“We’ve had such a positive experience at Kwon’s Wellness. Every staff member is so kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the kids’ growth — both physically and emotionally. Our twins have become noticeably stronger, more confident, and always look forward to going. The learning environment is not only structured but also filled with encouragement and care. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for our family!“

“My daughter has been going here for about 5 months, I highly recommend enrolling your kids here. The environment and culture that Popkin and Brogna Jiujitsu set is amazing.“

“As a parent, I truly can’t say enough positive things about this Taekwondo school and the impact it has had on my daughter’s life. She began training here at just 4 years old, and over the years I’ve watched her grow into a confident, disciplined, and resilient young person. Now at 12 years old remains fully committed to Taekwondo, practicing every day and continuing to challenge herself.

Taekwondo has taught her far more than physical techniques. She has learned discipline, patience, respect for others, and self control skills that guide her both inside and outside the dojang. Through consistent training, she has developed strong work ethic, accountability, and the ability to set goals and see them through, even when things get difficult. Taekwondo has also helped her build emotional strength, teaching her how to manage stress, overcome setbacks, and believe in herself.

One of the most valuable lessons has been confidence. Watching her stand taller, speak more assuredly, and trust her abilities has been incredible as a parent.

In today’s fast paced world dominated by social media and screen time, Taekwondo has provided a healthy balance and a strong foundation for developing a focused, healthy mind. It has given her structure, purpose, and a positive environment surrounded by mentors and peers who encourage personal growth.

I strongly encourage every parent to get their children involved in martial arts. The benefits reach far beyond physical fitness . It builds character, confidence, and life skills that will stay with them forever. This school has played an essential role in my daughter’s development, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive influence it continues to have on her life.“

“A second home to me. It has changed my life for the better. Could not recommend more!“

“My adult niece has been studying at Fierce Dragon for over a decade and I love seeing how much she loves it. It has been amazing to see her grow in confidence and fitness as she has become a black belt. She speaks of the people of Fierce Dragon as her family and her inspiration. This is clearly a great school for adults as well as for teens and children!“

“My son is in the spectrum, has language expressive issues and it can be a bit hard to teach and redirect him, the masters are very patient and kind to him. He loves it because he is always excited to go.“

“Absolutely love this gym! Sensei is incredibly knowledgeable and pushes you to be your best! The training environment is top-notch, and everyone here genuinely cares about helping you improve. Aside from learning martial arts, it's been awesome for weight loss and weight management, I must say, not boring at all and I actually can't wait to get here every day after work. Highly recommend, you won't regret it... life changing place!“

“Both my kids started at NGK at the age of 5. We were amazed of the devotion and dedication that both Kyoshi and Kristal display. Not only are you learning the proper techniques of self defense, but Kyoshi gives you so much more. He instills morals, values and life lessons that my kids will remember for the rest of their lives. All you need is to sit in for one trial class and you will be hooked! Believe me, you will not be disappointed!! Everyone needs a little of Kyoshi in their lives! We are truly blessed to have been a part of the NGK family!“

Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality instructor training!“

“Our daughter started attending this summer, and we couldn’t be happier with her progress. The instructors are great, and the center as a whole is warm, professional, and well run. It’s clear they truly care about what they do, and that passion shows in how they work with the kids. We highly recommend this program, especially for families just starting out like we did. For reference, our daughter is 4 years old and began in the Cubs class.“

“Champions Martial Arts Franklin Square has been helping students learn more than self-defense. Students develop not only their tae kwon do skills, but their strength, their focus, their confidence, their self-discipline, etc. Instructor Austin cares
about the students and encourages them to be and to do their best. He has a genuine passion for teaching and is committed to his students’ success. Instructor Austin’s expertise and dynamic style of teaching lends itself to his providing quality instruction in an enjoyable environment. Students learn that consistency and perseverance get them through difficult challenges. If you/ your child are interested in trying tae kwon do, don’t wait, call to start a trial. Begin the journey to your black belt.“

From setting up the tables, to cleaning the huge mess afterwards and all of the amazing games and karate in between the birthday party was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough. The kids had a blast and my son had the best birthday ever.“

“My son and daughter love it! We joined for them to have a physical activity, but they have learned so much more. It’s amazing for building character and confidence!“

“Having both my boys in this martial arts program was the best choice. It is family friendly, the Masters and Instructors really care about the students. They encourage them to excel in all the events they make available to the students. Everyone are always friendly and always have a smile on their face when the students walk in. I most definitely recommend High Performance Martial arts.“

“I was welcomed in for a drop-in class as a traveling student and had a fantastic experience. The instruction was detailed and well delivered. The professors provided personal attention with excellent input to refine and correct the techniques being practiced. The other students were respectful, humble, kind, and welcoming. I look forward to returning next time I am in the area.

Thank you to the professors who led classes and permitted me to join!“
