“If you are considering starting your martial arts journey or looking for a new studio to call home, I wholeheartedly recommend Moo Duk Kwan HQ (formerly known as Hwang Karate). Master Erik Orella is a world-class Instructor and a Certified Sa Bom ("Instructor of Instructors") who can effectively relate to individuals of all ages and ranks. He is extremely talented at tailoring his guidance to suit your level and goals.The classes are well-structured and dynamic, keeping each session engaging and challenging. Beyond the benefits of physical fitness and mental focus, the studio instills valuable life lessons such as discipline, perseverence, and respect. Moo Duk Kwan HQ is much more than a place to train - it's a place to grow, learn and become the best version of yourself!“

“Excellent instruction. Very good with kids of all ages. Teaches focus, respect and discipline along with the art with positive encouragement and reinforcement. Highly recommend.“

“I enrolled my daughter and niece's into this school a few months ago. After seeing how obsessed my daughter is with Akido and with some encouragement from Sempi Frank and Daniel, I got on the mat. It was the best decision.You get to train with both the students and Sempi’s. And let me tell you, the Sempi’s are great!! I have had the pleasure to be trained by Sempi Daniel, Olga, Darrel, Barry, Paul, and Tom,(who’s a total bada$$). They are all patient and encouraging.The best part about training here is that you feel at home.Sensi Jay believes in creating more than just a school. He believes in creating a community and he has succeeded. He makes you feel welcomed from the first day.So if you are on the fence about joining, I encourage you to come in and try one class. You won’t regret it. Plus, it’s a great workout!!“

“Our son loves Martial Arts for Life and has really thrived in the program. He looks forward to class and loves showing us all of his new moves. We love the family feel of the program and all of the confidence he’s gaining along the way!“

“It's been a life changing Experience. From the very first day, my son knew he was in for something special. While visiting White Tiger Dojo, as soon as I noticed my son's reaction when he first met Sensei Darren, I immediately received that unspoken message. I never said this out loud, but I believe it was meant to be. In these past 9 months, my son learned the importance of self-discipline, he learned to respect his Sensei, his partners and the martial arts tradition. Lastly it boosted my son's confidence, focus and concentration in ways I never thought possible. I strongly recommend White Tiger Dojo to anyone. I seriously would join the adult classes if I had some "me" time. Thank you White Tiger Dojo and Thank you Sensei Darren!“

The coaches' dedication and expertise in the disciplines ensure that I'm not only getting a challenging workout but also learning and improving with each session.

“I was looking for a taekwondo academy for my child that felt personal and not like a factory churning out classes without building a relationship between teacher and student. Master Chun’s academy provides that personal atmosphere where you know your child won’t be overlooked. It is perfect for a parent who wants their child to learn TKD, not only for its physical benefits, but also to build discipline and develop character. I can’t say enough good things about Master Chun. He is a great combination of a strong leader who has high expectations for his students and a warm teacher who knows how to meet the students where they are. You won’t regret starting you or your child’s TKD journey with him!“

“Mr. Parks is the best!!! He is a great teacher and a great person!! Come here for great lessons!“

“I work a job that requires a lot of movement and lifting and the trainers have helped me learn the best ways to avoid injury. Highly recommend you check them out!“

“Even though Mooshim is nowhere near where I live, I can tell you that this Taekwondo school is outstanding. I met Master Amy several years ago while training at my local dojang. We became friendly and I know that her biggest passion in life is Taekwondo (OK...maybe a close second to her family! She does love them!). Master Amy has trained under multiple TKD Grandmasters and brings a refreshing perspective to the art: a perfect combination of traditional martial arts, fitness and sports acumen. Master Amy cares deeply about every one of her students and truly gets joy out of watching their growth and success. When covid shut everything down in March, I started training with her and her students online. She shifted gears and created asynchronous content for her students to access - but, more importantly, kept the flow of live classes going using zoom. Online-only classes continued until some of the restrictions started to lift. She is currently running hybrid classes so that she can address the needs of all. There are several students that are strictly online since they live in different parts of the US (even different time zones!). Since we're still at the height of the pandemic, all in-person participants require masks, temperature checks, hand sanitizer and substantial social distancing - so (in-person) class sizes are currently limited. Master Amy has taken all precautions - and then some - to ensure everyone's safety. She's been incredibly creative on how to teach nuanced techniques from a distance and will try anything to help bring her students along. If you're looking for a great way to get fit, have fun and learn an amazing, traditional martial art - check out Mooshim.“

“It was only for a short time, but it was a place where my son had fun and learned a lot. Thank you.“
