“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing place! I’m so glad my daughter started here and has been doing amazing. Cannot be happier with the best staff any place can ask for!“

“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!“

“I recently completed an instructor course at AKM School, and it was an exceptional experience. The instructors were knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about teaching. The curriculum was comprehensive, well-structured, and provided practical hands-on training. I feel confident and well-prepared to apply the skills I learned in my career. 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.“

“Hello everyone !
I am so happy to be part of the warrior scholar family! Master Dan and Master Joanne are pillars in our community here and their generosity of their time and craft is beyond appreciated. My girls love coming here and learning this art and how to defend themself yet see their friends and peers and have fun.
I highly recommend their studio and being part of it!“

“PMA is amazing school with great coaches, and staff is amazing friendly, helpful, supportive and caring. We are very happy to be part of this wonderful community.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My wife and I have been clients for over 3 years now. What we love about Jeff, our trainer at Maceus Studios, is his kind, courteous, and patient personality. You meet first Jeff, the kind and decent human being before you meet Jeff, the sculpted trainer. He motivates you with a courteous firmness to strive towards your fitness goal. He keeps himself informed in health and fitness so he can impart the most tailored advice specific for you. Moreover, his fees are very reasonable. He offers two for one packages for couples and training buddies. This not only helps offset the cost, but it provides motivation for you to be more consistent when you have a training partner to go to the gym with you.

The other trainers at the gym reflect Jeff's courtesy and decency even if they have their own personality and training style. But in sum, we have no regrets about joining Maceus Studios. Thanks to Jeff and Maceus Studios, we have become more consistently health and fitness conscious.“

“Friendly and helpful staff that is great with the children. I like the fact that the children get an opportunity to engage in real physical combat in a safe and controlled environment.“

“My two boys, now ages 10 and 5, have been attending Emerson Souza BJJ for a little over a year and they LOVE it! Emerson is a world champion and an amazing instructor.Emerson is patient, but commanding. He is fun, but thoroughly trains these kids to do and master complex moves. He is genuinely concerned about how these kids approach life in general. He instills patience, discipline, hard work and respect.Emerson brings these ideals and fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu into their everyday lives. From building relationships, working hard in school, respecting rules set by your parents and your teachers, helping out at home to diffusing potential conflicts. He has had a real impact on my boys, who look forward to seeing their coaches and friends, every time they go to class. And not only him, but all of his instructors have the same amazing qualities. It really is like a family.“

“Love love love this school! The teacher Master Jimmy, is beyond amazing. He creates a fun and safe environment for the students to learn. My son loves coming to class and he feels so much encouragement from his peers and especially his teacher. Def recommend !“

“My son starts his TKD for 8 months already. I felt so touched when he stepped on the mat for the very first time. Master Joe was very patient which made him not scared of keep going. I love the place and the staffs there.“

“We are thrilled to have found Master Chung’s Taekwondo studio for our 3.5-year-old! The one-month free trial was a perfect way to see if she’d enjoy it, and she loved it so much we signed up after two weeks. In just a short time, we’ve noticed improvements in her confidence, attitude, and ability to follow directions. She looks forward to every class and asks when we’re going back!

The instructors are patient and skilled, offering extra guidance when needed. Master Chung’s reward system is also motivating—like ice pops for completing a full class. After learning this, our daughter never left early again and now proudly earns her treats! The point system for achievements and inclusive holiday events are great bonuses, too.

The flexible scheduling options make it easy to attend regularly. We’re so happy to be part of this wonderful community and highly recommend it for any family looking for a positive, welcoming environment for their child.“

“Excellent facility. It's not just punching and kicking. You are learning proper technique so you can maximize speed and power. The pace is phenomenal, gets the heart rate up and you will definitely sweat if you put in the work. I also like that they do strength training and focus on stretching during the cool down. Great program.Update: Still attending classes regularly, and I am not in the intermediate classes. Focus is on mitt work, Thai pads, and heavy bag. Learning slipping, bobbing, footwork and of course good technique. I had a chance to attend the challenge of champions in December and won 1st place in kickboxing. The sparring sessions before the tournament were invaluable. Great staff, great workout, and yes you are really learning to fight (if that's what you want).“

“Amazing school that covers basic boxing, kickboxing, and even grappling. Welcoming community with a friendly and safe environment that enforces discipline and self control. Highly recommended for growth in within yourself as a kid/or adult.“

“I used to be a student here, it taught me a lot of discipline and way I could protect myself and protect others“

“Sunrise karate school is one of the best my daughter Chandine is attending it and she is doing very well in it even though it is a tough task.I must said with the good coaching with her Sensei she is getting better and stronger.“
