Top Defense & Fitness Gym

Fantastic experience: I am and have been an instructor here at Top Defense fitness here for about over a year now. I can without a doubt say from the bottom of my heart that the training and the knowledge you get from coming is top notch. We have multiple class to fit everyone’s interests if need be. Coaches/Fellow instructors. that I have interacted with is very personable and very outgoing. I would give TDF Gym more than 5 stars. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been practicing martial arts for several years and we count TDF gym as a second home. The class options and caliber of instruction are fantastic and the sense of community is unrivaled. It doesn't matter if you've been coming for years, or just walked in the door, you'll feel accepted. The instructors are the perfect balance of kind, patient, and dedicated to helping students of any age push themselves to the peak of their potential. All instructors are Safe Sport certified, and have basic or advanced first aid training. The Judo club is recognized and registered with USA Judo, and has many athletes that compete in events around the nation, and have been or are ranked nationally, as well as qualify and compete internationally. Which is a testament to the quality of instruction. The Tae Kwon Do and Hapikdo classes are thorough and rigorous, and registered as well. We personally don't attend the other offerings, but it's easy to see they are just as top tier. Many students participate in multiple disciplines. Being able to attend any/all classes offered is an amazing opportunity. The TDF owners and staff genuinely care about every person who walks through their doors. This sense of stewardship is passed down to athletes of every age, and is evidenced by the willingness of the older youth athletes volunteering to help mentor and train with new, younger students, as well as the fact that adult members that have moved away regularly return to practice and support the team. If you want a place where your children can be active, build confidence, and be a part of a community, TDF is the best choice in the valley. And if you're an adult that wants to get a work out that pushes your limits, while taking your martial arts skills to the next level, or learn them for the first time, you'll find a home here. From first time beginners of all ages, to life long students, there are classes to fit your needs.

Fantastic experience: A place of high expectations and achievement: There is a structured, consistent, and predictable learning environment for all students. Students are divided into various classes by belt rank, ensuring each student gets the focused help they need to grow. Students expectations are posted and reinforced with positive teaching.

New students are welcomed and invited to participate as much or as little as they choose. There is no pressure. Parents are encouraged to stay and watch. The older students are kind and patient to newer students. They work hard to make new students feel welcome. TDF has both casual students and High performing competitors.

He takes time to train each kid individually and helps them work on what they need to improve. He teaches them self confidence and motivates them to believe in themselfs. He pushes them because he believes in them and that helps them believe they can do it. Hes not just good with kids but teenagers and adults as well.
