Hwa Rang Do Martial Art Academy

Jun 2020

After reading reviews online for hours, I chose Hwa Rang Do for our children's martial arts training. I am so glad I did. The reviews here didn't steer me wrong. We've been at HRD for over a year now and couldn't love it more. We started both of our kids the day after our son turned 4, since 4 was the youngest age they accept. He was excited and apprehensive. The entire staff have welcomed us in like family and made us all feel so comfortable. It has been great for building both physical strength and skills, as well as confidence. The instruction has been top-notch. Instructor Carlson handles the children with a perfect balance of strictness and kindness. When our children got their first "tip test" to help them prepare for their first belt test, he took his time to talk to them individually about what they had done well and what they could improve upon. It's sweet to see that he pays such close attention and gets to know them as individuals. He is a fabulous role model for them. Since quarantine/stay-home began, they have been taking classes online and when they say goodbye at the end of class, our little one yells, "Bye! Thank you! I love you and I miss you!" I have my master's in education and I have told many people that the instructors here are clearly trained in educational technique and experienced in how to help children learn. The skills they are learning go far beyond the dojang. When we are ready to start venturing back into public spaces, this will be one of the first places we allow our children to go in person. They are very careful and thoughtful of safety and cleanliness in every aspect. We plan to continue attending Hwa Rang Do for many years to come.
