Benefit #1
A great way to get in shape
Jiu-Jitsu offers an exceptional way to get into shape because it combines physical fitness and mental agility. It's a full-body workout that improves cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. The dynamic nature of Jiu-Jitsu engages various muscle groups while also enhancing balance and coordination. Moreover, the discipline promotes weight loss and overall fitness through consistent training. Beyond the physical benefits, it fosters mental resilience and problem-solving skills, making it a holistic and enjoyable path to better health and fitness.

Benefit #2
Stress Reliever
Jiu-Jitsu is a remarkable stress reliever due to its unique blend of physical activity and mental focus. When you step onto the mat, the intensity of training demands your full attention, allowing you to temporarily set aside life's stresses and anxieties. The controlled, measured movements required in Jiu-Jitsu help calm the mind and encourage mindfulness, reducing stress levels. Additionally, the camaraderie among training partners and the sense of accomplishment after each session creates a supportive and positive environment that can alleviate tension and promote mental well-being.

TSMA has done an amazing job responding to a community need for childcare! The communication from staff to parents does not compare to any other childcare facility we have been a part of! It’s amazing!! My 4year old daughter loves attending the Pre-K camp! So very thankful we found this amazing group.

Do you know how much I LOVE The Summit Martial Arts? this weekend I was telling a total stranger how much I appreciate the coaches and staff.

Ally loves getting to ride in the TSMA van after school. Thank you so much for including Piedmont Early Childhood Center to your after school program! We are Truly grateful! Ally is passionate about martial arts. This program allows her to participate in Martial Arts 4 days a week, where she is surrounded by positivity, recognition and is learning about respect! It’s fun to see her so excited, confident and more respectful. Thank you TSMA

My daughter is in her second year at TSMA and she absolutely LOVES it !! The staff and Admin all have a vested interest and concern for your child and your family......from Ms. Tara at reception to all the coaches you definitely know that your child and your family matter at TSMA!!! The coaches are very knowledgeable & professional but what I, as a parent, appreciate the most is that they teach "to" the kids not "at" them. They do an excellent job at building a rapport with the kids and make learning a SERIOUS but FUN Experience!!!!

I love Summit! My daughter goes to after school care and every day when I pick her up she is always in a good mood!

We have loved being a part of the Summit. They are nice, accommodating and just make you feel like family. We are enjoying our experience with all the different classes they offer for martial arts and jiu-jitsu. I participated in the women's jiu-jitsu and loved it.. 🙂 We love that they go above and beyond to show their customers that they are more than just customers but friends and family.

My nephew has been training here for several years and is now a black belt. He has benefited in so many ways that it’s nearly impossible to list them all. After visiting and watching a few times, I started coming to Fit classes and training with everyone. It was such a welcoming environment with an amazing support system. Eventually, I began taking taekwondo classes and the coaches are amazing and patient. They really care about all of their students and not just about their progress in martial arts but in all aspects.

The summit has been GREAT for our four year old. His pre-k was postponed so we entered him in the pre k camp at the summit. He has never been anywhere but home due to me owning an in home daycare and I was super nervous to send him, but he loves his friends and all of his coaches. The communication is also EXCELLENT and that makes me feel comfortable sending him there all day. They really take the time to know your child and your family and connect with each one of you. We plan to keep him here until his school opens up and then also possibly in the summer. They are teaching him his pre-k curriculum as well as listening skills and manners! He says yes ma’am and yes sir and he is getting better at following instructions. We love this team of coaches like family and wouldn’t put our dude anywhere else!! Chantal is their director and I highly recommend getting ahold of her to enroll your kiddo, you won’t have regrets!

I enjoyed my time, although it was short I loved it. I play competitive softball, that takes up all my free time. If I didn’t play softball I would definitely be at classes lol the time. I love The Summit! The staff is amazing! My favorite is Mrs. Tara and Mrs. Moriah! If you want to change your outlook on yourself, and life join The Summit family!!!

TSMA is truly the best!! Fantastic facility, with even better staff!! Enrolled my 7 year old son in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class and it has been an amazing experience since day 1!! The coaches are amazing and extremely patient with kids that have no martial arts experience! Would highly recommend TSMA to anyone looking for a martial arts gym!!

We have been coming to TSMA for 2 years now and we have had the best experience! My daughter has learned so much to protecting her self, how to be respectful and not to tolerate bullies! This company is family oriented and has the up most respect for our Frontline workers, Military and Schools. A great asset to our community and for that we are so greatful! The after school program and camps they have are amazing and the coaches are caring and super fun! We as a community will be forever greatful for all you do for our babies. Keep up the amazing work!

