WOW.
A big thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Wenenn for allowing me to be part of the Pride Martial Arts School. Never would have thought I could accomplish doing taekwondo and self defense class. This was way out of my comfort zone. I did a 4 week trial period. Found out it was very alluring wanting to come back. Made a decision to join Jan 15. I specially want to thank Mr. Palmer and all teenagers and adults who have given me the attitude of being positive (I can do it!).
With the last belt testing I earned my yellow belt. My confidence level is building slowly been very nervous before this. Learning a lot in self defense, I start out slow moving towards speed with movements.
I'm hoping to inspire the children and adults, they help me to keep improving myself.

Reviews
My granddaughter has taken classes for approximately 1 year now. I can’t believe how much she has learned.
My son also takes classes and it has helped him strengthen his core and helped his back issues.
Mr Palmer is a good teacher and amazing at remembering everyone’s name!
Master Palmer and his team run an amazing program here! We have been going officially for one year but have multiple other family members that have also attended for the last several years. The structure, discipline and fitness is amazing for all ages, especially kids. Highly recommend if you are looking for martial arts for adults and children alike.
