My daughter, now a black belt, has had an outstanding experience at Mount Pleasant Karate! Master Glenn sets high standards for his students and expects precision, producing effective, highly skilled, confident martial artists. But my daughter's time there has been so much more than that. Universal morals and values are modeled and reinforced, including giving back to the community through fund-raisers, in class respectful behavior, and things like holding the door for your mother. Master Glenn builds rapport with students through humor and conversation, and is interested in their development into decent human beings, not just proficient martial artists. He has a good, genuine heart and shows kindness and compassion. But the school doesn't end with Master Glenn. The other black belt leaders of the community and members of all ages have been like family. It has been such a benefit for my daughter to interact with other great adult role models who have always been kind, interactive and patient with her. Master Glenn has orchestrated opportunities for her to develop confidence and leadership skills by having her teach the younger members. Mount Pleasant Karate has built my daughter up, made her feel safe, strong, proud and accomplished, taught her awesome self defense skills, all while being surrounded by extraordinary people! read more

I came to Sa Bom Nim Glenn Arnold's school 3 years ago. I came from another school in NY and I was a third degree black belt. I ended up becoming the senior rank at this school. Master Arnold has been one of the most incredible teachers I've gotten the honor to work with. He has really given me so much support and opportunity since I have joined. He is not only my instructor but a mentor and has really guided me these past 3 years. I'm lucky to call him my friend. I have also made some of the best friends I've ever had through his school. Training here has really broadened my skills and knowledge as a martial artist. I don't know what I would do without Master Arnold and the incredible family I have at Mount Pleasant Karate. By joining, not only will you learn how to defend yourself but you will be exposed to this traditional Korean ancient art. This will change your life. Become skillful, well balanced and have a peaceful mind along with learning how to respect yourself and others. You will not regret choosing to better yourself and expand your body and mind. read more

For the past 20 years, I have been a student of Master Glenn Arnold, a Master Instructor of Tang Soo Do Karate, which is a traditional Korean martial art that has been in existence for over 2,000 years. I highly recommend this school for children and adults alike. Both of my daughters began training as young girls, and the confidence, self-esteem, and self-defense skills that we have all gained has been invaluable. I have nothing but the highest respect for Master Glenn, and can tell you firsthand that this 8th Degree Blackbelt Master Instructor is the real deal. Discipline, respect, and impeccable technique are emphasized at Mt. Pleasant Karate, and if you want a truly authentic martial arts experience, don't go anywhere else! read more

I cannot say enough about Master Glenn. My 5 year old grandson has been going to him almost 1 year, and I have seen such a positive change in him both at school and at home. He is more attentive, better disciplined and concentrates easier, and socializes more with children his own age. The individualized attention Master Glenn gives to his students is also very special and has made a difference in how well my grandson responds to him. I am very thankful for teachers like Master Glenn, whose heart and dedication shows in his ability to teach. read more

Master Glenn is the best! If you're looking for a fantastic instructor, look no further. I signed my son up about a year ago after meeting Master Glenn for just a few minutes. It's apparent from initial conversations that he's great with kids and adults as well and his teaching style is perfect for both. I would highly recommend that you visit MPK prior to making a commitment to another school. I'm sure you'll love it as much as my family does. read more
