Clifton is a small town southwest of us, and we get a handful of dedicated families who make the drive in. There's definitely no Kaizen in Clifton. The academy is in Fairfax City on University Drive, about 15 minutes northeast, and this page is the honest version of the distance and what's taught here.
Clifton is tiny and rural by Fairfax County standards, so there's essentially nothing local for serious martial arts. Families who want their kid actually learning to grapple and strike already drive out for most activities, and they come to us for full-time coaches teaching real BJJ, Muay Thai, and wrestling, with kids split by age.
