Aspire Martial Arts is not just a training facility -- it's a positive environment where kids grow mentally, emotionally, and physically. I highly recommend them to any family looking for a program that teaches both martial arts and strong moral skills. read more

An absolutely amazing program for busy preschool and school aged kids. We needed something to help our little one burn that extra energy and help maintain some type of focus and this program is exactly what we needed. Mr. Morris and his team are phenomenal with the kids and also provide social events at the studio so that the kids and families can get to know each other outside of class. Our child looks forward to the weekly lessons and I can not recommend Aspire Martial Arts enough. read more

We started at aspire a few weeks ago and we are so glad we did! The staff is incredible and so welcoming. The facility is also clean and well taken care of. My 5 year old loses interest pretty quickly (as many 5 year old boys do), but the team at aspire makes it fun and engaging for the little ones. They are awesome! Excited to watch my little guy become a black belt (one day)! Also, we came down with strep and missed a week in a half of classes and they reached out just to make sure we were ok! My son's preschool didn't even reach out! They already had my business but the concern they showed towards my son really won us over. read more

Wow! We've been coming for our almost 5yr old for a few months now and our whole family is just so impressed! The sessions are the perfect length and Mr. Morris works on everything with them and teaches them confidence and other life skills as well as taekwondo. Super entertaining, our active child is never bored and he is thriving in other areas because of coming here! They are also very kind to his Autistic sister that comes to watch him which makes us feel very welcome. Highly recommend! read more

I won't post photos, because in addition to my children, there are others in the photo, but these are great activities! Highly recommend!

We went there for the first time last night with my two shy grandsons 5 and 3. These people know exactly how to work with kids. Amazing energy and understanding of children of all types and backgrounds. We enjoyed their approach and trainings. We definitely will sign up. They allow one free session and the staff are highly friendly and professional. The cost is a bit high but I am sure it's super worth it when it comes to training children physical and emotional discipline. I highly am excited to be sitting in that bench to watch our children to grow and learn other things nine gadget related. read more

My daughter and son (11, 7 yrs old) are both enrolled at Aspire. They have been going there for about a year. This program is fun and challenging physically and mentally. Since coming to Aspire they have improved in the effort they put into school, home and athletics. Mr. Morris and his staff are great at connecting with, and encouraging students. read more

We recently brought our Girl Scout troop here for their bully defense training. Mr Morris is amazing! He has a way of talking about this serious subject and teaching them techniques in such a way that held the girls' attention. I know of Mr Morris because he teaches at my daughter's charter school, and I was immediately impressed with him the first time I saw him with the class. There's a second part to Aspire's bully defense training, and we will definitely be bringing our troop to it :-) read more

This studio is awesome! My daughter and I are taking classes at this school and we are both really enjoying our training. We are both learning valuable life skills and discipline. Mr. Morris and team have created a great program and we are so lucky to have this fantastic business in our community. read more

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Aspire Martial Arts and the instructor/ owner, Mr. Morris. I was hesitant in placing my son in tae kwon do at the age of 14 but after I spoke to Mr. Morris he eased my concerns and fears. Mr. Morris not only teaches the children about tae kwon do and bully prevention, but also about leadership, respect, perseverance, and accountability. If you find yourself on the fence about placing your child in martial arts, I recommend you visit a class at Aspire; you will be thoroughly impressed with the studio and Mr. Morris!! read more

See all

I cannot day enough good things about this place! Mr. Morris and his team has worked WONDERS for my son who when joining was shy and didn't have very much confidence. My son now asks us everyday "how many more days until taekwondo?" When we are at class we are always greeted 1:1 by Mr. Morris or a member of his team, and they are very communicative about what is happening in the class. If your child needs that little extra nudge in opening up from being shy, or confident; or even if your child is having behavior problems in class, or not listening; the discipline learned here for you child is WELL worth it! read more

My 4 yr old son loves it here. It is his first martial arts experience and Mr. Morris is such an amazing teacher. I love how he not only teaches martial arts but also teaches them about bullying and talks to the kids about things they go through. My son has learned to be more responsible and I love how much more respectful he has become and attentive. I also love how Mr. Morris and his team have taken such an active role with all the children. My son has always been so shy and now he is so confident. Thank you Mr. Morris and everyone at Aspire. read more

You will not find a better instructor than Mr. Morris! Our 4 year old son started Tae Kwon Do at Aspire last August (when he was 3), and we could not be more pleased with the changes we have seen in him. He is more confident, courteous, better at following directions, and most importantly, respectful. At 4 years old he is learning to defend himself while gaining incredible life lessons. Thank you Mr. And Mrs. Morris for everything you do making this generation of kids shine! read more

My son has been attending Aspire for about 7 months now. I can't not say enough great things about Mr. Morris and Aspire. I think it is a great program and love everything it is about. read more

This review has been long overdue. Mr. Morris was my first martial arts instructor and has been my instructor for the past 8 years. He is so amazing! I learned so much about myself and about life through his classes. He's the definition of a dedicated and hardworking person. It's amazing to see how a child can change in a short period of time through his classes. It was funny reading Mimi's review because it shows how badly her kid needs to attend his classes. Newsflash woman, YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOUR POOR PARENTING SKILLS. It seems to me that she could learn a few things from Mr. Morris instead of munching off free things. My piece of advice is to see how Mr. Morris is for yourself, you definitely won't regret it! read more

World class instruction. I would not consider having my children train at any other school. Mr. Morris and his staff are amazing.

My son has been attending for about a year now. He loves Aspire, and I really appreciate how they encourage more than just kicking and punching. They reinforce important values like integrity, confidence, and responsibility. I feel like he's getting more than just physical instruction, but also character instruction, in a supportive environment. We really got lucky finding this place. read more
