It's clear they've built a strong, welcoming community where every child feels included and encouraged.

I paid for karate for my niece and nephew for years. Brought them to practice etc…read more.. Tony (owner) then signed a declaration under penalty of perjury stating that he'd never met me. We asked him in writing to right this wrong. My SIL removes them from karate because they were mean to her ! Not only does he not teach the basics that he professes about telling the truth, showing up he then lies about it. Please make sure you know what training and resources are available if you send your kids to their camps or after school activities. They are not a licensed daycare provider but advertise as such. (I have picture proof that i can share upon request) I'm sure tony will try to have this removed and get his "cult" to respond. I have many parents, grandparents etc that upon calling Tony out have been attacked by his cult following. Feel free to message me for details or with questions about his unethical practices and his refusal to fix his wrongs. I picked this place, paid for the services and he doesn't deserve anyone else to have the same fate that we did. If Tony rights his wrongs I'll update this as truth is important!

I waited about 6 months after first looking into this place before signing my 5 year old some up…read morefor his first class. I was hesitant because he's pretty adhd and have had a struggle in school. I've been looking into activities to help him focus and things that could build his confidenc. I called and talked to two people that understood my concer of having a student that has a hard time with direction, and what I was looking for for him. They assured me they work a lot on discipline and focus, and even have seen 180 with kids like him. Well we were asked to leave in the first 20 minutes of his first class. They had helpers and did try to get him to redirect into class and not run around. But they chose to send him out before he was done and told me he might benefit from private lessons. I feel they could have recommended that over the phone when I was going to through my concerns and probably would have liked to try that first if they encouraged it for kids in his situation, that I was very upfront about. It was embarrassing and devastated my kid. I'll find some one that won't give up on him, but not this place and not today I guess.

Best gym hands down. I went here for awhile before the bridge from my area to there went down and…read morethen I got sidetracked. But you can't argue with this place!! Led by a guy who won in the UFC and guys training there are winning in the UFC now!! Only thing to know is you basically will never get promoted here haha so if that motivates you go elsewhere. They do promotions once a year and if you miss it you wait til next year so come for the training not the belts and you gonna have the best time!!

Best Martial Art education you could ever receive (and nestled at the base of a volcano too)…read more Fantastic facility (beautiful mats, pads, bags), easy access, and wide variety of programs available (including, if I dare say, a Christian-based self defense course). You won't be disappointed trying any of the programs here. Definitely impressed me the first time. Oh and there's a full-size MMA cage too!

Keep an eye out because this was in front of me and I am unsure if anything happened while I was not with my son. My son felt embarrassed and hurt by Scott's actions, and I am angered by what I saw.

Seattle Taekwondo Academy changed my life!…read more I started when I was four years old because I was obsessed with the Power Rangers, and have never really been able to give it up since. Mr. Craig and Ms. McCall are amazing instructors who work so well with adults as well as children, teaching them respect and responsibility from the start. I honestly don't think there are better instructors out there. While they know how to maintain a serious environment, I chose their academy over many others because they were fun. They keep the class exciting and new, doing extra activities like potlucks and holiday parties to keep a "family-like" atmosphere. Taekwondo is much more than many might think. I am a junior in the business school at the UW, and I honestly can give a lot of credit to where I am today because of STKDA. It taught me how to stick with something and never give up- to respect those around me as well as authority (teachers, coaches, etc.). I also encourage those who want to exceed in sports (I played varsity basketball, soccer, softball in high school) to take taekwondo, it will get you in the best shape of your life, while giving you the best balance you could ever imagine. All in all, I have loved every experience and moment that I have gained from the Seattle Taekwondo Academy, and I seriously encourage everyone to try it.

Through a recommendation from a family friend, we decided to check Matrix out. Right from the start, coach Leo embraced us as family and really worked hard with our son. It made a world of difference. Normally, our son really couldn't care less if we took him to an activity or not. Now, it's a daily conversation "are we going today, are we going????". I highly recommend everyone coming down to take a class or two. It's super affordable and they offer packages. Classes offered are 4-7yo, 8-teen, and adult classes. Definitely check it out.
