Martial Arts Schools near Bethany

“We genuinely love this studio, we've checked out different studios before starting classes here in 2020. Since my son started, my husband has also joined and they take classes almost every day of the week.Our son has learned strength and self discipline. He's also learned to push himself to do his best, to be honest with himself, and how to set goals. He's additionally learned how to be a leader not only through his words but by example. It's not only the demand for greatness in the studio, but in all aspects of his life there is a particular standard that's expected.I'm so happy and grateful we found this studio.“

“I don't know a lick about Taekwondo, outside of its Korean roots, but I know my son absolutely loves his time here.

The young-adult black belts seem extremely empowered to lead and teach, which is refreshing and inspiring.

The older generation of the Poos family seems as passionate as ever, and rightly so given their pedigree. There's also a kindness and honesty here--a clear sense of high moral character--that can't help but rub off on the students.

All told, it's a bit of a diamond-clad miracle to have this caliber of class, leadership and experience (Olympic coach?!?!) right here in Edmond, OK, of all places.

Highly recommend!“

“We have been bringing our son here for over 3 yrs since he was 4 1/2. We have seen him learn respect, listening skills, coordination, and most of all he has high self esteem & confidence. Do we expect our son to go to competitions and win 1st place at all the competitions? No… but if that is what you want for your kid…THIS IS THE PLACE TO SEND THEM TO WIN TOURNAMENTS!!!! Beware, this is not a “Daycare” Martial Arts Academy. We send our son here for life skills and the results have shown!!! THANK YOU TO PROFESSOR RAIDER AND ALL THE COACHES HERE AT LEGACY!!!“

“I have been going to this martial arts studio for almost three years now, and it has changed me so much. I wouldn't have ever thought that the people here could be so amazing. I have learned so much about leadership growing as a Christian, pushing yourself and doing hard things.

I have made great, life-long friends and learned lessons that I needed to learn here. I don't know where I would be today if I hadn't made the decision to step out of my comfort zone and try to something new.

I can honestly say with 100% certainly that the decision to go to this great studio has been the single most beneficial, impactful, and life-changing decision I have made so far in my short 17 years.“

“The overall gym is amazing, great teachers and facility. Real quality experience. I would very much recommend many people to try Solid MmA“

“My daughter has been a part of the program for quite some time. The coaches are experienced. The coaches care about your child. The coaches show they care about your child through how they treat your child. No yelling, or encouraging violence. But a respectful and careful choreography of the lessons taught. They incorporate life lessons for the kids too. My daughter has gained friends from the program, that share similar values. Great adult programs too!“

“Our son started practicing last year in August, he come practice 3 x week. Master Gavin really good teaching these young kids Taekwondo. We love this place.“

“One of the many ways God has blessed me is by leading me to Jack Hwang's Martial Arts. I was doing really well last year until about August. Due to working more and becoming more involved with the church, I became stretched very thin. I had to make a decision, and my livelihood and my faith had to come before my newfound passion. I took a hiatus from Taekwondo until the beginning of the new year. It was difficult coming back and seeing that all of my peers had advanced. You build comradery in Taekwondo, just like any sport, so it’s difficult when you feel left behind. Despite that, I was determined to get myself ready for the next test on Jan 29th. Working with my instructors, I busted my tail to learn the next forms (and re-learn the ones I had forgot), as well as most of my one steps. By the time the week of the test came around, I was ready. Unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID that week and I had to quarantine. I missed the test and all that hard work seemed for nothing. I would have to wait another three months to test again. I was feeling pretty discouraged. It became pretty easy to decide to skip Taekwondo. I have become more busy than I was when I took a hiatus last year, as I’ve started two classes through Haskins School of Ministry, and I’ve started preaching. I went the week after COVID, but I skipped the week following. When I did come back, Randy (beginner belt instructor - far right) said, “Kyle, where ya been, man?” I told him how I ended up just sleeping on the previous Monday when I was supposed to be there. He said, “I was gonna tell you that I talked to Sonny (intermediate belt instructor - far left), and we decided we’re going to do a rank test just for you. It’s not fair that you had to miss it because of COVID.” I was so blown away by that and told him how much I appreciated it. He and Sonny, again, worked hard to help get me ready for my test. Today was the day. I’m proud to say that I did really well and I have finally earned my green belt. Mark is the one to my immediate right. He’s the black belt I had to spar with as part of my test. He has been a great encourager for me and I appreciate him, as well. I’m humbled to say that I could not have done it without him, Randy and Sonny, and all of Jack Hwang’s behind me. It’s an honor and a blessing to be a part of this school. I love my dojang. I’ll recommend everyone I can to take a free trial lesson. You won’t regret it. (Wow, Heaven forbid I ever win a Grammy or an Oscar, huh?)“

“The Google advert showed it was closed as I traveled from Enid. I arrived, waited 1 1/2 hours until the site said open at 1730. I checked the door and for a person, but nothing. I actually stumbled onto the calendar which showed nothing until 1900. I drove home to Lawton. Missed y'all. ???“

“Was able to see this unbelievable facility last month and to say it is top notch is an understatement. One of the top facilities I have ever seen. Instruction is World Class. You'd be hard pressed to find another like it in the US. If you want to get good at Jiu-Jitsu or become a better version of yourself, this is the place to be.“
