We joined Master Martial Arts two and a half years ago after Master Um invited my son to try out a…read moreclass, and there was no looking back! This class has been wonderful for my son, and there are several areas where I think this school truly excels. I find that Master Um truly teaches discipline by example: he is very calm and respectful in his interactions with the kids, and encourages them to offer their best behavior. His positive attitude helps shape the eagerness and attention the students bring to class. In addition, the classes have a handful of fantastic youth serving as student instructors. These older students are all overwhelmingly supportive and set a wonderful example for the younger crop. As far as belt progression, the syllabus for each rank is clearly communicated to the students, and they are always aware of what skills they need to learn before being eligible for belt testing. While beginner to advanced belts might be in the same class, Master Um partners students in a way that each can benefit from grappling with a parter of similar skill and weight. In addition, several drills and exercises are performed to provide the necessary athletic basis for the sport. Classes are small, and all students get the attention of their teacher. We left a traditional karate school to join Master Martial Arts, and I am so grateful we did. Master Um provides a very positive learning environment, and ample opportunities to develop the skills and conduct for the martial art of your choice. Definitely give them a chance to train you (adult classes! yes!) or your child.

But everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was fun and encouraging so I kept going back. I've been training for a little over a year now and I absolutely love it. It's not at all what I expected. Jiu Jitsu is equal parts physical and mental and allows me to clear my head and stay in the present moment like nothing I've ever experienced. It's like an amazing workout paired with a couple hours of meditation. There is an endless amount to learn which keeps it interesting. And while I didn't start because I wanted to learn self-defense, I walk with a little more confidence knowing I could defend myself in a real world situation if I ever needed to. There are lots of great instructors, each with their own unique teaching style. The head instructor, Richard Giberson, is a black belt under Relson Gracie. He is super talented, funny and truly wants to help his students learn and progress. If you're curious about Jiu Jitsu, I highly recommend coming to a class and checking it out.

Contrary to popular belief, Asians are not born with a camera around their necks, nor are they born natural Ninjas. However, my Asian child was once mocked by an antagonistic condescending fake-o karate chop from boy with a rattail who's parents clearly hadn't exposed their son to the big wide world of diversity. Other than secretly wanting to take a pair of scissors or a machete to that mullet, I pondered how funny it would have been if my kid had been able to turn around and wax on wax off that brat's face. Turns out that route would have been completely out of character for my mild mannered kiddos, so it wasn't until years later that I would revisit the idea of martial arts lessons. I don't know if it was the resurgence of nostalgic music ("Everybody was Kung Fu fighting...fast as lightening"), the new Jackie Chan movie, or the desire to reform our broken Asian image after William Hung butchered it with his horrendous karaoke singing of "I Believe I Can Fly", but suddenly my youngest daughter was bound and determined to become a black belt ASAP. It eventually became the popular thing to do at her school so she looked at it as extended playtime since her friends were going to lessons too. After she had been going for about a year, my son decided to join. And because it's free for the rest of the family after the first two paid tuition's, I joined. But I'm getting ahead of myself. As it turns out, students have to start with the basics. Real basics. Like, how to tie the belt. Little kids have the toughest time learning because of the dexterity required, middle kids catch on quickly, and the older kids like me simply have to practice. I'm happier about practicing tying a belt more so than I am about wearing those gangsta pants that have the crotch hanging down to my knees. I know it's all about having the freedom of movement to kick well, but that fact doesn't lessen the feeling that I'm wearing an ill fitting adult diaper that has reached its capacity despite the saturated capacity silicone gel beads inside it. Other than that, I feel pretty bad ass after class when I'm wearing the uniform and running errands. Yah, you *better* give me my grande 2 pump mocha, 1 pump peppermint, nonfat, extra hot, no foam, no whip coffee, or else! oh, ok, no peppermint today? That's okay, I didn't want it anyway, thanks. Along with learning how to dress, students learn a dose of humility and respect. Bow upon entering and exiting the dojo. Address senior belts by "Sir" and "Ma'am" and refer to them as Mr./Miss. Imagine the fun my kids have when I am required to address them as such during class. Every kid's dream right there. But class has to end sometime, Mister, and then you are *mine.* Yes, classes are a bit mixed. Youngest children are in a class of their own, then preteens and teens are in Jr class, until aged 13 or adult sized at which point the kids join the adult class. The dojo here is covered completely with pads, likely to make it easier to clean up the blood, j/k. Be careful, though, because the mats can cause stubbed toes and it hurts. The mats are cleaned religiously so no need to worry about nasty nasties getting on your bare feet. In fact, if your feet look dirty, you will be asked to wipe them with baby wipes available. I'll even take it a step farther and tell you to shower before you come if you're the type that sweats throughout your day before getting to class. There's nothing nastier than having a sweaty arm putting you in a headlock and sharing the excess bodily fluid ewwwww I take this class because it stretches my horizons, both physically and mentally. I'm in reasonably good shape, but I do believe the ravages of time are beginning to make some of those synapses quit firing and become duds. The concentration it takes to learn a new "form," or kata, is challenging, but after I've mastered it, there is a sense of having staved off one more week of Alzheimer's should that be in my future :( Speaking of looking at future benefits, this sport requires developing a great sense of balance...something that will stave off hip injuries in the elderly, which I am closer to being than I'd like to acknowledge. I plan to emulate Yoda and bounce off the ceiling and walls when I'm 70 and I don't want to be breaking a hip! If torturing yourself for the sake of self improvement doesn't appeal to you, then you can get your Michael Jackson (RIP) on and watch the kiddos from the waiting area. Other than you as the creeper, this is a family friendly environment. The instructors and students are like one extended family....feel the love. Alternatively, if you are a mullet stylin bully, be prepared to meet a Texas sized can of Whoop Ass the next time you pick on my little yella fella!

