The level of instruction was top notch, the rolls were challenging but not spazzy, and the team was extremely friendly.Khyl is a great instructor and goes into a great level of detail to ensure everyone is getting attention and executing the moves of the day correctly.He’s extremely personable and gave me a lot attention and tips for someone who he knew wasn’t joining his gym (I was upfront that I’m from out of town).

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.

“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!“

“Thomas & his wife are the ultimate duo! They are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and impactful in and outside of the dojo. You will not be disappointed, don't miss out on a great class filled with purpose, power, and so much more! I feel like a greater warrior after each class ?? Thank you so much, uce ????“
