Miss G. is a gifted, caring, experienced instructor. She taught my sons discipline, respect, and self-confidence....all with a focus on excellent technique and self-control. Her classes and influence were significant in shaping the minds and hearts of our young men. I recommend her as highly as one possibly can.

WE LOVE THE ZEN LIFE CENTER! I'd highly recommend Master Hoehn and his team at The Zen!…read more The 1st day my son went to summer camp he came back saying "yes ma'am", "no ma'am" and having better eye contact when speaking to adults, which just filled my heart with joy! Maybe because I was raised as an army brat and that was the only way to talk to adults on the base, but I think it helped me so much as an adult and I always wanted to pass that down to my kid too. They offer the best summer camp options and after school program. We are just so lucky to have found a caring and safe group of people to help us out with teaching our kid self defense and life skills. They're known as one of the top, if not the top in my opinion, self defense schools in Florida. My son is in elementary school and came home one day showing me some moves he learned in class and literally knocked me off my feet, slamming me to the ground. It was not my best look, but I am so proud and happy to say that I think he can defend himself in a bad situation and am looking forward to everything else he'll learn at Zen. They're very inexpensive too! The facility is clean and they're big on safety measures right now during COVID. We are just so blessed to have found this school. If you're interested, check them out! They're the best!

My son has been involved in different types of martial arts since he was 4 years old. He told me…read moreover the summer he's ready to move to the next level & would like to possibly compete in MMA. I signed him up to try their complimentary classes. This is the only place I've been to that gives you 2 weeks of complimentary classes to see if you like it. They have quite a few programs available for kids as well as adults. All the instructors are really personable & friendly. The kids really love them & they handle large classes well. After the 2 week trial period my son decided he liked it & we signed up for the program which is a 1 year commitment. They have 3 different program levels available which they offer 3 payment options. You can put a small down payment & pay the rest over monthly installments, the next option is a larger down payment with the balance broken up into 2 more payments or you can pay all at once with a 25% discount off the full price. They offer 2 different age groups of kids classes, one for the little guys up to 5 years old & the older kids up to 12. The classes are a good size, about 20+ kids. Once they warm up they split the group up separating the older & bigger kids from the smaller ones. The classes are run efficiently & the instructors do a good job of keeping the kids focused & on point. They attend competitions during the year if your child is interested in competing. There is also adult classes available.

His students are engaged and love to be with him. I believe that my family has grown because of the guidance that he gives to my children. He is there for all of his students and there families and he only wants to see them succeed. He has inspired my son to want to own his own dojang when he becomes an adult. He teaches traditional Tae Kwon Do and he does not try to take advantage of people with a huge cost to educate our children. You will not regret bringing your children or becoming a student yourself.
