    My 7 year old started Han Mu Do in late August of 2024. I've been looking around to find a…read moredefensive style of martial arts for awhile (I wanted him to learn Aikido or Hapkido). I saw this place being recommended by many of the local moms in the Maple Valley/Covington Mom group on facebook, so I checked out their website and found that Han Mu Do incorporates Aikido/Hapkido in their teaching! I contacted Washington Han Mu Do for my son to attend the trial class. My son loved the trial class, and he wanted to continue (He is one of the most undecisive kid on this earth, and him wanting to continue is a big deal). It's been almost 2 months since he started, and he loves the classes. The environment is very family friendly and they teach the kids respect and discipline in addition to martial arts (which my son needs badly). Their prime location is also what sealed the deal for us. They are located within close distance from the local elementary schools, which makes it convenient to take my son to the class after picking him up from the after school program. In the same center, there is Taco Time and McDonalds just across the street for easy dinner after the class.

    Long time customer…read more Good place if you want a workout other than the gym and kickboxing. Not so great if you want a mix of the physical and mental, yin and yang, contrary to the yin-yang symbol incorporate into their logo. While Han Mu Do is a good form of martial arts, the Maple Valley location is the only location in Washington State. You will likely start over if you leave. With only a few licensed instructors, mature students are often relied upon heavily to lead lower students and classes. Favorites are compensated, others are not. As a result, the schedule is not reliable due to leader availability. Unlike Washington Han Mu Do, other martial arts studios often include some aspects of Asian philosophy, such as an active focus on the balance between mind and body, meditation as part of the session, and understanding that spirit and body need to be in harmony. This studio is about forms, sets, and workouts. Repeat. Overall, a good cost to experience ratio when compared to a gym or other exercise place. But is that really what you wanted to do when you join a martial arts studio?

    I can't praise them enough!!!…read more My oldest son was being bullied in the 2nd grade, which lead to a lack of confidence and a lot of anxiety. He was having a hard time in school and showing signs of depression at just seven years old. We knew of Ms. Mari's because my Nephew and Sister were former students who loved training there. They run a two month trial which allows you to see if this is something you would like to commit to. This deal is AMAZING! Two months of lessons with a uniform for just $99. I signed up both my seven and five year old sons and never looked back. One of the best parenting decisions I have made. My oldest has gained considerable confidence and belief in himself, while my five year old son is showing more respect and curbing his quick temper. They show the Tae Kwon Do moves and also explain the way you would use them in a real life application. If a student is in need of more assistance with a specific move they will have an instructor, or peer with a higher belt work solo with them to ensure that they get it. Do not hesitate to try Ms. Mari's! She's an amazing instructor and anyone fortunate enough to train with her should consider themselves lucky.

    We have been sending our boys to and Mari's for four years now. We love it because it is close to…read morehome, provides school pick up (and drop off if needed), they provide after school care during conference week and often have day camps when school is out (spring break, Xmas break, summer break). Ms Mari and her staff are kind but firm and our boys are learning skills for self defense as well as self confidence. This year our oldest has joined the leadership team which will continue his personal growth. For us it is an after school care option that provides physical activity with discipline. We highly recommend this dojang for your kiddos.

    What a great workout and skills development. Regarding the previous review, I too had to cancel,…read moredue to extenuating circumstances, and they sent me a simple link to fill out for cancellation, which they are happy to do if you communicate up front you have a move coming up, etc.

    I hate having to write this review and have put it off for a couple years, because my experience…read morewas a mix of being really happy with the training and the friendly community but extremely disappointed with them for refusing to stop billing me after I left. It was a month to month membership and they billed me for 4 months I wasn't a member, even though I kept emailing them asking them to stop. At first they said they'd handle it, then they stopped answering my emails altogether. Who knows how much more money they would have taken if I hadn't called my bank. Oh, also I was sick with cancer when they did all this to me. That's why I had to stop training. So that's what I came here to say: 1) DO NOT give them your checking account, give them your Credit Card. This will protect you if they do the same to you. 2) If they keep billing you for multiple months after you cancel, like they did to me, you will have to call your bank to stop the charges and get your bank to fight with them to get your money back. Mine was Bank of America, thank goodness they make it so easy to dispute fraudulent charges. And thank goodness for my friends who own a the Krav Maga studio in another city, for giving me the advice on how to handle a gym that won't stop billing me. I honestly wonder how many people don't know to do that, and how many people's money they "accidentally" keep taking even after the membership was cancelled.
