She continued to attend the class for a little over a year until this pandemic and also was able to join two tournaments.

  Updating to reflect changes during COVID. This programs continues to shine! We are very conservative parents when it comes to COVID precautions: stay-at-home when possible, wear masks, frequently washing hands,... read more etc. That being said we are extremely impressed with all of the precautions Kristen and her team have taken to operate safe and effective classes and feel very comfortable with our son's participation. Temperature checks are administered at the door. Each student receives hand sanitizer upon arrival. All coaches are in masks and gloves as well as students, if able. Students are directed to a personal spot on the mat in order to enforce social distancing. All equipment - mats, pads, balls - are sanitized before and after each use. In place of sparring, Kristen is teaching Kung Fu via different animals, which they love! And she sends YouTube videos so our son can continue practicing throughout the week (huge source of enjoyment for him!) and comes to class confident, excited, and prepared.

Couldn't recommend this program more!

We were told at typical BJJ and Martial Art gyms that he was too over active and his behaviors were too disruptive to the class. Not the case at Unlimited Possibilities they see the child not the disability or behaviors. We appreciate the no nonsense approach while still believing in the ability of our child to do the work. We have also seen carry over in finishing tasks that were normally to difficult and seeing the pride he has in himself once he is finished. We are lucky to be part of the Unlimited Possibilities family.
