“I was a pleasure getting a tour form Jason the instructor on the new techniques in these different styles. They have so many programs to choose from and they are really encouraging you to come with your family and make it a family event, as their are not too many sports that you can actually participate in with your children. I highly recommend their best program the Family class up to 6 family members. The self discipline, self-motivation and the two biggest traits you really need to develop early in life. This school has this as their top priority. I cannot wait to bring my family here starting May 1, 2024.“

“We have been taking our sons here for 9+ years. Our youngest (I was pregnant when the older two joined) grew up watching his brothers and couldn't wait to join. It was his favorite birthday present! Grandmaster Hutson and Master Harville don't only teach "forms". They help teach our sons self-defense, respect, confidence, dedication/perseverance, patience, and community; building character and lifelong friendships. I recommend this school to everyone! Check out the website - there are family classes too.“
