He has had a number of instructors, and they've all added to his coffer of martial arts knowledge on his way to his black belt. The current lead instructor (Mr Mike) is a dedicated fourth degree black belt who is pouring into these students with skill, knowledge, and relational currency that is paying in dividends. I have seen so much growth in so many students at the dojo this year. It's been a great confidence booster too! Honestly I've been pretty enamored with all the instructors we've experienced over the last (nearly) two years. We began our journey into PMA as a means to add more physical activity and discipline into our kid's lives, and it has been exceeding our expectations ever since. If you are looking for a way to incorporate exercise that is accompanied by fun (first and foremost), friendships, and future awesomeness, this is the place for you (yes they have adult classes too) and your family!

My daughter started at HK Taekwondo as a Tiger (5 years old) and over the last five years has…read moreearned her Red Belt. HK Taekwondo has been the one to take her through this entire journey so close to reaching the top. HK Taekwondo is probably the best experience I've not only had with a martial arts studio, is has been and still remains one of the best family owned businesses I've ever had experiences with. Master Kim and his Teachers are firm, consistent, teach discipline but not through aggression or anger rather sternness and firmness at a level the child can comprehend and understand. I believe this is why over the last five years, I have seen other kids also grow up in the same program. If you want to start this journey as adult or with your child I very much highly recommend this school. PS - I also know this school follows guidelines and teaching standards for a path to the Olympics.

Most of the high reviews are from years ago…read more Master Kim, the owner, is missing and rarely interacts with students. The instructors are hit or miss. If you get one of the 2 that actually teach they have different approaches that contradict each other. A 3rd teacher is a student that has no business teaching. He has no leadership ability and the students have no respect for him. At one point in 2022 their main instructor at the time went on vacation and then was out sick for an extended time. During that time, the owner, master Kim was still no where to be found and the classes were taught by students. When the instructor came back most of the classes were a disobedient mess. No one was prepared for that round of testing so they had the students repeat the previous test since they went 2 months without learning anything. When you look at the calendar it is packed with classes, but that is not up to date. They teach multiple experience levels at the same time in a relatively tiny studio. There is no common space, for parents, gear, backpacks or shoes. Just a narrow walkway with a row of benches right off the mat. Students get close enough to hit spectators. Kids are stacked too close to each other and run into each other while practicing forms. There is so much confusion about which class is at each time, you almost always end up with lower belts in the advanced class. They take 30 minutes to warmup, split into groups, maybe do 5-10 minutes of Taekwondo, and then spend the last 15 minutes of class playing a kids game like tag or jump rope. The week before each test they realize how under prepared most students are and suddenly get serious. They need everyone to sign up for the test because it is a revenue generator. You get to the test, where master Kim makes an appearance. His rambling and confusing comments drag the event beyond the expected time, usually running an hour late for 1 hour time blocks. The test devolves into him referring to everyone as "you" since he doesn't know any of his students names. He starts teaching a class during the test. It is really more judgement on the poor quality of instructors rather than the students trying to pass. The parents sit there asking themselves where this level of instruction has been the prior 3 months. Ultimately the students try multiple times, take breaks to have 1 on 1 training sessions before they try again. Eventually after enough attempts most of them pass. I wrote this review while sitting at a belt test, watching multiple students fail even though they required a testing form to be signed in advance by an instructor, acknowledging they were ready. Master Kim determines if the kids pass the test, but the instructors somehow have no idea what his standards are. In the weeks leading up to the test, us and other families were requesting help on specific aspects of the test but the help provided by the instructor (who is actually a student on the performance team) was minimal and provided no constructive feedback. Over half of the students failed and the owner told those families that he would personally guarantee to work with them for 2 weeks and they would retest and pass. From Friday to Tuesday master Kim forgot about the promise he made. It turned into assigning a different instructor to work with them which turned into students (who were not instructors or black belts) working with the kids for about 15 minutes in one of the classes. The most frustrating part of the re-test was an instructor telling the kids if they worked "this hard" before the original test they would have passed the first time. Absolutely disconnected, if the instructors were consistent every class, rather than just the week before a test, their students would have actually been prepared. But keep letting the kids run around playing tag with pool noodles.

