The place is the bomb! great people.. they have this little person that stands at the desk and greets you, her name is maggie haha but she has a massive heart, and the place isn't a team, its a family, full of great people that love to fight and train themselves to the limit, thanks to the family down there at IMC for helping me out at my lowest and congratulating me at my highest

Michelle C.

The staff at Busby IMC are professional and friendly. Our daughter loves her classes and constantly talks about karate to all her friends and family. She recently achieved her first yellow belt and I think this is a day we will remember for a long time. Very special. We especially love the leadership programs they offer to students. The instructors are very talented and clearly have a love for the sport they teach and they inspire this in their students.
