This is the best martial arts school in northeast Ohio. When I first moved to Ohio I was looking…read morefor a school to begin training. I visited multiple schools in the Cleveland area. This school was by far above the others. The atmosphere and instructors were all friendly. This place truly feels like a family. And compared to other schools this is not a belt factory. The instructors are truly knowledgeable and care about the students and their success both within the school as well as in their lives outside of school. This is a school that is above all others. I HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone looking to train in the martial arts or to get in shape or be somewhere that feels like family.

No real self defense. False advertising(Sign claims Muay…read moreThai and MMA lessons. Neither one of these offered.) Instructors only pay attention to higher ranked students. Barely any attention given to beginner ranked students Higher ranked students have an 'Us vs Them" mentality regarding lower ranked students. Classes are 45 minutes, 20-30 of which is warming up. Leaving little time for actual martial arts. Probably a good school for children under 8-10. If you're looking to start a Martial Arts journey as an adult, avoid this glorified gym class at all costs. Save your money and go to a real martial arts school

I am a member of Asian Sun and although I typically attend classes at the Green, OH location, I…read morehave been up to the Brecksville-Broadview Heights location on occasion. The facilities are very large, open, and very clean! The staff (Master Plain and his assistant instructors) are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! They push you hard to do your best and succeed! As a matter of fact, if it were not for Master Green, former head instructor and manager of the Green, OH location (he moved out of state or he would still be there!) and Master Plain of this location, I would not have the knowledge, skills, and discipline required of me to earn my 1st Dan Blackbelt back in December 2017! All Asian Sun locations practice the WTF format (World Taekwondo Federation) under the tutelage of world class instructor 8th Degree Master Andrachik. This particular location offers children and family classes, as well as Tiger Tots for the littles, children's only classes, and classes specifically for children 10 and under. In the mornings (M-R & S) they offer either TRX Body Blast or Cardio Fit Kickboxing, depending on the day. On the weekends they also offer Cho Dan Bo and Blackbelt only classes, Blackbelt Club classes, and Level 1 Team training! If it's your first time trying out Taekwondo, I suggest you call and make an appointment so you can get one-on-one attention from Master Plain, however, they do not mind if you drop in and ask about their classes!

Asian Sun in Broadview Heights was awesome until this week. The former teacher Master Plain was…read moreawesome with the tiger tots!! He was commanded respect yet the tiger tots learned a lot and really had fun. The kids used to be engaged the entire class.The new teacher that started this week has made going to Asian Sun unbearable. There is far less skills being taught to the tiger tots now then with Master Plain. Class now consists of students sitting for much more of the class with a major underutilization of the other helpers in the class. In the past students would be broken into groups based on ability and split between the different teachers. Now the other teachers just sit with the students as one student at a time is participating in an activity. Honestly I believe Asian Sun could go back to being a great place for tiger tots however not with the current teacher. Update: I am glad we received a refund and can move on to a new place that will continue the progress we saw under Master Plain. The owner seems like a nice guy, but he is blinded by his loyalty to the new teacher. Yes the new teacher has many accolades in the martial arts world, however that does not make you a good teacher or coach. I am very thankful for everything Master Plain did for my son! I know we will not find another Master Plain. I wish him all the best as he moves on unfortunately for Asian Sun I believe many other people will now leave now. I truly believe the new teacher could have learned a lot from Master Plain when she shadowed however her ego got in the way.

I paid them $100 for 10 classes around the time that Covid hit and I couldn't go and by the time I could I wasn't able to because of my schedule. They never refunded me $100.

Krav Maga Training Academy is the best place to go if you want to learn self defense and be able to protect yourself and your family. Krav is practical, real world, street application defense and offense instead of a sport martial art. You will learn to defend yourself, get in better shape and have a good time doing it surrounded by a lot of interesting people. As a woman I can't recommend KMTA highly enough or stress how important places like this are for those serious about their personal responsibility for their own safety.

Over the years, I've seen a few schools of martial arts come and go, and I've had a few teachers,…read morebut few have ever struck me as loving what they do as much as Guro Tony Marcial. The head teacher -"Guro" in his native language,- of the Philippine Martial Arts Institute, a school that's part of the Westlake Martial Arts Center, his style is known as Marcial Tirada Kali, and is defined as follows; "The Kali system "Marcial Tirada" taught at the Philippine Martial Arts Institute, is a composite of different Kali styles taught primarily in the Pangasinan region of The Philippines. The primary weapons taught in the Marcial Tirada Kali System are single and double stick, knife and stick & dagger. In the Art of Kali, the practitioner will learn weaponry first. This type of training develops awareness, sensitivity, coordination & quick reflex action. The Kali practitioner learns the empty hand after he or she has developed an understanding of the concepts of weapon fighting. A practitioner of Kali will be taught all ranges of empty hand fighting." The classes at the school are taught, currently, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and are intense, interesting and are taught in a way that encourages learning on the highest level. EVERY class is like a mini-seminar. I've learned a ton, and then some, with each class, and if you want to learn a street effective style, with applications that will make you into a "Bourne" fighter, than I suggest contacting Guro Tony and coming by; you won't regret it. Trust me, after just one class, you'll never look at rattan as just furniture material ever again:) (Just a note, the classes are great, but I would suggest that anyone younger than early teens might not be suitable for them, due to certain aspects of the training.)
