It's really very cool to see how quickly your child will transform in this program. My son started in the Little Dragon's program a few months ago and while we knew he was going to be interested in taekwondo, we had no idea how obsessed he'd become instantly! As a child on the spectrum, we have seen huge improvements in his joint attention, discipline, turn taking, and learning routines. There are kids in his class who have been attending longer and are great role models during class. I love that Master Garmany sets clear rules for how to behave in class. He has had my son sit out when he's misbehaving and it's been really good for him to have a direct consequence. He really doesn't want to have to sit out and understands that there is a certain way he needs to behave to participate. Stamps during class for good behavior and stickers at the end are the biggest deal to my son, it's really adorable. Master Garmany really has thought about everything when putting this business together. I love that the Little Dragon's class is so child friendly. Watching little films before class starts, listening to CoComelon during musical chairs, imaginative play during warm up and stretch time. It's really sweet. Now, here's where it gets even more exciting. There is a room full of toys and imaginative play that the little ones can go in, or their siblings. Great amount of seating area to watch your kids. There's an epic arcade for kids and parents to come nerd out in. And there is an awesome workout area for parents to use anytime. All of this is included in your child's membership! I also love that Master Garmany coordinates lots of events that the kids can attend, participate, or help out in. Star Wars movie nights, rock concerts, taco trucks, um yes please! Thank you Master Garmany for how much thought you've put into creating such a welcoming beautiful place. read more

Unless your kid is already an Olympic athlete--or you're ready to worship at the altar of unchecked ego--look elsewhere. I came in genuinely interested in signing my daughter up and asked some very normal questions: Who can she ask for help? Will she be taught proper technique? You know... basic stuff. Apparently, that was too much. The owner was immediately defensive, dismissive, and ultimately kicked us out--for asking questions. The class? Total chaos. About 40 kids, two instructors, no mirrors, no instruction. Just lots of "Yes sir, no sir," random drills, and games. My daughter was sent to kick a bag with zero instruction on how to kick. When I pointed that out, the owner actually said: "We don't teach technique unless you're an athlete. It's a waste of time." That's a direct quote. So beginners? Too bad. No questions allowed either--students are expected to watch and somehow just "get it." Spoiler: they won't. He bragged about one student who made it to the Olympics (good for her!), but there's no way to tell if she succeeded because of his teaching or in spite of it. What's clear is this place is built around his ego, not student growth. Honestly, I feel bad for the assistants and instructors working under that mindset. You can't grow a program--or students--when feedback is treated like a personal attack. We've since found a new studio that actually teaches, listens, and welcomes beginners without expecting blind obedience. This place? A hard pass. read more

Customer service is horrible! I called well in advance and was told to bring my child in at 4:30pm. So when that day came I took my child in and while we're waiting some guy comes out the back and asks if I'm a member and I said no I was told to bring my child in at 4:30pm to try out the class. He asks my child age and then saids I don't have you down in my book whoever missed informed you about the times it's 6:15pm I don't have time to talk to you come back at 6:15pm. I told him I can't make that time so he starts looking at different dates for 6:15pm and I told him it's okay I'll reach back out when I figure out my schedule and he instantly got upset. Gave me a crazy look pushed his booked wave his hand at me and said "ALRIGHT BYE!". Extremely rude I'll spend my money somewhere else. read more

My son who is 6 loves this place he's been coming for 4months and he and I have met some good friends here. He loves doing class and learning new techniques. He has really come out of his shell. Master Nolan is awesome he's my sons favorite sensei. My son who is 17 does Muay Thai classes he really enjoys it as well. If you wanna get your kids off electronics and give them something fun to learn this is it. read more

NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY. LEARN RESPECT YOURSELF SENSEI. This place use to be absolutely great when his location was off miracle mile. Now a days sensei only seems to care about making money. He became very rude as well compared to how warm, friendly and interactive he once was. UGLY personality now. Back then it felt like home when my family went, now it feels like a money scheme to pay for his new location, etc. Based off reviews and my experience, I may take further actions into making sure this business does not scam anyone else. So unprofessional. Does not provide notification or consent forms for automatic payments. I am beyond disappointed with the changes and will not be returning after being around for years. NOT recommended. I will now be taking my child to my childhood gym Tibons as this place has always remained the same/amazing overall. Theres so many issues I could address, but quite frankly... I would rather remove my son from this place and write this review in hopes it helps give insight for all ends. Would have given a zero or negative star if possible. read more

