I visited this academy on a work trip and was looking for a place to stay active while on the road. They were very inviting and friendly. The students were all very welcoming and the rolls were friendly, yet with sound training and I could tell this was a solid academy with great instructors. I hope to be back on my next visit and encourage anyone to try this place out if you are in the area.
