This past week was teacher appreciation week. Everyone is quick to appreciate the teachers that…read moreour children have in their classroom, as tutors and for electives. We often over look the teachers that teach our kids in the most subtle and profound ways. I wanted to take a moment to recognize two of these teachers in my children's lives. Three of my four children have been attending Jin Martial Arts for almost a year. Master Brett and Master Jeff never fail to amaze me with how they teach, guide and run their school. Both Master Brett and Master Jeff have unwavering patience with children of all ages. I have had the pleasure of watching the Tiny Tornadoes class while my 6 year old was in it and their ability to keep 4 -6 year olds focused and showing respect is impressive. Master Brett has a remarkable way of speaking to kids, especially this younger age group. He speaks to them on their level while not speaking down to them and puts some of life's most valuable lessons in words that they can process and understand. Master Jeff is equally patient and kind. As the kids move up in classes, the expectations change while always remaining age appropriate. Students' personal growth is the focus. The growth I have seen in my children since starting classes at Jin Martial Arts has been tremendous. It goes without saying that they have grown physically, my 11 year old daughter can do push-ups. As a parent, the growth that may not be as obvious; confidence, respect, taking responsibility for their actions, treatment of siblings, just to name a few; is invaluable. Master Brett and Master Jeff truly care for their students and want to see them succeed, the theme being to improve yourself and try your best. They have created an environment that parents can feel welcome in and that we are all there to support each other and the students; they have created a village. It is hard to find words to describe the positivity and kindness that Master Brett and Master Jeff have created. Positivity and kindness feel like a cliche that doesn't fully explain the teaching style and community that is Jin Martial Arts. It is so much more than that. Master Brett and Master Jeff are true leaders and teach above all else by example of how they conduct themselves. They are teaching more than martial arts; they are teaching how to be better. They give our future hope. Watching them interact with our youth is refreshing and humbling. To Master Brett and Master Jeff, thank you. Thank you for all you do for our kids. It matters. -Emily Ciarletto (Landon, Valerie and Everett's mom)

They offer training that is tailor made for individual student. Strongly recommend for children who are looking to improve self esteem, confidence and focus. Master Park's graduate thesis was on combating childhood obesity. This is one of the program that stands out, in their curriculum, philosophy and approach. I had the opportunity to observe and interact with the trainers closely and they certainly are dedicated. Vigneswaran, MD, MBA

Our experience with Master…read moreLee has always been at the highest level of satisfaction, and my son adores the way he helped him through each step of the belt process. Master Lee is terrific with all ages and levels of experience & growth. His classes are well rounded in that he rotates around developing form, calisthenics, general athleticism, all while concentrating on the tenets of respect, confidence and focus. We couldn't be happier that we chose Master Lee and his dojang for our son's black belt pursuit. Our many thanks and gratitude to Master Lee for helping our son achieve something amazing. It's an achievement for life that cannot be taken away. Cheers.

Our son started off…read moreat the age of 4 and we wondered if he would pick up on the discipline and patience that is demanded by the wonderful instructors. While the classes can be strict, the instructors find a way to make it enjoyable which in turn motivates many including our son to keep striving to be better each passing day. Alexander is always excited to come into class especially on days when they do sparring or when it is belt testing time. Grandmaster Lee accolades are very impressive and his main instructor (Ben) along with the leaders are all professional and caring of everyone's success. Alexander has definitely become a better listener, more confident, and respectful since he has joined the program.

I've read previous reviews about the Tae Kwon Do center and the Master Kim before I send my…read morechildren at this place. Current Grand Master Kim, Bong Kun is a totally different person with previous Master Kim (he is Korean and Kim is most popular last name in Korea) and he is a great instructor of Tae Kwon Do. As I noticed and witnessed about current Master Kim is kind and nice to all his students. He also has good heart and passion for teaching young kids and children. He respects parents and others. Master Kim's main assistant instructor Mr. Joseph is well disciplined and performed well. He also teaches students with respect. I strongly recommend this place if you are looking to teach your child's behavior or respect to others.

They did move locations in January and some of the gps platforms have not updated their address yet. Make sure to grab their address from their welcome email. Two women teach the class and they are very informative. They also have multiple Bobs where you perform the moves on. The instructors help you walk through each movement. We learned a lot on Day 1 and I'm excited for what's to come.

Aiki Ninjutsu teaches its students to use the momentum of the attacker to one's advantage. I joined Warrior's Edge to learn self defense and also to provide a cardio workout. Starting out as a white belt can seem overwhelming training with higher belt levels, but not at Warrior's Edge. It's a great bunch of people that are eager to help you progress. Any doubts, sign up for a free class and you'll be hooked.

We've been coming here for 4 years and I watched my daughter go from crying in her first class at the age of 3, to now being a black belt and telling her friends she can't play because She's going to TKD.

I had my son join Tae kwon Do so that he can learn how to defend himself. After paying $139 a month…read moreand an additional $60 every 2 months (to pay for the belt test, which did not make sense, whether they learn the kata's or not they give them the belt so the parents are PAYING for the belts instead of the kids EARNING THEM) i quickly noticed that the kids are not learning self defense. When i questioned Master Jung about this his response was that Tae Kwon Do was not for self defense but that he teaches self confidence within a kid and how to make them feel good about themselves. Well for $139 a month i can pat my son on the back and tell him he is great but that is not going to help should he get in a fight. The so called black belts looked as though they could not fight there way out of a paper bag. Making the kids FEEL GOOD is great but how are they going to feel when they find themselves in a place were they have to defend themselves and they get beat up! that burst of bubble will have the kids questioning everything else in there lives. When i sent the email that my son will no longer attend his dojo, i still got charged the following month, even though my son had not attended. I also received an email that i will be charged an additional month as they had a two month cancel policy. So they charge me $279 for a kid who is not even attending the school. Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art. It combines combat and self-defense techniques with sport and exercise. For a Master to tell me its NOT used for self defense but only for self confidence REALLY made my head spin. I took 2 years of karate in college and i learned more in my first month than my son did in the time he was at this school. If you want your kid to FEEL all warm and snuggly inside this is the school for them, but if you want your kid to actually LEARN something about SELF-DEFENSE then i would look else were. BYT when i asked about the 1980's trophy and if they actually do have sparring with other dojo's so that the kids can actually practice what they learned the master again said NO not really as that is not what they teach....REALLY!