My Grandsons were so excited to join and try out Martial arts , what a disappointment... the owner is so unprofessional and my family was asked to leave . He wanted to have both parents present and when they were not he asked us to go to front desk and leave to reschedule. My grandson was not only disappointed but embarrassed that we were singled out and asked to leave . Besides all of this , no direction to the children no discipline , it's was a complete circus . Im guessing he wants two parent to sign contract so he can hold you accountable and make the contract binding . I'm still trying to explain to my Grandson why we had to leave . Worst experience ever . !!!!!!!!! read more

We originally signed our kids up because we thought this would be great for them to get out and do something. The first couple weeks I complained because it covid we are still in a pandemic and they allow so many families in one room. People literally will bring their husband/wife, their other kids who aren't in karate, and more to the class making the class extremely packed. It was overwhelming for me to have so many people next to each other and so many kids in one class that the instructors can't help with each kid. My son was stuck on the same belt because they had no more belts for him , they tested my daughter without me there & I didn't sign the paper for her to be tested so that was another upsetting thing. I tried to deal with it but the Covid cases kept rising and it kept scaring me how many people they allow in. There's also no time to book your class ahead of time to prevent the class from being extremely large. In August I got sick and then it went through the house one by one. I didn't feel comfortable taking the kids to karate due to being sick of course we were charged that was no problem but I then called and asked can we cancel just due to being scared of coming back and catching Covid at their place. So instead I was told he would put me on a two month hold and then he would call me and see where we were at. Didn't receive a call but he sure did charge us the $247 . But again fine we didn't call either to follow up so we will just dispute with our bank. anyways I call and let me say that nice guy who talked you in to getting your kids to do karate was gone, he was so rude!!!!!! I explained we wanted to cancel because we were charged $247 and haven't even been there in two months nobody's called nobody said hey how can we make this better nothing. He basically said " there's nothing I can do about that we have to build our business right now I'll take your info and cancel you" didn't apologize and say he sorry that happen unfortunately there's no refunds I'm sorry I didn't reach out I'm at sorry I didn't address your concerns to get you to stay nothing he took my information and we hung up the phone. I'm more upset at how he didn't care and just said he we have to make our money and left it at that. My kids loved being there but I'm sorry it wasn't worth getting sick over . UPDATE : they charged us once again this is extremely frustrating I cannot believe how unprofessional the main boss is !!! Take my advice do not come here ! read more

I only wish we had seen the reviews prior to experiencing most of everything that has been mentioned by the following persons below PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW & OBSERVE BEFORE YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE $$ 3/30/2011,1/12/2013, 12/10/2012, 11/7/2013, 5/26/2015, 5/13/2018 NO-ONE should have to be charged any additional amounts for each belt upgrade or testing! Also, classes should be instructed and taught by a trained adult instructor, not by students that are in training themselves. Master Garmany puts on a united front when you initially meet afterward that changes to being arrogant and very over-bearing! ****Please pay attention to your reviews we all can't be fabricating what the truth is!! THE SCAM IS REAL!! read more