Let me preface by saying I never write bad reviews. But for safety reasons I had to write this one,…read moreand if you don't have time to read it all let me just start by saying please just go literally anywhere else for your child's safety. So first of all, there are 4 larger water slides. And probably 3 or so smaller ones. They have a total of 2 lifeguards on watch. One lifeguard sits at a chair "watching over" the smaller, right side of the park. And the other one switching between the top of the larger water slides every so often depending on which is busier. There are multiple lifeguards but only 2 out on the park floor at a time, all very young teenagers. Not a single adult working there. I think that is a huge problem in itself but let me go on. I watched my 4 yr old like a hawk the whole time we were there because the lifeguards obviously weren't paying attention, lots of older kids running around, etc. I watch my son go down the larger slide. I'm waiting at the bottom for him for 5 minutes. Still hasn't came out. I go to the top to look down the slide where there should've been a lifeguard but no one to be found. I go to the lifeguard sitting in the chair at the front and tell him that my 4 yr old went down and has not came out yet and I think he's stuck in the slide. He ARGUES WITH ME and says "no I've been watching and there's no one in the slide" UMMMM WHAT?!! Obviously realizing they could care less about my child or any children there, and I don't have time to argue because I'm worried about my 4 yr old, I rush back to the top of the slide and go down it and what do u know, my son was stuck in the middle of the pitch black loop of the slide, terrified and crying. This is totally unacceptable, I don't even have words. Hopefully that's enough to let you know this is not the place to go but if not, let me move on to my next complaint. There was a group of older kids constantly trying to climb up the larger water slides in the back that no one can see unless you walk back there. Which in the 3 hours I was there not one lifeguard walked back there or even glanced to check on anything. The first time I notified the lifeguard about the kids going up the slide, she went back there and told them that's not allowed. Then they kept doing it and multiple other parents complained as well. The second time I complained that they were still doing it and almost seriously injured my 4 yr old, the lifeguard said "oh I know I already told them to stop". Ummmm okay??? So you're just going to keep letting them do it putting all the other kids at danger?? At MINIMUM their parent should've been notified but in my opinion they should've been asked to leave after the 3rd complaint/telling them to stop. Honestly I could go on and on but I don't have all day. I truly just hope they increase the amount of lifeguards and hire experienced lifeguards that actually care about children's safety and at minimum have one adult employee on-site.

But the worst part was my son got hurt on there smallest slides. He thought it was clear. No one told him otherwise, and he went down, collided with some kids that were messing around at the bottom and then proceeded to hit his head on the slide. He had a huge goose egg that resulted in a ER visit. The manager came over and was asking what happened. My biggest turn off was before she really asked how my son was, she asked if we had signed the waiver. I'm not saying this place isn't great for most people, but I personally won't be returning.

Now that the water level is so high, it just becomes a cliff. Easy to get in, just jump. But climbing out, can get a little tricky. Picking a trail to go down can be tricky. Of course you want to give people their private space. You need a spot where you can lay out on a blanket. And getting out of the water easily where you don't have to be rescued. I needed rescuing last time, and luckily I was able to get in and out fine on my own. The second time a gentleman was walking past, and offered his hand to help me out. People are just so friendly here. I met two gentleman separate occasions. Very nice. Apparently they are regulars here. Water was choppy again. It's hard to just float and relax.

The filtered review of this business by Amy K. is patently ridiculous. My family and I have been at PPMA for more than a year and have been at all or most of the classes/events offered. This is a wonderful environment for children to learn not just martial arts, but confidence, goal-setting, responsibility, perseverance, focus, respect, discipline, etc. My 3 children will continue to benefit from this fantastic program. Let me address each issue raised by Amy K.: 1. There is a contract to sign, but you are certainly not pressured to sign the contract. The contract is there so that the business can have an expectation of revenues in a given month and see your commitment to your child's or your own growth. You CAN get out of your contract at anytime - the contract includes an escape clause that is 3 months tuition to terminate. Writing many contracts for my own business, I consider this to be very reasonable. 2. I have never seen excessive force used on any children and I partipate in all the classes with my kids. This is ridiculous. There is tough love here, but ABSOLUTELY NO PHYSICAL ABUSE or EXCESSIVE FORCE. 3. I have never had trouble accessing any of the employees of PPMA including Masters Schill and Bastin. 4. PPMA does not suck the life out of children. In fact, it does just the opposite - teaching them respect, perseverance and responsibility...tools for life. From this, the children learn to have confidence in their abilities, not just in martial arts, but in life. Not only that, the kids actually LOVE training at PPMA. They look forward to quarterly belt promotions night and parties as rewards for their hard work. A lot is asked of the kids enrolled at PPMA, but they are always rewarded for their hard work. You should consider this martial arts studio above all others for all the reasons listed above. Additionally, you would be glad to know that they are not trading belts for your tuition money as some martial arts studios will do. They are teaching children and adults to EARN each belt. read more

Peak Performance helped me become a better parent. Coming out of a divorce, I felt lost and I know I was not there for my children. I was looking into YMCA when my mother found Peak Performance Martial Arts. We went in to the school and talked with Gary Schill. The program seemed amazing. I loved that certified instructors and teachers were employed. They all seemed to love and believe in what they do. It has now been two years that my children have been going to peak. Their commitment to my children is truly something I cannot be more thankful for. During a time when things were very fluid, the Peak staff was solid. They were always reliable and kept the lines of communication concerning my children open. When we joined Peak, my son was having anger issues and my daughter gave up on almost everything. Their program gave my son a safe physical outlet and my daughter started gaining confidence. The staff at peak teach about respect, honor, and responsibility. In watching and communicating with them, I have learned to respect my own children as the people they are growing into. I have also learned my responsibility as a parent. We are here to guide our children... to teach our children that every choice has an outcome... and to hold them accountable for the choices they make: GOOD or BAD. Peak Performance is not just an after school program or a martial arts academy. It is a safe place were children (and adults for that matter) can learn to be upstanding respectful people. I can absolutely say without a shadow of a doubt, Peak turned my children's life and my life around. read more

