Class sizes vary depending on who shows, but are always productive and fun. Kickboxing class is full of people of all ages and differing levels of experience and everyone is willing to work with you to help you improve.

Mike is a great instructor with little kids. He's the perfect amount of firm and friendly. He smiles while he yells. Karate is a physical sport, it isn't easy; but Mike tempers his being strict while showing compassion. He focuses on selfcontrol and technique. I see my kids going here for many years. Definitely recommend!
I also go here myself for kickboxing. As a lazy couch potato with no endurance, no physical fighting experience, and a handicap; I've never felt more than welcome! After a few months I've noticed positive physical changes and am so proud of myself. I'll definitely recommend Ekim

This is an amazing place with Master Mike when watching him with the little kids makes me wish I would have brought my 12 year old grandson 7 or 8 years ago. When I see how much he is enjoying it and learning from it, this isn't just a gym or an MMA class its an investment in my grandson now and an investment in his future.

I signed my son up for the Little Dragon program in November and Master Mike has been amazing with him! He needed some confidence, some listening ears and discipline. He's succeeding and doing great. The changes have been great. Master Mike is a fabulous leader for these kiddos!

Mike is wonderful, patient, and professional with all ages! Kickboxing is my daughters favorite thing because of Master Mike. She has learned confidence, how to defend herself, and strength! The atmosphere makes you feel very welcome!

Ekims is an amazing dojo. Mike is an excellent teacher, who trains respectful students. My son takes karate here, and my brother and I did too. I always feel welcome in the dojo. I can't recommend them enough.

We came to karate for my four year old to help with discipline, listening, following directions, and physical activity. He was not interested in team sports at his young age. Mike is excellent with my son who had trouble holding still and focusing. He is patient with just the right amount of discipline. My son loves karate and his teacher. I would highly recommend.
