My daughter has been a student at Young Brothers TKD for over a year and I couldn't be happier…read more When Gemma started here she was an obnoxious 5yr old, she would hit, yell, blatantly not listen, and she really didn't care; all of this stemmed from some unfortunate traumas. My daughters TKD training has taught her to be disciplined, respectful, and recognized as one of the most well behaved kids in her entire school. Throughout Gemma's time at Young Brothers she has had countless injuries (none of which were caused by TKD) and they have encouraged her to persevere with modified exercise to prevent further injury. My daughter got a concussion due to a fall and her neurologist (for CPRS and the concussion), pediatrician, and orthopedic all recommended for her to continue TKD with modification. EVERY Master who has taught Gemma throughout her injuries has respected her limits, taught her to protect herself, and to do what she can all while she continues to learn. I drive 25m each way twice a week to take Gemma to Young Brothers and I wouldn't change it; if you want the best you have to pursue the best. I'm proud of my daughter for being a student at Young Brothers and I couldn't imagine her anywhere else.

Research the benefits of martial arts training. Then multiply those benefits by the advantage of…read moreEXCELLENCE in these instructors and their teaching styles. What they have established is truly exceptional! As an early childhood educator with over 17 years of professional experience, I highly recommend Classical Martial Arts. Children need good foundations to thrive. In my observation of the children's classes, not only are students getting the physical activity they need (and also often lacking in today's digital age), they are also learning in every area of development. Socially, they are learning respect and compassion for peers and how to work with others to accomplish goals. Emotionally, they are learning self respect, discipline, confidence, positive coping strategies, and the value of hard work and determination. Sensei Gaddis charismatically adds examples and anecdotes to help children make the connection between the lessons and principles of martial arts and relevant situations in their daily lives. For myself, I was very nervous if I could do this. As an adult, learning something new can be intimidating, and I have my share of personal obstacles. But the positive, supportive atmosphere of the class gives a confidence boost to determination in facing obstacles and overcoming them. I have always been an advocate of positive coping strategies. I believe people should always seek to learn and to improve themselves. The benefits of martial arts training for adults are numerous, and again, those benefits are greatly enhanced by the teaching style and distinct atmosphere established at Classical Martial Arts. Go discover your potential!

I listed three goals in that interview, and within a year of training with this school, I am confident in saying that I have met all three. If you want to learn a sport, there are great benefits to that, but that isn't what everyone is looking for. If you want to train in how to defend yourself from true violence or survive a real world emergency situation, I would stop into the dojo and talk to any of the instructors there at the time. This school can teach you the essence of what a martial art is, modern personal protection, traditional weapons and firearms, as well as other trainings offered through various seminars. Then they'll invite you to their fall camp and fill you will exceptional Chili and Sake. 5 stars.

You will not learn legitimate self-defense here. The "self-defense" techniques are against opponents that offer little to no resistance. Sparring is light to no contact. I'd say most of the people there have never taken a real punch or kick and have never been in a real fight. ZERO emphasis on ground fighting. Promotions are not based on merit. As long as you pay the fee you'll pass the test. In 5+ years I NEVER heard of anyone failing. Stick around for 4 years and you'll be a "black belt", whether you are skilled or not. I've seen kids under 10 years old get a black belt. 10 YEARS OLD!!!! What a joke. When you get higher in rank they'll pull you from your training in class to teach little brats that don't know their forms and don't want to be there, and for free no less, while you are paying expensive $$$ to train there. It's not cheap. If you are looking for legitimate self-defense look elsewhere.
