The two coaches are spectacular in teaching and are able to adapt towards their students, young and old. It fosters an environment of motivation and determination with your peers, and it with the combination of teaching excellence is what makes me rate this studio so highly. Six years have past since I first started, and I am now a continuously-learning black-belt student. I have made many close friends throughout my journey, participated in performances and competitions and grew immensely - both as a student and as a person. Those two-hour sessions now are a highlight of my high school days, and I sincerely recommend anyone and everyone to come for a visit; you, as well, may be entranced into this world of kungfu.

I've seen a number of young students that started in the kids class to become very good black belts. Black belts are not awarded if you're under 18. Every now and then the class will run 'Bull in the Ring'. This simulates what can happen out in the street when your attacker might come from behind or you're attacked by two or more assailants (sometimes with weapons). In sparring class, you may be placed on the mat, and you can practice your take down moves, and grapple. I've seen bloody noses and black eyes (unintentional of course!). Check out the classes.

My son's behavior and focus has improved tremendously and I give all the credit to Sensei Alec, Sensei Shihan, and all the senseis whom have helped my son be a better person today! My son is very hyperactive, can't hold still, and loses focus within minutes. However, after coming to Red Dragon Karate for almost an year now, my son is constantly changing to be a better person. Sensei Alec is very patient and knowledgeable. My son has a lot of respect and listens to sensei Alec more than me where I actually need to yell for my son to even listen to me! I am so glad I decided to bring my son here. All the staff are amazing, professional, and genuinely dedicated to making sure my son is learning as much as he can. It's a life changing event for my son and I highly recommend everyone to check out this dojo if you are looking to sign up for Karate.

First at her school and then eventually going directly to the dojo. I couldn't be happier or prouder of her growth. She works hard and loves her time there. You couldn't ask for more knowledgeable and patient teachers. The environment is respectful, they take learning very seriously but also know how to keep young kids engaged and having a great time. They remember every student's name, greet each parent personally and make it such a welcome environment for all. Couldn't ask for more than all that!

When we were deciding on the dojo to join. we did alot of homework and read many reviews of other Dojos. Many of those dojos had several disapponting remarks, But when we came upon A.W.K. we were excited about the possibility. We also spoke to several parents that had their kids coming here. They all said that Steve Wray is one of the best. He is very patient with the kids. His training focuses on hands-on training. I have spoken to Steve on many occasion on his lessons. He is not your typical Martial Arts trainer that goes by a curriculum that was taught to them. He has put together the lessons from his years of training and uses the most effective way that makes the technique work. Lessons learned from White belt all the way to Black Belt. His style is a hybrid style, pulling from Shotokan, Taekwondo, American Kenpo, plus many techniques he has developed himself. His lessons focuses on Sparring techniques and drills. He wants all his students to be able to defend themselves in any situation. He mixes up the lessons with both kicks and hands. He helps the kids build self confidence and control. Before each training class he greets each kid. At the end of the training day, he provides words of wisdom to his students. He is always reminding the students about showing respect and the right way to carry yourself. My kids love the lessons and love coming here.

I observed several groups of students going through their group as well as individual skills test. It took well over two hours to complete but even the very young students were well behaved and as attentive as they could, given their age. I was very impressed with how patient and compassionate the instructor was during testing, encouraging those that hesitated when they got stuck in the middle of their complicated routine with a gentle reminder of the next step. I was also impressed that instructions were given in Mandarin as well as in English which helps reinforce my grandson's language skills being half Chinese and being in a Chinese immersion class in elementary school. Not only are the students learning kung fu skills but also; discipline, memory skills, gross motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and learning to listen & follow directions, which enables children to develop fully. Being a retired educator/administrator, I was very pleased with what I witnessed.

My youngest son was introduced to YIC Taekwondo because his school mate and sisters were having fun at YIC. My wife and I took our youngest son one summer day to YIC and the rest is history. Let's begin with the family atmosphere The Grand Master Young In Cheon and Master Alan have created. Any time you see either one of them or any of the other Masters or Instructors, you instantly feel as if you are with family. They will make any new student and their family feel welcomed. My family and I had the opportunity to attend the Grand Master's birthday party and it was a blast. It was a potluck with good food and great company. Lets move on to the Taekwondo. Master Alan and all the other Masters & Instructors are incredible. They teach all the students discipline, respect, and they give them a great workout. They all have great patients and they know how to encourage and push the students. Master Alan does not sugar coat his lessons and feedback to the students. I appreciate and respect that tremendously because that is how my youngest son has gained his confidence. We have noticed the change in my son's attitude at home and I credit Master Alan and the rest of the team for that. They really know how to teach students to be respectful to adults. My son has really embraced Taekwondo as a whole. As my son has progressed and earned his different colored belts, he looks forward to the day of the belt test. He enjoys breaking his board, answering some Taekwondo questions, and the poomsae portion of the test. My son recently started sparring and he loves it. At first he was intimidated and a bit nervous, but now he can't wait to go to sparring class. If you are looking for a Taekwondo studio to join, I highly recommend you checkout YIC. My son has been attending now for 6 months, and he has enjoyed every moment of the experience. To be truly honest, so have I.

Master Alan and Master Louis are amazing at building both character and strength in the kids. Both my sons have grown so much- not just physically, but in discipline, confidence, and respect for their masters. It's been incredible to watch them develop strong habits, focus, and a positive mindset through their training. What I love most is how much they truly enjoy it. They've never once wanted to quit--instead, they are motivated to keep progressing, earn higher belts, and one day become leaders in class. Highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their kids can grow, thrive, and have fun!
