“When I think of OMMA, I don’t just think of martial arts. I think of community, loyalty, and family. This is a place that holds you 100% accountable, not to tear you down, but to raise you higher, stronger, and smarter than you walked in.

Sensei Mark doesn’t just teach technique. He teaches discipline, purpose, and unity. At OMMA you don’t grow alone, you rise together. They push you in all the right ways because they genuinely care about who you become both on and off the mat.

The dojo taught me more than martial arts. It taught me resilience, confidence, and the power of showing up for yourself. If you’re looking for a place that will truly pour into you and expect you to step into your greatness, OMMA is home.“

“High Performance Martial Arts in Rockville Centre has been an incredible part of my family’s life since 2020. My daughter and I have both been students here for several years, and our experience has consistently been positive and rewarding.

I train in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program, while my daughter is enrolled in Tae Kwon Do, and we have both grown tremendously through the instruction we’ve received. The classes are well organized, challenging, and taught in a way that prioritizes safety, respect, and steady personal growth.

Grandmaster Suh, Master Marvin, and the entire instructional team are outstanding teachers and role models. They are patient, encouraging, and deeply invested in their students’ development. Beyond teaching technique, they emphasize discipline, confidence, perseverance, and strong character, which truly sets this school apart.

What makes High Performance Martial Arts special is the welcoming, family-oriented environment combined with a high standard of excellence. My daughter has gained confidence, focus, and self-discipline, and I’ve found the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program to be both technically strong and very fulfilling. I also can’t wait to start my youngest in the Tiny Tots program, the same program my older daughter began in.

I am genuinely grateful to be part of this community and would highly recommend High Performance Martial Arts to anyone looking for quality martial arts instruction in a supportive, professional, and inspiring setting for both children and adults.“

“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 !“

“Passing through on a family vacation from UK. Had a class with these guys tonight. If there were more than 5 stars they would have them hands down.
Great bunch of super friendly respectful guys. Emerson made me feel welcome, he was very informative and approachable. I have had a great evening. Hope to get another session in before I fly back to the UK. Many thanks.“

“Highly recommend. Great staff and very patient with the kids. Besides learning Tae Kwon do they also help kids develop skills needed for adulthood.“

“My 5-year-old son has been attending New York Black Belt Center for over a year now, and we’ve had such a great experience. He genuinely looks forward to going, and it’s been amazing to see how much he’s improved over time not just in skill, but also in focus and confidence.

The leadership team is fantastic and truly skilled at working with children. They strike the perfect balance between fun, discipline, and structured learning, which keeps the kids engaged while helping them grow.

The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of instruction, and Master Joe is absolutely wonderful patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what he does.

We’re very happy here and would highly recommend it to other families!“

“My son has been attending Taekwondo here since he was 5 years old and is now a brown belt at 9 years old. This school has truly become family to us. We joined during a very difficult time after his father passed away from cancer, and Master Chung helped guide and support him with so much care and encouragement.

What makes this school so special is that they teach far more than martial arts. They instill discipline, confidence, resilience, respect, and strong character. They genuinely know each child individually, their strengths, weaknesses, and how to build them up to be their very best. The summer camp is awesome! Not only do they train but they have a waterslide, zip lines, and take the kids on trips! It's truly a balance!

The level of training here is exceptional. My son has competed in national tournaments and brought home many trophies, but more importantly, he has gained confidence, lifelong friendships, and incredible role models. He now talks about how he cannot wait to earn his black belt so he can help teach the younger kids. Special shouts to Master Michael, Master Chris, and Sabumnim Richie who all took my son under their wing!

We feel truly blessed to be part of this Taekwondo family.“

“This is truly an outstanding school, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn practical skills and build confidence. Whether you’re enrolling your child or considering joining as an adult, this school offers a comprehensive program that covers everything from self-defense and fighting techniques to discipline, respect, and personal growth.

One of the things that sets this place apart is the quality of instruction. The teacher is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient, encouraging, and passionate about helping each student succeed at their own pace. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and focused on both physical and mental development.

The classes are well-structured, engaging, and designed to build strong fundamentals while also challenging students to improve every step of the way. It’s more than just a martial arts school—it’s a place where students learn life skills, gain confidence, and become stronger in every sense of the word.

If you’re looking for a place that prioritizes safety, quality instruction, and personal development, this school is the perfect choice. I couldn’t be happier with our experience here.“
