They do a wonderful job working on karate skills while also making it fun for the age level. I would highly recommend satori to anyone interested in enrolling their child in karate.“

“If you are considering starting your martial arts journey or looking for a new studio to call home, I wholeheartedly recommend Moo Duk Kwan HQ (formerly known as Hwang Karate). Master Erik Orella is a world-class Instructor and a Certified Sa Bom ("Instructor of Instructors") who can effectively relate to individuals of all ages and ranks. He is extremely talented at tailoring his guidance to suit your level and goals.The classes are well-structured and dynamic, keeping each session engaging and challenging. Beyond the benefits of physical fitness and mental focus, the studio instills valuable life lessons such as discipline, perseverence, and respect. Moo Duk Kwan HQ is much more than a place to train - it's a place to grow, learn and become the best version of yourself!“

“My sons (5 & 7 years old) have been taking classes here for the past few months. It was a little intimidating for them at first, but the senseis are wonderful and have been supportive and interactive, leading my kids to love it. In addition to learning skills, in the class they teach about self-discipline, continuing to try when things seem tough, and more. I highly recommend it and am looking forward to taking classes there myself, soon!“

“It has now been two years since we first met Sensei Darren, and I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact he's had on my two sons. Sensei Darren exemplifies discipline and integrity – belts are never given but must be truly earned. His emphasis on self-respect and attention to detail, like ensuring belts are tied perfectly, reflects his philosophy that martial arts is not just about physical skills but a way of life. My sons have grown tremendously under his guidance, not only in their martial arts abilities but also in their confidence, respect, and perseverance. I highly recommend Sensei Darren to anyone looking for a mentor who instills life lessons far beyond the dojo.“

“Cho’s Legacy has become a second home for our son. Master Acevedo is an incredible leader. He works everyone very hard but with compassion, understanding and an eye toward keeping it fun. He tailors his teaching approach to each student individually so that they can learn optimally. Thank you, Master Acevedo, for such an incredible dojo!“

“I have had the pleasure of traveling at the Judokai of Fairfield for a year now and I have to say I truly wish I joined sooner! Sensei Kevin Costello greets everyone with a smile and a warm welcome. I truly appreciate that heknows how to teach people of all ages and experience as that has allowed my wife and I to both train here and grow in the great sport of Judo. I truly recommend this place to all who wish to either begin their martial arts training or further advance what they have learned prior. Overall, being a part of the Judokai has been one of my best decisions in a long time!“

“Master Lee is the best ... just overall a great instructor. I am very happy with his teachings and guidance with Kayleb!“

“Not sure if this guy is talking about the same school. Children’s classes were pushed back to later time to be more accommodating. A letter was sent home to parents and Coach Pat told the kids about time change few weeks leading up to the date. Uniform could be purchased through school or online. Pat gave the info in what was needed if you wanted to buy online. The Gi has to be purchased through Pat because of school logo just like in any other sport. Cost was comparable to online. Classes started on time as parents are allowed to sit in on class which is niceMy son started about 6 months ago and what a great school. Theirs a class every day of the week for my son at a very reasonable time. Coach/owner Pat is great with the kids setting boundaries being stern but also providing an environment that the kids have fun and learn.My son was very young when he started n knew nothing. Pat still took him in and seeing my sons skill set grow and the confidence Pat instills in him is great to see My son looks forward to going every time.“

“Positive and encouraging environment, our child has memorized the schedule and is always enthusiastic about going. We love that respect and focus are core tenets of this dojang. After trials a several martial arts facilities, we have found our home here!“

“Even though Mooshim is nowhere near where I live, I can tell you that this Taekwondo school is outstanding. I met Master Amy several years ago while training at my local dojang. We became friendly and I know that her biggest passion in life is Taekwondo (OK...maybe a close second to her family! She does love them!). Master Amy has trained under multiple TKD Grandmasters and brings a refreshing perspective to the art: a perfect combination of traditional martial arts, fitness and sports acumen. Master Amy cares deeply about every one of her students and truly gets joy out of watching their growth and success. When covid shut everything down in March, I started training with her and her students online. She shifted gears and created asynchronous content for her students to access - but, more importantly, kept the flow of live classes going using zoom. Online-only classes continued until some of the restrictions started to lift. She is currently running hybrid classes so that she can address the needs of all. There are several students that are strictly online since they live in different parts of the US (even different time zones!). Since we're still at the height of the pandemic, all in-person participants require masks, temperature checks, hand sanitizer and substantial social distancing - so (in-person) class sizes are currently limited. Master Amy has taken all precautions - and then some - to ensure everyone's safety. She's been incredibly creative on how to teach nuanced techniques from a distance and will try anything to help bring her students along. If you're looking for a great way to get fit, have fun and learn an amazing, traditional martial art - check out Mooshim.“

“AMPED is the real deal! Beyond impressed with the training and knowledge my son is receiving. Master John is great with the kids, my son has learned so much already and looks forward to going twice a week. We love watching him too! Can't wait for my younger son to join next year !!“

“I was looking for a taekwondo academy for my child that felt personal and not like a factory churning out classes without building a relationship between teacher and student. Master Chun’s academy provides that personal atmosphere where you know your child won’t be overlooked. It is perfect for a parent who wants their child to learn TKD, not only for its physical benefits, but also to build discipline and develop character. I can’t say enough good things about Master Chun. He is a great combination of a strong leader who has high expectations for his students and a warm teacher who knows how to meet the students where they are. You won’t regret starting you or your child’s TKD journey with him!“

“For anyone who wants to learn capoeira or simply train their body in ways they never thought possible, GLDC is the most welcoming of any capoeira academy I have been to, starting with the group leader.“

“I work a job that requires a lot of movement and lifting and the trainers have helped me learn the best ways to avoid injury. Highly recommend you check them out!“

“It was only for a short time, but it was a place where my son had fun and learned a lot. Thank you.“

“Mr. Parks is the best!!! He is a great teacher and a great person!! Come here for great lessons!“
