Arashi-Do Martial Arts

My son joined Mini Monkeys about two years ago and he really is enjoying it. Professor Lane has a great way with the kids and knows when to nurture and when to encourage them to learn.After seeing the kids classes for a few weeks, I decided to try the adult class and it’s been a great experience. Arashi Do Behring Jiu Jitsu is now a part of our family’s life and we feel very welcome by everyone at the Mayfield West dojo.

I've went to a few different gyms to try out and decided to join this one because of the instructors and fellow members.Everyone was so welcoming, encouraging, and willing to teach me.Professor Lane is so patient and knowledgeable, such an amazing teacher and mentor.Highly recommend you join and you'll fall in love with this place like I have.

I first started at Arashi-do under their MMA program and later switched to the BJJ and Muay Thai programs. Arashi-do and Professor Lane in particular have been a significant factor in assisting me in reaching several important goals inside and outside of the dojo. The skills and confidence that has come with those have helped me overcome mental and physical challenges that would have been otherwise very challenging. The cirriculum of both BJJ and Muay Thai translates well into a real world self defense situation. With this being said I have only ever heard the instructors advocate leaving a situation before it comes to blows.The instructors will work with anyone to reach their specific goals. Their timelines make sense and are made with safety in mind. Whether for conditioning or preparing for a higher level fight or just to meet new people, Professor Lane and his instructors are able to work with anyone who has a willing and teachable attitude.Beyond what is taught I have always found that Professor Lane and his staff genuinely care about the wellbeing of their students. They once heard in the news that a member of my profession had lost their life and Professor Lane took the time to privately ask me how I was handling the news. This outreach meant more than any other class I had had in my time at Arashi-do and it was my impression that they did it because the coaches see beyond the gym membership and truly wish to help all of their students be better and get through any difficulty that life brings forward.

I've started taking muay thai classes here and I would definitely recommend them. The instructors are knowledgeable and very good at explaining the techniques, and pay close attention to each student. The class itself is not only good for learning the techniques, its also an amazing cardio workout, even if you have no desire to actually fight someday. And they are doing a wonderful job of adhering to social distancing/mask rules. If you are a new or experienced martial artist looking for a great place to train, check it out!

Absolutely was sold on my first experience there with my 9 year old daughter. In short amount of time we were there on our first visit I seen improvements and growth in my little one. Lane made me feel comfortable, and made me feel like my kid is part of something great !

Amazing positive atmosphere and instructors!I never write reviews.. but my kido has gained so much from this place it's only fair they get the recognition they truly deserve. Professor Lane and all of the instructors welcomed our family with open arms and still continue to show us so much positivity and support years later.I cannot thank all the instructors enough at Arashi Do Mayfield. Keep being amazing!

The owner and instructors in this place are very positive and energetic. The whole environment here is happy and calm. My son loves coming here and they have done a great job of making him welcome and improved his focus. The facility is incredibly clean and they follow all the hygiene and safety protocols. I am writing a review because I found them from reading reviews and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to give confidence and focus to their kids.

As a parent I highly recommend this place for children. My son Victor has been training in the Arashi-do Mayfield for more than 3 years now, and he absolutely loves it. This is his most favorable activity! The instructors are awesome. And to name a few, Professor Lane, coach Carlos, Coach Shawn, Coach Tin are absolutely amazing. We tried a few other place for martial arts before joining this place, and among all the places we tried, this one really stands out as the best. And our three-years + experience has proved that. Not only they are strong in technical training, they are also very good at teaching kids a lot of important things in life: discipline, being kind, fair play and a lot more. And equally important, the coaches are very kid and caring towards the kids, and I can tell that they actually care a lot about the training, growth and well-being of the kids in their program. I am so happy about this program, and have been recommending it to my friends. It's definitely one of the best decisions i have made in terms of my son's extra-curriculum activities! So a big shout-out and thank you to all the coaches at Arashi-do Mayfield! You guys are awesome!

This studio is so welcoming. Both Professor Lane and Coach John made me daughter feel so comfortable she wishes she could go to Jiu Jitzu everyday. The building is clean and inviting. The payment process is fast and easy. There is a viewing area for you to watch the class. The coaches are just silly enough to keep the kids attention but also strict enough that they listen and respect the learning time. They have so much fun while gaining useful skills that I can already see is building my 8 year old daughters confidence!

My son started mini monkey classes in January, and I cannot say enough good things about the program! Professor Lane and all the instructors are amazing at keeping the kids attention, motivating and teaching techniques in a fun and relatable way for the little ones.I have definitely seen a difference in my sons confidence, fitness level, resilience and attention span since beginning. I highly recommend this dojo!The facility is bright, open and clean with change rooms and lots of space. I really appreciate the bleachers for parents to watch.Since Covid, we have been attending online classes. The care and passion for the sport from the instructors is still evident through the screen.We hope to begin in person classes again soon, after speaking and have the upmost confidence in the safety steps they are taking to keep everyone safe.
