About 25 years ago I started my martial arts training with Master Cha at his original location in…read moreRidgewood. During that time I strained my back working outside as a young student-in explaining this to Master Cha, he encouraged me to learn how to breathe...So, I would spend classes sitting in a corner focusing only on breathing; those lessons served me very well for the rest of my life and allowed me to progress as a competition fighter with other instructors that focused purely on physical training. If you want thoughtful, wise instruction for your kids or for yourself as an adult new to martial arts look no further, Master Cha is a first class human being. And make no mistake, his lessons carry over to the street in case you find yourself in a corner and must fight your way out which is handy. To me, this has happened very rarely as his first lesson was to cross the street if I saw trouble in front of me. Smart man.

Master Doug, Coach JP, Coach Steve, and Coach Kristen are outstanding teachers and the patience shown to each person at all skill levels is amazing. Seeing my son do Taekwondo, I was inspired to get back on the mat when DP Martial Arts graciously offered a free month of training for dads in June. I've been doing Krav Maga for about six months now and enjoy it immensely. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn real-world self defense techniques and also get fitter and stronger doing it.

BEWARE !!!!! Be…read morecareful before you sign a contract. The company gives you a free week to let your kid try TaeKwonDo out. Once you sign up for a year, you are bound by the contract for an entire year. If your kid decides after two months that TaeKwonDo is not for them, too bad! You owe for an entire year. I never heard of such a thing. A one year contract is way too long. The costs are very expensive. I do not like the way this company does business.

Bill Stevens Karate is an excellent place for kids and adults to learn martial arts. My daughter…read moreand son have been coming here for quite some time. I also attend BJJ classes here. This family/community-oriented place teaches martial arts while reinforcing life lessons (ex., confidence, positive attitude, humility, etc.). There are many reasons why my wife and I chose this place. We chose this place primarily because Master Bill Stevens and his staff are great. They keep kids continuously engaged throughout each lesson. Another big plus is that his schedule is flexible, and he offers a wide variety of class times, which makes it easier for my wife and me to schedule lessons, given our busy schedules. Aside from this, I like the location, the app, and the place is clean. He periodically hosts Game Night on Friday, allowing my wife and me to grab dinner without the kids. Lastly, Bill is easy to work with and talk to if something unexpected arises. I recommend you check it out.

What I like the most is having the 'stripe policy' -- my child does not only get to exercise, learn about self defense and martial arts moves, but more importantly, he learns about the importance of good behavior, respect, listening to parents, helping out at home and doing good in school. Master Song is very accommodating and scheduling/rescheduling classes is always very easy. The price is affordable and really worth it because it's almost always like taking a private class. I'm glad to have found a really good TKD school for my child and I highly recommend this place.

Master Song is not only patient and caring of his students, but also very passionate about the development of his students and has a very hands on attitude. Master Songs ability to quickly pick up technique deficiencies can drive one crazy at times, but is critical if one cares about getting the techniques down early on in skills development. I was so pleased with the experience for my son, that I even joined for myself. Hope this review helps. I took one star off because I think the facilities could be improved (no mirror on the wall) - just trying to keep the review honest :)
