“I was reluctant to enroll my 8-year-old son, but it has proven to be worth every penny. In fact, less than a week after enrolling one child, my 4-year-old son and husband enrolled as well. Sky Centers has the most exceptional senseis. They know all the children’s names, which blows my mind. The students receive a ton of personalized attention. The senseis know how to correct their students’ form in a way that instills confidence at the same time, all while having fun. My kids absolutely love going to karate classes. So does my husband. I’ve seen such a change in my children’s self-confidence in just a few months. There are Parents Night Out events where the kids get dropped off for several hours and have fun at a themed event (glow-nunchucks, foam swords, Nerf night, etc.). My 8-year-old has a blast at these events! The students are respectful and kind. When we were learning how to tie the belt, so many different students helped us tie it and tried to teach us how to tie it. That’s the atmosphere of the place… people help and welcome each other. I can’t say enough positive things about Sky Centers.“

“Mr. and Mrs. Koffenberger run a very professional martial art studio. I have watched their business grow and improve over the past 10 years. When my son earned his black belt, he reflected that Mr. K. has been one of the most supportive people in his life. Mr. K's influence will be felt over his lifetime I'm sure.The teachings are fun and at the same focused on discipline. They participate in many community events and are family focused.“

“My 10 year old son and 12 year old daughter have been attending U.S. Martial Arts Academy for over a year. They enjoy the challenge and have thrived. Their Taekwondo skills have developed but there are several attributes they have acquired that we were not expecting. Their self-esteem, confidence, mood, and levels of determination have noticeably grown.“

“Both of my kids and I train here. It is an incredible fun, family focused learning atmosphere where everyone is willing to lend it hand and coach someone up. My kids have used the skills they have learned during the match chats in school and at home. A confidence both they and I have gained is immeasurable. Highly recommended victory.“

“My favorite memory in karate was when I was at my first day at karate. I felt great when I broke a board, also getting my white belt made me proud. When I got the certificate for graduating to white belt I felt like I was going to jump in the air. I was so excited that I joined karate.H. Arellano age 11**My favorite memory is when I was a yellow/orange belt in the karate we played dodgeball. It was so fun. My second favorite memory is when I graduated to my green/brown belt and I was strong, fearless and happy. I know that I am a role model and I know that I need to continue to do my best.J. Arellano age 10**My favorite memory about karate is when at the end of the year we do an end of the year spectacular and you get to be on stage, everybody gets to look how good that you do. At karate, how strong, focused and powerful that you can be with your skills.from Fin age 9“

“Our girls love this class. Master Sul is patient, knowledgeable and enjoys teaching. The class is giving them confidence, teaching self defense and valuable life skills about self esteem, respect, courtesy. They take pride in their forms and testing and are even more proud to show others. They are progressing nicely and we’ve seen a huge improvement at home with following directions and self control. Highly recommend!“

“I took the women's-only BJJ classes here, and they were fantastic. The instructors are incredibly kind and patient (I was a SUPER beginner) and accommodated my kids as audience members so I could join in as a single mom, the members are welcoming and supportive, and it's just a very friendly and safe environment. I would definitely recommend taking classes here!“

“I was a practitioner for about 15 years until the age of 18 and had to leave for college. I worked up to my second degree black belt and it took 15 years, so you can assume this school believes in the philosophies a martial arts school should: discipline, hard work and perseverance. I am currently 21 years old and I owe Hapkido my life as it taught me self discipline at such a young age and led me to carry those same philosophies throughout high school up into the present. I love Hapkido because of the culture this school produces. The culture of confidence, not arrogance. The culture of movement and life, not stillness. The culture of love, not hate. Grand Master Chang and Master Austria have given me life beyond my years. I highly recommend this school to anyone who cares about caring for themselves or their family. It focuses on self defense techniques that could literally save your life someday. This school is a place where kids can grow up and become leaders rather than followers. It is a place where you push yourself to be a better you. I can't stress how greatly appreciative I am of this wonderful school and all the amazing mentors I had. Do yourself a favor and sign up as soon as possible!“

“Returning to my karate dojo after a hiatus of 9 years was like coming home to family. The sensei here are truly exceptional, providing not only expert guidance in martial arts but also instilling values of discipline, respect, and perseverance. Since my return 4 years ago, I've experienced remarkable growth both in my skills and character, thanks to their dedication and encouragement. This dojo is more than just a place to train; it's a community where individuals are empowered to reach their fullest potential. I wholeheartedly recommend this dojo to anyone seeking not only to master karate but also to cultivate a strong mind, body, and spirit. I've put a picture of about 7-9 years ago below“
