“I trained with Shihan Cormier for years, during some of the most formative of my life. His impact on me as a person and martial artist cannot be understated. Though I no longer practice Goju Ryu, everywhere I went the skills and lessons I gained from Bu Ke Do Goju Ryu Karate have played a part in both training and life.“
“Getting all 3 of my children involved in martial arts classes at REAL Martial Arts has been one of the best parenting decisions I have ever made. Sensi Paul teaches each student what REAL means in the dojo, which is spectacular, but this is what REAL means to me as a parent.R - reinforcing respect and positive behaviors in my children every time they take a class. My children have learned very quickly that the level of respect, responsibility and positive behaviors they practice in martial arts are valuable to use in their everyday lives.E - energy and excitement are a staple of each coach and instructor. Even if one of my kids isn’t having a great day, they are immediately energized and show excitement as soon as class starts.A - advantageous long-term benefits in my children’s self-confidence, physical and mental health. Not only are students learning martial arts, but they are also learning how the behaviors practiced in martial arts can be used in everyday life. These lessons will stay with my children for a lifetime.L - love. It is obvious that everyone who works at REAL Martial Arts loves their jobs. Their positive energy, positive messaging and attention to each student is remarkable.“

I can not articulate what a wonderful staff they have here.They are definitely putting 110% into each class and very professional. The classes are so fun and it's an excellent workout for kids.

“I have two children currently enrolled at the Jae H. Kim Taekwon-do Institute in Ashland. My 14-year-old son has been taking classes for more than six years and is a 2nd Dan Black Belt, while my eight-year-old daughter just started attending classes about six months ago. The program at Jae H. Kim offers great benefits to both of them! First, the instruction at the school is topnotch. After years of classes, my son continues to learn new and improve existing techniques while remaining engaged and motivated in the process. There are also meaningful leadership opportunities for older students, such as being on the school’s demonstration team and helping to teach lower belts. Meanwhile, Ms. Shim and the other instructors use a teaching style that is consistently clear, positive, and firm, which is particularly effective with younger students. The school in Ashland offers additional perks as well, such as a very flexible class schedule and regular community-building events for students and their families. Both my children and I are extremely satisfied with Jae H. Kim and highly recommend their program!“
