“It's what you have been looking for, even if you didn't know it. All styles and backgrounds are welcomed. Just have a passion to learn, and you will feel like you found a new home.“
“I joined Master Kim’s school just to learn self defense. However, not only did I learn techniques, I learned confidence, courage, discipline, and control. As someone who had to focus on academics so much, Taekwondo proved to be a means of stress relief as well. It helped me gain so much self-confidence and made me much stronger, physically and mentally.“
“I switched my child from a different school to here, and I'm so glad that I did. We love the self-defense based curriculum and not just moves and forms. The staff is excellent with the kids, especially Miss Sarah.“
“Choe's HapKiDo's adult class has been an excellent way to get in shape while learning a new martial art. The instructors are knowledgeable and the other students all work together to make it a great environment. If you are looking for a great place to learn new skills and techniques I strongly recommend you give them a try!“
“my sister goes here and it looks like a lot of fun. i enjoy going to the tournaments and cheering her on“
“I've been training at CMMA for about 3 years. Outstanding instructors. Extremely positive atmosphere. I can't say enough great things about Paul, Tyler, Isaac, Logan and the rest of the staff/instructors. Don't hesitate to join.Steven J.“
“I registered my kids couple of months ago and our experience here is just Amazing during this span. The teachers, instructors and owners are all very helpful, respectful and professional. They have always been there if we need to reschedule or need help in general. Looking forward to seeing my kids more focused and disciplined!“
“Great place .. my children loved it so muchMaster Choi is so amazing . My son had problem with focusing , and he kept him in place even for first few times .“
“The best quality coach you will find in the area, whether you are a beginner or seasoned. Coach Victor is a class act in how he coaches, runs his business, and as a person. He is the only person I would ever train with until he stops coaching and I would trust him to train my child if and when I have one.
I started as a beginner, no experience, and I chose Muay Thai. We dabble in self defense as well. I take private lessons and Coach Victor is patient and knowledgeable.. I ask a lot of questions. I always leave in high spirits!
I shopped around when I was looking into different gyms. World class difference in the way Victor approaches his clients than the other gyms.“
“I studied under Grandmaster Bai and Master Soo when they were located in maryland...and I still have fond memories of training under their masterful guidance. I was even fortunate enough to be an instructor of a youth class. If you are interested In studying the Martial arts...this is the place to go. I miss having the school here...If they were still here my son would be studying with Master Bai!Thank you for years of knowledge and friendship!(Lorin Heath and family)“
“These guys are the best at empowerment and leaving the best in people while also helping them see the power within! If you want your child to surpass their potential this is the place to do it!!! Greatness is accomplished by pushing outside your comfort zones and expanding your horizons! This is THAT place.“
“My two daughters have attended U.S. Taido since 2019 and are on track to become black belts in one more year. The school is a family-owned and run business, founded in 1975 by Mitsunobu Uchida, a first-generation Japanese immigrant. It's one of the oldest martial arts schools in the country. The longevity of U.S. Taido is testimony to its positive impact on the community and the thousands of students who have trained here and at sister schools across the country.
U.S. Taido and its instructors are committed to training and mentoring students, from elementary-aged children to senior citizens. The instructors can be tough, but they have genuine concern for their students. Lifelong friendships and bonds are forged here, not only between students, but also families. My children have learned karate and discipline, but valuable life lessons as well. U.S. Taido has helped them to grow physically, mentally, and ethically.
As a parent, I have the utmost confidence that the instructors are invested in my children's safety and well-being. Though I don't train at U.S. Taido myself, my wife and I have received tremendous encouragement from the wholesome family atmosphere and community the school has built. I hope to support the school and its mission for many years to come.“
“Great school. It takes the time to teach all students and is a good community partner“
“Love love love this school! The instructors are awesome and always push to pull the best out of my son. They have definitely contributed towards my son’s growth. I feel so blessed that my son attends this school!“
“Awesome martial arts school. Great coaches, they are so good with the kids, very attentive to kids and help set the kids up for success. My son has been enjoying his trainings and likes his coaches very much!“
“Albornoz Karate school is really great for learning discipline. I really like this place and it’s amazing! I learned so much stuff and had fun with friends. I would recommend this for young kids.“
“Great experience with the program so far. Master Eddie Berrian shows great care for the students and you can tell the more advanced students really know their stuff. This is a no joke place, if you want your kids to really learn how to defend themselves bring them here, and the price is fantastic. Cant recommend enough.“
“Universal Martial Science and Fitness has the best teacher in the town who dedicates his time to each and every student and groom them. My kids love coming to learn here.“
“My son has been a student for the past 3 years. He loves it. He always says he has so much fun, yet loves the challenges he is faced with. He is almost at his 2nd degree in 3rd grade. As a teacher, I love that they integrate thr importance of school, respect for others, as well as themselves, and kindness in general. My 2nd son now attends and equally loves it. The head master is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about TKD. They treat everyone with such respect and make you feel comfortable while you wait for your child! There are many TKD studios; however, not all with the kind of heart this studio upholds.“
“Great and caring teachers, friendly environment and hands down one of the best Taekwondo club nationwide.“
“To say that the Dojo is a great place to train in Karate is a vast understatement: it is a life altering experience. My children go there and not only are they receiving top notch martial arts training, but they are trained to be the best people they can be. After my older child trained here for a year, I decided to join too, and I strongly regret not joining earlier. I'm learning a new sport, surrounded by a community of wonderful and supportive people, learning a new language, and learning new philosophies. I also feel the best I've felt in years: I've literally had a doctor prescribe more Karate for me. I have nothing but respect and feelings of joy towards the Dojo and all the staff there.“
“My children are students of this school. The grandmaster is very nice, and the masters are very professional. One of my kids is about to become a black belt, and I plan for all my children to become black belts at this school. One of the best TKD schools in this area for sure“
“I was one of the first students that took Master Kim's class more than 24 years ago. I remember the compassion Master Kim had for everyone and exemplifies and embodies the indomitable spirit of Tae Kwon Do. He never stopped believing in me and he is someone I thank for my personal experiences in getting started on a beautiful art.-Master Justin“
“My 8 yr. old son has been training with Master Pius for several years. He has become more focused and disciplined since starting. Master Pius is a tough instructor, but you can see the results in the kids!“
“Best environment. Best Sensei. Best karate-ka. 12 years at here, I hope I can keep going for rest of my life.“
“One of the best decisions we've ever made for our kids' personal development was joining the Abbots Bridge dojo family back in 2020. The amount of confidence, discipline, and physical fitness they've been able to achieve under the expert instruction of Schilke and Bello sensei's has been undeniable, yet taught in a way that is fun and exciting. The after school and summer camp programs have offered us the flexibility to "adult" while the kids are being taken care of the some of the best in the business!“
