We started our son at KAMA just to see if he'd like karate as an activity and he did. We've kept…read morehim at KAMA, however, because of how awesome Master Butturini and his instructors are at teaching the students not only karate, but respect for self and others, confidence, and how much character matters. Those are all things we teach our son as well, and it's awesome to see them reinforced at an activity he loves. We were thrilled when KAMA started an after school program, and happily switched our son over to it.

Outstanding 7th degree Grand Master! All the instructors have the highest level of professionalism…read moreand patience when teaching their students. My daughter has went to Eun's for four years and is now working toward her 2nd degree black belt. She has developed a level of respect, confidence, discipline, and leadership that benefits her in school. Eun's is a fully accredited with the Kukkiwon world TKD federation. With his said, this is not a place to drop off your kid who is exhibiting behavior problems and expect instructors to correct them in two hours per week. It only ends up disrupting the other students in the class.

We are still attending over two years later! We plan to continue to black belt and beyond. Students…read moreadvance regularly at 3 month intervals as long as they come to classes and practice, with minimum six months between black belt tests. Master Eun is still as wonderful as he was on our first day and he teaches every class except on very rare occasions when another instructor fills in (but they teach just like him). The higher degree black belts (4th +) he has who help test are just as encouraging as he is. They practice with the kids before testing begins and help them do their best. Testing is about showing off what they know, not humiliating them for any lack. It's always encouraging even if the kids feel stressed having all eyes on them (understandable! But no shame ever comes from the leaders). Master Eun is big on teaching leadership, humility, and respect and he models those values, too. I'm still so glad we became involved with EMAC! The kids have made many friends here and they see them outside of class time which is a blessing!

My son quickly engaged and enjoyed his first experience with martial arts at Hatcher's…read more Unfortunately, lack of professionalism from my perception caused conflict and we were dismissed nearly immediately when the issues were presented to Mr. Hatcher, after he had asked if there was a problem. From my perspective the emotional intelligence piece of the practice is missing from this facility. After I wrote this review on Google I received a threatening text message from Mr. Hatcher requesting it be removed. There are plenty of good reviews which make sense as freebies are given for the positive remarks. I also think there are plenty of individuals who have positive experiences so long as you offer the owner and facility attention and praise regularly.
