The first class in the trial we purchased she had a meltdown complete with major tears. Shihan Marc and his daughter Kirsten who works with him were amazing in helping both my daughter and me. Kirsten sat with my daughter to make her feel comfortable and talked to her to keep her at ease. After the class Shihan Marc came over to her to reassure her that he was proud of her effort and then told me we could extend the trial. After a few more attempts and her sitting on then side observing she was finally able to participate in the class and loved it. Shihan Marc is so patient, understanding, and truly cared about gaining her trust. They both cared to make sure she was comfortable participating and engaging in the class. Shihan Marc is an excellent teacher and has a great rapport with the students no matter the age. He quickly came to understand my daughter and was able to recommend the most suitable class for her. Shihan Marc works well with both neuro-typical and neuro-divergent kids and is able to build a bond with each student. I can not recommend this school enough.

I can't say enough great things about Quest. Our son began his journey there in second grade, and…read moreover the past seven years, he's progressed through multiple belt ranks -- including his Youth and Child Black Belts. Along the way, he's developed discipline, cultural appreciation, and confidence. The instructors are exceptionally knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to ensure each student understands techniques while fostering growth and self-assurance. They strike a perfect balance between structure and encouragement, challenging students to improve while keeping classes fun and engaging. It's clear they care deeply about helping students grow both physically and mentally. The studio itself is clean, well-organized, and rooted in a strong sense of community. I highly recommend Quest to anyone looking to study martial arts in a positive, professional environment.

I called on July 15 to discuss my family's in-progress move and was only able to schedule an appointment for July 23. During our meeting, I wanted to cancel the contract, but he said I must keep making payments until August, even though an extra fee was charged to my account right after signing. We're moving away, making it impractical to attend classes, yet they insist my child participate in a promotion ceremony on August 23 and that I can only withdraw after that. It's frustrating because my child isn't receiving proper instruction; although we have videos proving he isn't engaged, the instructor claims otherwise. This program seems more focused on profits than education, and I'm left confused about how to end this situation, especially with concerns about potential charges for August, September, and the mystery additional charge already taken.
