She is not only an exceptional master, but also an inspiring and patient teacher who truly cares about her students. We’ve seen incredible growth in our son’s confidence, discipline, and respect — not just in his Taekwondo skills, but in his character overall.

I very particular style of teaching with a step by step approach while constantly being on the cutting edge of the latest and newest techniques. Yes its stuffy its a basement.

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!“

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.“

From our personal past experience with different schools, my son was not at all interested in the martial arts, but from day 1 here- he has become quickly obsessed. I am so thankful to have found it, its truly a little Brooklyn gem.“

“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.“

“Incredible! Everyone here, from the instructors, to the owners are humble and want to help you out. I knew I wanted to be active but was not wanting to go to a traditional gym. Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

“I trained back in March of this year in the Brooklyn HQ dojo and I just went back to train again September, last week..I have personally seen the results of the entire NY team doing Professor David's 90 day challenge. I was astonished by their results. I also was able to have my first private lesson with the Professor, which I highly recommend. The information he gave me was priceless. It was great seeing the Shihan's, amazing leadership, and the entire team again. I look forward to my next visit always. Osu!“

“The best, most authentic, skilled and sacred to art dojo you can go to. Highly recommend.“

“Best taekwondo place ever in astoria master alex and master charles and Master James are very nice“

“My wife and I loved training at Square Circle. All the coaches are great and super knowledgable, but we particularly benefitted from Kru Rob's expertise. One thing that set Square Circle apart for us, though, was the community. There was a mix of levels, from folks currently competing to newer athletes, but everyone was super welcoming and eager to help / learn from one another. I definitely felt like it was a safe, fun place to spar, and bonus points for the beautiful space overlooking the Financial District. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to train Muay Thai in the city!“

“Theeeeee best taekwondo center there is ! My son has been training there since 5 years old….. With the love, support, discipline, and teachings from Master Sasha, he is now a 2nd Dan (black belt ) ! The Masters at United TKD are highly skilled and want only the best for every student that steps onto the mat! I could not recommend this place enough ! More than just a martial arts training facility, the students walk away with many useful skills they will carry through life!“

“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.“

“Small school with incredible people and generations of students. Generational students means this school is doing it right. Highly recommend checking them out for your martial arts and self-defense interests!“
