I’ve been taking classes at Katalyst for a little over a month now, and I’m definitely glad I made the decision to join. I don’t have much of a background in martial arts, but I can see that there’s something to offer here for both experienced and inexperienced people. The coaches are all very professional and knowledgeable- David clearly knows what he is doing and has done a good job of building a positive environment to train in. I look forward to continuing my training hereTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely incredible facility and instructors. In just a month of hard work, I already feel so much more comfortable, self-confident, and knowledgeable. I couldn’t recommend Katalyst and this fabulous team of people moreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with David for over a year. Not only has the community been such a blessing to me, but the training itself has improved my self-confidence, posture, and overall mentality towards life. I believe this is due to David & Sara’s values when running their business. For instance, classes include more than martial arts defensive tactics; they include self-awareness, situational awareness, “Stop the Bleed” courses, team building, Virginia’s laws around self-defense, and basic anatomy. He values ensuring students understand the “why” behind what he does. During our class recap, he explains his methods of teaching and how his personal learning experiences contribute to who he is as an instructor and what he teaches in the gym. I’m so thankful for the community and instructors at Katalyst!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started at Katalyst a little over a year and half ago with martial arts experience. From the very first day I felt welcomed and challenged to push my limits. David is a top notch very knowledgeable instructor who takes an individualised approach with each and every student with years of experience as well as his coaching assistants. Katalyst is home to people of all ages, backrounds and skill levels. I also like how the classes include beginners and advanced students to share knowledge! In the time I've spent I have not only benifited physically but mentally as well gaining experience and confidence. Weather you are an absolute beginner or an experienced martial artist and self defense practitioner this is the place to be! Much love❤️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I are new, and we are enjoying our classes so far. We are learning a lot and we look forward to our next class. Everyone is very friendly and very welcoming.Load more
