“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.“

“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!

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.“
