This review is WAY overdue! We were with FMAA from Oct 2017 - June 2022. My boys loved it and one…read morehas exceeded so much because of the confidence he built from FMAA. He developed leadership skills and still values the 5 tenets of TKD. It's been a year since we moved out of state and he still practices poomsae moves / self defense moves, he learned from FMAA, randomly around the house. We miss FMAA /Mr&Mrs Sauers. We tried other schools here but we can not find another school that holds the same values as FMAA! (We joke and say FMAA is like Miyagi Do and the other school is like Cobra Kai). I love how FMAA gets involved with the community and teaches the importance of community service. The summer camp often left the boys exhausted when they were younger and they also had fun with the demo team at the nearby festivals. Give them a chance!

FMAA is an amazing place to learn Taekwondo! All of the teachers there care about the people they…read moreteach. They spend the time to make sure everyone gets what they need. They aren't afraid to give tough love too, which I, as a parent, appreciate because sometimes that's what a child needs. They also offer lots of classes which makes it very flexible and easy to work around other commitments! I highly recommend them!

I've enjoyed this karate school ever since we joined. My kids started in May 2025. I sat through…read moreevery practice I could and saw the love and consideration they had for their students. I also witnessed how they stay true to the tradition of Okinawain Karate. My kids were taught every skill needed for every task. Every practice they contained so much knowledge. I was blown away. I had surgery on my ankle in July 2025 and at the end of August 2025 they welcomed me into class and it was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made. I've learned so much and just continue to learn over and over again. The focus they've given me and the understanding they've given me of Okinawain Karate is mind blowing. This school has brought so much to my family and they have all became part of our family. Words can't even describe the gratitude I have for them. They are so compassionate, meet you where your at, and bring you up from there. I would highly recommend this school. It would be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Thank you for reading! Have a wonderful day and may God bless you and your families!

In addition to learning the art of Taekwondo, to my…read moresurprise, they are heavily focused on values such as respect, integrity, hard work both at the academy and at home.

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.

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.
