I can for sure say that taekwondo has been so helpful in starting the long journey we have. Everyone from the instructors to the leadership team to other parents of students are so kind and patient. The skills along with the physical exercise are priceless. We also decided to host my son's birthday party at Master Yang's recently. It was amazing. A great deal and they did everything. It was a group of about 15 kids mostly 3-4 year olds so you'd think it would be chaos...nope! Very organized and they all had so much fun. My husband and I barely had to do anything. Thank you Master Yang's for looking out for our family and helping our son. There are a lot of different taekwondo places in the area, but I would say that this is definitely one of the best

This is by FAR the best place for anyone looking to learn martial arts. My son started when he was…read more3 years old (they have since changed the minimum age requirement) and now is getting ready to test for his black belt at almost 11 years old. He went from white to black in the little lions program and then white to (soon) black in the junior program. I have nothing but amazing things to say. The instructors really care about the kids. They don't just know their names, they know their interests, personalities, siblings names, friends. They take the time to really knew each student. They do not push kids through the belt levels either. They make sure each child is really ready to move up before they invite them to promotion testing. My son has ADHD and really struggled especially when he was little. My husband and I agree that a major reason our son is now disciplined, respectful, and can focus better is because of Master Yang's. I even tried Krav Maga and made some great friendships during my brief time in class. Pregnancy and knee surgery kept me from going back but my son continues in their taekwondo program. This studio is more than just a place to learn martial arts, it's a place that teaches a lifestyle, character development and perseverance. Master Yang's quickly became like a home to us and we have loved every minute of our experience. I am beyond thrilled that my son wants to continue beyond his black belt at Master Yang's because I could not bear the thought of leaving our 2nd home. I strongly encourage anyone considering martial arts for themselves or their child to give Master Yang's a call. You will not be disappointed.

After exploring a few places, I walked into Victory BJJ and took a Saturday morning class. Victor was running the warm-up drills for the students with a watchful eye and walked me through the safety rules before smoothly involving me into the class. I was hooked. Immediately. That was six and a half years ago. I've been attending his classes three to five times a week ever since. Victor has a clear and precise way of teaching that is easy to watch, grasp, feel and understand the complex moves being taught. We drill the moves in progressive steps and eventually put them to use in the sparring phase of the class. Victor is also a very, very good grappler and creates a technique-intensive and professional atmosphere that welcomes everybody. There's no "bro culture" and the people at the gym are genuinely interested in helping each other get better without tearing people down. The kids classes are absolute marvels to watch - they get so excited at doing things right and venting energy productively! - and the adult classes are not quite as outwardly exciting, but are great places to vent energy and develop our puzzle-solving and athletic skills. Most weekday classes are from 7:00 pm to about 8:30 or 9:00 pm. For experienced people: Berimbolo and vale tudo coexist here. More of the latter than the former, but Victor will subvert the new sports bjj stuff we throw at him and take our backs while laughing quietly. Very experienced, exacting teacher with a good sense of humor.

Most of the time, he was passive about the training. I've never thought Wushu is "his thing" until one day he visited CMAA. He has been so dedicated to the sport that he doesn't want to miss any training - very much proactive. As the result, he has excelled well and won gold medals in recent regional and national competitions. I have been trying to figure out the "hooks." First of all, the amazing coach. Lucas is the owner and instructor. He's Caucasian, but he knows Chinese martial arts no less than Chines athletes. He studied in China for a few years and is able to read the Kong Fu code book that most Chinese could not even comprehend. Above all, he knows how to teach. He motivates not pushing. He paces each student's progress based on individual readiness. He not only teaches moves, but ethics and discipline. My son constantly paraphrases the words Lucas uses, like "early is on-time, on-time is late, and late is unacceptable...""virtuosity is doing common things uncommonly well..." The training facility is new (a year and half) and tastefully decorated. The schedule is flexible and you can find proper time slots easier than many other schools. The students there are also amazing. My son is friend with almost every student; some of them are years older. In class, they help each other. After school, they are buddies. Considering after almost a year training at CMAA, my son is still so crazy about Wushu, Lucas must be doing something right!

I should have known that something was off when after calling the number, contacting my email and facebook I was completely ignored. So I saw that he advertised when the class schedule was (but each site had a different schedule) so I started going to the studio until I found a class open. It seemed I was more enthusiastic about learning than the teacher was about teaching. Almost had to beg to take class. Anyway I sign up for class pay $300 for 3 months and after the first couple of weeks immediately regretted it. All of the class except for myself had a t least 1 year of experience so the class was being taught at an intermediate level which I could not do. Imagine signing up to learn Algebra and getting taught Trig. You need a foundation to build upon and he had no desire to help me build that foundation. By the 5th week I was so far d\behind it was ridiculous. Studied for 5 weeks got maybe 3 decent days of training and never got money back. Teacher is very knowledgeable but just doesnt seem like he is fully there during sessions. Very disappointing

I used to be in moderately good shape. I could run (I guess technically it's called jogging if…read moreyou're this slow) a 5k in 30 minutes, bench press more than my weight, and do my share of pushups and crunches. Then I spent 6 years traveling the world while working in a cubicle when not traveling. Constant jet lag, eating out for every meal, spending at least 90% of every day sitting or lying down. When my health insurance offered $500 towards a gym membership, and at my physical I was told I'm horribly out of shape, I decided to find a gym to go to. I did a lot of research. Crossed out any gym that did not have someone motivating you, as I knew I wouldn't go. Also, crossed out group classes where everyone is forced to do the same thing and boxing, since I wanted the workout to be based on my personal progress and was not willing to risk injury. I settled on yoga and Top Form. The problem with yoga ended up being that they were not compatible with my erratic schedule, so I went with Top Form. I started off with Evan who did a physical assessment, which confirmed that I'm weak all around, but especially my core, lack balance, and flexibility. He then designed a program to fix this. I have had three seasons with Evan and two with Jake, and find that I'm slowly getting back into shape, but with a stronger core than I ever had. I even see a six pack in the mirror, before I eat breakfast. I find that I'm stronger, sleep better, eat better. At $50/session it's not cheap, but with the cost of healthcare, I'd rather spend a few hundred a month on a gym membership than at a doctor's office. The facility has everything needed for an amazing workout, and there's showers and a changing area for the pre-office/post-office workout. There's a spring water dispenser, and cups for the times I forget to bring my water bottle.
