“My son and I have been searching for an activity we could enjoy together, something that aligns with his interests. He’s not into traditional sports, but I've always seen his potential. As his father, my advice and motivational speeches often fell on deaf ears. Frustrated, I shared my dilemma with a colleague who had similar challenges and mentioned that he and his son had been attending Leadership Martial Arts for over a year and found it transformative.My son recently developed a passion for manga and anime, sparking his interest in martial arts. With the recommendation of “the right dojo” in mind, we decided to give it a try. Since then, we've discovered an incredible community of students and instructors who have helped him gain his confidence, improve his physical health and strength while increasing our bond as father and son.The instructors at LMA are kind, skilled, positive, and patient. They serve as excellent role models for people of all ages. The true community spirit here fosters the common goal of training mind, body, and spirit.Joining LMA has been an amazing experience for us, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and engaging environment to grow and connect.“
“Mudo Korean martial arts is Gastonia‘s best hidden secret that offers Hapkido taekwondo, along with a weapons classes and other private lessons. If I could give this place 100 stars I would! My daughter has truly excelled in Hapkido! She enjoys learning the Korean language and style of Hapkido martial arts. The instructor, Jeff goes above and beyond for all of his students. Jeff is professional, and dedicated to all of his students, and even the parents. Even the Hapkido students are committed and willing to help others and treat each other with dignity, compassion, kindness and respect.“
“I've been training at FTF since 2011. This is not a normal gym. If you're looking for staff and coaches that care about you and your health this is the place! They offer challenging classes and it doesn't matter what age you are or what fitness level you are. The classes are fun and rewarding. They teach you that life begins outside of your comfort zone. They even let you try your first class free... so you have nothing to lose! Come join the FTF family!“
“As an overweight, middle aged, uncoordinated guy I've always feared gyms. Mr. & Mrs. Fan put me at ease from the very beginning. No pressure, no long term commitments. That said, once you start your training you will not want to stop. Their knowledge and command of Tang Soo Do and their ability to lead and instruct all students, from elementary school-aged kids to black belts, was amazing. I liked being grouped by skill and experience, yet the Beginner Adult class always had a few of the more experienced students to give us new folks examples to follow and the ability to grow through shared training/teaching. Even through the initial Covid quarantines, Mr. Fan provided on line tutorials and on line classes, keeping us on schedule. The classes always adhered to the prescribed masking and social distancing guidelines. Well worth the investment. Thank you, Fans!“
“The instructors are great! Very comprehensive program and a wonderful after-school program“
