They don't just promote everyone automatically like some places do. My son is mildly autistic and this is the sport that he thrived at because of the structure and orderliness of it. The teachers are both patient and work with my kids while still firmly insisting on execution and respect. They understand that kids have different learning styles and different levels of motivation and are able to make it work for everyone. The kids really enjoy all the instructors and respond well to instruction and even discipline when it is warranted. I can't speak to cost / value because I have nothing to compare it against but for us it is affordable and all the costs related to uniform, tournaments, and belt ceremonies have good value. I would recommend this place to any child or adult looking to enter the world of martial arts.

We liked the first two but decided to try one last studio and thank god we did! We absolutely fell in love with United from the second we met Jeff. He is so genuine and kind. This studio is so nice and welcoming. The teachers were amazing and kept the classes organized. They welcomed my son, made him feel special and he was able to punch a board in half. He talked about how much he loved that place the entire way home and I knew United was the right studio for our family. Jeff and his staff are incredible. I can't recommend this place enough!

My kid has been taking Taekwondo lessons here for about a year now, and he absolutely loves coming…read morehere. I just recently started taking Hoshinsul lessons here, and I love it as well. INSTRUCTORS: The instructors here are top shelf. They are patient, friendly, knowledgeable and clearly invested in the material they teach. They are just as adept at teaching young kids, who may not have the longest attention spans, as they are at teaching adults, who may not be able to bend and stretch as well as they once did. They are able to get everyone to dig deep inside themselves and give their all. If you make the effort, they will too. They don't ever embarrass, haze or belittle anyone. Their attitudes are constantly positive and confidence-building. CURRICULA: The Taekwondo is easily approachable and within reach to the newest white belt all the way to the advanced belts. I really appreciate that this isn't just a black belt mill; you are expected to demonstrate proficiency before you can advance to the next level. Belt stripes and belts aren't just given, they're earned. But that said, the instructors will work with you, and the material is presented in a way that kids and adults can understand and effectively apply. The Hoshinsul is just getting off the ground, and so far I'm really happy with the program. If you have a background in the military or law enforcement, some of the Hoshinsul curriculum may look familiar. Safety is clearly a top priority; new students are taught to crawl (and fall) before they can walk. Since the program is new, I can see that the instructors are still laying the foundation that we'll build off of in future classes. Either way, whether in Taekwondo or Hoshinsul, you're going to get a solid workout in addition to learning a martial art. My wife has been doing this program for a while, too, and has lost weight, improved her cardio, and increased her strength. In addition to the martial arts classes, they do a Parents Night Out one Saturday a month, which my kid loves, and my wife and I appreciate. There are also tournaments with other schools, and all skill levels are able to show what they know and have an opportunity to win medals. They also offer seminars and clinics on some Saturdays to help build some of the more challenging skills. And it's all really fun. COMMUNITY: The overall frequency of this place is overwhelmingly positive. The instructors are friendly, and the other students and parents are encouraging and welcoming. The school emphasizes respect, responsibility, integrity, and teamwork. My family has been coming here for a year now, and the increase in everyone's self confidence and overall feeling of wellness is outstanding. If you're looking to get into martial arts, this school is welcoming, friendly, not-at-all intimidating, and the place to go. FACILITY: You can see that this martial arts academy has a healthy following by the difficulty in finding a parking space on busy nights. That's the only somewhat negative thing I have to say about UMAA. And it gets a little crowded inside during the busy classes. But don't let that keep you away.

As a former student (I had a significant career change and could not pursue this discipline any longer) I learned very much in the short period of time I was a student with Eastern Ways.

I highly recommend Eastern Ways Martial Arts regardless of whether you are curious and want to explore the possibilities for yourself, or you've committed from the get-go, Eastern Ways is an outstanding choice.

Eastern Ways easily exceeded our expectations. They were very organized and kept the kids' interest at all times. A group of energetic 10 year olds sitting at attention is an impressive feat. The party content was tailored to our son's interests and even included Kung Fu weapons forms demonstrations. The party room was decorated beautifully and the staff was attentive to the needs of the kids, as well as the parents. The pizza was purchased from a local supermarket but all the kids asked for seconds (I had thirds). Soda and water were the drink options. We brought cupcakes from home and they supplied the candles. They had a unique way of having the birthday boy blow out his candle. There were 5 staff members doing the demonstrations and tending to the guests. They checked with us before they did anything to make sure it was ok. We've had numerous birthday parties for our boy's and these folks are tops in service and courtesy. Each guest received a week of training as part of their goodie bag. Our son is already chomping at the bit to redeem his.

The owner is an experienced professional, which shines through in his interactions with the students. The kids have a lot of fun. If this review were only for my son's experience, it would be a 5 star review. Hands down. The lack of one star is due to a Hitler quote they have on the wall. I am not Jewish, but I am of Mexican descent and do not feel welcome due to the choice and placement of the quote.
