Martial Arts Schools in Ridgeland

“An honor to walk in those doors and receive training from the best Hapkido practitioners anywhere. GM JR West has been teaching Hapkido for over 50 years! His knowledge of Hapkido is second to none. Every black belt in this Dojang has a high level of knowledge and ability. If you live locally and are looking for self defense, this is the place. If you are a serious Hapkido player, you need to visit here.“

“Absolutely great place to train. Super welcoming environment with amazing coaches. I highly recommend checking them out.“

“While looking for a way to improve my son's focus, gross motor skills, and all around athleticism, we tried talking with several instructors in martial arts classes. None were as open, receptive, and ready to give honest feedback as Mr. Chris Shoemaker, the current owner of Ridgeland Taekwondo.

Now we've been in classes for almost 6 months and there are no regrets in the decision to put the journey in his hands. There is a tangible care given to each student in their progress by Mr. Shoemaker and his black belt instructors.

If you're looking for a baby-sitting belt factory handing out participation trophies, you're going to become disenamoured by the process of hard work (but with plenty of fun... it should also be fun!), practice, and your child earning his or her place. But if you're looking to shape your child's future for the better with the discipline and sport of Taekwondo, you won't regret bringing your child to Ridgeland Tawkwondo.“
