“As a complete newbie to firearms, Cory’s class exceeded my expectations in every aspect. His expertise, hands-on teaching approach, and comprehensive course material left me feeling extremely confident in my ability to handle a firearm responsibly, understand the duties of ownership and carrying, and grasp the importance of carrying one in the first place. I highly recommend this course to both beginners and experienced individuals seeking to renew their concealed carry permit. A definite 10/10.“
“Master Kim is the best teacher, good needed discipline, overall a good place to learn taekwondo“
“I came to Twin Cities T’ai Chi seeking a practice that would help me with emotional and physical processing of a year filled with challenging life events. I got that and so much more.The instructors are knowledgeable and the studio members are warm and inviting. The studio itself is spacious and clean. There are folks with all sorts of different backgrounds, ages, and stories with what lead them to TCTC. I wasn’t expecting this but I ended up gaining a whole new community with fellow studio members and instructors that I love to see each week.If you’re seeking to bring a new practice and community into your life, Twin Cities T’ai Chi might be the perfect fit, as I discovered it was for me.Pro tips:1. Don’t be afraid when entering the building for the first time. The studio is a few floors up in an artists loft building with the doors to the street locked to the public. Arrive a little early to the class and there will be a friendly instructor to open the door and greet you when you arrive.2. Dress in layers and feel free to bring a small backpack. The space is toasty in the winter!3. You will get to work with different instructors each class. The variety is lovely and it creates a well rounded experience!“
“Signed my 9 year old up for a free intro class. I was impressed! Staff are friendly and professional, greeting us right away when we came in. My son was welcomed and jumped right in. The instructor had the kids moving and engaged the entire 1 hour class. Struck the right balance-lots of learning and reasonable expectations, while maintaining a fun and comfortable environment for a youth sport. Kids in the class seemed to like the instructors and I could tell they were approachable and kind. At the end of the class my son ran to me and asked if he could sign up for more, and we did!“
“I am Mohamed Daali I like master nick. He is great coach. i am attending his classes for more than one year. I was very bad at kicking now i am a champion cause of his coaching and teaching.“
“Enjoyable, transformative experience. Fitness for body, mind and spirit. Welcoming community.“
“Last spring I started training with Professor Gina. It has been an honor. She is an amazing instructor and fosters an awesome community.“
“Excellent studio! My son has been attending for about 1.5 years and loves it. The instructors are great with kids and are extremely knowledgeable.“
“Jake and Natalia are pillars in the community. This is a place where *all* can go to find a place to belong while learning valuable skills in MMA. My family has benefited so much - physically, emotionally, relationally- over the years. If you’re here searching for a place to learn MMA, you definitely want to check this place out.“
“Master Kim is fantastic! He literally treats his students like they are his own kids. My daughter loves being a part of Kukkiwon Taekowndo Academy!“
“I have been a student of Guro Chris McWethy for 3 years. He is a very good teacher who is very knowledgeable and a good communicator. The class is well organized and always interesting. I have learned real world basic and intermediate self defense techniques. There is also a lot of stick and some knife work. One night per week is sparring with padded sticks.“
“My children have had a wonderful experience at Sun Yi’s WBL in both Little Ninja’s and traditional TKD. We can’t recommend this place enough!“
“I have trained at Midwest Karate (Art of the empty hand) for several years ever since graduating from the University of Minesota under Sinsai Fusaro( in 1973 where he taught). When the dojo opened at Dayton's Bluff, I continued to train under Sinsai Forest,Joe, and Anita. The oraganization has a strong reputation for integrity, flexible class schedules, and reasonable rates. As Master Ginchin Funakoshi stated in the preface to his 1975 book,"Karate-Do, My Way of Life," Karate-do is not merely a sport that teaches self defense blocks, strikes, and kicks but a continued training discipline that promotes strong mind/body to help provide a defense against illness and disease as well. Thanks to his devotion to Karate-do, he never had to take medicne or consult a physician. Shotokan karate's traditional training system of stretching, basics, kata, and kumite (sparring) provides an outstanding opportunity to gain self confidence, strength and balance to feel more comfortable in any self defense situation that may arise.

“Capoeira is wonderful mix of martial arts, movement/acrobatics, and music. It has a rich history and tradition. Capoeira Minnesota is an excellent school in all the various aspects of the art. Students are challenged to grow in different directions, and instruction is top-notch and very well planned. Most importantly, my experience is that Capoeira Minnesota is a welcoming community of people, were everyone is supported, cared for, and celebrated in their Capoeira journey. Training with Capoeira Minnesota has been hugely beneficial for me and has led me to expand the boundaries of what I thought I could ever be able to do. Capoeira Minnesota has brought much joy into my life! I highly recommend it.“
“Kuk Sool Won was by far the best thing for me as a kid and growing into adulthood. The physical training empowered my life. The lessons learned still guide my life. I'm so thankful my parents allow me to join Kuk Sool Won. Earning my Blackbelt is one of my most proud experiences! I cant thank my instructors and the schools owners Steffen and Nicki enough. Truly a life changing experience!“
“This is a great place to learn Taekwondo! Master Brown is such a great teacher and is patient with the students. I highly recommend this place and encourage people to join.“
“The training, atmosphere, cleanliness, and support here is top tier. I've trained at several gyms over the years and none hold a candle to Warrior's Cove. The coaches take a stake in your training and give you an individualized plan to progress.This is a great place to become a better, smarter, stronger, and ultimately more capable version of yourself.“
“We’ve had great experience with them so far. Staff members are respectful and courteous. We have not experienced any issues with onboarding. We are excited to continue with them!We chose this dojang because of the skills one can learn from taekwondo, plus the incredible resume of Grand Master Lee.“
