We were looking for an extracurricular activity for our two boys (ages 9 and 6) but were having…read moretrouble finding something that they really took to. They don't do well with someone yelling in their face and they're not big on sports. After asking around, we were recommended Mr. Sells Martial Arts. It's so nice that he offers a free, no commitment, one week trial to really see if the kid(s) enjoy the classes. After a week, our boys were hooked and look forward to attending every afternoon. Mr. Sells is so patient and knows his stuff. All the kids respect him and you can tell they all WANT to be there, they're not forced to be there. Mr. Sells will teach your child all things karate, but also sprinkles in some valuable life lessons with each class. None of that toxic masculinity stuff! Pricing is reasonable especially for how flexible the time/classes are. There's always going to be a class that fits your schedule and he doesn't make you feel bad if you miss one. I HIGHLY recommend this to everyone, but even more so if you have a timid/introverted kiddo. Try to get there a little early if you have questions, or call and leave a message, because classes start timely and he is busy with the kids once 3pm hits.

They're patient, encouraging, and do a great job teaching the fundamentals while making the classes fun and engaging. I really appreciate that the kids are not only staying active and learning Taekwondo, but also building confidence, discipline, respect, leadership skills, and the importance of being a role model. They create such a positive and welcoming environment. It's been really rewarding watching the kids learn new skills, improve and feel proud of their progress and accomplishments. We're so glad we found this place and definitely recommend it to other families!

It's been amazing seeing them grow as people as they learn discipline for the art. The vibe is quite friendly among students and parents. The facility is clean and spacious. Good place for toddlers, kids, and all ages. Highly recommend!! Thank you Master Aaron!!!

Taekwondo under Master Jin has done wonders for their confidence, stamina, focus, and respect, and it gives me the peace of mind to know that they will be able to defend themselves and others. Master Jin has trained wonderful teachers, some of whom now have their own schools in the area, and created a strong community. Despite his achievements, he is laid back and approachable. His teaching style is perfect for our kids, and we are very proud to be part of his school.

Eagle Talon Hap Ki Do is great for beginners, but it's also an opportunity for any truly advanced martial artists who want to add a skill set or increase overall skill. Master Kim has abilities and knowledge other instructors might not. I would encourage elite practitioners to use him as a resource in the Bay Area.

He adapts to each student and challenges us constantly. All the while, he keeps a positive and encouraging attitude. The focus here is good body/mental health and self-defense.

He's been training since he was two but lacks the structure and discipline that is important to move forward. He wanted to find a place where the kids actually practice and spar together and where he can prepare for competitions. He's never been able to do competitions as his last dojos didn't support that. We heard about Linda and the other instructors being good instructors and so nice so we dropped in randomly one day (no appointment). Fortunately, we got the time right and were still able to observe/check out their healthy mind and body warm-up. Then we enjoyed watching the kids spar with each other, safely with tons of pads and such, practicing their kicks and punches. It was great and my son is happy. Watsonville Taekwondo Academy is a cozy lil dojo that's tucked behind Bud's Barber Shop, in the Ace Hardware and Staff of Life parking lot. Other things we liked - the space is so clean! And the kids seem really kind to each other and disciplined. My son says he wants to go every day. Definitely see ya there!
