Martial Arts Schools near Willoughby

“I have been here for a while and the instructors and junior instructors make me smile and I get to have a fun time“

“Over 20 years ago I first set foot in the Kang Do Won. I sat on the visitors bench watching Grand Master Lewis, Master Lewis, and Master Hotchkiss guide my nephew, niece, and many other students in learning martial arts.
I was impressed with their way of teaching. Sometimes very tough, but more often a gentle hand and kind words to bring students along.
A few months later, I bowed into class for my first time. While often difficult, I have no regrets starting this journey. I have learned more than I ever imagined. Training in the art of Kang Do has improved every aspect of my life. Physical, mental, relationships, work situations... All have grown and improved.
I've witnessed many other students grow beyond what they believed they could be.
Master Hotchkiss has carried on the beliefs and ways of Grand Master Lewis and his teachers.
Over twenty years later and I learn something every time I step on the training floor.
My journey will never end. I highly recommend the Kang Do Won to others.“

“Our son has been attending for 6 months and he's a blue belt, he's moving what he's learning and interacting with all the instructors.“

“Top of the line gym ran by an experienced UFC fighter. I cannot express my gratitude enough for my time working with Jason Dent. I travel often and always train at local gyms to try and take away techniques from different coaches. I’m blessed to have a 7 time world champ that I train with in FL. But having a one on one session with Jason, he truly taught me more than any other coach in one session. He kept on top of my form and techniques that I needed to change and tighten up. Explained everything so well and made sure it clicked. Not only that, but he is a very humble and good family man. He has the gym running like a well oiled machine, and it’s super clean. There are separate BJJ, Boxing / Mauy Thai, and MMA rooms, plus a weight room and a game room. A full size ring and a cage. What an opportunity for those living in lake county to become a part of this team and learn from a true UFC fighter. I look forward to my next trip up!“

“My son loves going to Karate here! The sensei’s are all great at instructing lessons.“

“We love this place! My son has been a lil dragon for nearly 6 months and thanks to the staff and team I have seen huge changes in his confidence. I couldn’t recommend this place enough they do everything they can for your child to succeed and feel like a part of a team. The dojo is clean, the staff is so friendly and my son looks forward to class weekly.“

“Wonderful program, builds character and fortitude, I appreciate the time, energy and attention the instructors invest in each student. My grandson loves it!!!!“
