Seo Martial Arts Academy

May 2024

Master Jacke is really good with my two children, they have fun and have learnt a lot since they began. We will continue coming here, he is very patient, passionate, tolerant and strict at the same time, his classes are good to create a good environment with discipline and respect to others. I recommend his classes, a lot!

My daughter Rainbow has been attending here with Master J since she was 4 years old. She is now almost 7 & we love Master J so much. He is amazing, very patient, humble, kind hearted, & is an over all great Master. Highly recommend!

I've been training and studying under Master Seo for 2+ years. Master Seo is truly fluid in martial arts and can train you in multiple disciplines such as Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Kung Fu, Boxing, Weapon defense and weapons training like Escrima. His training will whip you into shape with different drills every class. If you ever considered trying martial arts come here, it's the place to be. Personally I'm looking forward to training here for a long time. Adult classes are mornings I think 11ish. Mostly kids in the afternoons and adults in the evenings and Saturday mornings. Black belts have their own classes, private classes are available too. There are many adults that do attend mid 20 somethings, parents of children students, working professionals, and personal trainers in their off time (myself included). The adult crowd is super friendly, caring, and community focused. Most adult classes have 2-5 student and always includes a warm up/stretching drills. Master Seo, or Master Jake as the kids call him is excellent with children. They love to play with him before and after his classes and sometimes rewards them with a treat (small piece of candy). He really gets the kids moving and can wear their energy out. The parents love him too. The facility is clean especially the studio. The floor is a soft foam safe for tumbling or the occasional slip. Master Seo has multiple training dummies, kicking targets, portable kicking bags, foldable tumbling mats, everything you could imagine. He has a human shaped training dummy dressed in a training Gi There is a parking lot in the back off of Haskell and parking in the front off Live Oak St. Always a clean bathroom. Two large-ish rooms for changing men's and women's, and a lobby for family and friends to wait with pictures and posters of past tournaments, professional exhibitions, belt ceremonies and students past and present hung on the wall.
