Our younger son just celebrated his 4th birthday with his friends there and we can only recommend it!
The kids had so much fun, they had a great activity, all was super organized and flexible for our needs.“

“I absolutely love this place! I signed my grandson up for lessons about two weeks ago and his progression has been amazing. We tried all types of sports activities and he just did not like it, but since we signed him up for lessons he is so excited to go to his lessons. It is a family run business and I love how they interact with the youth and more experienced members. Each Sensei has a particular way they instruct but they communicate well. My grandson who just enjoyed playing video games now looks forward to going to his sessions.The instructors (Sensei) are well accomplished Masters/Champions but with a very humble approach to teaching.“

“I recently took a self-defense class with my daughter, and it was a truly empowering experience for both of us.

Juan and his wife Mari created a welcoming, supportive environment that made us look forward to each and every class.

Beyond just teaching practical skills, they offered invaluable advice on awareness, boundaries, and how to stay calm and focused in challenging situations.

By the end of the course, both my daughter and I walked away with a newfound sense of confidence. We are incredibly grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking to build both skill and self-assurance in a supportive and empowering setting.“

“We started our son at World Champion Taekwondo a few months ago and we couldn’t be happier. They do such a great job keeping the kids engaged as they teach taekwondo, discipline, respect, sportsmanship, and confidence. It’s also a great place to have a birthday party!“

“Good place run by a caring family. My son looks forward to his classes. And looking forward to progress to big boys class.“

“Nick is one of the best instructors on the planet. He is world-class in both MMA and jiu-jitsu. There is not a single other school in the area that could compete with them!“

“20/10 "Grand Master Pereira is the rare find in the martial arts world: a true master who maintains the 'white belt' spirit. He is an incredible instructor and martial artist, but an even better human being. What sets him apart is his dedication to evolution. He doesn't just stick to Tang Soo Do; he constantly trains in various arts to ensure his students receive the most comprehensive and modern instruction possible. Despite his rank, his humility is unmatched—he has attended multiple workshops of mine as a student, proving he’s always looking to grow. Beyond the mats, his generosity is legendary. When I opened my new dojo, he personally donated 30 puzzle mats to help us get started. If you are looking for a mentor who leads by example, look no further than Grand Master Pereira."“
