His patience to work with any kid or adult at any age at any level is awesome and I recommend this organization to anyone who loves the martial arts or just wants to try something new because anyone can learn here in a respectful and understanding way with no pressure. As a black belt from his school, he has become a role model for me not only for his character but for his love the martial arts and his willingness to spread this wonderful gift to others.

No other studio we visited with was offering what this one can; Classes six days a week, multiple disciplines, adult and youth classes, and a smaller more intimate class training environment. Professor Tony and his master instructors are true professionals to thier craft. I have entrusted them for over two years now and I will never regret the decision I made to enroll both my daughter and son. They both have flourished under the leadership of this studio. They have made life long friendships and have made tremendous strides in learning both the arts of Taekwondo and Jui Jitsu. Both of my children regularly compete in Jui Jitsu competitions nationally. They have been recognized as State and World Jui Jitsu champions, all thanks to Professor Tony and his amazing staff of instructors. This is the place! Don't waist anymore time or money anywhere else, come in and check it out. Your kids will thank you later!

If you're considering enrolling your child in tae kwon do, look no further than Pride Martial Arts…read more Both of my kids started at Pride in 2019, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made for their growth and well-being. Both of my kids have struggled with anxiety, especially when facing new situations, but from day one, the instructors at Pride have been incredibly patient, intentional, and encouraging. They have a way of making each child feel supported and understood, which is so important for kids who are a little more anxious about trying new things. Our eldest is now a black belt, and our youngest is about to test for his black belt next month! Watching them grow through Pride's program has been amazing. One of the things I appreciate most is that Pride isn't just about teaching the skills of tae kwon do; they are deeply invested in developing each child's character. The instructors are extremely disciplined and highly skilled, but they also emphasize values like perseverance, hard work, and self-confidence. Through the years at Pride, I've watched my kids become more determined and confident, learning what it takes to set goals and work hard to reach them. Pride Martial Arts has truly made a difference in our children's lives, and we're so grateful for the dedication and support they've shown. Thank you, Pride, for all your hard work and for investing so much in our kids! We appreciate you more than we can say.

If you are looking for a special place for your kids or entire family to not only learn martial…read morearts, but also to learn life skills and values that will extend to the rest of their lives, then look no further than Pride Martial arts! Our family has been at Pride Martial Arts (PMA) since early 2018 and it's about time I write a review. Our eldest son Nathan started at PMA at 5 years old in the Tigers program. He was shy and had separation anxiety. He had not done any other sports or extracurricular activities yet. We tried PMA for a week and were sold. Whether it was a large class one day vs a small class another day, we were so happy to see instructors that were teaching our son not only martial arts, but life skills, self-defense and core values like respect, self-discipline, honesty and so much more. And most importantly, he was having fun and enjoyed coming to class, including sparring. A year later our son joined the Leadership program, which allowed him to take more advanced classes like Leadership and Tricking, and an unlimited number of classes per week. He eventually started to compete in tournaments and continued to thrive and grow further. What was once a shy and quiet boy, blossomed into a skilled, confident and strong young man. Fast forward to today, our 12-year-old son is a 2nd degree Black Belt, ATA Martial Arts Champion (5x World Champion, 10x District Champion and 10x State Champion). All thanks to this amazing academy. Our youngest son also joined several years ago and is on his way to becoming a Black Belt next year. My wife and I joined PMA in 2022, competed and earned several State and District Champion titles, and became Black Belts recently as well. We could not be more proud and grateful for what PMA has done for our entire family! PMA has weathered many storms (e.g. pandemic, economic downturn, staffing changes, etc.), but it has persevered. Their commitment to our kids and the community is a rare gift that should not be overlooked, especially with so many other martial arts schools in it more for the money than their students. I'd like to especially thank the owner, Master Lizbeth Ahn, for all she has done for my family. She truly cares about using martial arts to teach our kids good values and to become the best versions of themselves. Nathan would not be a World Champion without her belief in him, her detailed training and support. We believe in her vision for PMA and look forward to many more years of growth for our family.

I have had the pleasure of training with Master Leslie Salinas and she also has a strong dedication to teaching her students. Anyone who is looking to train or have their children train at this studio will learn not only martial arts - but how to unlock the potential within.

The boys love it, have made long lasting friendships and have been trained on discipline and respect. I highly recommend this dojo. Try it free for one week. No risk.

I was apprehensive at first because it is in the mall but after signing them up for the introductory classes and seeing how grandmaster taught the classes, I was sold! The first thing I noticed is the grandmaster who is a 9th degree black belt actually teaches the children himself! Not only does he teach himself, he has an impressive resume including winning a silver medal in the olympics along with being one of the chosen people to help get tae kwondo into the olympics years ago. He teaches discipline along with the foundations of the art. My girls ages 6 and 7 love it and actually want to take multiple classes a day because they enjoy it that much. He allows you to take as many classes mon - Thursday as you like which again, makes you really feel as if you are getting your money's worth. I would give more than 5 stars if I could only because I am comparing his university to others that I have experienced. A great choice if you are looking for a long term martial arts for your children!
