The Ultimate School For Martial Arts & Jiu Jitsu Training

My daughter goes here and she absolutely loves it! The confidence that has come from her since she started is amazing! Sensai Allison is an incredible teacher!! We love coming here

I've been at TMA for approx. 4 years now. I started with women's kickboxing. Such a fun class! I love the comradery and being with other women who enjoy fitness. A couple years ago I started with Jiu Jitsu and absolutely LOVE it! Physically and mentally challenging! Honestly I feel more confident in being able to handle myself if I was ever in an altercation. Honestly, I feel TMA are my people. I have a great relationship with the owners and appreciate their time and effort they give with their students. I hope continue practicing here for as long as I can!

I have been training at Thurston Martial Arts for many years now, and I cannot say enough positive things about their offerings. Alison is phenomenal and has challenged me to become my best self - both physically and mentally. I not only work hard and push myself while there, but I have made lifelong connections with others, making it so fun and enjoyable to be there. I highly recommend this place!

Both my son and daughter have been enrolled for 3+ years. We started out at the Kingston dojo, but unfortunately it had to shut down for reasons out of their control. Sensei Alison is very professional and a pleasure to speak to. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dojo.

Dedicated to giving you the best martial arts experience. Sensei Joe Thurston and all of his instructors are committed to martial arts as a total way of life. If you are interested, young or not so young - this it the place to try out. You will not be disappointed, unless of course you want to go to one of those Dojo's that you can order up the belt of your choice. Here you will earn it, and be proud of it.

Dedicated instruction and a high energy atmosphere is what they offer here. The dojos are spacious and full of training equipment, which is constantly being updated for our use. A family friendly environment for students of all ages that have the desire and commitment to learn Martial Arts.

LOVE this place -- and the Thurstons. I get an excellent work-out in a respectful, fun, and always encouraging environment. I also love watching them work with kids -- and hope to get a chance to let my grandkids experience this. They are always so encouraging -- to children and adults (even to an overweight 60 year old like me). I love the way they teach the kids not only to try new things and build new strength and skills but also to be courteous, respectful, and kind -- supporting one another as they train together. I also like that they ask parents to be courteous to the staff, students, and other parents. High expectations create a pleasant atmosphere for all.

I have been training with Thurston Academy for over 6 years now and I only have positive words to say... Not only is the dojo very clean, spacious and has state of the art training equipment, the whole atmosphere is open and inviting. They have become family over the past few years and I am proud to associated myself with them. I am heavily involved with their classes and have always left with a smile on my face. The programs range for all ages and the instructors do their best to cater to everyone's individual needs. It's always engaging, fun, challenging (in a good way!) and has a deep lineage from Okinawa Japan. Again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dojo for any one who is interested in not only working out their body but also their mind and spirit!

Hi, I've been training at Thurston academy for 9 years now. I was a high school wrestler and a strength and conditioning coach. I was looking for something to help keep me in shape and to learn some self defense skills. I have found so much more than that at Thurston academy. I got into great shape and developed crucial self defense skills while boosting my confidence and self discipline but most importantly at Thurston academy I've found a family. I would highly recommend this martial arts school to everyone and anyone. Atmosphere is friendly but competitive. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and kind and establishment is clean and professional.

This place is great! I can't say enough about how much this place has helped me be mentally and physically stronger. Kickboxing with Alison and fight night with Joe have seriously changed my life for the best.

You won't find a better place to train than Thurston Martial Arts! All their programs are amazing and will help you transform into a more disciplined, knowledgeable, spiritual, and physical you. I love my Dojo family!

I've been at Thurston for a little over a year now and I cannot imagine my life without it!! Alison is an amazing instructor who cares for her students as well as kicks your butt!! Kickboxing is not only the best workout I've had but have met the most amazing people! I highly recommend any of the classes at Thurston, the instructors are incredible!
