We've been attending All-Star Martial Arts for over 4 years and it has been an incredible experience for our son. We wanted it to be his Homeschool P.E. program, but it's been so much more than that to him and our family. He's gained confidence, strength, good self-esteem, maturity, discipline, friends and a knowing that he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to. He attends both the homeschooling classes during the day and the regular evening classes. Most classes I've seen have no more than 25-30 students. Each class begins with the students stating the Tenants of TKD, they do warm-ups for 10 minutes, if not longer. They work on forms, kicking drills, punches, stances, etc., with instruction from their instructors. They break out into groups by belt level so they can work on their forms together. More advanced students will sometimes work with the newer students (as training for them to teach) or an instructor will work with the new students. Some days they do games to work on techniques. The instructors usually talk to the kids at the end of their session about life lessons and values. And, they end each session with the Pledge of Allegiance. Following the regular class is the black belt class for higher level belts where they work on their weapons and forms. Our son earned his black belt last June and has competed in numerous competitions with other dojo's around the area. He has received 1st or 2nd in every event he has entered, so I know he's been taught the correct way to perform and compete in TKD. He is now working towards his 2nd degree, and training, testing and outside requirements are tuff. Master Lieder and his wife and 4 of their 7 children teach at the dojo and another is a student teacher. They are all Black Belts (1st-5th degree). In addition, there are several other instructors who have been trained at All-Star Martial Arts. They're a wonderful Christian family and do a lot for our community and with special needs children and adults. As well as teaching martial arts, they work hard to instill good values in their students. Master Lieder and his wife have always been good people to work with and listen to us if we have any issues or concerns. All-Star Martial Arts has been a very positive experience for our family and well worth our money and time. read more

Our 5 children, ranging in age from 5 to 19 yrs old, have been at All-Star Martial Arts for almost a year now. They have been participating in the daytime classes, and have not only learned a lot, but have been enjoying the experience! When I was looking for a martial arts dojo, one of my big concerns was that it would focus on each student being helped to accomplish their personal best, rather than following an overly competition-focused or rigid, boot camp mentality that I have seen & heard about in some - particularly since my 3rd child, 13 yrs old, has high functioning autism - but also because I knew my kids would never stick with it if it only felt like work. This school has been everything we wanted - and then some! The owners have consistently been attentive to our questions & any requests we have made. The instructors have taught my children all the appropriate forms, patterns, sparring & self-defense skills (every one of which includes teaching them to say "Back off - I don't want to fight!") for each belt rank level, in an age-appropriate way, to a degree that I have no concerns about them being able to hold their own in competition. Even my 13 yr old, who has some challenges in speech & movement, is doing fine without my ever needing to inform them that he is on the autistic spectrum. But what matters even more to me as a parent is that it is helping with their character development. My children have discovered that self-discipline and fun are not mutually exclusive things. Master Lieder has also gone to great lengths to instill in his students that Tae Kwon Do is more than just a physical sport, but is a way of life. In addition to mastering all the physical skills, the students are taught to live lives of virtue and service to others. The Lieders teach not only by word, but also by action, and have been great role models for our kids. It is a 30 minute drive for us to their school, and we pass by multiple other dojos on the way, but we would not dream of going anywhere else! read more

We have been going to All Star Martial Arts for almost 2 years now, and my 3 teenagers love it. They have always done well in their tournaments with students from other schools due to the training they have received at this facility (this is the only place they have ever gone to for TKD). Master Lieder and his wife are energetic, Christian, community-service oriented people. They work together with 4 of their grown children as well as other staff members to make this a very special, happy place. They constantly demonstrate a high level of respect, concern, and love for each other and for their students, and most of the instructors and staff have really cute senses of humor. I would highly recommend All Star Martial Arts to anyone interested in the various forms of martial art instruction they provide. -Joan Thomson read more

My son has been attending both homeschool and evening classes here since February of this year. Last Friday he tested for his yellow belt. I was amazed at his progress and just how much he knew already in his forms/patterns. Even more important, I believe All Star is teaching the children about the tenets of TKD and how to put them into action in their everyday lives. I love that about this place. They are producing talented Tae Kwon Do students and kids with character. read more

We have been at All Star for 1.5 yrs. It has been the most positive, challenging, quality, fun school for my boys to learn TKD. The instructors are extremely qualified and professional and make sure the kids learn everything at their individual level. The owner and his family truly care about the kids. You will not find another martial arts school for the family that compares to All Star Martial Arts. read more

Not family run, this place is chaotically ran by pre-teen aged kids! The 'family' owners are always out of town. They might have their photographs on the walls, but they are NOT the ones teaching class!!! Loud lobby, crowded gym, poor in school child center (my toddler was let out unsupervised!), rude. read more
