“our son LOVED his week at nature camp! he is really happy and enjoyed exploring the forest and learning about all of its inhabitants while making friends. Candace and Ray were so welcoming and understanding of kids who need a little extra time to feel comfortable in a new environment. at the end of the program our son was so confident and proud to take us on the trail their group would take. so glad we decided to sign him up for camp and that there is a nature program that also involves discovering and studying the environment a little further. looking forward to going to camps again in the future!“

“My teen son loves to learn Kendo here. Amazing Master Kim, he inspires my son to keep practicing and focusing on Kendo. This place is not close from home , we always spend at least 30 min to go. But it is worth!“

“Incredible! Everyone here, from the instructors, to the owners are humble and want to help you out. I knew I wanted to be active but was not wanting to go to a traditional gym. Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

Sensei is very knowledgeable and has passion for what he teaches, after a year being here, my daughter now decided to practice it and she loves it! The staff is super friendly and respect is the most important here! Highly recommended!!!“

“I went to Square Circle for a few years. I came in with absolutely no idea on how to kickbox let alone Muay Thai kickboxing. Not only did I learn kickboxing but I learned Brazilian Jujitsu as well. The instructors in both Kickboxing and BJJ are experienced fighters who professionally have completed in professional tournaments. I have made friends that I still talk to and have stayed in contact with. The school itself is well kept with the equipment and floor being sprayed and sanitized after each class. Cleanliness at a gym is utmost important and, in this facility, you will find it to be very well kept. The atmosphere during class is high energy and friendly. The instructors do an excellent job in welcoming new people and are attentive to their skill level. There is this tight bond that everyone has with each other before, during and after class. Whether you are an experienced kickboxer or have experience with BJJ or you want to learn either one I would highly recommend this school. Its friendly, knowledgeable, clean, the instructors are well experienced and the people who come to train are very diverse they come from all walks of life.“

“My 9 year-old son has been a student with the academy (formerly Edgewater Kung Fu Academy) for the past 2 years. He enjoys the classes and has made many friends. The instructors (Sifu Romain, Sifu Robinson, and Jiao Lian Begolli) are excellent and make the classes challenging and fun. My son is excited to work towards his sash (belt) rank journey. Our family highly recommends this martial arts academy.“

“My boys have been going to Faustinis for a year and a half and it has been so wonderful. Sensei Lynn and Sensei Brianna are wonderful teachers! Karate has helped my kids with their attention spans and their confidence and has also really helped them learn how to work hard for something. I would recommend this place to anyone with grade-school aged children!“

“The best wrestling club I've ever come across. Tons of mat space and equipment, tons of talent, incredible pedigree. All the best mma and bjj guys cross-train here. Other reviews seem to be somewhat out of date, this is mainly a wrestling gym now and no longer offers muay thai or boxing.“

“My son has been attending Tiger Kim's school for a few years now and has really enjoyed his experience. The school is well-organized, communicative with parents, and has created a family-like environment for all its students. It also has a great waiting/seating area where you can watch your kid's class. The Masters train the kids with a healthy balance of discipline and fun and are very supportive and patient. There are also a lot of fun activities planned for the kids during the year like a spring picnic, holiday party, and a Halloween party. In general, I would highly recommend Tiger Kim's Taekwondo school for kids of all ages.“

“I have been a member of CruzMMA for about 2 weeks now and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. All instructors are clear and concise with instructions. It is a competitive environment but everyone at the gym is nice and truly cares about each other. I have improved technique and form in a short matter of time. Professor Plinio and Professor Thiago are the best instructors I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend CruzMMA if you live in the area or if you are looking for a new environment to get great training.“

“I have practiced kumdo off and on for a few years at different locations, including in Korea. Of all the Masters who has taught me, Master Min is by far the best. Not only does he (and Master Lee) stress fundamentals of kumdo, which can easily be translated into any phases of life, but also - and more importantly - takes time to explain why. He and Master Lee are very knowledgeable and very personable.Although my current schedule doesn't allow me to practice now, I recently enrolled my two kids and have been very happy with this decision. My son, in particular, within a short period of time, has gained self-confidence. Martial arts can be monotonous at times, especially for kids. Master Min recognizes this and incorporates fun games that enhances kumdo skills for all kids to enjoy. Thank you, SMK!“

“The best martial arts teacher ever, he’s very nice, and he’s a professional. I’d recommend you guys to go here, I went here and it has changed my life.“

“Master Kim is an amazing teacher, I am thankfully for all He has helped our kids grow. Master Yoo is amazing and everytime we see him he always has encouragement for our kids, in true honesty I am very blessed to call this school our school! Thank you for always doing the best for our kids!“

“Where champions are made ! I’ve been going to this school since I was 3 years old and continue to admire it every day. They strive for greatness and push every student to be the best they can. I’m proud to call myself a student and competitions athlete of this school.“

“The instructors really care about their students and are very patient. You should come here if you are trying to learn karate.“
