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.

I can't say enough great things about Impact Martial Arts Self Defense! My daughter has only been…read moretraining here for about three months, but the difference has been incredible. 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!

Master Aguilar is amazing! His energy, patience, determination, kindness are constantly displayed. It's clear that he and his team truly care about what they teach and the people they teach. Every one of the instructors are great teachers, and good people. They make a concerted effort to connect with each of their students, and our boys are no exception. I'll be the first to admit that our boys haven't always wanted to come to class, but the instructors have done a terrific job engaging them, teaching strength and discipline, but most importantly character. We originally signed them up to help instill self confidence, and the results are evident. A big thank you to team Kickforce from us and any prospective students. Keep up the good work!

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?
