“My son has been taking classes at Power Training Center for a few years now, and he has really enjoyed his classes and grown. They work with the children on discipline and mindfulness, but they also have fun. He has enjoyed his TKD experience at their studio.“

“Master Nick’s is wonderful! We’ve been going regularly for almost two years. The instructors are knowledgeable and kind. I like that the schedule is flexible which is convenient for us. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in signing their child up!“

“I've been training with Kristen for the past few months and I am thrilled with the results! Her expertise and enthusiasm make each session both challenging and enjoyable. She always tailors the workouts to my personal goals and fitness level, and I've noticed significant improvements in my strength and stamina. Kristen’s positive attitude and encouragement really motivate me to push through even the toughest exercises. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a real change in their fitness journey. She's not just a trainer, but a true motivator and coach!“

“Master O is the best taekwondo instructor around. Joining his school was one of the best decisions we made for our daughters. They learned confidence and concentration as well as a love for life long fitness. They joined when they were 5 and 4 respectively and went all the way to earning their 3rd degree black belts. His taught them to focus through distractions as well as many other life lessons that put them on a path to graduating from HS and college with highest honors.“

“Awesome place for kids and adults! I was iffy joining at first since MMA was so new to me, but everyone makes you feel very welcomed and included- I’ve been at Hybrid now for 2+ years and absolutely love going. If I could go everyday I would!! Master Mike the main instructor has great energy and is immensely helpful, kind, and encouraging. Him and other instructors push you to be better mentally and physically, and work closely with everyone to make sure they are doing moves correctly. Classes are always so much fun, a great workout, and different every time you go. I highly recommend Hybrid!!“

“I’ve been a student here for almost 10 years now. I can easily and confidently say that this has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. Master Kim is always kind and welcoming to everyone, especially new students. However, he can be stern when need be, disciplining his students not just in Taekwondo, but also in their everyday life. I’ve never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend many kids to experience this place too.“

“I've been going here for almost eight years now and it's great for many reasons. You get to join a polity and welcoming community while getting into shape. Overall a great place to go to.“

“I have been sending my daughter there for 3 years now. We took the unlimited classes option and my daughter wants to go there every day. She has been going there almost 3-4 days weekly all 3 years.I love this place because of the skills they teach - not just martial arts, but other things like discipline and respect. The staff Master Martinez and Master Ivan are super friendly to kids. I would highly recommend this place to anyone across ages.“

“Our kids love TMMA. The masters are great in teaching taekwondo and motivating the kids with little stickers, but also pay attention to social skills as respect and values.Also, they strictly adhere to all Covid protocols, with small classes, masks, hand desinfection before/after the training etc.The lessons and belt tests can also be accessed via zoom, so parents (and other family members) can see how their kids progress.With every successfull belt test comes not only a new belt color, but also a trophy, which our kids are very proud of and love to display in their rooms. I can highly recommend this school!“

“Experience. Dedication. Self-Protection. These are the words [and concepts] people should expect from Westling's Martial Arts. Good people with great hearts, and a genuine desire to keep the community safe and healthy.“

“Grand Master Lee is awesome. His teaching of Hapkido, breathing techniques and cardio training is fun and a great way towards a healthy lifestyle.“

“My son started at Kickside a few months ago and he has enjoyed every minute. The positive experience here has helped him grow and come out of his shell. He’s more confident and proud of himself. I would definitely recommend giving Kickside a try. If you are looking for a place where your child can grow, and develop new skills, while the instructors hold them accountable, this is the place for you! Class sizes are not overcrowded and the instructors provide one on one help and guidance when needed. I can’t say enough good things! Ms. Reed and all the instructors truly listen to you and your goals for you or your child and help them become the best version of themselves.“

“Not sure if this guy is talking about the same school. Children’s classes were pushed back to later time to be more accommodating. A letter was sent home to parents and Coach Pat told the kids about time change few weeks leading up to the date. Uniform could be purchased through school or online. Pat gave the info in what was needed if you wanted to buy online. The Gi has to be purchased through Pat because of school logo just like in any other sport. Cost was comparable to online. Classes started on time as parents are allowed to sit in on class which is niceMy son started about 6 months ago and what a great school. Theirs a class every day of the week for my son at a very reasonable time. Coach/owner Pat is great with the kids setting boundaries being stern but also providing an environment that the kids have fun and learn.My son was very young when he started n knew nothing. Pat still took him in and seeing my sons skill set grow and the confidence Pat instills in him is great to see My son looks forward to going every time.“
