I have been looking around for Martial Art School for my 14 years old boy Justin. for sometimes. He never seemed to be happy with his previous Karate School. But, then, I found this place (recently opened). I emailed the Sensei (Master, Mike) He replied right away with warm welcome words. I set up first class trial out the same day. I saw how Mike conducted the class on time. Every one is learning at their own pace, He'd come around and assisted each individual who was behind with the new technique. With my former Taekwondo Instructor Experience I can tell Mike is a Great Teacher. After witnessing the Sensei in action I immediately signed my Boy up for the first month while the class is in session, and Plan to sign him up for as long as he has interested in Jiu Jitsu. If you are the skeptic like me, email Sensei Mike, or come in to see for yourself. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy family and I have been here since he opened. Weāve been to a number of gyms before this one, and none have come close to the amazing experiences we have had at The Lair.
The culture here is awesome! At The Lair, we can be ourselves around everyone at the gym. No drama, no egos, never any bad vibes.
The kids program is structured, simplified, competitive and really pushes the kids to be better inside and outside of the gym. The parents are all getting pretty close too!
The adult classes are really fun, Coach Mike teaches great jiu jitsu that is realistic, modern, competition tested and EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND APPLY.
This gym is home. Everyone here feels like family, like weāve known each other for years. I canāt recommend it enough to anyone...

I have yet to train at his new school due to my work schedule but I've been learning from him since around 2013. I have a nikyu rank in judo and wrestled collegiately and Mike still beats me up in a kind way (even though he doesn't have to).
More important than just his savage skills are his ability to teach and the fact that he's genuinely a good dude. Great with kids and adults. Always welcoming and he knows how to cater to various skill levels.
Everyone loves the guy so you won't regret the opportunity to learn from him. I rarely leave reviews so that's a testament to how cool of a dude he is. Most of the time. Jk.
Also, great music...
