    My son when he first started

    For the last 2 years my sons confidence and discipline has exceeded my expectations. He has gone from a quiet and shy boy to a vocal and proud boy! Classes are always fun and inclusive. The instructors are all amazing as well.

    We have been going to Ascend Martial Arts for almost two years and love it. All the coaches have made such a change in our daughter for the better. They are very patient, always willing to help where ever they can and the coaches are always encouraging her to try new things and be a better person. Im so glad we found their ad two years ago for 5 classes, it has turned into an amazing experience and a second family to our daughter. We love going here.

    It's our second year in Ascend Martial Arts and we feel better and our family is healthier and happier. We love being here (Ascend Martial Arts) everyday and it's a great part of our life. We are so grateful to find a family and a great community. Thank you so much Master Mark Cancino, staffs and family.

    I absolutely love my Cancino / Dayao ATA TKD family. They literally saved my son Verse's life and now I'm enrolled as well. I honestly think I'll break in half soon trying to keep up if either of the Miss Cancino's try to make me do one more cut kick. This school is built in honor and integrity and I believe in them completely. Know this, the Whitecloud family is and forever will be ATA Strong and we will always support them in standing tall against bullying of any kind!

    What can I say. Great class great learning for my kids in communication defense bully awareness and how to act and defend. There so much to this place. They get know your kids and treat like family. They motivate and help your kids get to there potential and more. My kids love going to class and events sometimes the awesome tournaments too. 1st wk free I believe. Give it a go it got my kids out of there shy bubble at times my smallest one is leading a form and it's awesome to see it. That once she use be so quite Jesus couldn't hear her now she's comfortable respectful and committed. Her communication skills are great now.

    Our first TKD tournament together with Mr. Cancino!

This is a spacious wide open space for practice with cool green mats and a padded and sprung floor. This excellent floor makes it easier to learn graceful falling, while doing more repetitions unhurt. The sensei is a (by turns and in good measure) brilliant & stern teacher with a wry sense of humor to keep all learning lively. I love that this dojo has such a complete community, male and female, young and old, experienced and new practitioners. I am a longtime martial artist, with more than 30 years of practicing my hand to hand hobby. This school and its people are far and away the best community for learning martial arts that I have ever been in. This dojo is of the Takemusu Aikido strain of Aikido. It emphasizes a structured approach to learning with a clear curriculum that integrates empty-handed and wooden weapons training. The term Takemusu signifies spontaneously created and employed martial techniques with a huge emphasis on flowing and effective movements. I've been learning and playing at this dojo for more than eight years now. There are always a few open to the public classes every month, so why not come out and learn and play with us. I hope to see you on the Mat‼

The classes she attends are a mix of all levels. They all help each other out. The sensei is great with the kids but strict when he needs to be. I like the attention to detail and he talks to people throughout the class to give feedback. He also comes over to the area we watch from to ask if there is anything we feel he needs to work on, even if it is just behavior or habits. Having something my daughter looks forward to doing is great.

We pulled up to the facility and my husband had told me it was previously a boxing gym he used to work out at so he was familiar with the place. As we walked in, we were greeted and was advised to fill out a liability form. There are no shoes allowed on the mats, so there was definitely a smell of shoes, socks, feet (similar to walking into Chuck E. Cheese in the 90's) area but as you walk in further in the smell dissipates. We were advised not to play on the boxing ring, which was ok but everything else was open! The best things that I loved was that they offered activities for the kids to do: tug a war, obstacle course, and nerf gun playtime! I noticed the instructors of the gym were interacting with the kids whether it was being chased with nerf guns or playing tug a war. They were teaching some kids how to properly kick! They also allow outside food advising food may be eaten on the green turf/carpet area. 90 minutes of play time and 30 minutes of food time is perfect! This is definitely a great option for birthdays to get kids energy out in a safe environment!
