We enrolled our daughter in martial arts to teach her discipline and provide physical activity, but having been with Ben as lead instructor for a number of years, she has learned so much more than that. Along with his other amazing instructors, Ben has taught her strength of character and confidence beyond measure. Having the opportunity to help younger students in class has taught her about giving back and being a better person. While discipline is a main part of the program, students are taught this in a respectful way that allows them to have fun with Ben and his instructors. It’s a pleasure to watch the classes.

We first enrolled our daughter at Rogue in 2021 at the age 5. She immediately felt comfortable with Mr. Crane and Mr. O'Reilly. In 2 years under the instruction of Mr. Crane she has achieved the rank of green belt. The patience shown by all instructors is fantastic and they truly care about their students reaching their goals. The discipline and self control taught by the instructors really carries over into everyday life. All the positive reinforcement our daughter receives during taekwondo classes has given a huge boost in confidence and determination. The welcoming atmosphere makes Rogue a great place for anyone looking to learn martial arts!

Being the first female enrolled in my class and having no previous experience with any form of martial art, I joined Ben’s academy with some hesitation that it would be a good fit for me. After a few classes, Ben’s knowledge and dedication to the sport were obvious as was his love to share that with his students. I felt at ease to ask for help and his positive and witty disposition were paramount in helping me persevere. The welcoming and fun atmosphere along with his vision for the academy allows students of all skill levels and interests to find success.

Martial arts with instructor Ben Crane has been everything I wished for and more. I have been training with Ben now for over a year and his approach has remained patient, informative and very welcoming. Ben takes the time to listen to all of my questions and really educated me on what was being taught. Every class is a workout and I appreciate the mixture of disciplines that he incorporates into his sessions. I can’t imagine any instructor being any more tuned in to the individual needs of his students. I highly recommend joining Ben’s classes for that refreshing mixture of laughter, patience and really challenging yourself to improve at your own personal pace.

My two children (almost 5 and 8) have been practicing under Mr. Crane, and supporting staff, since 2018. Over the past couple of years, I have watched both of them learn about determination, discipline, courtesy, and become even more well-rounded little people. They have learned a great deal in the time they've had so far, and continue to thrive because of the wonderful instruction they receive from the instructors at Rogue. They thoroughly enjoy their time in the dojo.
It is an inclusive, supportive, positive, motivating atmosphere, and we love being a part of this martial arts family.
