We have found significant improvements in his ability to transition, impulse control & emotional regulation. He is becoming stronger and smarter after each session.

Both are extremely approachable and never make you feel uncomfortable for asking questions.
The atmosphere here is unmatched — the vibes are great, the music keeps the energy up, and the community is full of professors, coaches, and training partners who quickly become lifelong friends. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience, I can’t recommend this school enough.“

“My son has been attending the Dragon Gate Martial Arts class for over two years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Before we found this place, we had tried several different activities—nothing really clicked. But here, everything changed. The instructors are phenomenal. The lessons are not only fun and engaging, but they’re incredibly effective at developing attention, reaction skills, and both mental and physical strength. It’s been amazing to watch my child grow more focused, confident, and disciplined through the training. This has truly been the one place that worked for him, and we’re so grateful for the positive impact it’s had on his development. Highly recommend it to any parent looking for a meaningful and structured activity for their child!“

“A few years ago my Daughter, at the time 7 years old was a yellow belt, my Mother and I took her and my niece to the game farm. They were releasing a batch of goats into the pen to be fed from the bottles they sell. Now you have to picture this, 30 baby goats running towards 20 or so children who are also running towards the goats. (Injuries waiting to happen) Mother's are screaming at their children to show down, and being totally ignored. I yelled Front Position (which is a command that a Sensei or Instructor will say and the meaning is... STOP whatever it is that you are doing and face forward) Well my daughter stopped so fast that there was actually a cloud of dirt at her heals. In astonishment the mother next to me said "what the heck was that" to which my response was "Cutting Edge Kempo Karate" and worth every penny (with the biggest smile on my face) Sensei Nick taught my daughter a lot, not only about karate, defense but most of all respect.“

“Excellent way to keep your kids active, learn patience and humility. My boys both love it here!“

“Best place to go if you want to learn Muay Thai as a hobby. If you want to do MT to get into shape just be prepared for a very difficult but rewarding workout. Can't speak to their efficacy in preparing you to compete as that is not why I signed up. Coach Celo is the man.“

“My son Arthur loves this place. The sensei's are great. They appropriately teach the kids and demonstrate womderful values. They throw awesome events, work with you and are kind to the children. This place is like an extension of our family. Visit and you wont be disappointed.“

We highly recommend High Kick Taekwondo!!!“
