There is always so much anxiety when you have to choose a place or person to tend to your child. It…read moreis a task I never like to do as a parent but when it was time to decide on a new after school program for our two boys--Guardian made the decision easy. I sent an email through their site just to ask some general questions and received a reply super fast. Then I decided to call and realized it was during a class time so I hung up without leaving a message. I was so surprised to still get a return call to see if my needs were met. Every time I had a question that I sent by email, I received a response. Finally decided I needed to see it for myself and during my initial visit one of the children came right up to me and told me, "I think you will like this place." That child was right! My boys have been attending now for about a month and they can't stop talking about it. They are 10 years old and 6 years old. They are learning respect and discipline without experiencing a military style boot camp. They get so much physical activity but yet time to just be a kid. I feel bad that I made them endure in another program (ESP) for the last year instead of finding Guardian sooner. It is like having a new little family. The kids quickly made friends and are learning the expectations of the classes. The Professors, Coaches and staff are super engaging and helpful. When my kids are happy and safe, it makes me feel secure that have chosen well. Thanks Guardian for all you do!

I'd like to preface this review with the fact that the gym has moved from the Broad St location to…read more1400B West College St, but I digress. There are a couple things about this gym that makes this unique compared to the other BJJ gyms in the area. We take a no nonsense approach to BJJ in the fact that we really put an emphasis on BJJ that works in self defense. Many of the schools around the area train for competition, but when it comes to competition, our gym's characteristics really manifest itself in competition. But the biggest reason why I'd give this gym 5 out of 5 is due to the fact that coach really cares for each of the students. He takes the time to make sure that we get each technique before moving on. Because of his coaching style, a mini community developed within the gym that really welcomes new practitioners and veterans alike. So if you're looking for a gym that provides a sense of community give us a try!

We love this gym! Our kids have been attending Jiu Jitsu kids classes for two years.

I had some previous martial arts experience before joining Taekwondo 101, but I can say with…read moreconfidence that this is by far the best, and most self defense focused martial arts school I've been a part of. I love being a student at this school, and the great part about training here is that what we learn is not only fun, but it's very practical as well. From my personal experience, most martial arts schools (regardless of style) nowadays are focused on teaching their students with just competing in competitions in mind. At Taekwondo 101 you will be more than prepared for competitions if you're wanting to compete, but most importantly you'll be prepared for the real world and self defense situations. Grand Master Joseph Veach has an abundance of knowledge in not only Taekwondo, but a lot of other martial arts as well. If you want your child to be prepared to defend his or herself, this is the place. If you're an adult, like myself, and you want to learn traditional Taekwondo, as well as practical self defense, this is the place. Come check it out for yourself!

Upon our party consultation, they threw out many ideas that all sounded great. they made the planning experience so easy and fun! I showed up to the studio with the place decked out for the party. Balloons, streamers, party favors... it was all included. Guests started arriving and it was soon evident that a Karate party is a HOT TICKET ITEM, as we were double our expectant guest list. Our hosts took it in stride and were gracious and accommodating-- truly hospitable. They hosted the kids with an array of fun games and lessons, while the adults were able to mingle in a designated area. It was perfect, and the kids were obviously having just as much fun as the adults. Listen, I was told multiple times that evening that it was the funnest kids party many of our guests had attended. I know i had a great time. I can't recommend KSA for a kids party highly enough. It was so easy and fun, I suspect my niece will have Karate parties from here on out. Pro-tip: if you have a kids party here the adults can enjoy adult beverages... you can thank me later.

We have a little experience with other Taekwondo studios that were more rigid and staunch, and the tone just didn't click for us. Rogers is exactly what I wanted for my kids! Also, the studio is clean and bright, never a gym smell like so many other places. One final note, it is a great value for your "kids activity" budget with up to three or five classes a week for less than we paid for once-a-week gymnastics.
