There is Krav Maga for all different levels so finding a suitable class as you advance is easy. Also offered are fitness class designed for all.

The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and will not hesitate to answer your questions. The facility is well kept and clean. I started at KMR for fitness goals and to lose weight and it has definitely helped me get cardio in either through the regular Krav Maga training classes, the fitness classes, or specialty skills seminars. This is definitely a great place to get a good workout in and to learn a life-saving skill at the same time.

Signing up for martial arts at Vision Martial Arts was one of the best decisions I've ever made both as an adult and parent. My kids get consistent, well-rounded, structured, daily physical activity, which has never been more important. As a parent, the calculus is simple. I can get in great shape, learn how to defend myself and others, and do it all with my boys.

Also, they don't allow sparring gear purchased elsewhere and they insist you just buy the gear from them at a 300% markup. When picture time comes around, they charge exhorbitant amounts for them (starting around $60 for two digital pictures on a 32 MB!!! flash drive) and their own embroidered clothing for insane prices. The help, while many of them friendly, can be surly when presented with complaints of nickle-and-diming. Try somewhere else where 7-year olds are not blackbelts.

He sets clear and high expectations which has been helping my son learn respect and discipline. I have seen my son's confidence grow greatly since he began studying at Ancient Arts! One of the things I really appreciate about Kyoushi Don's approach is the clear focus on learning the art of karate as a family experience. We are encouraged to and supported on how to best practice different techniques at home. Ancient Arts Karate is not just some activity or sport kids do after school: it offers a comprehensive journey for young men and women to become their best selves and become role models for their families and communities.

Master Y Kim is an amazing instructor, capturing and keeping the kids attention with fun exercises and learning experiences. He knows every kid by name, seems to genuinely care about their progress and is great at recognizing where kids need extra help. Ms Petra is always there with a smile on her face to greet children and parents alike, and to make sure the kids have the best time. No matter how busy she is, she always makes time to ask how you are doing. The program at Master Chang's blends taekwondo instruction with character building skills and experiences. The staff and class helpers foster an atmosphere of positivity, support, and respect amongst the kids in a fun and engaging way. My child looks forward to every class he goes to, and this is the first activity where he hasn't complained once about going, or asking when it will be over.  We recently also had his birthday party there and it was super fun for all involved, including even the parents who got to participate in the taekwondo lesson, watch a performance from the talented demo team of students from this location, and hold boards while their children broke them with the skills they learned at the party. Parents let us know how much fun their children had and commented on how engaging Master Y Kim was specifically. I highly recommend anyone to try out taekwondo classes at Master Chang's and specifically this location.

I talked with Sifu (teacher, instructor) before and after class and I knew I have signed up and see how far I can go with a bad knee. I learn to modify some exercises and try my best at some others. Well, I joined end of February of this year and I still a member. I am loving it because whatever I learn, I can practice at home. Repetition is key to getting you better. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. It awed me to watch the advanced students and sifu practice forms and weapons before class. Sifu is stern but very approachable. He watches everyone and at a moment, he would give you a correction. That is to me is priceless. I will continue my journey! Give Kung fu a try!

This is not a…read morechurned out Mc Dojo looking to charge you for belts, clothing, monthly tests etc. This is a family style school where everyone is friendly and helpful and there are no uniforms or belts. Either you know what you have been learning and practicing, or you don't. A colored belt doesn't change who you are and what you are capable of. Regular classes are an hour long and will have healthy food served afterwards. You are not kicked out of the school when you finish your class, instead you are encouraged to stay and practice and workout with your fellow kung fu brothers and sisters. It is a large school with two main practice rooms, a bag room, and a gym room. There is also a kitchen with a dining area and two private rooms that can be used for meditation or massage therapy. Sifu Smith teaches a few styles of Tai Chi, Bagua, Hop Gar (Tibetan Kung Fu), Choi Li Fut, and a few other select more private styles. Its rare that you find a teacher that has a great lineage, and its also rare to find a teacher who is exceptional at teaching. When you find a teacher that has a great lineage and is a great teacher, consider yourself fortunate to learn there. We have students there who have come from various martial backgrounds from people who have run their own schools, to people who have never stepped in a gym. There is no judgement, only encouragement. Sifu Smith also is good with children, including children with special needs. I encourage you to visit the school and see for yourself. You can visit the webpage at: www.tibetankungfu.net
