“My son and I love Ketzal martial arts!! Mrs Eiseman is the nicest most patient person I have ever met. She coaches the kids and gives them easy to follow instructions. My son has been going there for a month or two now and he is now saying “yes, mam” to me at home. I had no idea that karate would play such a big role in teaching my son what respect means and how he can use it to be successful in life. He even says yes mam to his teachers. I couldn’t be more proud of him!“

“Master Lee has been my martial arts mentor and friend for many years. I know the person. He is not only an expert in Taekwondo and Hapkido at the highest levels, he demonstrates humility and integrity while living out a genuine compassion for his students. Students at Lee’s Martial Arts Academy gain not only the agility, skill and confidence of an accomplished martial artist, but also learn how to be better people in a challenging world. I highly recommend Lee’s Martial Arts Academy for anyone looking for the experience of family, fitness, and an expert focus on martial arts training.“

“My 6 year old daughter started training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Mata Leao one year ago at the age of 5.She loves the physical challenge of the classes and mini sparring sessions. She also enjoys the fun games played in each kids class that also improve her martial arts skills and overall sports agility.As parents we love that Jiu Jitsu is very active so our daughter can get her energy out at the end of the school day. We also like that each class is taught by a high level martial artist with years of experience.The best result for kids is the confidence that Mata Leao martial arts programs build. They have a great focus on de-escalation of conflict wherever the kid may encounter it, on a school playground with a bully or at home with a sibling.Any kid at any age 5 to 18 would benefit from martial arts training at Mata Leao.“

“Our family loves this place! The owners Master Danny and Alicia Jang are great people and amazing instructors! They have this incredible way of teaching the kids discipline and skill, in a kind and thoughtful manner. They communicate well about expectations, testing, schedule etc through email or a very handy app on your phone. The studio as a whole is organized, clean and the classes are structured well. Our son has been attending classes here for over a month and has already learned a lot and gained a healthy amount of self-confidence. Plus it's great exercise too! We highly recommend this place for Taekwondo!“

“I love Master D.J. he is an amazing instructor. He is very dedicated to his work and is very helpful to his students. He always has opportunities for them to progress and get better. He is very patient and always has a vision on the next steps for each student and tailors his instruction to get them there. This is easily the best Taekwondo school in the state and the top performers crush it at tournaments.“

“My son takes lessons there and I plan to join him soon. Master Brown, Mr. Master Brown, and the other instructors are all highly skilled and knowledgeable about Taekwondo but also very patient and willing to work with students as much as they need to in order to help them progress in the sport. I don't think I would ever want to have my son go anywhere else to learn Taekwondo or any other martial arts, even though other schools are a little closer to us.“

“Trained about 20 years in different martial arts over the course of my life so far. This school is about my favorite of them all. David is a succinct, responsive teacher who keeps ego out of the gym. The place is warm, supportive and challenging. You won't find a better teacher in Oregon. Highly recommend.Teaches Muay Thai, JKD, Filipino martial arts and boxing, so there's likely something at the gym for just about anyone. Some people go to train to fight in the ring, while most are looking for challenging work outs that improve fitness, self-confidence and ultimately will help you defend yourself and others should you be called upon to do so. Great gym.“

“Our kids love coming here and they are learning so much! I love the way the teaching is approached: gentle, kind and firm instructional. All of the teachers do a great job of balancing instruction with fun. I also love that the kids don’t need to remember every little thing on test day or be perfect. They earn their belt in class and then the test is their time to shine. I would recommend it for every child. I wish we could magically have better parking, but that can’t be helped :)“

“Still going strong and accepting new students!I was lucky enough to find Ferrito Martial Arts about 3 years ago, it's been a blast. Instructor Ferrito is a wonderful teacher, during busy classes managing to be able to give one on one instruction on a wide range of techniques. I have found Instructor Ferrito to be a very patient teacher whether he is working with a beginner adult or a blue belt pre-teen, he fits his teaching to the student.This class has been great at giving me a good work out while providing vital self defense techniques. Farang Hapkido uses an effective mix of joint locks, strikes, grappling, and weapons to develop a self defense style that can work for any body type and is flexible enough to be adapted to any situation.I feel fortunate to have found a martial arts family with this school.“

“In the two years I've been doing aikido at this dojo I feel it's helped me to become a better person. Not only does it help strengthen my physical abilities but the areas I've noticed the most improvement is focus, commitment, and achieving calmness in everyday life. I saw an increase in my test scores at school, my ability to handle difficult social situations, and better sleep at night. I always feel energized and peaceful after every class. I've found an awesome and positive community in the people there and I'm so grateful for the friends I've made along with it. I genuinely suggest joining if you're feeling directionless in life and need guidance on being successful, calm, and positive.“

“This is a great martial arts class. The instructor is extremely patient while, at the same time, maintains discipline in the classroom. The prices for the classes and uniforms are great, belts are free, and students can make up a missed class by coming into one of his other classes. There also a free practice session in local parks on Thursdays & (I think) Saturdays hosted by some of the black belt students.“

“Criticizing an instructor without knowing their background is absurd and when said instructor has moved on from competing to train a martial art that has such an extensive and rich history, criticizing that art is equally absurd. Small Circle jujitsu was developed by Prof. Wally Jay and is based on classical jujitsu, and incorporates judo, boxing, wrestling, Escrima and Wing Chun kung fu. So because of this, Small Circle techniques are not only applicable to jujitsu, but blends beautifully with other styles of martial arts. It's true they don't concentrate on ground techniques as does BJJ, and they're not a kickboxing or boxing school nor are they training competitive wrestling. They train a combination of non-lethal pain compliance control holds and methods of restraining and controlling opponents with throws, takedowns. There is a reason that police departments worldwide use similar techniques that are taught at Portland Jujitsu, it works Small Circle Jujitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu incorporate many similar techniques, but with. different emphasis that make both Jiu-Jitsu's so effective.Sensei Miller is also an asset to the community with his self defense/self confidence classes he teaches for the blind and kids classes. In addition to these classes he is contemplating adding upcoming classes for fall prevention and balance for seniors“
