This place is amazing! The people here are the greatest! They go above and beyond to make sure the kids are learning, growing, and succeeding while having a great time. The instructors work very hard to make sure the kids are well prepared for each testing cycle. Not all kids progress at the same rate so they offer more advance classes for more advanced kids. They even offer private lessons or extra test prep for kids who need the extra help to earn their next belt. The instructors and owners really care about the kids. And it shows with every interaction. While they may be a little more extensive than some other places, you get what you pay for. They aren't running a belt mill. They are helping the kids develop character, teaching them leadership skills, and helping them grow into better versions of themselves. They have changed my son's life in ways that I couldn't have imagined when we first started here over a year ago. My son is a better, stronger, and more confident person today because of the instructors, owners, and staff at Borders. read more

Both my kids are enrolled here for Taekwondo - it has been just over 2 years now and they have grown so much. I never thought I'd see my 7 yr old memorizing and performing the complex Forms they learn or that he could have such an improvement in his balance. Not to mention that they are both in great shape now and I don't worry as much about them being harmed in the community. Love it and feel that if you invest in the program and truly embrace the program the benefits are amazing. I am in the Krav Maga program and after 2 yrs I am in better shape than I ever have been. My half marathon time dropped by almost 15 minutes during my first year. The skills are quick to acquire, here again IF YOU INVEST in the program and embrace the curriculum. I have no history with martial arts and they have made it a great transition. read more

Let me just say that this place is great! Coming from a single parent, I can appreciate all the support on raising my son with some integrity. It is nice having the instructors back up and reiterate what I do at home. Just hearing things from someone besides myself, my son has really improved his behavior in the past several months. Not to mention he is enjoying the martial arts training as well. Win win. read more

My family started martial arts here a few months ago and it has been a great experience. My son always asks if it is karate day. Me and my husband have been to other karate schools but borders martial arts takes thecake. The classes give you a great workout and the instructors are very versatile in multiple disciplines. Recommend this to anyone looking for martial arts training. read more

My son has been taking classes at Borders for over seven months now and he loves it! He's benefitted from it in so many ways, not just in class but outside at home and school, too. I have a toddler who loves it, as well. She isn't taking classes (yet) but she has a great time playing with friends. It's a great gym with wonderful instructors and a positive environment. read more

I highly recommend Borders, the owners are well trained in martial arts and teaching life skills. I don't normally review businesses but I will just say this Academy is without a doubt the best one in the area and it is a business and businesses have to make money or they don't stay in business. read more

Borders focuses on benefiting people and encouraging excellence in martial arts. I have seen the younger students benefit in life skills like focus and discipline. As an adult student I can testify to Borders not only helping me in my physical fitness, but also in mental discipline. read more

This place is as good as it gets. Between the staff, the facility, and the life skills they teach you can't find a better school.

My kids have been doing karate here for over a year and still love it. Great staff and facility and would highly recommend it!!

My child attended Borders ATA for 5 years and he walked away with valuable lessons he will use for the rest of his life.

Great people and place! Would recommend them to any parent looking for a taekwondo school for their kids!

Borders Black Belt Academy has been an amazing journey for our son. We love being a part of this family.
