son went from yelling and screaming when asked to do simple tasks at home, to waking up and making his bed because Sensei Brian, told him that's what a good karate student did! My older daughter has moved through ninjas into more advanced levels, and she loves learning and practicing new skills! If you're on the fence, try out a class, you won't regret it!

Dean Henderson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter loves coming to Total Impact. Shihan Brian and the other Masters are great teachers. They do not try to just pass the kids from belt to belt.

Helen Cha 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We have tried 4 different Taekwondo/martial arts schools before we found Total Impact. Brian along with all of the other instructors (we love sensei Kirk and Brandon) are ABSOLUTELY amazing with kids. They are so patient, so kind yet firm, and positively encourages and teaches my boys (ages 5 and 7) to become the best they can be. Brian actually teaches all of the classes, and he is just awesome! I love the way he pays attention to every single student (and parents/families), and teaches all of the techniques along with great values. I also appreciated the fact that there was zero pressure to sign up after our free trial. There is no contract and the class fees are very reasonable, too! My boys didn’t want to try yet another martial arts school, but after a couple of weeks, they absolutely LOVE the classes. We’re so happy with Total impact! I hope to keep our boys here until they receive their black belts!!

Lucy Block 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Total Impact is a wonderful place to learn and train in the martial arts or take a kickboxing class. My son loves training with Brian and the other instructors.

Fantastic experience: My son has been going to Total Impact for about a year. I can’t say enough good things about the program here!

Francisco Cruz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son had tried 3 different martial arts places. He did not feel comfortable in any of them. Then we Found "Total Impact" and he really enjoys it. Hes been there for about 4 years now. The instructors are great and really focus on each student and their performance. I highly recommend this place. In my personal opinion, Total Impact will have a positive "Impact" weather your young or old. Our goal is to make it to a black belt.

Ainel Alberth 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Our kids have been a part of Total Impact for several years. Sensei Brian is an exceptional coach! He understands kids, he gets to know them pretty well. He is kind, but knows how to keep discipline during class. Kids are taught great techniques and learn how to keep great form required for Martial arts. Our kids really thrive there. The belt ranks are not given out just for attendance but for hard work. We are impressed with Brian’s approach and grateful for his advice and attention!

V Mani 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My son is 8 years old. We've been coming to Total Impact for about 2 months now and HE LOVES IT!!! Every day he asks me Momma, do I have Dojo today :). So much so I got a wall calendar so he could be responsible for his schedule. Total Impact, Brian the owner and the entire staff are amazing. Not only are they teaching my son Martial Arts but the mindset work of learning how to instill confidence, respect for others, focus. It's amazing. I am so glad we found Total Impact and became a part of their family. And that's exactly how they make you feel, like family. We can't say enough about our incredible experience with Total Impact. Thank you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Our 10 yrs old daughter is always looking forward to her weekly class at Total Impact.Since starting to attend class in there she has become more self disciplined towards life and school expectations as well. As a parent I really like the form that students have to provide in order to be allowed to test for the next belt. It makes students aware of how to conduct themselves with respect, accountability and responsibilities. All great life skills! The staff is always extremely nice and helpful. We are very happy with choosing Total Impact!

Monika Davis 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our daughter started this past August and absolutely loves it. Great for kids of all ages. Great teacher to student ratio. What we love most is they don’t just teach to progress students (you don’t earn belt promotions simply by showing up - you earn it through your knowledge and your attitude). They take their time reinforcing concepts. They also mix in multiple disciplines. We are extremely happy we found this place. Thank you Brian and all of the wonderful instructors.

Eric Broussard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started the adult classes at Total Impact a couple months ago. The kickboxing class is fun & high energy. Sensai Brandon takes you through the flows and leaves you exhausted. You'll have so much fun you'll barely notice time past. Then there's MMA where we get technical with Sensai Kirk. Here is where you learn real self defense. Sensai Kirk teaches you the technique and then "it's your Krav after that!!!" Sensai Brian's the best. He's always there to correct form and provide "motivation!" He builds the community with BBQs and Holiday parties. When You join this gym you're joining a family. If You're on the fence, come check it out. It's a great workout!!!

Jason Karno 2 years ago

Leo Beitz 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This organization is fantastic. I've been going on and off for 2 years due to a busy schedule and Covid but I can say that Sensei Brian is the best coach I've ever had. When you're at the place you feel like you're with family friends while learning and building your martial arts talent. I refuse to go to another martial arts organization. Most places handout black belts for the sake of it even when you're not close to being one. Brian makes sure you learn and earn each belt up. Easy to work with and flexible. 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ establishment and coaching.

Fantastic experience: Total Impact is a wonderful school that we are so happy our son is a part of. They instill great values and teach kids to be respectful and resilient. Our son is attending twice a week and loves it so much that he wants to go even more often. Our younger son also goes and is thrilled with the school. The teachers are great and everyone is very helpful. This is a wondrous place for kids to learn from and be part of something meaningful. I love that my son can’t wait to be there. We would 100% recommend this school to everyone!

Fantastic experience: What an outstanding operation! Shihan Brian leads with a positive energy that really motivates the students not just to learn, but to excel! The instructor and coaches engage with each student throughout the class to offer pointers, critique, and positive feedback. The gym is clean and neat. The equipment is very well maintained. Lots of classes to choose from. Great job Team Total Impact!!!

Fantastic experience: Brian and his co teachers Allen, Brandon, and the others are always full of energy for every class. They really infect you with their enthusiasm for Karate. My daughter loves coming to class and I've seen her confidence improve. They're flexible with makeup classes and will explain procedures with you. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: My son attends classes at Total Impact with Master Brian. He has seemingly endless patience with the children in the class. It is amazing how much my 8 year old has learned already, he is so proud of himself!

Fantastic experience: My 6 yr old nephew and I went to our first class today. He went to a jr. class and I attended the kick boxing after. Brian and his team taught and entertained more than 15 kids for 45 min. The kids were attentive, smiling, asking questions, running, jumping and seemed to enjoy every minute. It was impressive to say the least. My nephew asked when the next class was at dinner. I had a great time at kick boxing. They encouraged everyone to go at their own pace and not over do it while delivering one hell of a workout! Everyone had their own punching bag to work out on as well. The instructor was helpful and the class flew by. I’m going again tomorrow!

Fantastic experience: My 10-year-old daughter wanted to try Karate after watching Cobra Kai. The owner was very welcoming and explained the whole process. He told me that his father-in-law trained at a dojo in Chicago that inspired Cobra Kai. The uniforms are similar to Cobra Kai and the classes are easygoing at first not to discourage new kids. The belt progression system gives kids the motivation to keep going. My daughter gets a good workout while having fun and listening to 80’s music. Great overall experience that has my daughter coming back!

Fantastic experience: My daughter is in the Junior MMA program and this is truly an amazing place! It is a very friendly environment! The instructors walk around while they are practicing to help them further understand the combinations. Sensei Brian and the other instructors have taught my daughter so much in only a few months of attending. I definitely recommend going to Total Impact Martial Arts to learn more about kickboxing or martial arts and get a great workout in!

They teach about form and respect, and they do so in an enjoyable way that allows each child to grow and make progress based on their need and ability. The dojo is clean, well-maintained, and it is reflective of the great ownership.
