Can't put into words how incredible this program has been for our son. It has improved his focus, patience and confidence. Their team has been very welcoming and inclusive. Would recommend to anyone.
This is by FAR the best place for anyone looking to learn martial arts. My son started when he was 3 years old (they have since changed the minimum age requirement) and now is getting ready to test for his black belt at almost 11 years old. He went from white to black in the little lions program and then white to (soon) black in the junior program. I have nothing but amazing things to say. The instructors really care about the kids. They don't just know their names, they know their interests, personalities, siblings names, friends. They take the time to really knew each student. They do not push kids through the belt levels either. They make sure each child is really ready to move up before they invite them to promotion testing. My son has ADHD and really struggled especially when he was little. My husband and I agree that a major reason our son is now disciplined, respectful, and can focus better is because of Master Yang's. I even tried Krav Maga and made some great friendships during my brief time in class. Pregnancy and knee surgery kept me from going back but my son continues in their taekwondo program. This studio is more than just a place to learn martial arts, it's a place that teaches a lifestyle, character development and perseverance. Master Yang's quickly became like a home to us and we have loved every minute of our experience. I am beyond thrilled that my son wants to continue beyond his black belt at Master Yang's because I could not bear the thought of leaving our 2nd home. I strongly encourage anyone considering martial arts for themselves or their child to give Master Yang's a call. You will not be disappointed.
We had our son’s 7th birthday party at Master Yang’s and it was absolutely fantastic! Our son currently participates in classes here and is an advanced blue belt, so it was extra special for him to celebrate at a place he already loves and feels comfortable in. Mrs. G, Chloe, and Veronica did an amazing job from start to finish. The party was so well organized it truly took the stress off of us as parents. The time management was perfect, keeping the kids engaged and moving seamlessly between the bounce house, playground, and all the fun activities on the mat. Mrs. G was especially wonderful with all the communication and planning leading up to the party, making the whole process smooth and easy. All the kids had a great time and were full of smiles. I would highly recommend having a birthday party at Master Yang’s. Thank you to the whole team for making our son’s special day so memorable!
