“Master Ho Lee's Taekwondo is simply Amazing!! Our son has been enrolled for 5 months. The difference between day one and now is night and day! My son today is stronger, more focused and is extremely more confident. Master Ho Lee teaches discipline, resilience, grit. My son is excited about every class, he has earned a yellow belt, and now he wants to keep going and earn other belts as goals. We could not be any prouder of the progress and transformation our son has made. Enrolling him to Master Lee's Taekwondo has to be one of the best decisions we made for him. If I could put 6 stars I would. Thank you, Master Ho Lee!!!“

“Dropped by for a trial class. Great gym to learn Muay thai. Everyone is so welcoming. Coach Nestor learned Muay Thai from the source, he lived in Thailand for about 8 years. He is very knowledgeable and pay attention to details. I really enjoyed the intensity of the class ??.“

“Coach Orlando and Coach Jay do a fantastic Job in teaching my son Muay Thai and BJJ, they have been teaching my son for a year now. They both have a positive attitude and make the experience fun and challenging for my son to excel.“

“TSMA Englewood has completely transformed me—physically, mentally, and socially. Before I started training here, I was just an average Asian Joe, unsure of myself and what I was capable of. I could barely make it through half a class, both physically and mentally, and my shyness held me back from truly connecting with others.

But six months later, everything has changed.

Now, I train 5 days a week while working 6 days, and I feel stronger and more resilient than I ever thought possible. I’ve gone from avoiding conversations to starting them with confidence, from feeling average to realizing that I’m capable of so much more than I ever imagined.

The program here is nothing short of life-changing. The instructors are passionate and supportive, and my classmates are genuinely encouraging and uplifting. It’s a community that pushes you to be your best self, even on the toughest days.

From my personal experience, I’ve learned that once you reach the point where you truly believe you can do anything with effort, you become unstoppable. Fearless. Limitless. There’s no obstacle too big, no goal too far away.

This journey has taught me the power of persistence and self-belief. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I know this is just the beginning. To anyone doubting themselves: trust the process, embrace the pain, enjoy the suffering and never stop pushing. You’re stronger than your excuses, you’re tougher than your belly fat!

Good job to me—and to the amazing team at TSMA Englewood for helping me unlock this version of myself. Here’s to even greater heights ahead!“

“My son has been coming for the past 3 years and has been one of his greatest experiences. Teachers and team are extremely dedicated. They engage the students through the entire classes. Great opportunity to have the kiddos learn self defense, values and discipline while having fun! Kudos to Master Michael and Master Choi“

“Great place for anyone; from small kids to adults. Very positive and friendly atmosphere, while teaching respect and discipline. It really shows that their priority is to teach and see their students improve and advance. Very pleased with my daughters progress, looking forward to more tournaments/trophy's.“

“My 5 year old recently started jiu jitsu here and everything about it has been incredible. The classes are fun and engaging. The instructors are amazing and my kid is thrilled to go to the dojo multiple times a week.“

“Great atmosphere. Beautiful and fun to train and learn some serious self defense and skills that will go beyond the mat.“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Chon-Ji Academy! Our 7-year-old son now 8 absolutely loves going to class — he’s always excited and full of energy when it’s time for training. The instructors are patient, kind, and encouraging, while still teaching discipline and respect. We’ve seen big improvements in his focus at, confidence, and listening skills — his teacher even mentioned it! While he still gets distracted at home sometimes (as kids do ?) The environment is very family-friendly and positive, and they truly care about each student. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a great martial arts program for kids!“

“Great school. All the coaches are very knowledgeable and dedicated to martial arts. The sensai and his wife are extremely kind and understanding. Highly recommend going here to practice any martial arts.“

“Incredible! Everyone here, from the instructors, to the owners are humble and want to help you out. I knew I wanted to be active but was not wanting to go to a traditional gym. Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

“Family Fitness has been such an important life style for our son Valentino who has join this family for the past 4-5 years and it has been the best decision ever. He has build his confidence, has learned respect, values, discipline and being courageous.. he is now a red belt going on his 3rd stripe and we can’t be more proud and happy for his accomplishments. The instructors push him to his limit specially Mr. X he saw potential on Valentino since day one he is always motivating him and proving to him that he has more to offer everyday and that has made his martial arts skills a lot stronger. Mr. X is very experienced and impressive.. has great teaching skills that makes all kids want more daily. He runs the Demo Team which is another motivating level of training for kids who are interested in being committed, dedicated and passionate. We truly love it here. If you want your kid/kids to learn how to defend themselves this is the place to call.“

“This place is really fun and has great coaching. I really like coming here because there are so many girls to train with !“

“My wife and I loved training at Square Circle. All the coaches are great and super knowledgable, but we particularly benefitted from Kru Rob's expertise. One thing that set Square Circle apart for us, though, was the community. There was a mix of levels, from folks currently competing to newer athletes, but everyone was super welcoming and eager to help / learn from one another. I definitely felt like it was a safe, fun place to spar, and bonus points for the beautiful space overlooking the Financial District. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to train Muay Thai in the city!“
