Beyond expectations! Without question or hesitation, the best school around. The quality of instruction is only matched by the quality of character of the instructors and staff. Master Kim offers safe and detail oriented instruction. The staff and training partners are friendly and very helpful. The facility is extremely clean and spacious and the environment couldn’t be any more positive. I highly recommend this gym!
