The academy has taught my children diverse life lessons including character, values, meaningful relationships, dicipline, and helped them progress academically. I cannot truly put into words how much this school has done for my family. Master Surrency is a great teacher, mentor, and a friend to his students. And he has some good people in his team. On another note, you cannot put a number on a valuable community. We have just moved to another state and martial arts is a lot more expensive and they dont offer the after school program. Fastkicks is the best program if you are enrolling your children in the area especially if they are attending schol. Give them a call and you will be glad you did.

Grand Master Yung Ho Jun, founder of Ko Am Mu Do, is incredibly active in instructing classes (even at 85 years old!). There is truly no better or more qualified person to learn TKD from in the US, or world (seriously look him up). I started taking lessons here when I was around 5 years old with my family. My family has continued to train here throughout the following decades (I'm nearly 40 now) and love it just as much as when we first started. My entire family started as white belts and most achieved their black belt or beyond. The instructors are patient, kind, and experienced. You get the benefits of working in groups but also having break-out one on one style sessions during the group classes so that you can really learn the skills you're working on in the correct way. It was a great way to bond as a family and be engaged with our community. I highly recommend Yung Ho Martial Arts School for anyone serious about learning TKD. The community of students and instructors is perfect for all levels and ages, ensures an excellent workout while also teaching the values, beauty, and principles of Taekwondo. Plus they are located right in the heart of Tampa just off of 275 making it convenient to access from almost anywhere in Tampa. Definitely worth the drive.

And that meant that my kids were supervised and entertained from 7:30am until 5:15pm. Yay! They do the "typical" summer camp stuff that you don't really get to do in urban Tampa - canoeing, archery, zip lining/ropes course. They also went swimming, played basketball and soccer, did arts and crafts. No screen time, which was a relief compared to so many camps that show movies during lunch or allowed kids to use personal devices during camp hours. My 8 and 10 year olds had great time. Breakfast and lunch are provided, although my kids complained about their low quality and brought their food after the first day. This is really a great resource for working parents as so many camps are only from 9 to 3.

He also attends their afterschool program, Kid Day Out when schools are closed, takes swimming lessons, horseback riding and participates in Run Club all at YMCA Camp Cristina. It is his Happy Place! They are very responsive and quick to respond when we have questions or concerns. I generally send an email and within a few hours I have receive a reply or phone call.

They cover the fundamentals of Tae Kwon Do and keep it fresh on a weekly basis. The classes are well organized. Kids are always interacting, respectful and seem to always have fun. The after school program runs for an hour Monday-Friday. An hour of Martial arts lessons followed by Homework time. No Tae Kwon Do on Fridays, kids get to play and socialize. Program runs for $55 per week if you choose to drop off your child yourself, or you can do $75 a week to include transportation from school. Once a month they do Parent night out aka Friday fever. Kids stay until 10pm, enjoy games, pizza, etc... It's a good time, still, at $30 a head, I find it a bit much. They do stretches, and martial art drills on a daily basis, I'd like to see a little more exercising though... push ups, crunches, etc. Have yet to try their summer program, it sounds very promising.

If you want to get some self-defense training for yourself or someone that you care about, then…read morestop looking any further and give Rod Scott from Intense Defense a call! We own a boutique hair salon in Downtown Danville and after getting several harassing phone calls from a weirdo, we decided to get some self-defense training for our entire staff, as we truly consider them all family. So the search began for a reputable trainer...and it went on for over a week just trying to get someone to call us back! Then I realized, why not try looking for a great instructor on Yelp? And that's where we found Rod Scott! He promptly returned our call on a Friday morning and scheduled a private session with all of our stylists for that following Monday morning! Rod was 10-minutes early and did the training at our location, so he could see what challenges our specific location posed from a security perspective. I never would have thought of this, but as Rod explained, it doesn't make much sense to hold self-defense classes in a gym or studio environment, when instead he can come to your location and see things through the eyes of an attacker and then educate you on how to defend yourself accordingly! Our 3-hour class was incredible and all of our stylists left with the same high level of confidence that they are now empowered to protect themself in any situation. I should point out that in addition to Rod teaching you all of the various physical aspects, strategic moves and pressure points that will fend off a would-be attacker, he also does 1 hour of common sense interactive lecture that really opens your eyes to how to eliminate yourself as a target in the first place and how to be MUCH more aware of your surroundings than what you are now...even if you thought you already were aware, trust me! Bottom line, if you are truly interested in the best self-defense training available for yourself or someone you care about, then give Rod Scott a call. There is no doubt that the 3-hours you spend with him could be the difference between you becoming a statistic or not! As a true testament to how great this class was, 3 of our stylists are scheduling classes for their family members to attend Rod's training! Honestly, if we could have given Rod Scott 10-Stars we would have!
