The best martial arts academy you will find in the area! Others might have shiny bells and whistles…read morebut if you're looking for an academy that is a family friendly and the coaches are truly focused on you child's whole development then this is where you need to be. When I say 'whole development' I mean that your child will not only learn the ins and outs of martial arts. He/she will practice the skills needed to demonstrate confidence, communication with adults and peers, showing respect, scholastic accountability, community building, and much more. At Aventura Martial Arts you're walking into a full family support center where you can go to the Sensi's with any issue you might be experiencing and they will work with you and your child to achieve the results you want, or at least to get closer to that light at the end of the tunnel! I would highly recommend them to every family.

We came here last week to take their free introductory class for my 5 year old. He's pretty shy at…read morefirst and doesn't like loud noises, but at the end of the 35 minute class, he was begging me to sign him up for more classes. The only "loud noises" are the 4-6 year old kids shouting in unison, "Yes, Sir!" (super adorable). The prices are very reasonable, especially with their promo going on right now that includes the uniform and a month of unlimited classes. Then you can choose from 1 to 3 classes per week at different price tiers. I was really impressed with the space - clean, colorful signage, family friendly, and inviting. We even found the other parents to be friendly as well...they were applauding my son's efforts, knowing it was his first time. There are two rows of chairs along the side of the room where parents can sit and observe the class. Another wall is all mirrors so the kids can easily see the rest of the class and themselves. There's a smaller equipment room off to the side with a water fountain, so no need to bring bottled water. Because it was Friday evening (so the most popular class), there were a handful of young instructors helping out in addition to Master Yu. I loved that. Their ages ranged (from what I could tell) to high school age to college... they were all super supportive and knew their stuff! Sometimes, adults can be intimidating to little kids, so to see younger Tae Kwon Do students helping with the class instantly put my son at ease. The class is well-structured with Tae Kwon Do instruction, but also exercise drills that start with stretching. Sometimes the counting of the moves is done in English, and sometimes in Korean (love it!!). The class ends with all of the kids bowing to their parents and saying, "I love you". There is a theme of teaching the kids respect and courtesy throughout the class, and I think that's what I took away most from this facility. While my son may think he's training to be a Lego Ninjago warrior, I know that he's actually learning valuable life lessons. We're very much looking forward to making Yong In Tae Kwon Do an important part of my son's life!

My kids love to learn languages and now they're learning a lot of Korean. My daughter is now 13 and she has blossomed in in this program. She came in with low self-esteem where she was hiding her face with her hair and wearing long clothes to hide under. Now she goes to school with her uniform no hoodie. She actually puts her hair up and walks happily into school. These are the kind of character transformations that you hear martial arts making in children. I recommend that you go in and meet with them, take a free class like my kids did in the beginning to see how they feel there and how they like the atmosphere and the Masters. You will be impressed.

Extra curricular activities should be a safe place for your children to be themselves, make new…read morefriends and learn new skills. This program came recommended by a family friend, when we first joined things seem to be going OK but overtime that changed. Master Creed is an extremely kind and caring instructor, his staff might not all be as well versed in the care of children and how to speak to them which is why we recommend looking at other programs in the area. Our daughter's participate in gymnastics, golf, soccer and karate. My oldest being so excited to join the karate program was sharing with Mr. Maurer about her recent performance in her golf program and that she was thinking of taking a break from gymnastics. Mr. Maurer is usually the finance guy who will upsell each family on their programs, which is understandable we all have a job to do and need to earn money. In this same breath of her being so beyond excited to be trying something new (which was golf) Mr. Maurer had the audacity to tell her to quit golf, as it is not as fun or cool as karate and ask mommy and daddy to pay for the black belt program. Which we are well aware exists but have no interest considering they force you into prepayment for months long commitments, you also are forced to purchase gear and equipment your child may not need or utilize unless they join that more expensive program (it will be sitting collecting dust). She came home from that interaction so speechless and confused, an adult she looked up to telling her that her new interests are silly and unimportant, pushing something on her she has no interest in and that had been communicated to him by both myself and husband, showed this was not the place for us. My mother in law came home also upset after hearing him address an 8 year old this way. I decided to bring it to master Creeds attention and his sympathy was with us but the corrective action did nothing for my child, nor do I think enough was done at the time in regards to holding Mr Maurer accountable. The class she attended after this conversation Master Creeds decided to make directly towards cheering her on in regards to trying something new (golf), which was appreciated but unnecessary considering she should've never been made to feel that way in the first place. When he did mention the golf it brought herto tears because she had what Mr Maurer said to her in the back of her mind. We never returned after that day, we paid for a program we could not complete. It was worth noting, there's a specific way to address kids and adults. Food for thought when shopping around for a program your entire family should feel comfortable with I don't think this is an honest place to bring your kids.

I've been through three other schools previously who nickeled and dimed me every time I walked in or so that's how it felt. Other schools also did not foster a sense of team and belonging. Level Up offers a quality traditional Korean taekwondo program and a true sense of camaraderie amongst parents, students and siblings, making it a true family sport. They also offer more a more specialized poomsae program than most other schools. We parents spend countless hours at the studio. All of these details have been well though out. The studio has wireless so you can get some work done. They also have a coffee and tea bar and a sibling area stocked with toys, books and computers. It's an amazing customer service experience and immaculately clean. We won't train anywhere else!!
