I love the ease and flexibility of scheduling where we can choose what days and times best for us.... sometimes that changes from week to week, but it is always easy to schedule on the app. My kids really love the teachers. The teachers vary from day to day, but they are all caring and energetic, and my kids benefit from their different teaching styles. Tom Vo's is a safe place for kids of all ages and levels to learn Tae Kwon Do. They learn perseverance, respect, diligence, and self control in a fun environment. We love Tom Vo's!!

My two boys, ages 8 and 12, have been training at A-Team for the past three years. Master Ali,…read moreCoach CJ, and Coach Luis are great mentors, not just to my boys but to all the kids there. Master Ali and his coaching staff go beyond teaching BJJ. They teach discipline, self-confidence, communication skills, and life lessons like how to deal with bullies. When demonstrating a technique, they ask the kids questions about it to keep them engaged and make sure they're paying attention. Everything at A-Team is earned, nothing is given. Stripes and belts aren't handed out just because you pay the monthly fee. When a kid makes a mistake, the coaches correct it; when a kid performs well, they get a compliment that reinforces their confidence. The coaches run a tight ship and don't let the kids run wild. I would highly recommend A-Team to any parents who want to help their kids learn self-defense and build self-confidence and discipline.

From the moment I stepped onto the mats, Professor Ali, Coach Luis, Coach Chris, and all the students made me feel completely at home.

Whether you live locally in the area or are just passing through and looking to drop in for a roll, do yourself a favor and check out A-Team. Can't wait to come back!

It was hard to find the school on Yelp but I finally found it by typing in the name of the school…read more I came to this school 3 years ago and was rejected because my son was only 3 and half, I enrolled him in a Taekwondo school nearby and after 3 years he got his black belt. After many thousands of dollars I realized my son didn't gain much from it. I came back to this school and enrolled and it's been about 5 months and I have to admit he's learned more in these 5 months than the 3 years at the other school. Not only is he learning much more but his confidence level has improved especially his social skills - being such a shy kid. I see that he actually enjoys and look forward to going to Kung Fu class. I like this school in that it has many instructors so your kid gets the attention as opposed to the old school where's there's too many students and only one instructor. I also like that they teach in Vietnamese where they learn the names of the forms and every move. Even better is their price is cheapest of all schools I've been to, no test fees! I highly recommend this martial school for your kids!

Grandmaster Ly Hong Thai knows them and shares them. In fact, maybe he shares too many of them as it it easy to get overwhelmed here but it is a satisfying feeling that there is going to be something new to learn every time you come here. There is so much to learn here that you can actually pick a sub-specialty within the style, nei kung for strength, chi kung for energy and healing, several different fighting specialties even ones designed for specifically females and children. After a while you can also ask to learn about acupuncture, acupressure and herbal medicine and treatments. No matter what style or techniques you prefer, if you come here this undefeated Grandmaster will make you better.

The place that allows me to be the ass kicking person that I am today. .. Just kidding. I think…read more I came to Hong-Gia thinking I'd learn to kick some butt but it actually offered me more than I could ever imagine. After taking Tae Kwon Do and Aikido, I felt like everything was so systematic and couldn't really prepare me for anything that occurred in real life. Hong-Gia is a Taoist Kung-Fu type of martial arts that was taught in the monasteries on an island off of Vietnam called La Phu Son. The basics of this style are to develop body protection and strength. I've taken a few martial arts but Hong-Gia is the one that never emphasized on how high you kicked or how hard you could break something. Everything is fluid and comes with ease. Breathing is a very important concept to this style. But in the end you could do some amazing damage. It was never a competition in anything..we were taught certain movements and what positions to take if in an uncompromising position. The 10 years I was there, I studied nei kung and qikong. Nei kung gave me strength and qikong gave me focus and better physical and mental health. I also studied the snake style as well as double sword, single sword and dao. I had severe asthma as a kid and after a few years at Hong-Gia, I now live an inhaler-less life! They offer courses for adults and children and at $60 adults, $30 kids a month (you could go unlimited), it really is a good deal. Hong-Gia is taught both in English and Vietnamese and Hong-Gia actually has locations all over the world including Russia. I'm kinda bummed I no longer have time to practice but if you do want to learn a martial arts that isn't all about rules and limitations and you want to learn how to handle/defend yourself in real life situations, Hong-Gia can definitely teach you it!

chose this academy because it's close to my house and a friend invited me to try it out. I had…read moreabsolutely no knowledge of kickboxing, so I thought this would be a place where I could learn from the beginning, especially since I was hoping Nam Phan would guide beginners like me. But honestly, my experience was very bad. I came on a Saturday and arrived about 20 minutes early. When I told him I had never trained in martial arts or kickboxing before, instead of giving me basic guidance, he seemed annoyed that I didn't know anything. Then he told me to warm up by myself. When I came back, there was only one other student there, and that person had only been training for about a month. But the person who actually showed me what to do was that student, not Nam Phan. During training, Nam Phan briefly demonstrated a few moves and then told me to practice with the other student as if I had already been training for a long time. I was a complete beginner, so it was honestly very difficult to keep up. Throughout the entire session, he only corrected me once, but kept yelling loudly at me whenever I made mistakes. I felt extremely uncomfortable but still tried to continue training. Since it was my first class, I also didn't know what I needed to prepare. Before I came, he specifically told me I didn't need to bring anything. But when training started, he suddenly asked if I had boxing gloves. When I said no, he threw the gloves he was holding onto the ground aggressively and asked in an irritated tone why I didn't prepare anything. Throughout the whole session, the way he spoke and his attitude made me feel like I was being scolded for not knowing anything instead of being guided as a beginner. He spoke Vietnamese very quietly and unclearly, so many times I couldn't even understand what he was saying. That training session made me feel extremely bad and uncomfortable. I came in wanting to try and learn a new sport, but instead I only felt pressure and negativity from beginning to end.

If your goal is to be a serious or well-rounded fighter, this may not be the right environment. Overall, it wasn't a good experience for me. My advice is to invest your money in a place that truly provides value for your training and your life.. Was not a good experience for me and my friends. 1 star.
