“Our son has been attending classes for a year now and our daughter is on month 3 of classes. Our kids have fallen in love with martial arts and practice at home every day! Mr. Chandler and the other instructors have been amazing! Our kids really look up to Mr. Chandler and Ms. Dubovik and our 1 year old is always on the lookout for Ms. Bonnett. Our oldest has develop leadership skills and confidence while our 3 yr old has a safe structured environment to display her confidence and strong personality.“

“We have had an amazing experience at NSMA Taekwondo! The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about each student’s growth, both in martial arts and in character. They create a positive, encouraging environment where kids build confidence, discipline, respect, and perseverance while having fun.

The staff is always welcoming and professional, and it’s clear they are passionate about helping every student succeed. We’ve seen tremendous growth in confidence and skill, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. I highly recommend NSMA Taekwondo to any family looking for an outstanding martial arts program!“

“My son has went to a couple martial arts and I have never seen a place like victory! Very nice team and focus on everyone in the room making sure they are learning and doing it right! Highly recommend!“

“My son started with Pinnacle last summer with their summer camp and he loved it so much we signed him up for weekly lessons. The coaches are great; they are kind, supportive, and push the students to do their best. It’s a nice little community.“

“Victory Martial Arts is truly an outstanding organization. From the moment we walked in, I knew this was the right place for my son. The Master is incredibly involved—not just during class, but outside of the gym as well. The level of care and commitment to each student’s growth is something you don’t see every day.

They focus on more than just martial arts techniques; they teach discipline, respect, and perseverance—values that carry over into every area of life. After seeing the positive changes in my son within just three months, I didn’t hesitate to sign up the entire family. It’s more than a gym—it’s a community, and we’re so grateful to be a part of it.“

“Awesome place for kids of all ages. 3-99 years old will learn. Mr. Mastin is one of kind“

“This is such a family friendly environment! My kids have been attending classes for 2 years now and have grown so much, in both strength and character. The after school program is so helpful to working parents. I know my children are loved and cared for at Saldivar. The family along with all their instructors and staff are kind, intentional, and skilled. I love that Saldivar Martial Arts is so rooted in their faith. They don't push it on you, but rather invite you in through their actions. They live God's Word every day, in every encounter.
Plus the fun events they host are always a good time!“

“I have been training here at Bushido for about 11 years now. This dojo has been my second family my whole life. I have also been an instructor there for about 5 years now and I couldn’t be happier, I love seeing the smiles on the kids faces every time an instructor walks into the dojo. I love the feeling knowing I could have just made a kids days better. Sensei Joshua Cavazos and senpai Yvette cavazos has always been there for everyone in that dojo, to help them if they have an issue with some technique or if they just need someone to talk to. I am so happy to be apart of this growing program and I’m greatful to have a place that will make my smile grow and my day to become brighter.“

“CDK Dance has great classes for all ages from very young to any age. I'm learning ballet as an adult and love it!“

“Best thing I've ever done for my son. He not only learned karate, he's a blackbelt, but he also learned Christian values, confidence, and how to be a loving, strong man. Highly recommend Sensei James and his family's dojo!“

“If you want your kids to learn discipline and martial arts. This is the NO.1 choice. They have 5 classes a week, that include sparring, forms, and weapons such as nunchucks. This is a must stop by martial art school for everyone.“

“Kids love this place. More strict then other gyms they tried out. Some kids need a bit more discipline but they are kids.“

“Our son has changed so much. We are so proud of him and his accomplishment. Master O'Hara has been phenomenal and Mr. Martindale is fantastic. We are amazed by the staff and not only the staff but our son and everythingg he has learned in a year. He learned leadership. He learned confidence. He learned how to be his own person. We are so grateful for you all! Thank you.“

“Professional, clear, demanding, yet encouraging. Be happy the owners don't excel at every form of martial arts or their trophy cabinet would be an entire room and every studio would fear them. Beautiful community with concise expectations. We wouldn't want any other studio to train with. #LongLiveKoreaNorthAmericaTaekwondo“

“Within just a few weeks of my son transferring from a different studio to this one, we noticed a significant improvement in his forms and how sharp he looked doing them. We like that they don’t nickel and dime you every time there is a belt test. Testing and belts are included in the tuition. I felt that the previous studio felt obligated to promote kids that weren’t really ready to be promoted because they had paid extra to test.“

“I went here as a kid seven years ago and loved it. The instructor was super awesome and i learned so much from him. I have carried that momentum for years and it truly did change my life. I can still do lots of the moves that I learned. This place was a huge boost of confidence and I am glad to see that the same instructor is still there after all this time. You could find this somewhere on Facebook, but I did a 180 degree angle with my legs while doing a sidekick. One doesn’t go here and just learn some fancy foot flicks, it’s a place to learn discipline and gain confidence.“

“Legendary coach and a great group of kids. They keep it fun while teaching proper technique. Perfect place for a child to build confidence, discipline, friends, fitness, and safety.“

“Excellent instruction, family oriented with structured learning and civic training (Respect) for your fellow man.“
