Martial Arts Schools near Summit

“We’ve had a wonderful experience at Master Yoo Summit Taekwondo! The instructors are outstanding — patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping every child grow. They not only teach excellent Taekwondo skills but also focus on important life lessons like respect, discipline, and confidence.

The classes are well-structured, fun, and full of positive energy. It’s clear that the instructors care deeply about each student’s progress.

Highly recommend Master Yoo Summit Taekwondo to any parent looking for a program that builds strong minds and strong bodies!“

“ASNJ is a rare and wonderful place. Cannot overstate. My 12 y/o daughter started practicing here in November, she loves it. This isn’t our first crack at martial arts - My daughter can be shy and hesitant to put herself out there- but she has truly thrived here. The vibe/ the instructors/ the energy is just so awesome - she is engaged and challenged and feels comfortable - she has never said “I don’t want to go”. The whole Dojo is just full of caring, intelligent and funny instructors and members who genuinely care for and support one another. Sensei Jay and the rest of the Dojo leadership / instructors we have worked with so far (Frank, Paul, James, Thu, Barry, Tom, and Guzman) are all really great - they are awesome teachers, compassionate towards the students while challenging them to be their best selves - and always, always welcoming. I cannot recommend ASNJ enough to parents and to adults who want to practice. They offer tons of classes, very flexible schedule, interesting and fun options no matter your level/ readiness. If you are considering trying or returning to martial arts for yourself, or for your child/adolescent/teenager, ASNJ should be your first stop. You will not regret it.“

“My son who is almost 5 has been in Satori for almost 2 years. He absolutely loves the instructors and going to karate. They make learning fun for the kids. He has learned to be more focused. As a parent, I appreciate the chats the instructors have with the kids during class to help them strengthen their minds and bodies by doing the right thing and eating healthy. I would highly recommend parents putting their kids in Satori.“

“My daughter has been a proud member of White Tiger Dojo for over seven years, and it remains one of her favorite places to be. As parents, we are incredibly grateful for the life lessons, confidence, and character building that Sensei Darren instills in his students. We’re so thankful she has found a place that, in her words, “feels like family.” It gives me great peace of mind knowing she has a supportive environment to learn, grow, and be mentored by someone who truly cares about his students’ development and well-being. Thank you, White Tiger Dojo, for being such a meaningful part of our daughter’s growth.“

“My child loves it here. The owner and staff pay personal attention to every child and adult that walks through the door. My child started classes at 5 and has been there for over 1 year. The instruction focuses on TKD techniques and skills but also on developing character, self esteem and attention span. My child enjoys going so much. He has NEVER said he doesn’t want to go to class and runs in every week excited to see everyone. They have extra events at the studio and my son gets excited and always asks to attend. I have seen many benefits of these classes in my son. He has increased confidence, coordination, strength, attention span, motivation for working towards goals, and respect for elders. Thank you Cho’s Legacy!“

“As both a former student and now the parent of a student, I can confidently say that Master Lee is one of the most professional and impactful individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing. His patience, kindness, and deep knowledge of Tae Kwon Do deserve the highest recognition. He is continually striving to expand his understanding of the martial arts and refine the ways he educates his students. Beyond technique, he is dedicated to teaching them how to become respectful, confident, and upstanding human beings.
I am truly grateful for Master Lee and all that he brings to H.S. Lee Karate School—especially the opportunity to share these meaningful experiences with my child.“
