Respect, discipline, and other good characteristics are part of every class. Kids train to level-up their belt and there are tournaments to showcase what the kids have learned. Hwa RD also has an after school program, but my kid does not attend the program. Pros: - Great instructors and teachers - The academy teaches good behavior Cons: - Classes are paid upfront, which can be more than families can afford - Sometimes email responses can be slow

The instructors are patient and amazing with kids, always kind, but firm in teaching discipline.

Its not just about the skill and fitness I have gained thru going to DOJO but its also about the relationships I have made with all the instructors and other students. I love Dojo and really believe it has helped me in my personal life and my business life. I am 55 years old and working towards my 2nd degree. My son was going strong for several years and then stopped going, recently he started up again and him and I are enjoying the kickboxing lessons, and he is also doing the grappling classes to help keep in shape for College Football.

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.

Welcome to the gym Rocky could have trained at!…read more I had a good class here and our instructor was pleasant, friendly, and kept us newbies engaged in the class. These classes are extremely affordable and it's very convenient having on site parking. While these are great advantages, and you can pay by card in person and on the website, I'd really like to see them replace some of the floor mats and the equipment.

I attended the 3 hour Women's self defense class with my 19 y/o daughter…read more The class was well organized, registration process super easy. The 3 hours went very quickly because the structure was - see one, practice until we had it right, see another move, practice... At the end there was an opportunity to put it together, three male instructors were good sports about the women in the class practicing on them. For the first time I feel empowered to be aggressive, yell profanity and know I'm powerful enough to fight. Scarlet was the main instructor. She is serious, funny, skilled, engaging and smart. Truly a gifted instructor. The session took a grim topic and made it fun to learn. Super supportive. Highly recommend Krav Maga Self defense for Women. I'd probably go to other classes but I live in the western suburbs so it's too far.

It is a joy to practice in. -many thanks!

This is a great place to learn self defense quickly and effectively…read more Rick Faye is a great instructor. He is personable, friendly, accommodating, and interested in the wellbeing of his students. There are no belts here. Most of the people here are completely fatal so everyone is polite. This is a teaching environment where people joy in helping others to learn. Many of the people here have been in special forces, work in SWAT, or extensive other training, so the whole Karate Kid Black Cobra syndrome of sport fighting is missing. Students here are not looking to prove something, so bring your humility and positive attitude and it will be returned to you. As mentioned on the webpage, arts that are in the school's repertoire include Muay Thai, Kali, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, Grappling, and Panantukan/Boxing.
