It is here that I achieved the distinction of becoming a world champion, which remains a proud accomplishment for me. The instructors at this institution have had a profound impact on my life, instilling in me a strong sense of discipline and the ability to defend myself. As a result of my upbringing in this environment, I have adopted the practice of addressing others as "sir" or "ma'am." Although I do not attend as frequently now, I make an effort to visit when my sister has her classes. I was a member of the competition team for approximately three years, during which time I greatly valued the lessons in discipline, self-awareness, and self-belief. The friendships I developed during this period have persisted over the years and continue to be meaningful to me.

She is so much more confident, stronger, more disciplined, and always excited to go to class. It's been amazing to watch her grow in such a short time. Mrs. Stacey is an amazing instructor. She's patient, caring, and truly takes the time to help every child learn and improve. You can tell she genuinely loves working with the kids. Mr. Hoa is awesome too! He's a black belt, but he's also funny, friendly, and makes every class fun while still teaching the students with respect and discipline. And a special thank you to Master JC. He is simply the best! His passion, leadership, and dedication make this dojo feel like a family. He inspires the kids to do their best while building confidence and character. If you're looking for a positive activity for your kids instead of having them spend hours in front of the TV or iPad, I highly recommend Impact Martial Arts. They'll get plenty of exercise, make new friends, learn self-defense, and develop confidence and life skills that will stay with them for years to come. We're so happy we found this place!

Long story short, I signed my kids up for a trial class and the instructor was very rude and…read morecondescending. I'm not sure if that time was just for trials because there was only 1 other kid there. He talked down to the kids and refused to teach them if they were not doing it the EXACT way he was. He kept looking at me and saying see? See? See what I mean? NO SIR! I do not see what you're saying. My kid is doing as you asked! My kid wanted to take a break and he goes yeah go sit out. When my son was ready to come back, he said no he can't participate anymore. He said this is why I don't teach anyone under 5 because they don't know how to listen. Excuse me? MEN still don't know how to listen, so maybe they shouldn't be allowed to do anything either?!?! I have never encountered an instructor for little kids that was that impatient. What a total waste of my time.
