Mr. De La Cruz, Mr. Arya, and all of the teachers are incredible and truly are world class. This is not your typical kids Tae Kwon Do school where the teachers are rudimentary and lack energy. The teachers' passion and energy make me want to get out of my seat and participate! My daughter looks forward to every class and I've seen her grow tremendously in such a short time. I am so thankful that we have found World Class Tae Kwon Do and I tell all our friends about how much I value my daughter's time training with these amazing teachers. If you're looking for a new skill and activity definitely check out this place!

We've had such a wonderful experience with Maloney's Martial Arts and I truly can't recommend them…read moreenough. My son attends classes twice a week, and what stands out the most is the balance they maintain between discipline and encouragement. The instructors are incredibly patient, structured, and genuinely invested in each child's growth--not just in martial arts, but in confidence, focus, and respect. What I really appreciate is how consistent and thoughtful the teaching approach is. Classes are well-organized, and there's a strong emphasis on life skills--self-control, perseverance, and responsibility--not just physical training. You can tell this is more than just a class--it's a community. The environment is welcoming, and kids feel supported while still being challenged to do their best. I've seen a noticeable improvement in my son's confidence and discipline since joining. If you're looking for a place that truly cares about your child's overall development, this is it.

My daughter joined Maloney's martial arts when she was in 2nd grade after trying another martial…read moreart class. Mr. Maloney and Mrs. Angelica both are very patient, positive and encouraging. They don't just teach karate but also long lasting life skills. Here is what Maloney's martial arts means to my daughter in her own words "When I first started, I thought that karate would never come in handy especially because of the safe community I was living in. But after a few classes, I realized that it wasn't only for self defense, it was also to learn to be kind to others, to yourself, to be calm and learn to control your body. These characteristics are what Karate is made of and mastering them can help you so much throughout life. Karate is not just about a black belt but it is about what you learn to get to that stage."

The camp we attended was only 4 days, but they delivered an awesome performance to golden. The Saturday classes are also fun and challenging, and the facility is very well equipped for the classes. My only suggestion is some more seating for parents in the waiting area, but other than that, I am very happy with them. Communication is easy via email, and instructors are so nice and pleasant and clearly like what they are doing.

Be careful with Master Hung. After about 10 months, we…read moredecided to discontinue the lessons as I felt my child was not learning much. The day I requested to discontinue, that *same day* they charged me for the next full month, knowing fully well that we won't taking lessons. This was 5 days *before* the regular day they normally charge for the next month. When I requested a refund, I was told that it would be more convenient to sign up for summer camps. And if I chose to not go for summer camps, I could get a refund. We didn't end up signing up for summer camps and so I requested a refund after school started. The emails went unanswered. 3 reminders later, when I managed to get in touch with Master Hung, I am shown the rule-book and that it's too late to request refund for May.

After 4 years of gymnastics, my daughter (now 11), has been taking tae kwon do for over 3 years at…read moreTiger Martial Arts. My son (5 years old) started lessons July 2010. Each lesson begins with warm up stretching exercises and regular exercises like jumping jacks, push ups,and sit ups. Master Hung takes time to make sure they are doing these correct too. They do drills helpful for tae kwon do, like scissor kicking and knee hops. Then, they work on their different techniques for kicking and striking. My son likes the sparring the best. He uses the big blue shields that the studio provides. My daughter has her own bag of sparring gear, helmut, chest, arm, leg, and mouth guards. There is controlled sparring and sparring exercises, example, two lines of kids facing each other, 3 front kicks forward and 3 front kicks back. Contact is ok because of the shields and protective gear. This is also carefully controlled by Master Hung. Kids are not trying to hurt each other. Master will also teach kids to use double techniques and to stack their opponents. Kids also learn kata's for each of their belts. Kids get more belts than adults. They will go thru a white belt with a yellow stripe, orange stripe, and a black stripe. Then a yellow belt with different stripes. After passing a test, kids break a board with the technique for that belt and go thru the ceremony for the new belt. My kids enjoy taking classes once a week. Two classes would give them more practice and advanced them faster, but my son enjoys taking gymnastic classes (Goldstar Gymnastics) every week too and my daughter likes to take a different class, like ice skating or swimming. There is a fee for the uniform, each belt test, and later on, sparring gear. But the fees and equipment are comparable to other classes like gymnastics (leotard), swimming (swim suit), soccer (cleats), and ice skating. I like that this class is educational for my kids, teaches them courtesy, respect, and exercises them.

Even if we have to travel across town, 720's classes are worth it. The coaches are highly skilled,…read morewell-respected within the wushu community, great with students of all ages, from toddlers up to adults, and welcoming. The kids adore the coaches because they're really fun, but they're also very on task. When the toddlers start losing focus, the coaches notice right away and have fun ways of bringing them back. When the older kids have ambitious goals, the coaches are very encouraging and help them overcome their challenges. For adults who are just starting out or are out of practice, the coaches are very patient and kind. The school teaches forms, acrobatics, and weapons, and offers opportunities for performances and competitions, so there can be something of interest for everyone.

This is my first time bringing my children to this karate class, and I was surprised to learn that…read morethe lesson takes place in a separate room where parents are not allowed to watch. My children are only 4 years old and are still learning English. I do not understand why I am not allowed to see what is happening during the class. As a parent, I believe I should be able to observe my young children, especially when they are in a new environment. If space is limited, the facility should find a way to accommodate parents rather than completely preventing them from watching. I find this policy unreasonable and disappointing.

Okaigan Karate has been one of the best things we could have done for our daughter…read more Before we began there, our daughter, still 4 at the time, would struggle to be in activities on her own without one of us there by her side at all times. When we began Okaigan, we were hesitant about the policy where no parents are allowed inside the dojo during class times but the instructors explained to us very clearly that doing so would not only be a distraction to our daughter and other students but would also prevent her from developing confidence and independence. They were very helpful and clear in explaining what happens in class, what we could expect as far as the challenge for our daughter in being on her own, and ways they work with the kids to help comfort them. Within a few classes, our daughter was not only comfortable in her karate classes but to our surprise, in ALL of her other activities. We no longer had to sit by her side and watched over the next few months as her confidence and independence grew. It's been a year now and she loves her karate classes. She works hard for every belt and they're not definitely not bought or given to them. It's clear they have to be earned. She loves the instructors there, we're amazed by how much she has developed over this time, and it tells us a lot that out of all of her activities, karate is the only one that she has wanted to keep pursuing consistently.
