Reviews
Friendship, camaraderie, family, and REAL Okinawan Karate. Master Roberto Sensei has a unique teaching method that tailors to each student and their learning style. The Sempai and senior students are patient and expert in their practice. A true family and friendly atmosphere of learning and self-defense. Need to feel confident in defending yourself? DONE. Want to learn the real Okinawan Karate? They have it in spades. Adult classes rock. Classes for kids rock. Want to have a casual conversation about your own journey? This is the place. A great non-threatening learning environment free from show-offs and bullies.
We tried another Tae Kwon Do gym and my son left not wanting to join. We did a trial session at Yong In Martial Arts and he fell in love right away.
Master Michael is so good with kids. Bith of my children laugh, have fun, but also have learned discipline and committment. Master Angie, and Master Paul are also very supportive and engaging.
We signed up immediately after that intro session and have enjoyed it ever since. My kids have a blast and are challenged. Watching them do something I used to do as a child has been so fun.
I would 100% recommend!!!
