Great school, one of the best around, it's located close to my workplace. I have been going there for on and off for 5 years. One of the originals, Kurt and Amariah are great people with tons of knowledge to share on the martial arts. Oh! And their two twin daughters are adorable. The school offers many great arts which is displayed on many films such as the Jason Bourne films, Book of Eli, John Wick , and many great other action films.

I have a toddler son and was looking to explore an unfamiliar routine of exercise and meet new people. When I arrived to my first session, I felt so welcomed by the class, which was without a doubt a direct reflection of the owner's (Kurt) values for building the martial arts community.
Kurt has been remarkably kind, encouraging, and meets individuals where they are at in their journey. Judge free zone couldn't describe Boombox any better. The school's culture is supportive and I am thankful to have gained a community of friends. If youre looking to explore martial arts and be a part of a diverse community of students,...
