A truly amazing martial arts school. Sirotas alchymy does not only teach you martial arts but also many life skills. Every thing I have learned at the alchymy has positively effected all areas of my life; from physical ability in other sports to focus in school to increasing my self confidence. In my years of attending the alchymy I have seen many kids overcome their fears and challenges. The high instructor to student ration allows the staff to attend to each child's personal needs and the large facilities allow for unique classes every day.