This is primarily a review of the kids Taekwondo program. I don't know much about their adult classes but knowing what I know about the kids classes I wouldn't take any of those either. Please do your research and take trial classes before you invest any money. First, is this a McDojo? Yes it is. However; there are skills that your child can learn from this facility, just not the art of Taekwondo. The kids that I ran into who were "black belts" were extremely kind and courteous. They were alarmingly young for black belts but they definitely had a black belt attitude or mentality. That's where it ends unfortunately. Watching the black and brown belts train was a joke. They did not have black belt's technique. They were sloppy. I feel bad for them because they are very proud of their belts but they just aren't real black belts and they have no clue. This is a belt factory where getting your next promotion is more about the money then the skill. It's obvious that they push the belt tests often, which is a disguise to keep the kids and parents excited and proud, as well as keeping the parent paying extra money for the belt exams, but it's all fake because your child's promotions mean nothing at this place other than the fact you paid for it. With that being said, the only reason that I am not giving this scam 0 stars is because your kids will learn some respect and responsibility here. Your child would learn that in a legitimate martial arts gym as well. Your child will not learn a martial art and will have a false sense of pride when they grow up and realize their black belt mean nothing. The price range that was giving to me was $180/month, incredibly outrageous for the low quality training these kids were getting. I was hesitant about the price and Master Garmany was willing to be flexible on prices to be fair. From what I could tell Master Garmany seemed to be pretty good with the kids as well, but it all felt very "car salesman" like. All I can say is they offer a few freebie classes. If you insist that I am lying go try them out and see for yourself. When you see a bunch of black belts running around that are under 12 years old, watch their form and their technique. Ask them if they spar. Ask questions. Don't be a sucker. Don't fall for Master Garmany's videos, especially his star Olympic Poomsae videos. Keep your mind open and make a smart decision for your child. There are much more striking oriented marital art gyms in Stockton that will give your child real skill, and real training. They will be much more satisfied as they grow up knowing that they earned their belts through hard work, perseverance, and growth. Side Story: Master Garmany knew that I wasn't ignorant of mixed martial arts. He kept insisting that my wife comes or goes on speaker phone anytime we talked about my son's training or commitment. I felt this is a tactic used by this facility to get the wife on board with the talks of "your kid will learn responsibility, and respect etc. I asked if they spar and he didn't answer the question direct, he also told me wife "We're not interested in making your son an MMA champion, but we will make him learn respect", that's when I was completely out. Not because I want to push my son into MMA, but because that means that he knows the training is crap, and your kids will not learn real striking techniques and will not be able to apply them in sparing, competition or if needed an actual fight. read more

horrible experience. my son loved going but wanted to try another sport so i decided to take him out for a year to try baseball, i got stuck paying for 90 days, verified i was on my last payment then no more charges. then to my Suprise a couple weeks later I get charged again, try to reach out by email and Facebook to let them know I was charged after the 90 days, no response. So, I started calling and literally got hung up on then my calls ignored. then 2 days later got another charge. Don't go here, it is a scam. An owner who doesn't have the nerve to respond to a phone call or multiple emails is truly a scumbag. Make right what went wrong.. read more

We absolutely love it here! The family environment is so welcoming. My babies (7 &12) are learning street and school safety, respect, and how to defend themselves. Our Master Sensei's know how to have FUN too... with fun weekend activities like nerf battles, mornings in the park, and movie night. read more

We have been coming to DMA since September and we love it. I have two children currently enrolled in the beginner class and attend twice a week. We love the flexibility of the schedule and the family atmosphere. Outside of classes there are activities for families to get together with the team and other families and it really feels like a community. The trainers really make the lessons fun for the kids to keep them engaged while also bringing consistent lessons for manners and character building. My shy 8 yr old has really come out of his shell and I've seen the confidence grow in him, while my active outgoing preteen has learned to focus more. Best decision ever! read more

I was seeking quality instruction at a quality facility. I thought I had found the spot because this place seemed enormous with plenty of foot space and plenty of seats for the parents. Unfortunately I soon found out it was mostly a scam designed to look great, and once again the price outweighed the value. They got me in the door by giving me 2 weeks to a month free, but after 2 days they were eager that I sign up. I told them that I still had a decent amount of free days left and I wanted to check it out further, and the guy that runs the place just got angry. When it came time to signing up, he had told me that there wouldn't be a contract for me, but then he tried to get me to sign a paper that said CONTRACT. I asked him about it and he just ignored it and said not to worry about that. I didn't want to sign anymore and the guy threw a fit. I soon realized I was being tricked and bullied. Places like this are very unprofessional and have no real integrity.They try to get as much money out of you, while hardly teaching you a thing, even if your at a high belt level, your not gonna be that good because these places are designed that way so that they can take as much out of your pocket as they can. Please, don't let HORRIBLE business practices intimidate you, speak up. read more

