And resilience (sit-ups are hard no matter how old you are).

I recently attended a trial for World Martial Arts Song Moo Kwan Hapkido Program. I have been a…read moreHapkido student for several years and was very impressed with this program. First off I must say this is the most beautiful well thought out Martial Arts facility that I have ever been to. The school has a rich history and the Instructor Master Pat Carey is excellent and knowledgeable in both Hapkido and Taekwondo. The entire organization is very courteous and welcoming both students and Instructors. It can be difficult to find a Dojang teaching true and pure Hapkido that is not hybridized with Taekwondo but the school does a great job of keeping the two arts separate. I highly recommend anyone interested in an Excellent traditional Martial Arts program give World Martial Arts a try.

They have grown in maturity in ways words cannot describe…read more They respect us as parents at home, and they always look forward to their next Karate class. The staff and teachers make everyone feel welcomed. They are very open minded and always ask questions to make sure everyone is comfortable. They teach self defense, and when to use it. It is not just punches or kicks, it is also to look out for everyone, respect all life. They keep me involved and make me feel welcomed. Seriously, I am very happy we have them, and I hope their students spread the same message!

He works incredibly hard to make MJKA a successful martial arts training center, communicates very well with and truly cares about the kids. We have also been impressed with Ben and Devante, his junior jiu jitsu instructors. Second, MKJA is one of only 3 Gracie Certified Training Centers in Minnesota where the Gracie Bullyproof program is taught, with the option of moving into the Gracie Combatives course as teenagers. Both the Bullyproof and Combatives courses have unique aspects to them, including prioritizing jiu jitsu as street self defense over jiu jitsu as a sport. We definitely recommend MKJA for anyone.