HK Taekwondo has been the one to take her through this entire journey so close to reaching the top. HK Taekwondo is probably the best experience I've not only had with a martial arts studio, is has been and still remains one of the best family owned businesses I've ever had experiences with. Master Kim and his Teachers are firm, consistent, teach discipline but not through aggression or anger rather sternness and firmness at a level the child can comprehend and understand. I believe this is why over the last five years, I have seen other kids also grow up in the same program. If you want to start this journey as adult or with your child I very much highly recommend this school. PS - I also know this school follows guidelines and teaching standards for a path to the Olympics.

Most of the high reviews are from years ago…read more Master Kim, the owner, is missing and rarely interacts with students. The instructors are hit or miss. If you get one of the 2 that actually teach they have different approaches that contradict each other. A 3rd teacher is a student that has no business teaching. He has no leadership ability and the students have no respect for him. At one point in 2022 their main instructor at the time went on vacation and then was out sick for an extended time. During that time, the owner, master Kim was still no where to be found and the classes were taught by students. When the instructor came back most of the classes were a disobedient mess. No one was prepared for that round of testing so they had the students repeat the previous test since they went 2 months without learning anything. When you look at the calendar it is packed with classes, but that is not up to date. They teach multiple experience levels at the same time in a relatively tiny studio. There is no common space, for parents, gear, backpacks or shoes. Just a narrow walkway with a row of benches right off the mat. Students get close enough to hit spectators. Kids are stacked too close to each other and run into each other while practicing forms. There is so much confusion about which class is at each time, you almost always end up with lower belts in the advanced class. They take 30 minutes to warmup, split into groups, maybe do 5-10 minutes of Taekwondo, and then spend the last 15 minutes of class playing a kids game like tag or jump rope. The week before each test they realize how under prepared most students are and suddenly get serious. They need everyone to sign up for the test because it is a revenue generator. You get to the test, where master Kim makes an appearance. His rambling and confusing comments drag the event beyond the expected time, usually running an hour late for 1 hour time blocks. The test devolves into him referring to everyone as "you" since he doesn't know any of his students names. He starts teaching a class during the test. It is really more judgement on the poor quality of instructors rather than the students trying to pass. The parents sit there asking themselves where this level of instruction has been the prior 3 months. Ultimately the students try multiple times, take breaks to have 1 on 1 training sessions before they try again. Eventually after enough attempts most of them pass. I wrote this review while sitting at a belt test, watching multiple students fail even though they required a testing form to be signed in advance by an instructor, acknowledging they were ready. Master Kim determines if the kids pass the test, but the instructors somehow have no idea what his standards are. In the weeks leading up to the test, us and other families were requesting help on specific aspects of the test but the help provided by the instructor (who is actually a student on the performance team) was minimal and provided no constructive feedback. Over half of the students failed and the owner told those families that he would personally guarantee to work with them for 2 weeks and they would retest and pass. From Friday to Tuesday master Kim forgot about the promise he made. It turned into assigning a different instructor to work with them which turned into students (who were not instructors or black belts) working with the kids for about 15 minutes in one of the classes. The most frustrating part of the re-test was an instructor telling the kids if they worked "this hard" before the original test they would have passed the first time. Absolutely disconnected, if the instructors were consistent every class, rather than just the week before a test, their students would have actually been prepared. But keep letting the kids run around playing tag with pool noodles.