My daughter has been coming here for 17 months. This place isn't cheap, but I have found it well worth it. My now 6-year daughter has really improved so much since being here. OK, she can still use a lot of work as far as her actual martial arts are concerned, but everything else has improved so much and I know a lot of it had to do with the positive exposure here. She used to get in trouble often at school, especially for being a distraction and talking. This still happens, but now it's maybe once a month (not daily). She used to also give up very easily, "I can't do it!" Now she says, "I'm not sure if I can do that... but I can try!" This even applies to trying new foods too! Of everything, what I've noticed the greatest improvement is being able to be focused. For example, math homework she used to need a break every few problems. Now she can do several pages without any breaks! She also takes constructive criticisms much more positively. The staff here has been excellent. Especially having other students instruct are wonderful role models, showing that anyone can do it with effort! There are also multiple classes during the week and often fun events on weekends to fit your schedule! read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could! Master Garmany is very unprofessional. He's all about the money. Yes I know it's a business and he needs to make money, but he ONLY cares about the money. Uses his students to push people into joining. I didn't sign my girls up to be "salesmen" to make him money. When my daughter's and my brother was there, he didn't even teach the class his students did. When it came time for testing, of course everyone passed because he was making all cash money for the students to test. And I seen so many students that didn't even know what they were doing, but yet they passed. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!! read more

Master Garmony has created a culture of excellence and perseverance. The Creed and Tenets of taekwondo are a central part of life in his school. There is a focus on children's education, but adults are welcome as well. There is a range of dedication levels from just getting some exercise all the way to competition and demonstrations. read more

Both my boys have been coming here for years, long enough for one of them to get their black belt and the other is almost there. Can it be a little pricey? Yes, but you get what you pay for. M. Garmany has always worked with us on tuition, testing fees, whatever whenever funds were tight. He runs a tight ship and doesn't allow slacking in any class. My boys get quality training, and we can't put a price on that. We will be enrolling our daughter soon, and I am confident that all 3 of my kids will and do get quality taekwondo training. read more

I think that you should take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. Personal finances should not necessarily be a part of a school's effectiveness. On a more positive note, this school delivers! Not only does it produced a very high degree of quality Tae Kwon Do athletes, not just black belts but State AND National champions, but it also helps instill and foster hard work and dedication to students in an age where everything is handed to them. The higher belts are definitely earned as there is no free ride to black belt here! I am most happy with what my children are learning other than straight martial arts, specifically, dedication, self discipline, courtesy, self confidence and the reward of hard work! Plus they are together in an atmosphere of winners (again state AND national champs). What better environment to expose my children? Master Garmany is great with kids and they respect him. In the end, it is a business and he does have to be able to sustain his business. I for one am all for supporting our local businesses in Stockton, especially one that takes pride in bringing up our youth with respect and courtesy in an age where this is sorely missed. I trust Master Garmany to help mold my children. I think that statement alone speaks volumes! read more

Obviously this prior 1 star review was the free trial only, not sure what he was expecting to learn in a week. Lol. Maybe if this reviewer had actually committed to the classes he would have had a different outcome. My 2 sons and daughter trained for many years under Master Garmany. 2 of them earned their Black Belts and you can't put a price on the valuable lessons and techniques they learned at Discovery Martial Arts....My daughter started taekwondo at the age of 5, she's now 16 and still trains. Master Garmony laid this foundation for my daughters taekwondo career. My daughter trained with Master Garmony from the age of 5 to 12, and to this day she continues to stop in and train. To say these students aren't Black Belts, is a total disrespect to the school and my daughter. Do you think a sloppy Black Belt with no technique could achieve all of this My daughter has won 3 Pan American Championships, is a 7 time state champion and she has been on the USA Team for 3 years and has traveled all over the world, not sure what more you could ask for as a Black Belt?!?! Maybe the Olympics??? Time will tell. I would definitely recommend Discovery Martial Arts if you are willing to put in the work, commitment & sacrifices! read more

