You can always tell he loves what he teaches. The students pay a fixed fee. The good thing is they can come as many times during the week as they want to. Sensei Doan explains how each body shift, arm and leg movement, block, strike, kick in each kata can be used in practical ways. He analyzes kata and extracts fighting techniques from the movements of a "form" (kata). My kids get excited to see how they can apply the techniques they learn in the Katas. They look forward to attend these special sessions of the week. One thing I like about this Dojo is all students come here to learn. Sensei Doan always emphasizes how important it is for each student to concentrate on the lessons and improve his or her techniques to the next level. He teaches his students to respect themselves to earn the respect from others. As they achieve each level of the belt rank , they improve not only their Karate techniques but also develop their personal characters accordingly. We believe this dojo is one of the top notch Karate dojos in this local area. If you are serious about learning Karate or Self Defense techniques, we definitely recommend you to check out this Japan Martial Arts Center (Japan Karate-Do Judo Jujitsu). You wont be disappointed!

Coach Nolan is an amazing striking coach and he will elevate your striking to the highest levels. The jiu jitsu programs are awesome. In terms of culture, the people and coaches create an environment where you can thrive. It's fun to be there and it caters to any level. If you're a first timer, you'll get taken care of. If you aspire to fight at the highest levels, you'll have coaches and talent to support you. I've made life long friends at this gym, and I'm thankful for it. Now the value... some gyms pin you down with 4 sessions a week or just 1 martial art. At this gym, you get unlimited classes to Gi BJJ, NoGi BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Wrestling, fitness. There's also a recovery room with things like red light therapy, massage boots, vibration plate, sauna, cold plunge, hyperbaric chamber. There's showers, lockers, and there's a coffee bar. Not to mention, a weight training area. So yea, you get way more bang for your buck. Also, if you're looking to fellowship, there's a weekly Bible study on Thursday nights. Open to anyone. I sound biased. And I am. But it's because of my experience at this gym.

The coaches are always so encouraging and proud of the kids!

The instructors are patient and engaging with the kids. They know when to teach the kids, let them have fun, and give them tough love at the same time. My son's confidence has grown so much since taking classes here. He isn't shy at school when they ask him to speak bc the instructors at Tom Vo constantly teach the kids to be confident and strong leaders. My son lets his little sister do things first because Tom Vo classes teaches the importance of the gentlemen letting the ladies go first.

He is now a candidate belt, training for his black belt. Hands down, Tom Vo's program is the most effective, reliable, consistent, and challenging among the dojos I've heard about from other parents. Simply put, Tom Vo's program is incomparable. ALL the masters, leadership are amazing! They exemplify what you would want to see in a leader and a mentor! The kids are introduced to the program in a way that allows them to level up as they take on increasingly challenging activities. The gradual progression is truly something to witness and be a part of. One of the greatest benefits of this program is that kids and parents alike can see different levels of skills to aspire to. The philosophy of "training makes perfect" and pushing through challenges is a valuable lesson that is constantly reinforced. That said, these benefits don't come easy--just like anything worthwhile in life. It takes hard work, discipline, and consistency. There is a commitment required from the students and guidance expected from the parents. We are truly grateful for the dedication and effort the masters put into working with the students. I love seeing my little one grow and take ownership of both the small and big things in life. The experiences that our little one goes through in this program such as tournament, belt testing, intense black belt camp, leading warm-up in class and everyday interactions with other kids in different walks of life are opportunities to have unique and valuable conversations that no other environment can offer. Tom Vo Tae Kwon Do gives these kids a better chance and a greater opportunity to succeed in life.

There is a kiddie area for small and young children. They DO NOT allow outside food or drinks except water! There is a small shop that sells misc. items, snacks & drinks (overpriced). They also had a foodtruck inside that was expensive and the meals didn't come with drinks. They do have plenty of staff and lifeguards there. The entrance fee should of been $15-20.

My kids l, and crazily enough, myself and I have loved the way the program is created and conducted for the students to be taught martial arts here at this dojo! If you're a parent like me, who wants their kid to be taught self defense but still very weary about the actual tournaments/sparring/etc say no more what I love about MAI is that all the senseis here have actual skills plus HEARTS! they hear us parents our with our annoying concerns and talk to our kids and build confidence, focus on building each skill-set, and not create competitive edge where it causes tension amongst the kids but camaraderie and real life skill sets on how to defend one's self in situations (which even I watch to pickup some moves haha). Now, keep in mind kids will be kids and you do have some sparring days that can be jarring, but again the senseis have all been there to be super supportive to make sure everyone feels safe! Besides regular lessons, they have awesome special field trip days, special ninja nights, and other fun activities! Highly recommend this dojo!

At first I was hesitant since about 10 years ago, I attended a trial week at a different bjj school and just felt bullied and turned off to continuing. But since day one at Ease, I've never encountered any egos and every single person that I've trained with has been helpful in showing me small ways to improve in various positions. It's a culture that I immediately appreciated considering my past experience. Since I'm starting at age 31, my biggest regret is not finding the right school like Ease earlier in life. Professor Ian is so effective at breaking down moves and concepts appropriately for both kids and adults. As a teacher myself, it's clear that he has solid pedagogical practices that make learning engaging for students of all ages and abilities.
