  I am three weeks into the Fitness class, going 2-3 times/week and already see the change – much more mobility, endurance & strength, and I live my days more conscious! The class has people all of ages & fitness levels – and yet seems to fit everybody. The instructor Clare manages to challenge everybody to their level & motivates us to rise to our personal best. The exercises are the perfect combination of cardio, strength & mobility – quite fast paced but very mindful and clear to understand. I get personal attention where needed and always feel welcome. The class ends with a a few minutes of calmness and mindfulness – for me the perfect way to transition back into my daily life duties. I didn’t expect the class to carry over into my days as much – I am physically fitter, but also live much more conscious in body posture & mind… It has been great! And the playlist Clare puts on is an added bonus..

  I came to Sun Dojo because I was new to the neighborhood and saw that they were offering a donation-based women's self-defense class. Looking to increase my self-confidence, and to develop basic self-defense skills, I attended the class and was instantly impressed. My assumption about jiu jitsu being more of a man's martial art was challenged after first being trained by Professor Laurel, and then attending a very mixed-gender basic jiu jitsu class. Now, I train several times a week. I look forward to it. It's been a fantastic welcome to the neighborhood because the community is so great. And the improvements I've noticed in my daily life are constant and tangible: higher self-confidence, discipline, patience, and surprisingly joy! I feel happier with a regular jiu jitsu practice. I'd highly recommend Sun Dojo, for both the training and the community.

  My 9 year old son really likes the Ninja class and is proud of his progress in the various gymnastic activities. Laurel keeps the kids moving, motivated, and happy.

  My nine-year-old daughter has been taking the juniors Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes at Sun Dojo since September 2015. We are thrilled that she is learning a martial art. Not only is she learning self-defense and self-discipline but she is gaining confidence, focus and is "bully-proof." At the end of classes, according to my daughter, the instructors, all of whom are excellent, talk to the students about the morals of being a martial artist: martial artists are ten feet tall and bully-proof; they try their best; they make smart choices. In her elementary school on more than one occasion, she has stood up for her friends when they were being teased by other kids. My daughter is naturally very shy and quiet and the instruction at Sun Dojo is instilling in her the confidence to do the right thing. She also takes the Ninja classes which she finds fun and challenging and great for her physical dexterity and bravery. We highly recommend enrolling your kids in the juniors classes at Sun Dojo!

  I'm a beginner - a proud white belt and must say, I don't have any place to compare it to. but I think this is a great place if you are new to BJJ, since it has just opened and full of beginners, you don't have to worry about being ruffed up by experiences grapples. in fact they are very helpful - following the lead of Professor. Professor Stewart Carroll keeps it real and always ready to answer your questions. everyone is very friendly on and off the mat. so if you want to get in shape, learn self-deference or continue the training you've had quit for whatever reason, I think you should join Sun Dojo.
