“I started this class a 4 foot 10 female who had 4 serious operations. My original 2 goals were to gain back my strength, and learn how to defend myself. Being 4 foot 10 and a female, you get underestimated quickly.The first thing I noticed in my first class was the close to my height female, who was a black belt and defending herself against guys much taller than her (Denise). That was the first sign that I was in the right place. Any woman who wants to gain confidence, and learn how to recognize just how much power she has should join this class, Denise is the best women's self-defense instructor.The second thing I began to hear and notice was that Sensei not only practices karate, he lives and breathes it. It takes dedication to practice something every day for more than 50 years. Along with learning how to defend myself, I started to get the urge to be disciplined and practice. I wanted to be as good as the higher belts that have been under Sensei, learning his dedication to the practice of karate.Wanting to learn, practice, and be good at something is a whole separate other goal from just wanting to learn how to defend myself. I found something that I enjoy doing and want to be better at.But, for someone who may be looking into taking this class just to get out of the house and join a group, this is the best group to join. This isn't just a karate class, it's a karate family. This is a group of people who will be your friend. Everyone in this class is caring. If someone is ill, they check up on them. If someone has a family emergency, they are quick to ask if there is anything they can do to help. And Sensei doesn't just see his students as bodies in the class, he cares for every single one of them along their journey through karate, however short or long it may be.“
“A wonderful studio, with passionate instructors, who create a family environment. This was our first journey into martial arts for our 5 year old, and I’m so grateful we found this dojo.“

“We've been going to Yoo's for years. The instructors are top-notch. They expect a lot from their students. They're wonderful role models. They really emphasize the importance of respect, family, and hard work. Yoo's is competitively ranked nationally. Master Jon and Master Brad work with students to build their strength, endurance, and confidence. I highly recommend Yoo's. They offer a free trial so you can come in and observe the class and try it out before you commit. Come give them a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“Excellent instruction and LeadershipI had the pleasure of visiting Testudo while I was home visiting my folks. My brother had previously gone and highly recommended the gym. Ervin has created an environment that is welcoming to adults and kids of all levels while keeping the safety of his students a top priority. I thoroughly enjoyed the technical portions of class as he masterfully presents the techniques and takes the time and gives the attention to make sure students both understand an execute effectively.The atmosphere is enhanced by the members of the gym who are also very kind and welcoming. As my brother said, they roll hard and fair and I felt safe for every visit I made during the weeks I was there, important for anyone, especially 40+ hobbyists like myself.As a father and teacher, I really respect and enjoy how he works with the kids in his gym. The children I saw rolling were very impressive both technically and in character and clearly have a lot of fun and feel safe in the room. If I lived in the area I would happily send my children to this gym. Ervin is a first class instructor for both kids and adults.This is an excellent school for anyone looking for a gym in the area. Thank you Ervin and the Testudo Team!“

“I want to give a major shout out to Trulynd Hall & Hannah Lee from Be Ryong Martial Arts studio in Alexandria. They went above and beyond to show our campers an amazing demonstration of basic TaeKwonDo skills. Highly recommend their instruction, patience, and expertise!“
“I had a great experience with the coaches and the facilities are great. The staff is extremely professional! As far as the culture goes the members are very respectful and courteous regardless of skill level. It's great to see a place where even the most experienced people are eager to help someone on their first day. Can't recommend this place enough! 5stars!“
