My kids have been going here for a couple months and realy enjoy it, and I can the results of their training. The really great thing about this school is the atmosphere. There is no arrogance or Rex-quan-do types here (Napoleon Dynamite). There is a school full of committed Martial Artists that train together and encourage each other, the way it should be. If you are looking for school for yourself or your kids this is defintely a place you want to check out.

Our son started attending Master Lee's school in 2019, and just recently received his black belt…read more The program has been incredible for him, building skills in Tae Kwon Do, but also cultivating patience, discipline, and respect. Master Lee's teaches the school, along with his wife and son. His other black belt students also assist in teaching, from helping in weekday classes, to teaching specific black belt and danbo classes on the weekend. Every instructor we have encountered shows kindness and respect, and clearly cares about the students they are working with. At the same time, they hold to the same standards and expectations set out by Master Lee. The school has been an amazing part of our family for more than seven years now, and we are so thankful to be part of the YS Lee family. We highly recommend Master Lee's school to kids and adults alike!

This guy is a snake oil salesman. I called to get information about classes and was told to come in…read morefor an in-person appointment. I showed up expecting to discuss training, only to spend the entire session being subjected to a sales pitch for his program. The meeting was largely about ranks, certificates, and why I should commit to his program--none of which I was interested in. I made it clear that I wasn't looking to treat TKD as a comprehensive system. I wanted to extract the useful kicking skills from TKD and incorporate them into a broader cross-training approach focused on practical stand-up skills. I had spent months researching and mapping out how I wanted to approach my training, including which skills I wanted from each martial art and how I could realistically manage the cost of multiple memberships. Rather than discuss those goals with me, he essentially acted as though he knew better than I did what was best for my training. I explained that my plan was to train different arts in blocks--for example, spending several months focusing on one art before rotating to another--partly because maintaining multiple martial arts memberships simultaneously can be expensive. He dismissed this approach as ineffective and a waste of my time. His position was essentially that simultaneous cross-training was the only effective way to train, completely disregarding the financial limitations that can make maintaining several memberships at once unrealistic. He then literally called me stupid because I wasn't willing to accept his approach and commit full-time to his program. Even more ridiculous, after I explained that my goal was practical stand-up fighting and that I wanted to avoid making ground fighting the centerpiece of my training, he recommended BJJ. That completely missed the point of what I had explained I was trying to accomplish. I also mentioned that I had some limited experience with JKD (Jeet Kune Do) and was interested in continuing to develop it. He dismissed JKD as ineffective for practical street fighting and claimed that former JKD students had performed poorly in his classes. I found those comments particularly dismissive, especially given that I was asking about my own training goals rather than asking him to endorse his personal opinion of other martial arts. I obviously can't verify his claims about those former students, and based on my own experience with JKD, I strongly disagree with his characterization of the art. I'm not interested in collecting ranks and certificates or spending years becoming invested in one particular system. I'm interested in extracting useful skills from different martial arts and putting them together in a way that makes sense for my goals. Apparently that wasn't acceptable unless I was willing to buy into his entire program. Aside from my experience with the instructor, I also found the overall atmosphere to have a very kiddie-corner, family-oriented vibe. That may be perfectly appropriate if you're looking for a place to put your kids after school and have them work toward ranks and certificates, but it wasn't what I was looking for as an adult seeking serious, practical training. That made the instructor's insistence that I abandon my own carefully considered training regimen and conform to his program even more ironic. I came away feeling like I had just been sold a package at a McDojang rather than given honest information about martial arts training. If you want to follow this instructor's system exactly as prescribed, maybe you'll have a different experience. But if you're looking to cross-train, have your own training goals, or simply ask questions without being pressured and insulted, I'd look elsewhere.

The masters are great with young and old kids. Even if these young kids are shy the masters get through to them and build their confidence. I've seen students go to being shy and not caring about there kicks to being very social and kicking with grate form. And the masters don't do this by being rude or being aggressive which I think is a stereotype of "breaking them down and building them back up" as they say but instead focus on being kind and slowly getting them out of their shell and Encouraging them to try new things. And if they aren't ready then that's ok to them. It is a great place to learn and get out of your comfort zone to reach new goals. I truly believe this is a great place and I am proud to say I have taken classes here for 2 years and am nearly a black belt-EP

But jujitsu is most practical of the martial arts to build self-confidence and truly be able to defend yourself in any real life confrontation. Andre is the owner of this facility and has been instructing kids for years. My only regret I have is that we only finally took the plunge a few months ago. Jujitsu is so not mainstream that I was reluctant for my children to give it a chance despite all the positive things I had heard. Now, My kids love it! The class sizes are small with personalized instruction. This is martial arts at its practical best! Great culture and community. If you want your child to build self-awareness, physical and mental strength, and learn a practical and useful martial art, this is The place!!

From our very first class, we could tell this was a truly special place. The instructors are incredibly energetic, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child. It's obvious that the students love being there, and it's amazing to see the confidence, pride, and sense of accomplishment they develop. At first, I was a little intimidated by the size of the classes and the fact that the more experienced students help teach the newer ones. It didn't take long to realize that's one of the things that makes this program so unique. The mentorship creates a supportive environment where everyone learns from one another, and the older students develop leadership skills while helping the younger ones succeed. Active does an exceptional job of blending respect, discipline, and confidence-building into a fun, positive, and welcoming atmosphere. I would wholeheartedly recommend Active to any family looking for an outstanding martial arts program for their child.
