Most of the students are children and teenagers, but I was pleased to find that Musa welcomes adult students as well. The master instructor is also the owner and one of the nicest people I've ever met. There is a deep roster of master-rank students who consistently help instruct classes, which are always rigorous and challenging. Discipline and respect are highly valued and modeled at all times. It's an ideal martial arts experience, especially for kids who would benefit from a structured, positive environment.They also offer childcare services on school closure days and have a fantastic summer camp program with daily field trips, which my children love.“
