We absolutely love it here! Our 4-year-old has gained so much confidence while learning self-control and respect. Sensei Jeanette is incredible with children—patient, encouraging, and truly invested in their growth. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend this program!

My granddaughter started attending here and I have to say it's been pretty amazing so far. She's only had a few lessons, at this point four plus a group class, she's 4½yrs old, and we can already see a positive difference in the way she handles her emotions. It's a very positive experience for her both emotionally and physically. She's always excited to go back and do it again and really likes Sensei Jeannette. I really can't say enough positive things about what we've experienced and the wonderful energy that hits you when you enter her Dojo. Her teachings and techniques will enlighten you both mentally and physically. If you're considering personal improvement/enlightenment, I would suggest starting here.

I am proud to be a member of 8 Hands Martial Arts, and I have had the greatest experience here. I did not have a prior martial arts background and was unsure of what to expect, but my experience has definitely surpassed my expectations. I have been going for about 5 months now and have noticed a vast increase in my strength, endurance, and mental fortitude. My memory, confidence, and public speaking have also improved in my career and everyday life. The instructors and fellow students are all friendly and encouraging. This is a great community to be a part of and I look forward to going to every class. The instructors are very patient and will alter their teaching methods to match your individual learning style. It is very apparent the experience and knowledge that the instructors have in martial arts. I have learned many different blocks, attacks, kicks, combos, and techniques, and look forward to learning so much more. This training has also helped heal my posture, flexibility, and mobility from previous injuries. I definitely recommend trying 8 Hands Martial Arts to anyone who has ever considered learning martial arts.

I’ve been immensely enjoying my reengagement with martial arts due to Qi-House. Flexible hours and 1-on 1 options are working great for my busy musician lifestyle.

I find the Neurohacking classes both helpful and challenging. There's always something to learn. The system is dynamic, expansive, and deep. Over time a person can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, others, and the situations around them. This applies to personal, social, business, and more. Jeannette is a wonderful teacher who is personable and incredibly knowledgeable. She takes the time to explain things in detail and answer everyone's questions. For anyone looking to learn and grow, I wholeheartedly recommend getting involved in these classes. Wishing you the best on your life journey!
