“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!“

“Master Lee is a phenomenal mentor and teacher. My 5 year old son has been taking his class for 3 months and is so much stronger, more focused, and disciplined than ever! My son was so excited one month after class when he was able to do the monkey bars at the playground. Master Lee is tough and sets high expectations. Earning belts is strictly based on merit and the kids feel so proud to achieve. This class is great for all ages of girls and boys. My daughter will be next as soon as she’s old enough. I highly recommend Master Ho Lee if you’re looking for Tae Kwon Do for your kids. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience so far.“

“United TKD in Carlstadt is just wonderful with the children of all ages and maturity level. I have my 2 boys who are currently active. Their experience has been nothing but great! They have learned discipline, self-confidence, self control and time management. As young as 4 years old my son was able to compete in TKD competions and build confidence in himself. Master Sam and Instructor John help the children strengthen their weak points and continue to build on their strengths. I highly recommend this center!“

“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!“

“I really enjoy coming here. Everyone is nice and i get a great workout. This is a very clean establishment with a positive work environment and that is the full truth. I recommend for both for children and adults of all ages. Love it here.“

“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.“

“Strong is a great gym with great teachers. I have been taking the adult kickboxing classes for over a year and I love it! The gym provides a safe, friendly atmosphere and it is amazing what a great workout you get in one hour! Students range from 16 to 60, men and women.I had worked out in other ways over the years but had never done kickboxing before. It is definitely challenging at first but in 2-3 weeks, you get in the groove for both the conditioning and the kick-boxing parts. And it's way more fun than programs like Orange Theory or just lifting weights.I highly recommend Strong Martial Arts. It really is a great workout option for all skill levels.“

“I've been training at Velella Martial Arts for over 8 months.Guy Velella is by far the best trainer I've ever worked with, very motivating and knowledgeable.Love the energy and atmosphere he brings to his classes.This is the best place if you are looking to learn life changing/saving skillswhile getting in the best physical shape of your life. The program is friendly yet tough and I’m loving it!“

“Great place to train, very knowledgable and experienced judges and everyone else who trains there is friendly and supportive!“

“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 son loves Master Joe, he was first introduced via his school. Now I got him signed up for unlimited classes. 100% recommend ?“

“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.“

“Amazing place! My son loves each class and has been going for almost 2 years. He has learned so much in this time! They staff is supportive and helpful and really cares about each and every one of them. Highly recommend.“

“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!“
