The teachers/masters are excellent instructors and accommodating as well. I love how my daughter enjoys both MMA and Jiu Jitsu.
As a parent, it is important that our daughter is learning at the same time having good sportsmanship with a bit of fun.
I admire the consistency and discipline, especially how instructors help young ones to adapt and cooperate with their proper training skills .
I highly appreciate the values being taught here and modelled by the professional instructors in regards of respect, kindness and most of all discipline.
They make sure the instructions are structured accordingly to age.
The training has helped my daughter to handle tantrums in losing issues which is not easy to for 7-year old kid. The teachers have nurtured her well with encouragement and being brave. The Infight intructors pays attention to their students on how they can improve with self-confidence and trust they will reap good skills with hard-work.
I would recommend Infight for any age who wants to acquire self-defense, good exercise to have it as a hobby, learn new skills. Plus, Tamara, the receptionist is truly an amazing person and she will help you all the way.
