Back in the 2000s I trained at Live Oak under Master Hughes for a decade as a teenager & young adult. His lessons totally transformed my approach to the world for the better. Now, after a decade out of training, I'm back at Live Oak to resume my practice of martial arts as an adult, and I can say for certain that master Hughes is not only as good a teacher as I remember, but an even better one. You could not ask for a teacher more invested in finding a way to help you learn, and though I am no longer as strong and agile as I was in my teens and twenties, I believe I am becoming the best version of myself thanks to this school.

I've been training here for about 4 months now. I was a bit worried to be starting taekwondo as an adult, but I didn't need to be worried at all! I've felt encouraged and welcome by the entire school, not just Master Hughes. Speaking of, not only does the man clearly know his stuff, but he's excellent at teaching it. I'm so enthusiastic about where my training can take me. Highly recommend coming to see what LOMA is about!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the instructor, Master Hughes, and Live Oak Martial Arts. Thank you, Jason/LOMA for being so awesome and encouraging, as well as offering a variety of class options each day!
