Even through Covid, classes were accommodated online and we were impressed with how well our children were still able to keep up and progress through their belts. Master Pesantez is very knowledgeable and an incredible teacher. He's serious when he needs to be, yet he has a great sense of humor to make the class enjoyable for the kids. Our boys also enjoy Master Skyler's personality and teaching skills. Monica always answers our many questions with a smile and makes us feel very welcome in the building. We have recommended Sangrock to all that have inquired about Taekwondo. We have been very pleased with this company. Our boys have truly grown to love the art of Taekwondo and we owe it all to Sangrock.

He makes friends easily, learns how to handle his emotions in victory amd defeat, and learns to be apart of a comminity to make it better. Master Majesky has proctored so much personal growth and physical health and wellness. Our son has learned the Tennant's of Taekwondo and they are a practice in our home. I recommend this school to everyone with kids. His little Ninjas class is phenominal. Teaching a child to break a board and cheer for his mates is so rewarding. I give so much credit to Master Majesky in how much my son has grown and how much his shyness and timidness has improved.

We came across Movement Family Martial Arts and it has been an amazing experience. Master Matt Majesky is great with the kids and is an awesome instructor. He is very encouraging and teaches leadership by allowing the higher belt students to teach a portion of the class. We felt welcomed the moment we walked through the door. It really is a family here and my daughter loves it!!! Thank you Master Matt and staff

We are on our second week with Master O and all I can say is this Dojo DESERVES way more visibility…read morethan other martial arts studios. Master O and Lyndsey are such rockstars. They are running their business while taking care of their littles. They care about their business but they also care for their students and their students' respective families. They understand family life and they are fully aware of the current economy that we are living in. I inquired at other martial arts studios around Ballantyne and I have to tell you they charge thousands of dollars and they require a year commitment. At Master O's its NOT required to have a year commitment. It's month to month. Also, if the unforeseeable happens, all you need to do is give them a two weeks notice to pause or cancel your membership. I AM SO IMPRESSED with this Dojo. My daughter loves it so much. She looks forward to going to class 3 times a week. My daughter is shy and she has the tendency to be bullied because she doesn't know how to stand up for herself and I am confident that Master O will help her get out of shell and equip her with the proper skills to stand up to any aggressors. Master O has a promotion right now where your child can try a month of martial arts for only $24. You read that right!!! $24!!! A month is a sufficient time to determine if this dojo is for your child or not. After our first day, I already knew we will be with Master O for a while. The aura in the dojo is so light and it has a family vibe that you just feel so comfortable to be in. As soon as you step in the building, you will feel welcomed like a family. I cant say enough good things about this dojo. You gotta experience it yourself. REGISTER! You wont regret it.

I came into Dojo on a Groupon, and trained with Brandon/Martial arts expert/Kung Fu/Brazilian Jiu…read moreJitsu master for several weeks. The studio is located in Noda, a few blocks away from the new Harris Teeter. I was very impressed with Brandon's teaching style/method, the classes, his overall outlook, and positive-centered approach to training. The cool thing about Brandon is that he can either plan a regimented routine, or make up an impromptu session without a lot of forethought. I came in with a group of friends, giving Brandon only a few days notice, and he was able to execute a training session with us, as beginners, and his other, advanced practice students in the same class. He also keeps you motivated and driven, without being stern or harsh. He has a very easygoing. pleasant nature, and in spite of his advanced background, he teaches on a fundamental basis for those who are new to these types of activities. I felt challenged with each class, but not overly so. And I felt that I became better conditioned during the weeks that I trained here. They play a nice eclectic mix of music, which enhances the workout. It does get hot in the studio in the summer, because the a/c is either not working, or is not going full force, but this unpleasantry can be avoided if you go in the fall, when it is not hot outside. There is not a lot of parking, but we were not affected, as the class size was fairly small, and not a lot of people were there during our sessions, but parking could be a problem if the class sizes increase. If you can catch him during a class when his son (who is 2 or so) in the studio with Mom, you'll get the added bonus of watching Brandon do some backflips/ mid-air flip jumps, and handstands, which he is apparently teaching to his son!

Were so great with the kids and kept them entertained the entire time. They showed tricks and wowed the guests, let each guest chop a board, and even helped the birthday boy cut his cake with a giant samurai sword. This will go down as my favorite birthday party for sure. I was so impressed with the two instructors. Although they were only 16 years old, you'd be hard pressed to find more engaging instructors. They seriously blew me away. Extremely well spoken and friendly, they remembered every single child name. They were welcoming, attentive, And even helped me set up. I think they even had all of the parents paying close attention to the instruction. And so many of the parents commented on how impressed they were as well. Such a fantastic job!!!

Their love for the arts and sharing all they know is truly amazing. They encourage you to personalize your jiu jitsu not just do it like they do. They know we all have different bodies and abilities and the best way for one person to execute a move may not be the best for the next. They offer a great price for all their classes and even have great kids and women only classes too. They are a family run business and believe that God and family always come first. I followed them on their new business adventure and my jiu jitsu game has become so much stronger. I highly recommend you come out for your free 1st class and become part of the family!
