From the reviews
One of the best, if not, the best martial arts school out there! I have been with A.P.S.K for almost 4 years now (10/30/17). I am a 1st degree brown belt and about to test for my black belt in December. When I started at 17 I never thought I ever could do anything that these guys where doing.
It would be impossible to count the ways that Professor Shaw and the fine instructors at APSK have impacted my family for the better. In the interest of time, I’ll just mention a few of the things I’m most grateful for. My boys began their martial arts journey 4 days after my youngest son’s 3rd birthday.
2 years ago I decided it was time for my daughter to learn self defense. Having studied Kenpo, TKD and Aikido from a young age and also being a US Marine I knew what I was looking for (she won’t let me train her...yet lol).
APSK has given my youngest son a gift my Husband and I could not give him. APSK has given my son a sense of pride, focus, success, and self-esteem. I can honestly say if I had not made the decision for my son to attend APSK he would not be the wonderful 13 year old young man he is today.
Your first BJJ class at APSK Martial Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
