    Nice place to train! I was visiting Seattle on a work trip and I stopped by for a drop in class, everyone was welcoming and friendly.

    I didn't have a great experience at this Krav Maga class. The instructor didn't introduce himself…read moreor the structure of the class and went straight into training, which felt unwelcoming, especially as a beginner. New students were immediately paired with much more experienced people without any guidance, which made it hard to keep up and honestly a bit discouraging. The teaching style made me feel more confused than supported, and at times I felt talked down to rather than coached. Overall, it wasn't a good first impression and didn't feel beginner-friendly.

I gave him my credit card…read morenumber, and after I stopped taking classes with him he started charging me without letting me know. I asked for a refund, he acknowledged what had happened, but he ignored my repeated requests. So that tells you what you need to know about how far you can trust the business owner. Attached is a screen cap of the text chat where he acknowledged the error & offered to send a check, but in the months since then he has ignored me. Instead of sending me a check, he lied about remembering that I wanted to take more classes from him. PS: Within hours of my posting this review, they contacted me and have now made good on the erroneous charges. It took 18 months from when I first emailed them to getting a check. Good luck.

    I can't praise them enough!!!…read more My oldest son was being bullied in the 2nd grade, which lead to a lack of confidence and a lot of anxiety. He was having a hard time in school and showing signs of depression at just seven years old. We knew of Ms. Mari's because my Nephew and Sister were former students who loved training there. They run a two month trial which allows you to see if this is something you would like to commit to. This deal is AMAZING! Two months of lessons with a uniform for just $99. I signed up both my seven and five year old sons and never looked back. One of the best parenting decisions I have made. My oldest has gained considerable confidence and belief in himself, while my five year old son is showing more respect and curbing his quick temper. They show the Tae Kwon Do moves and also explain the way you would use them in a real life application. If a student is in need of more assistance with a specific move they will have an instructor, or peer with a higher belt work solo with them to ensure that they get it. Do not hesitate to try Ms. Mari's! She's an amazing instructor and anyone fortunate enough to train with her should consider themselves lucky.

We love it because it is close to…read morehome, provides school pick up (and drop off if needed), they provide after school care during conference week and often have day camps when school is out (spring break, Xmas break, summer break). Ms Mari and her staff are kind but firm and our boys are learning skills for self defense as well as self confidence. This year our oldest has joined the leadership team which will continue his personal growth. For us it is an after school care option that provides physical activity with discipline. We highly recommend this dojang for your kiddos.

A year and a half ago, it was time to finally introduce my then 6 year old son to Taekwondo and decided to join The Way Martial Arts Center after a great trial class experience. I have been extremely impressed with everything The Way has to offer, from the great facility to the instructors who are just amazing with the kids! They make classes fun and engaging, while also teaching respect, integrity, discipline and confidence, which has done wonders for my child. They also offer teen and adult classes which motivated me to get back into it! The thing I love most about The Way is the community that Master Nini has built amongst the students and their families. From student summer camps and parents night out events to birthday parties, family classes and dojang fantasy football leagues, this is NOT a common "McDojo"... It's a place to grow physically and mentally, learn how to live with a positive "black belt attitude", and to meet amazing people who want to see you succeed, whatever your goals are!

    My 7 year old started Han Mu Do in late August of 2024. I've been looking around to find a…read moredefensive style of martial arts for awhile (I wanted him to learn Aikido or Hapkido). I saw this place being recommended by many of the local moms in the Maple Valley/Covington Mom group on facebook, so I checked out their website and found that Han Mu Do incorporates Aikido/Hapkido in their teaching! I contacted Washington Han Mu Do for my son to attend the trial class. My son loved the trial class, and he wanted to continue (He is one of the most undecisive kid on this earth, and him wanting to continue is a big deal). It's been almost 2 months since he started, and he loves the classes. The environment is very family friendly and they teach the kids respect and discipline in addition to martial arts (which my son needs badly). Their prime location is also what sealed the deal for us. They are located within close distance from the local elementary schools, which makes it convenient to take my son to the class after picking him up from the after school program. In the same center, there is Taco Time and McDonalds just across the street for easy dinner after the class.

    Long time customer…read more Good place if you want a workout other than the gym and kickboxing. Not so great if you want a mix of the physical and mental, yin and yang, contrary to the yin-yang symbol incorporate into their logo. While Han Mu Do is a good form of martial arts, the Maple Valley location is the only location in Washington State. You will likely start over if you leave. With only a few licensed instructors, mature students are often relied upon heavily to lead lower students and classes. Favorites are compensated, others are not. As a result, the schedule is not reliable due to leader availability. Unlike Washington Han Mu Do, other martial arts studios often include some aspects of Asian philosophy, such as an active focus on the balance between mind and body, meditation as part of the session, and understanding that spirit and body need to be in harmony. This studio is about forms, sets, and workouts. Repeat. Overall, a good cost to experience ratio when compared to a gym or other exercise place. But is that really what you wanted to do when you join a martial arts studio?
