Martial Arts Schools near Jackson

“Just took my daughter to the kickboxing class and ended up joining myself. The instructor was great and my daughter can’t wait to start the class.“

“Master Lee epitomizes the idea of Master. He is kind, patient, and demanding. Like the art he has mastered, he has a balance that is perfectly matched. Our family's life has been enriched through our experiences with Lee's Martial Art and TKD. Thanks.“

“Friends referred me to Black Sails and I’m so happy they did. The owner and instructors are awesome. They get to know each student’s skill level so they can teach at the right level for everyone and so when it’s time for drilling or sparring they can pair people up who will challenge each other safely. They are skilled teachers, and always put safety first. I’ve trained at many other gyms over the years where I’ve gotten injuries so I appreciate having really good training here without feeling like I’m going to get mangled lol
In addition the gym is a great space and it’s CLEAN. Love it!“

“Love this place, Great for training and gaining experience
100% recommend. You'll be a beast for training here“

“I trained there for 16 years. Great school with excellent instructors. They should be, I was one of their instructors. ?“

“While looking for a way to improve my son's focus, gross motor skills, and all around athleticism, we tried talking with several instructors in martial arts classes. None were as open, receptive, and ready to give honest feedback as Mr. Chris Shoemaker, the current owner of Ridgeland Taekwondo.

Now we've been in classes for almost 6 months and there are no regrets in the decision to put the journey in his hands. There is a tangible care given to each student in their progress by Mr. Shoemaker and his black belt instructors.

If you're looking for a baby-sitting belt factory handing out participation trophies, you're going to become disenamoured by the process of hard work (but with plenty of fun... it should also be fun!), practice, and your child earning his or her place. But if you're looking to shape your child's future for the better with the discipline and sport of Taekwondo, you won't regret bringing your child to Ridgeland Tawkwondo.“

“This is a wonderful place with amazing instructors. My son went there for years and absolutely loved it! He will carry the memories of what he learned and the personal relationships he formed for the rest if his life! The only reason he is no longer going there is bc we had to move. I highly recommend going there.“
