Let me just say, I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Where to start? First, it is very hard to find a facility that has high-quality carpet, high ceilings, and enough space for competitive Wushu athletes to train. Summit Wushu Academy has all of that. Second, it is even harder to find qualified Wushu coaches who are not only energized and knowledgeable, but also top-tier athletes and competitors themselves. This is very rare. Phillip and Peter Dang have keen eyes and can bring out the best in any student. They have a well-rounded curriculum and are not interested in just cycling students through, they want all their students to shine! Regardless of your age, sex, or level of experience, Summit Wushu Academy will challenge and inspire you to be a better martial artist.

Summit Wushu Academy is unlike any other martial arts school that I have seen. My son started at 4…read moreyears old and now as a 5 year old has shown immense improvement in a variety of skills. Sifu Phillip and Sifu Peter provide a fun environment to learn but instill values that are often lost in programs today: respect of teachers, respect of self, respect of peers, independence, high expectations, hard work and practice, and overall discipline of the mind and body. My son has learned how to be more respectful, work hard for things he wants, all while learning Traditional Wushu. His confidence has always been high, but he has learned an understanding at his age of his abilities that is gentle, caring and respectful of others. He is also learning regularly how to work as a team. As an adult my wife and I have begun taking evening classes where we are learning the basics. I'm beginning overweight, out of shape and not flexible, and they have been fantastic! While I can't always keep up, they keep the expectations high for me, while at the same time help to make modifications that will improve my ability as I strive to catch up with those that are well beyond my ability. Sifu Phillip and Sifu Peter are extremely encouraging of those of us jumping in as adults, showing a lot of respect, making it fun and challenging, and keeping expectations high.

I've heard other Martial Arts studios will make families commit to two years of instruction or hours of instruction per week. There is no pressure put on the families or the children.

It's everything we were looking for in building our conditioning, flexibility, self discipline, focus, skills. It has been really engaging to practice this authentic and traditional art, learning the history, terminology, and culture along the way. Master Rosenthal is an outstanding practitioner, teacher, and leader. He's very dynamic in how he can keep it lighter and fun for the younger kids, upbeat and challenging for the adolescents, and realistic and accessible for us adults advancing in our years. Being new to Oregon, it has been a great way for my family and me to become involved in something outside our home, build relationships, come together as a community. I feel very fortunate for the friends I've made and the cool experiences I continue to have being a member of OMDK.

The instructors really do care about teaching clean and safe Judo. As somebody who's practiced and competed in Judo very intensely as a youth (I am a second degree black belt) and stepped away for a while, I'm especially grateful to learn/re-learn good foundation. I have a lot of fun too in class. The facilities are amazing. You can definitely feel the springs on the mat too. It's been about four-five months here and Im already recommending friends here. What also makes this dojo great is the connections to excellent Japanese Judo players (amongst other martial arts) that come stay at the dojo and teach.

Mike (Head Sensei) is so passionate about the sport and takes meticulous care in preserving the honor and tradition in the sport of Judo. He is extremely knowledgeable and is so approachable when teaching. In addition to just completing a world class facility, the culture of students here is exactly what our family was looking for. If you're looking for an awesome environment to learn martial arts and want to be surrounded by warm, passionate students and instructors. Drop your off your kids (or yourself) and worry about nothing.

A culture of mutual respect is fostered by the teacher, and carried through by the students. Four stars. It's a unique school that puts your growth as its highest priority.

All of our kids take TaeKwonDo, one of them takes both TKD and Bong Soo Han Traditional Hapkido. We have noticed improvement in each of them in their own ways. The programs here have improved and challenged our kids physically, mentally and emotionally, as each are at different levels in their life. They are finding it rewarding to engage and focus with the program. The programs are taught separately. The hapkido program is intense and fun. This program teaches falling, joint locks and throws in a self defense manner. All of the traditional hapkido philosophical principals like non-resistance and circular motion and the water principle are integrated into the program. Overall its been an excellent experience for kids and adults with learning new skills, improving fitness, building family togetherness, morale, commitment and motivation.

My son absolutely detested going to class but we made him go because of our contract. We tried to explain this to Grand Master Bettencort. The response always went back to the contract we signed. We explained that with our limited family budget ( my husband is permanently disabled) we felt our funds would be better spent helping our son pursue his music and band interests. We were lead to believe that Bettencourt's was not about the money, but about the kids doing something they are compassionate about. We finally quit paying and were sent to a collection agency. We paid them to protect our credit, but only to protect our credit. A word of advice, if your child is interested in classes here, do not sign a contract
