It allowed me to get an extra hour of a workout in during the week and now I'm hooked! Krav is a real world self-defense that makes me feel strong and prepares me for real life situations. ASD also offers many other classes and so many talented instructors! Coach Shayne has been a big influence on myself and my husband. He continues to help us learn proper fighting techniques. Andrea is an awesome coach who continues to amaze us! Amit, Troy, Chris, Sergey, Marziya, and Jason have all taught me so much in Krav. Ilya's Hyrox and Fighter Flow classes are fun and a great workout! He also has a cook book that explains easy and healthy recipes! Manny's Boot Camp/kickboxing classes are always intense and will leave you sore. James' DEKA class was creative, hard and definitely worth a try! My son has enjoyed the Kids Krav classes....thank you James, Andrea, Anh and Marziya for teaching the big group of kids! I love watching him come home and practice and share what he learned. We often compare what we are all doing in class during the week. I can't forget Neal, the owner! And Carrie at the front desk! They always make us feel welcome and at home! I joined the Locked In For Summer Challenge that they organized at ASD. It has helped me stay focused on my nutrition and fitness goals. And has helped me meet some new friends! Overall, ASD is a super special place. I'm so glad my family found it and I'd recommend it to anyone interested!

These guys are practicing COVID-19 safety guidelines including mandating masks the entire session and having kids hand sanitize right at the entrance. The space is relatively spacious allowing the kids to run around prior to class starting. Lots of energy and very lively. My nephew speaks very highly of the instructors and class sessions (in-person and via zoom respectively).

Needless to say, they have been very happy with their decisions since. They enjoy the strict and structured learning environment that sets high expectations for them to achieve. Respect emanates in this environment as everyone greets one another with a customary bow of acknowledgment. While the masters are firm, they are also very supportive and fun. My girls start each class with seriousness but leave with light hearted smiles. It's been over a year now and my once weak daughters have developed not only tight muscles but also a strong sense of self confidence; thanks to the rigor of each lesson. Seeing my fragile girls accomplishing challenging, powerful moves makes me cringe but also feel impressed. Thank you to the passionate and professional masters at Choi's for instilling the love for martial arts in my girls. It is now an element of their identity. Unlike many other martial art schools, I like the authentic feel of Choi's dojang. They are not commercialized. They don't try to sell you anything or talk you into signing long term contracts to trap you in. Some other places I've encountered, they pressure you with gimmicks like a limited time promotion or try to sell you merchandise. There are no salesman here, just genuine martial artists who wants to share their expertise with those whom are interested in practicing this form. I would definitely recommend Choi's Tae Kwon Do to anyone that is looking for a quality and valuable enrichment.

The instructors are all wonderful with kids, especially those who are shy or have trouble focusing. They always manage to engage every child and make learning fun, structured, and encouraging. We especially love Master Kim--he's amazing with the little ones, so gentle, patient, and kind. His calm and caring approach helps the kids feel comfortable and confident right away. We truly hope he doesn't leave California! Mr. Carter, both Ms. Mathews, Ms. Lum, Ms. Espinoza, and the Mason twins (Mr. and Ms. Mason) are equally fantastic. Each of them brings great energy, enthusiasm, and positivity to every class. You can really see how much they care about helping every student grow, both in skill and character. We're so grateful to be part of the World Class Tae kwon do family and can't recommend this school highly enough!

I stumbled across Ascend Muay Thai on Yelp and sent them an email to inquire about their intro classes. Coach Jackie responded to me in less than 30 minutes with the pricing and class information. She was super friendly over email, which made me feel better about trying a fairly intimidating new hobby at 27 lol. It has now been about a month since I started attending the intro class, and I wanted to write about my positive experience here. This is a family owned gym that cultivates a welcoming environment. All of the coaches are passionate and knowledgeable about the sport. Also, not only am I learning a lot, but it's also a KILLER workout!!! I genuinely look forward to coming here 2x a week I would highly recommend coming here if you're interested in learning more about Muay Thai!

My partner was Mark,he was knowledgeable and fun to work with. I live and train in Las Vegas,but try to hit local gyms when I travel. I have been to over a dozen across the country,and Ascend will definitely be my home away from home while visiting South Bay Area.
