“Our daughter started going to Kung Fu classes at the minimum age of 8 and we could not be happier almost 2 years later. Master Shoemaker is amazing with the kids and it's been so awesome to watch her skills improve. The whole staff are great, patient, disciplined, and teach values beyond just the martial arts. We love Ho-I!“
“this place is like my second home and it makes me so happy, it’s fun to do and it really boosts your confidence and strength, the instructors are nice and help you whenever your struggling, they help motivate you when breaking boards and at testing, helps get my mind off things when i’m not feeling my best. The people there are very nice and i learn from the older belts so i can train and do my best, which inspires me to help the younger belts as well. We also get to play games if we try our best. Tips for anyone who joins, listen to the instructor and be confident, if you look sloppy and don’t try your best you’re just going to look bad, be loud! if you start to lose your voice that means your doing well, kick hard and strong, watch the higher belts and learn from them, always say “Yes sir”, “No sir” or “I don’t know sir” when the instructor talks to youdon’t be afraid to ask for help, nobody will judge you here and it can be your safe space here, when i started i couldn’t even kick my leg higher than my waist but now i can kick as high as my head. They don’t JUST teach martial arts, they also teach manners and self control. Consider joining.“
“The instructors at Padron Dojo are absolutely wonderful. They make learning martial arts fun and engaging.When my son was frustrated and ready to give up on karate, Shihan Leo Padron exhibited exceptional patience and slowed everything down, ensuring we were all comfortable with each basic move before moving to the next. He did so in a way such that the whole family had fun and left feeling excited for a summer, perhaps a lifetime, full of lessons.Sensei Armondo Washington has been equally encouraging and patient. When I showed up for my first kickboxing/self defense class, I was excited but also nervous. Learning martial arts has been a dream of mine for ages, but I always felt too intimidated, like I wasn't strong enough. Sensei Armondo met me at my level and taught me, not only the basic kickboxing moves, but also what exercises to do to build my strength. He pushes me to be better and do my best, and always in a positive, encouraging way. I've made great strides, and I'm looking forward continuing to grow in strength, confidence and skill.“
“Started taking my son here a few weeks ago. He loves it and the staff is great with working with small children who lose focus quickly. They just did a renovation and name change, I wish them the best and look forward to enrolling my next kid here“
“My first visit to Aikido of Columbus was for a workshop for Being in Movement for everyday applications. Paul Linden is one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, truly empowering his students by listening and trusting us to experiment. Throughout the workshop as well as Aikido classes, Paul taught me to listen to my body, and helped me uncover truths about myself I thought didn't matter. Paul, thank you for the life changing experience, the community, the sacred space you've created (both in Columbus and in our minds/bodies), and for the global work you do building peace and healing trauma.“
“My 15 year old son loves this place. The people are extremely nice and patient with those who are learning. The practices are engaging and include all levels (basic, medium complexity and advanced) of activities.The cost is very affordable: 100$ per month for adults and 65$ for those under 18.You can come to any of the classes throughout the week, but ideally they recommend to come at least 2-3 times a week so that you keep progressing.“
“I can not say enough good things about the quality of Renshi Kelly as an instructor. My son has attended this dojo for many years and her no nonsense yet caring style has helped him evolve into a fine young man. I highly recommend this dojo for anyone considering enrolling their child.“
“Our son started in the Little Tigers class when he was 4. He has grown tremendously in terms of his physical abilities, his confidence, and his ability to communicate effectively. We attribute a lot of this growth directly to his participation in WMAI's Little Tiger Classes“
“My son is a student here for more than two years... Very professional and traditional Grand master (Tan Tran)who understands each and every student individually and take care of them. It helps every kid to improve their attitude and character too besides their physical empowerment .I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.“
“The best Martial Arts dojo in Ohio maybe in USA.Mr Dale is the best coach I have ever met.“
“I joined OMAC 14+ years ago, when my son was in elementary school and wanted to try martial arts. As a kid, he eventually lost interest, but I found a lifelong home. I'm now a 4th degree black belt and enjoy it so much, I also became a national level referee and instructor. Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly community.“
