Bought a Groupon here and went in with big hopes. The deal was for two months of unlimited classes for $69. Strike one- I tried calling 6-10 times during the day to make sure there would be space for me in the class that evening. There was never an answer and my messages went unreturned, so I decided to show up to the scheduled class and hope there was room. There was.
The class was great- friendly classmates, good instruction, lots of encouragement. Was mildly uncomfortable being one of the only women, but it did not affect my participation, and I felt able to keep up with

I’m in my 40’s and TMA has changed my life. Been going there for two years now and I have never been healthier. The staff, the owners, absolutely 110% care about all their students. I have never once felt like all they cared about was money. I think people forget that it’s a business and it wouldn’t be a business if they were irresponsible with membership fees. Hey, people like free handouts, what are ya gonna do?!
If you wanna change your health for the better and actually wanna learn actual martial arts skills and help your family, this is the place to go. You need to earn it here, so

I have been attending Thurston academy jiu-jitsu 4 days a week for about 2 years now. I enjoy all of my classmates and every instructor.
Every instructor is willing and ready to help you if you're ready to help yourself. If you are dedicated to yourself and committed to your personal growth they will be with you every step of the way.

If you are looking for a legit place, TMA is where you want to be! There are so many "Belt-Factories" out there, but here you earn every bit of your hard work! People who have the nerve to post negative remarks about TMA, are a bunch a cowards who are looking for a free handout. If you want to actually learn a true martial art, don't look any further. If you're a person who can't handle hard work, go pound sand at a "Belt-Factory!" Thanks!

I signed up for their services in September 2020. Once you sign up it states you are locked into the contract for 6 months. I went to TWO classes due to constantly being exposed to COVID but understood the agreement I signed and never tried contacting the business for my money back. I figured in February my contract would be past the 6 months and I would be eligible to cancel my services and stop paying the $99 per month. (Mind you I happily paid $600 for 2 classes). Well, they charged me for March, so I called 3/28 to request a refund. I just got a call back finally on 4/19 informing me that not

I thought I was giving money to a local owner, yea no he lives in Florida and he only cares about money not the kids. I took my child out after almost a year there and I never asked for my money back when they were closed and still charging tuition during the Covid.

2 years ago I would of given 5 star review. My son loved it there but after losing a sensei he had gained great respect and connection with the entire attitude of the place went downhill.
The owners do not even acknowledge you when you walk in. They only care about the money they bring in. It is not the place we knew previously.
All the senseis and senpais are fantastic and truly love and care about the development of the children.
The owners do not. They handled disagreements completely unprofessionally. And we’re quite frankly extremely rude.

The kids beginning karate program is a wonderful balance of taking karate seriously while also making the experience fun. There's a reasonable range of ages and abilities in the class, so the less experienced have the chance to see where they're headed and the somewhat more experienced have the chance to show some leadership and model what they know and can do. Even after a tough day, my son comes out of class laughing and in a better mood than when he went in. The schedule is flexible which is nice. It's not cheap, but neither are other well run opportunities to learn new skills

I started taking classes here last year and love it. All of the instructors are excellent and very encouraging. They have been able to modify my training to account for my ongoing feet issues with no problem. I have learned so much! I feel great knowing I’m learning karate from Senseis that have learned from a long lineage of karate that can be traced back to karate masters from Okinawa. I would recommend this dojo to anyone who wants to learn karate.

I have been going to Thurston on and off for a bit doing the Jui Jitsu class, and I have never had a bad experience. Everyone that I have come into contact with there has been more than accommodating, from the owners to the students. It's always fun, and you get one hell of a workout, 10/10 would jui jitsu again :).
