"Our 10 year old was looking for a new activity and had tried a few various forms of martial arts. Rapadura was by far his (and our) favorite experience due to the care and friendliness not only of Coach Leo and family, but from all other students young and old, novice and experienced. It has been 6 months, the Rapadura family has grown, and so has our kids' confidence and skills. The training, teaching, and knowledge is top tier rivaling any other gym. What is most apparent and sets Rapadura apart is the care that all give for every student to develop their growth not only in the art, but also as an individual." ~ Josh F.