As a parent, finding a suitable extracurricular activity for my children is a priority. After discovering TSMA's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, I can confidently say it has been a transformative experience for my children and me. This review aims to highlight the numerous ways in which this program has positively impacted us, as well as acknowledge the outstanding guidance and support provided by Tara. Engaging and Empowering Experience: TSMA's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program offers an engaging and empowering experience for individuals of all ages and skill levels. The focus on discipline, self-defense, and physical fitness creates a well-rounded environment that fosters personal growth. My children, who initially lacked self-confidence, have blossomed into more assertive and resilient individuals through participating in this program. Likewise, I have witnessed a significant improvement in my own physical fitness and mental well-being. One of the most remarkable aspects of our experience at TSMA has been the exceptional experience provided by Tara. Tara creates a supportive and inclusive environment where students feel comfortable pushing their boundaries and exploring their capabilities. Tara consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everyone receives the guidance they need. Personalized Attention and Progression: One aspect of TSMA's program that sets it apart is the emphasis on personalized attention and progression. Tara takes the time to understand each student's unique strengths, weaknesses, and goals and works with each coach to ensure proper instruction based on the student's needs. This individualized approach has allowed my children to progress significantly in their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey. From mastering fundamental techniques to more advanced maneuvers, we have felt supported every step of the way. Community and Lifelong Connections: TSMA's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program goes beyond just instruction; it fosters community and camaraderie among its members. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere created by Tara and the entire TSMA team encourages teamwork and collaboration. We have had the pleasure of meeting like-minded individuals who share our passion for martial arts, resulting in lifelong connections and friendships. Conclusion: TSMA's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program has been an exceptional experience for my children and me. Its impact on our physical fitness, self-confidence, and overall well-being is genuinely remarkable. With Tara's outstanding guidance and support, we have navigated this program quickly and enthusiastically. If you are looking for a transformative experience that combines discipline, self-defense, and personal growth, I wholeheartedly recommend TSMA's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program.

I happened to stumble on to the TSMA group through a FB post, in summer 2021. To tell you how amazing they are, would take pages. The programs they offer outside of the summer camp, are on point! The Coach to Student ratio is great, and there's never a shortage of fun. Structure, discipline, and encouragement are just a few of the things they provide. We definitely love it!
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
My boys have participated in Jiu Jitsu and Martial Arts classes since December 2020 at TSMA, and they love it there. All of the coaches have made their experience fun as well as educational. My older at child attended the virtual school program in the spring and the coaches were wonderful about communicating and making sure he worked on his school work. Both of my kids attended the summer camp program and loved that as well. I loved knowing they were staying active and having fun off of electronics each day! Thanks for everything, TSMA!
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
We were overwhelmed by the staff at TSMA from day 1. Our daughter found her passion here. The coaches are encouraging, friendly and fun. We love the family feel! I cannot say enough good things about TSMA. 😊
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
I started out looking at Bjj classes. I knew I didn’t want something that was militant but inclusive. I joined up at TSMA for the family and friendships. They’re very understanding and great with communication. The TSMA family FB group is a great perk to have. Being able to see coach spread his positive message in different communities is great!
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
TSMA is a great place for both kids and adults to train! Our whole family has been going for over 2 years. The staff and coaches are awesome! It really feels like we are apart of a family!
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
Very clean facility and I can’t say enough about the staff. Caring, honest and dedicated staff. Even though she is unable to attend due to the pandemic they have came up with many clever ways to stay in touch and give these kids daily activities. LOVE this place

After moving from Colorado and coming to a new state, we consider TSMA family. They have welcomed us with open arms. My whole family enjoys going to class and all the activities outside of training. My 8 and 6 year old have learned so much from the coaches and they are a great support system. I have also started the adult Martial arts and Jiu-Jitsu class and am loving it. It is so challenging and I am continuing to learn. All the people I train with, I would consider my friends and look forward to it as much as possible. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
The people at TSMA are enthusiastic, caring, and attentive to children. I feel like they go above and beyond helping my daughter learn and grow. She has so much fun there with her friends too!
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
Such a great school for kids and adults with experienced and professional teachers. They do a great job teaching kids to learn respect and how to defend themselves with honor. Chaz and professor Flores do a great job teaching at a pace every Individual will understand.

My daughter has been going for almost 10 months. The coaches and staff are absolutely amazing! We’re so happy to be a part of the TSMA family.

TSMA is great! The coaches and members are friendly and encouraging. I was nervous to join a martial arts class, especially at my age, but going to TSMA has been a wonderful experience. I’ve learned so much and I’ve had a lot of fun doing it.
![google](https://tsmaokc.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-social-reviews/assets/images/icon/icon-google-small.png)
My daughter loves TSMA ! They are so kind and made us feel welcomed and made me feel comfortable right away . I have never had an after school program pick my child up from school so I was very nervous since I’ve always picked her up. But they were awesome enough to send me pictures when she was picked up AND when she arrived at their facility. 10/10 recommend !

The people slamming this business obviously didn’t spend any time getting to know Mr. Jackson, the owner of Summit. He cares deeply about his students and his staff and will do anything to make sure they are taken care of. The team at Summit are not only well trained but are there because they believe in the program and system Mr. Jackson has put in place. Your child will be in great hands with this team and you won’t regret it. I recommend anyone thinking about enrolling their child in a program like this to check it out for yourself and see first hand how this will benefit you and your family. Don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself.
