Testimonials
Leadership Academy brings together an incredible balance of fitness, family, friendship, and fun! Our family started Jiu Jitsu together in private lessons about 5 years ago. From the beginning, Mr. and Mrs. Engels have been passionate and patient instructors who genuinely care about the well-being of their students. Together, along with their children, they provide a safe, healthy environment where children, adults and families learn self-defense, develop confidence and build friendships all while having a whole lot of fun! There are also opportunities for students to be involved in the community through volunteering and other various support projects. Thank you for being two of our children’s greatest mentors. They are learning many life lessons to be used both on and off the mats. You are appreciated beyond measure!
Our family has been a part of Leadership Academy for 8 years. Mr. and Mrs. Engels are superior in providing coaching in martial arts and fitness, but that’s only the beginning. Leadership Academy has helped teach my daughter to be respectful, strong, confident, and positive. Leadership Academy is successful through coaching, volunteering, and a goal to improve overall well-being. Mr. and Mrs. Engels are not only committed to each student, but they also commit to each student’s family. Anyone would feel welcomed here!
Luke has been coming to leadership since he was 4 years old he is now almost 8. He loves going to class and working with his classmates. I have watched his confidence grow over the years. I’m so great full for the whole Engel’s family. His determination to learn new things makes me so happy that we joined the leadership family!! To watch the excitement on his face when he learns something new or gains more confidence in a move or a kick makes me so happy. Thank you for what you all do to make that happen! We are very grateful for Leadership academy.
With the guidance of Mr Gary Engels and three helpful children, our son Alex has shown growth in his abilities and attitude since joining Tae Kwon Do. Mrs Nikki Engels has been so helpful with any questions we have and I really enjoyed taking her yoga class. The whole family works together to make the place feel welcoming and serene.
I first started coming to the leadership Academy to learn royce gracie jiu-jitsu and stay in shape, but I never expected my life would change completely in such a positive way. I used to have severe anxiety and anger issues but my commitment to the training and lifestyle that Gary promotes has given me so much courage, Confidence, and control over my emotions. I’ve spent years in anger management with little results, but this jiu-jitsu program by far has been the greatest therapy for me personally and I constantly encourage others like myself to join the academy for this very reason; attending this school has also given me life changing opportunities and I’ve met some incredibly powerful people just by association with the program. All together walking through these doors has been one of the greatest decisions I ever made, My only regret was not doing it sooner
