"I could not write enough positives about my experience at the studio.  The instructors are professional and courteous, as well as being phenomenal teachers.  My son (8 years old) has been attending for almost a year and he is always excited to go to classes, private lessons, and the special events at the studio.  Thank you so much for all you do."

"There is a lot I want to say about the Dojo here in Sandy and I am going to attempt to say it in just a few sentences.  The Instructors are very skilled and PATIENT which is what I need. I have enjoyed every moment with this group of people and am looking forward to many more years of training next to such good people."

"Level Up Martial Arts in Sandy, has the greatest instructors you will ever find. They will teach you how to defend yourself in every situation. They have taught me so much in such little time. Sensei Brandon, has a great way with children AND adults to help you understand what he's teaching and how to do it. I definitely recommend them for anyone who is looking into self-defense, martial arts or just boosting their confidence. Head in there and try it out for yourself, I guarantee you'll love it"

-Natalie Harris

"Great Senseis, great people, great place to be! Level Up is fun and engaging, and it will push you to do and be better than you think you can be."

-Jacqueline Lee

"Best investment we made for our son.  He's attended this dojo soon after this location opened. He has strong leadership skills at school, great grades, and respect with everyone he encounters. We directly attribute to the Senseis that have been with him all along in his journey. We highly recommend."
