I signed up for TKD because it seemed like a fun way to get exercise. I have gotten so much more…read morethan that since I signed up earlier this year!! Tae Kwon Do offers tremendous mental benefits--focus, memorization, spatial reasoning (all those things we tend to stop practicing as adults). I was worried that I wouldn't have time in my schedule for the classes, but was surprised to see that in just a few weeks my new boost in mental clarity was SAVING me time at work. Physically, the exercise has been great. My immune system has enjoyed a boost--I haven't been catching all the illnesses going around! The exercise includes a nice range of cardio, strength training and flexibility. Working toward each belt has been surprisingly rewarding. There is a sense of camaraderie, working with peers and kids in the same belt level. We all have so much to learn from each other--that's humbling and keeps me feeling young! My sense of responsibility in my community has increased, as that's a core component of the TKD culture. I'm seeking out ways to help others more! Every time I pass a piece of litter, the masters' voices go off in my head until I pick it up. :) The masters are amazing. They always wear a smile and an encouraging voice, but that doesn't mean they'll let us get away with doing anything less than our best! The TKD culture is full of respect, strength, integrity and honor--things that have been forgotten by most of us Americans. Spending time here has been a great influence on me, that has spread to all areas of my life. The extra programs offered (Leadership Team, Demo Team, etc.) are great assets to our community, as they nurture kids, teens and parents into better neighbors, students, employees and employers. Thank you, Masters, for all you do for us!

Pretty impressive considering they have dozens of students come through in a day. I've also been very impressed with the curriculum and how quickly my 4 year old has picked up on things. She looks forward to our weekly practices and I have seen such a positive shift in her attitude since starting! Her response to many of my questions is "yes ma'am" which I have Master Mia to thank for that. They teach children about respect and working hard and as a mother I appreciate that so much. My daughter has worked hard and has already worked her way up to the next belt and I have the coaches to thank for that! I highly recommend this Tae Kwondo facility to anyone looking for high quality education and coaching.

I saw their ad for a women's self-defense class and decided to give it a try. I've always wanted…read moreto try Krav so this was the perfect opportunity. It was a two-day class for 2.5 hrs each day. August and John were very welcoming to all the students and, after a short intro, we got to work. There were women of all ages and fitness levels, and all were really getting into it and learning. August introduced the right amount of stress to the training as we progressed and introduced real-world scenarios, which was extremely helpful. When I told a friend of mine (as I was showing off my new bruises :)) that it was 2.5 hours per class, she questioned "Why so long? They should do like 1-hour instruction & practicum, no?" My response was that I felt part of the training was to put you in stress mode and make you fight when tired. Again, real world. We took short water breaks, but everyone was excited to get back on the mat! I travel alone a lot for work and have had been in some situations I couldn't avoid, so I know the skills I learned (and will continue to practice) will be something I can draw on should I need to. Should I decide to become a practitioner, I'm sure I'll be coming here. Looking forward to their street training class, whenever the next one comes up. Thanks August!

My hubby is the knowledgeable one in the family and really likes this studio. I can see that it is well regarded just by the number of mostly kids who attend the adult evening classes. It's like a club of really great kids who are working their way to better themselves through this sport. The owners are a family who are all well trained martial arts experts. They are the nicest people you could ever do business with and trust to teach your kiddos. All classes are in their giant open studio. They also have a play area for young siblings and a small workout area. They set up an audience area to watch the kids practice. The location and parking lot are a bit hard to find for a first timer. They are way set back by the Christian Preschool. Finally be warned sports are expensive and this is no different. Tuition covers unlimited classes based on what is available on their schedule for your age/level. They test for the next level belt about every 6 weeks and It's recommended to practice at least twice per week to be ready to move up. My kids have been there for 5 months and are up 3 belts. Costs so far include tuition, belt testing, equipment, competition entry fees, and weapons.... We estimate it's cost about 1000 for all of those things per kid so far. As far as value, my couch potatoes are enjoying it and going willingly so as long as they are on the path, it's well worth it.
