“All of the staff care a great deal about their students and spend so much of their time thinking about each one's journey and how to help them reach their goals. Whether you're an adult or a parent, this is a phenomenal place for martial arts training. Master Huang is a professional. This place is an investment that pays ten-fold for self-confidence, manners, and physical fitness. It's hard to find a community as supportive and encouraging as this one.“

“Been here for two months and man.. all I can say is that this place is great all around. Wes is great at teaching Muay Thai, Deon is awesome and fun to be around and very great at demonstration and teaching, and coach Gary… the boss.. the sensei is very knowledgeable about jui jitsu and all around everything. Very smart and patient with everyone and really
knows how to teach anyone.. I love this place. It’s more than a gym or fighting academy to me. This place is home❤️‍?“

“Went to Ground Control for a special women's self-defense class hosted by Be Loud, a local non-profit dedicated to SA awareness and prevention. Erin, Elena, and Dana were all wonderful and went out of their way to help everyone feel comfortable. As someone who tries to avoid crowds in general, I was very hesitant coming into the class, but I walked away with very practical techniques.“

“Splendid martial arts school. My two boys are learning the skills of martial arts and also respect, integrity and perseverance. Highly recommend Black Belt Institute.“

“An incredible start to a journey. Fantastic, kind, patient instructors all in an extended family environment. The best decision I’ve made in many years.“

“We cannot say enough positive things about this Tae Kwon Do school and its instructors. Master Chong, Shin and Daniel consistently lead with compassion and respect, modeling these values in everything they do. We have been with this Tae kwon do family for 4 years now!

Their motto to always “try your best” goes far beyond the Tae Kwon Do mat. It has become something we repeat at home, at school, and in other sports, and we’ve seen firsthand how it helps build confidence, discipline, and perseverance.

One of the most impressive aspects of this program is how they involve their middle and high school athletes in mentoring the younger students. The benefits for both groups are amazing to see. Over the last four years, our son has grown in confidence and formed meaningful friendships.

The impact these masters have on their students reaches well beyond martial arts. They truly make a difference in young lives, and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication and mentorship.“

“The place is so much fun I do lion dancing and kung Fu. going everywhere for lion dances is the best you get to see and taste many new things while making other people happy.Highly recommend if you’re being bullied or just want to learn self defense.“

“This is a great welcoming club. Through exceptional instruction and trainings students learn Shotokan karate embracing tradition and proper technique. Definitely the place to be if you want to learn and enjoy practicing this martial art.“

“Amazing people. Took my daughter when she was younger. She loved it. Training was on point and she learned life skills to last a lifetime. Thank you for those wonderful memories.“

“My Son has been attending Alpha for almost a year now. Mostly all of the instructors are AWESOME! We’ve never had any real issues. I enjoy the class sizes, not to small not to big. They do follow the school systems schedule like most places and has after care for locals. Pricing is fair as well.“