Love this place. Very knowledgeable instructors, more than just a training school for self defense. It's life changing Curriculum for a more well rounded being. I couldn't begin to tell you the ways the instructors here and Master Schill have helped me and my family. I've seen miraculous things happen here. I've seen children that were heading down the wrong path in life making terrible grades in school and acting out in every way possible transformed into honor roll students and change their attitude into a more positive outlook on life and what they can achieve in a matter of months. And at the same time they enjoyed it and couldn't wait to go back to the next class each time. As for myself. If you had known me before I started here you would not think I was the same person. It's not just a training program. It's a LIFE CHANGER, the lessons I've learned here personally and the philosophical change in my outlook at life was a permanent change in my personality and my perspective of SELF. I could probably write a book on the ways Peak Performance has changed me and others I've known but I'll spare you and just say if you're on the fence go ahead and cross over. read more

Enrolled my girls in the Peak Performance Martial Arts (PPMA) school at the beginning of the school year and I can honestly say its one of the best things we have done for them. My girls are 3 and 5 and have really adapted well to the program. We visited a number of different afterschool programs and martial arts schools. The approach delivered by PPMA is like nothing else we have seen. My wife and I even started training with them. The instructors are all excellent. They work with the kids to keep them focused and improve many of the social skills not taught in the classroom today. As you watch the classes with the older students (ages 7-13) you will quickly see that there is a level of discipline unmatched by many of the other programs. The kids are highly focused and dedicated. My kids have displayed significant improvements in their martial arts skills, focus and manners even at their young age. If you are looking for an after school program or martial arts academy you need to give a serious consideration to Peak Performance Martial Arts. read more

I would highly recommend Peak Performance. We have been with Peak Performance for over 7 years. Besides participating in martial arts, my child also participate in the after school and summer camp programs. I like the fact that they have a school teacher and a nurse on staff. We first came to Peak when my child was being bullied at school I felt that the school gave us the generic response to the issue. We heard that the owner had an anti bully summer program and wanted to find out more. We signed him up for the 3 day class. After the class, Master Schill took extra time to discuss my child's particular situation with us. My son finally felt that someone other than his parents believed him. Over the years I have seen his confidence grow. We really appreciate all that they do. read more

My nephew absolutely loves Master Schill and the rest of the staff at Peak Performance! He calls me every week to tell me about how much fun he has. It's been a big lift in his spirits and confidence since he started there earlier this year. read more

Fantastic family-focused karate academy. Encouraging and fun…read more Don't believe the review which says you can earn a black belt in less than a year. That's nonsense. There is challenge and solid training here for all who commit themselves.

Since I…read morehave been going here with my 5 year old step daughter, we have never once experienced "yelling and harsh talk" . We have never been "barked at". Culin karate was recommended to me and I will recommend them to any one. They entourage the parents to get involved and on the floor. What a great way to get involved with your children.

Yelp review Tiger…read morerock has been a great choice for an after school program for my kids. We wanted to do Martial Arts, and this place has several pros: -picks up my kids from their school (a charter school with fewer options than other schools in that regard). -reasonable prices and discounts on more than one child -they are friendly and fun teachers but also expect a lot from the kids -there is some downtime for kids to decompress from school (important for my kids' personalities); time for homework if needed, a TKD lesson, a workout, and some activities afterward available until parents pick up. -easy to contact with questions -if needed they also do camps for days off school (convenient) My kids are challenged here and really like working towards the various belt stripes and upcoming ranks. They have grown in confidence and some risk-taking in order to advance. I am pleased we signed up.

I can't rave enough about TKD Leander and the Looney's!! They are a wonderful family and have been…read morea blessing to ours!! Our boys love this place and have been attending after school, Summer Camp, and camps in between for about 3 years! I trust the Looney's not only teaching my boys some awesome TaeKwonDo skills but also life skills...like "yes sir, yes ma'am"!! I tell everyone about them!!

Mr Lacy and all the student instructors are very encouraging and helpful (especially for this mom with no martial arts knowledge). The little dragons program is for kids 4-6 and a great way to introduce the younger crowd to taekwondo.

Great place for your children or yourself to lean martial arts. The instructor is very clear and…read moreconcise. Especially with the children. We came here for our sons enchrichment class ceremony and I am amazed with the instructor on how well he teaches the children discipline. Especially those who want to be the class clowns. Very authoritive while being professional and polite to the children. He tells them to be respectful to the other children and allow them time to shine while they doing the moves. He explains in detail each martial art and and self defense to the children and adults around. I definitely liked being here watching the kids learn from the 64 year old instructor as he stated to us. He was very inspiring to them and provided words of encouragement to them. He would asked thinfs like in how many years are you going to be the next president to calm their nervousness and fear of not trying because of embarrassment. I was happy to show up today. I will say do not park in the two parking spots in front of it. It was very hard for me to get out their with a big vehicle on the other side.