This place is definitely out for your money!!! The "master" is super rude. First we were told we would receive a free week trial. Well we never even used up the 1 weeks trial. We ended up wanting to sign up and he charged us for the month that was already over and said my next payment would be due in 10 days! When we told him that wasn't right he offered 2 classes per week instead of 1. We would still be over paying by $50 and he said "ok 1 month free" we decided to cancel.. because we no longer felt comfortable with someone who handles his business in that way.... we called for a refund and the "master" ended up hanging up on my husband with "wow! ok I'll refund your $" and hung up. It has now been 2 weeks and I still have not received a refund!!! I called and they said to give it a few more days! So unprofessional and such a rip off! $100 for 1 class per week for 45mins and a Master that has his head up his own a**!?? Not worth it to me! read more

We have two girls taking lessons here and have been very happy with what they are learning and how we are treated by the staff. They do so much more than just learning to fight. They are training kids to become pillars of the community. They get involved to help kids do well in school, even providing tutoring for those who need it. They have an extensive program to help deal with bullies at school or elsewhere, going so far as to even come to the schools and give demonstrations and talk with the students about how to diffuse bullies. They even collect and handout backpacks filled with essentials for the homeless. Overall we love it here and couldn't imagine being anywhere else to help teach our kids how to protect themselves! read more

My kids have been here seven months now and have improved so much in this amount of time. Master Garmony is very understanding when it comes to the financial part of this.

Very glad to have brought my kids here. read more

I spoke to the Master over the phone asking questions about pricing. He invited me to check it out that evening to see if my son liked it and to go over pricing. He asked if my husband could be there, I said no. He said to come anyway. When we got there , we went into the back room with all the other new parents. The master went over how successful they were in training. Felt like a time share presentation. Then he engaged the kids and my son loved it. New kids joined the class that was going on in the main room. After the class he invited all the new parents back to the back room to discuss pricing , I'm assuming. I followed because that is what I was there to find out. I sat down with my 2 kids and he asked me if my husband could be on the phone to listen in. I said no, he's not available. He then asked me to leave and go to the front desk to rebook another appointment when we could both be here. I said we work opposite schedules . He told me again to go up front. The master and the front desk knew it was just me before going and they still invited me anyway, just to ask me to leave. I was very upset and confused. I then spoke to the woman at the front desk who was very nice and told her that it's not possible to have us both here. We are only off Fridays together and offcorse they are closed fridays. We were there for an hour and a half and I didn't even get a price. I can only assume what they discussed in the back room but I have a feeling they were going to try to get contracts on the spot while your child is begging you to sign. Not cool. read more

We have had our children attending for 6 months. We just canceled our membership and have nOTHING good to say. They are very expensive...$125.00/month per child. They are also VERY sales driven, so you pay extra every ten weeks after your child ''promotes'. It was an additional $50.00 to get the new promotion belt and $40.00 to test. In addition to the price, we recently lost our jobs and decided that karate would have to be something we had to cut from our monthly budget. The owner told us that they did not allow students to quit. in order to leave our membership, we had to show proof of moving out of state! Are you kidding me!!??? The owner, Master Garmendy teaches the children about self control, dignity, and integrity...yet he has nONE of these qualities as a business man! Parents beware! this man has had several other karate places... in elk Grove, Lodi, and Tracy...all were closed and had simular complaints. Do your homework...DO NOT send your children to discovery Martial arts!!! read more

J.C.C there is a difference between good business practices and being a rip off. My personal experience was not pleasing at the least.Any school that does not know when a student is still attending or not and all they care about is that they collect from your bank is not the kind of business I would recommend to anyone. You also sound like you work there or benefit monetarily from their practices, when people give there experience about a business you have to respect their opinion and just state yours and not call names. When I called that school and spoke to the owner he was as ass and very dismissive about my situation. A good business cares about their customers and reputation and will never be aggressive or rude to a customer who has complaints. read more

My 5 year old was excited to go to class, but for $130/month I was expecting classes to be at least an hour and he would get hands on training. Well the classes are scheduled to be 45 minutes and they always started late and ended early. There is no personal touch with the kids or the parents; Master Garmany never took the time to learn my name. Every weekend there is another reason to pay $25, they are only after a buck. They will not take the time to give your child lessons on what to do when they start...they get thrown in with every one else and are expected to learn it that way. If there was more time taken on the kids to teach them the skills this place would not be such a revolving door. There is a lot of wasted time in this class! No more...my son wasn't upset when I told him I thought there was better out there. read more

