Martial Arts Schools near Hope Mills

“My son has been training at Smith Family Dojo for over two years, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As someone with 22 years of service in the Army, I understand the critical importance of discipline and structure in personal development. Smith Family Dojo does an excellent job reinforcing these values while creating a positive learning environment. Sensei Smith is truly a phenomenal instructor who has a gift for making complex techniques easy to understand. His teaching style connects with students of all ages and skill levels. The discipline and respect taught here extend far beyond martial arts, they're life lessons that will serve my son well in everything he does. I'm so pleased that I decided to begin training there alongside my son. Training together has been an incredible bonding experience, and I definitely plan on continuing for as long as my body allows me. It's never too late to start, and the supportive community at Smith Family Dojo makes everyone feel welcome regardless of age or experience level. I highly recommend Smith Family Dojo to any parent looking for quality martial arts instruction that emphasizes both physical skills and character development. The investment in training here has been invaluable for both my son and myself.“

“I love it here. Its so welcoming here my son only does taekwondo. I did have him in summer camp last year but wasnt a fan because my son told me kids were calling him names and what not so I took him out. Other than that, I love it and Master Ryu is great with the discipline and patience of each child on the mat. I do wish he make a YouTube channel for each belt color so kids can practice at home for their specific belt instead of waiting to come into class.“

“One of the best dojos in the state! The instructors are very nice but can be strict when needed. As myself a student the workouts are tiring after three classes a day but very helpful.“

“My son has been training here for three years now. He loves it. If you are looking for an outlet for a child who may be a tad bit introverted and quiet, I recommend this place. Master Kim has a way of reaching in and bringing out your child's confidence!“

“We can't say enough about how great this place has been for our child. Sensei Charles is so good with all of the kids, and he takes them as young as 3 years old. Highly recommend this dojo for anyone considering karate for their little ones.“

“Absolutely outstanding experience. Everyone is super welcoming and happy to roll and teach. Great place!“

“I'm so impressed with the instructors, discipline they install in their students. My grandson has been attending for a little over 2 years. I cannot believe how much his confidence and self esteem has risen. Fantastic program that I would recommend Elevo if you want to put your youth in a program“
