I have had my children in the Bully Proof Prevention program for over 3 years now and I have to…read moresay that it is a fantastic program. The things that are taught are LIFE LESSONS not just the tactical moves of Jujitsu. The lessons are to be built upon and it will be repetitive to build the memory of it. This is not learning to punch or kick someone but how to get your child (or yourself) out of a harmful situation and remain in control. The instructors are loving but expect respect (again life lessons here) during the practice. We have loved watching our children absorb this program and will often carry the same messages home for them to use at school and with friends. Mike, Suzanne and Brandy are wonderful instructors and make this place feel like an extended family every time If you are not sure come by and you can always do a trial class for free!

What can we say about RTMA? Well, it is this simple - if you want to be as good as you can get at…read moremartial arts, if you aren't willing to settle with going to a "belt mill" studio where your earning belts is more a function of the checks you write than the skills you have developed, then this is where you should go. Be warned - it is fun, but you will work for it. And the better you get, the harder you will work and the more will be expected. This is how it should be - and you will feel better about yourself for it. The instruction and facilities are all first rate, prices are very reasonable (especially compared to some of the other studios around Richmond), no contracts, and you will truthfully learn some martial arts stylings (Atemi Ryu Juijitsu) that is not offered anywhere else in the area. So if you want to be the best you can be, want to go to a martial arts stchool that still treats it as a discipline and an art and not a sport, then do yourself a favor and try out RTMA.

I have trained at Grandmaster Dong's Harbour Pointe with my daughter for approximately 6 years now…read more Throughout those years it has been an honor and privilege to be instructed by and train with so many wonderful people. Grandmaster Dong continues to update the curriculum regularly, continuing to fine tune his system and continues to teach regularly, sharing his knowledge and experience with his students. Master Dickens and his instructors at Harbour Pointe are wonderful and patient with all of their students whether they are young children just starting out or older Black Belts advancing to higher levels of training. I started attending to have something to do with my daughter and so that she could learn a little about how to defend herself, i now stay for myself as much as her as i have found a place at Dong's where i feel that I belong. I often tell parents that this isn't like any other activity that kids take part in like baseball, soccer etc. Sure you can coach their soccer team but martial arts is something that you can share entirely and do together. It has been a fantastic bonding experience for both myself and my daughter and we continue to move forward together on our journey and encourage others to find the same experience. ~Mike S. Dong's Karate Harbour Pointe has been a welcoming place since the very beginning. They teach amazingly and have each other's backs. It's all like one big family. ~Mikaela S.