I too was really surprised with the reviews on here because when we started attending, they were very friendly and family oriented. After being here a year, we've learned alot about why the negative reviews are accurate. First off, the school has it's good and bad. The good is that they "did" have a great teacher who helped identify a student's strengths and weakness and helps the student based on their overall needs. The bad is that this teacher is no longer there. What I don't like about this place (after a year) besides the poor teachers' interactions, or lack of interactions, with the students is that one of the teacher was sleeping with another teacher there while she was a minor (17 yrs old). I also got billed twice the amount of what I normally pay and this was supposed to be the final payment and when I called the billing company, they informed me that school has to call them and tell them to stop and the school has me paying for another month. I've left voicemails to Mr. Garmany but still no reponse. Will be contacting the BBB. ***As a parent, unless your student has "star potential" in TKD, don't invest your time nor your money here. The only students who gets "time" here are the students who have potential to win medals for this school. read more

Wow! I'm impressed with all the negativity and not in a good way. I've been at this school for nearly a year and have had no bad experiences. The staff is kind and respectful, Master Garmeny is nearly always present, and I've had no issues. Most importantly, my kid does not want to miss class. She enjoys it and has thrived not only in confidence but in responsibility, accountability and in academics. Is it inexpensive, no. But we all spend on things we don't need. Why not on something that gives a return on our money. Is it for everyone, no. I don't understand the hostility. read more

I was a guest instructor at Discovery Martial Arts in the summer of 2012. Fantastic staff and training facility. I was really impressed with the very nice Staff. I felt at home and look foward to coming back and teaching and learning from everyone at this great school. " Top Notch " in my book. read more

Take it from a former Student that has been doing martial arts for a while and is very loyal to his instructor. When the real instructor who built the schools programs left (MasterC) , it was clear that this was no longer certified school. I would recommend that parents really sit and pay attention to the classes that are being taught buy a 17 year old who was a white belt when the school opened 2 years ago. read more

My son loved their classes!!!! Yes the classes are expensive, but when you signup your child you know how much it's going to be up front. I was really surprised to see some posters critizing the fact that a business is out for the money.....Well isn't that why a business is in business to pay their personal bills like the rest of us. I gave them 5 stars cause I don't like whinny people who hide behind a computer screen and complain. read more

I too am disappointed at the bad reviews here. My daughter has been a student at Discovery Martial Arts since they opened, and I have nothing but praise for the school and it's staff. To see my daughter go from super shy and under confident, to being outgoing and self confident enough to preform in a tournament, by herself, in front of hundreds of people, well, I would have to say I would have paid ten fold what I pay now just to see that in her. read more

I started training under Master Garmany in 1992. I received my Black Belt in 1996. The way that he runs his business is 100% legit. I think that it is more fault of the parents for letting there children just "quit". Yes I understand that there are many families that are struggling right now, but is the age that we live in now children, adults and seniors need to know how to protect themselves especially living in Stockton. Not only physically but emotionally. What I learned under Master Garmany has made be a very successful person in my life. When I had NO one in my life to help me Master Garmany was there. read more

This place is Americanized Taekwondo. I felt like I wasn't learning anything useful and the same stuff was being taught in most weeks. Be careful! They are out to get your money. Super expensive for the quality of training that you get. Like why do people literally have to pay to move up a belt rank?? There are some kids and adults that don't even know what they're doing yet they "pass" and move up rank?? There were people who were above my rank most of the time yet I didn't even think they deserved it or deserved the respect that I should give them because testing did not feel like a legit test. I decided to stop at brown belt but I honestly should've stopped sooner because I know for a fact I wasn't a "brown belt." Just find another school, do your research, take a tour, feel out their environment. I didn't do that for this school. I was just so excited to learn martial arts and just said okay to this one and I regret that so much. My parents payed too much for lessons that rarely helped. There's schools that actually care about the service and not the money. Go to those!! Also sometimes there were students teaching classes!! Like wtf my parents aren't paying this much money to have people in training teach classes. Not worth your time or money!!! read more
