As a student I have experienced a massive boost in confidence, coordination, focus and general attitude; and the time spent in class has helped me through very rough patches in my life. I feel that anyone, in any phase of life, will find value in the instruction that transcend simple physical benefits. I believe in this school so much that both of my children now attend classes with me, and I would encourage other parents to enroll their children as well. Martial arts can give a child balance and focus, much needed traits in school and in life.

I am so happy that I chose this academy for my daughter to be apart of, it is the best choice I could have made! From the start, my daughter was welcomed by everyone and thrown right into class like she had been attending the academy for years.

I recommend 10/10!!! Don't look any further.

I am writing this review as a parent who has signed my daughter up for their karate program. Adult…read moreclasses are available, but this review is specifically from my experience for the youth program. My daughter has been going to Guido's Martial Arts Academy for almost 6 months now. I can confidently say signing her up was one of the best decisions we made for her. She has grown immensely in her confidence. Her school life has improved. Her focus has improved. Guido's has helped shape and build her to become a strong, confident young lady. I'm excited to see her continue to grow. The program is very hands on and I love the set up of the structure. The program allows you to attend as many scheduled classes as you'd like in the week. We always strive to attend at least two classes a week, but try to take her more often is possible. All of the instructors are excellent and have very unique characteristics they bring to each session. Shihan is always around and available to offer any assistance needed for the children or the parents. We had a school situation with our daughter that popped up. I spoke with Shihan about the situation and asked if he could speak with my daughter and he did. It was the perfect conversation she needed to hear from an amazing role model to help guide her back to the right behavior. We are so thankful for Guido's and I'm literally counting down the days until my youngest turns 3 and we can sign her up as well. Thank you Guido's team!

I've been a student of martial arts for 22 years and an instructor for about 12 years. I was…read moreSensei Wael's student for almost eight years, until age and injuries forced me to stop. I can honestly say that Wael is the best instructor I have ever had. His martial arts knowledge is encyclopedic, and he is infinitely patient with students, while always trying to come up with new, creative ways to teach. He currently holds three black belts in Kokodo Jujitsu, Shorin-Ryu Kempo, and Hammerhead Hapkido, but that doesn't begin to describe his expertise. He has also become proficient in Silat and Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, and has studied Shotokan Karate, Hwrangdo, Jeet Kune Do, and Aikido. To top it off, although Wael is an extremely peaceful person, in years past he had many violent street encounters and is well-versed in practical self-defense skills. He also is constantly pushing himself to learn more, and has, at his own expense, attended Silat and Jujitsu seminars in various parts of the country and abroad in order to increase his body of knowledge. I learned so much from Wael that it is hard to really express it in a limited space. I struggled with martial arts for years, and often felt uncoordinated and ignorant. Under Wael's guidance, principles and techniques came together for me, and he truly expanded my knowledge and skill in ways I never dreamed could happen. Hammerhead Hapkido, which is Wael's synthesis of Hapkido, Silat and Jujitsu, is a demanding, but practical and endlessly fascinating martial art. When people ask me about what martial art I would recommend, I always encourage them to try Wael and Hammerhead Hapkido.

EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL…read more The owners of this studio HAD been very accepting of my child who had just begun taking taekwondo lessons for the first couple of weeks, but the sparring equipment that they supplied continuously fell off and was poor quality, but I figured "whatever, they're supplying it for free". I noticed a lot of the other kids had their own sparring equipment so I asked another parent and she told me I could order it off Amazon. I ordered new wrist and shinguards off of Amazon but I figured I could continue using the body guards that they already had because it rarely came loose. When I brought my kid back the next lesson, they owner sat all of the kids down and went on a long rant about how rude it was to buy equipment online and not through them, and how it was disrespectful to continue using the other equipment that they provided. My kid was really upset because they were obviously being singled out, and it wasn't even their fault! I didn't even know that they sold equipment, and I just couldn't keep using the cheap and old equipment that they had provided since it was affecting my kid's ability to spar. That being said, if they had a problem with how I spent MY money they should've talked to me privately! Not yell at my child in front of the whole class! Horrible experience, we are never going back.
