Martial Arts Schools near Mountlake Terrace

“Mr. Scott has been instructing my two kids for almost a year and a half. He is easily one of the best youth instructors I have encountered across ANY sport. The attention and care that he gives to his students is outstanding. Very few people understand how much someone can learn through play, and Mr. Scott is one of those people. My kids have learned so much and their personal growth over their time enrolled at Seattle White Tiger Kung Fu has been quite rewarding to watch.“

“My son felt very welcomed starting martial arts. The instructor and assistants are attentive and work directly with students to ensure proper form. The class structure offered consistency and different skills would be taught within the class depending on skill levels of students. I really appreciated the incorporation of life skills within each session and as outside of class work. Highly recommend!“

“My son (Furkan)absolutely loves coming here. The instructors are so professional and kind — they’ve helped him become more confident, focused, and disciplined. It’s been such a positive influence in his life!”“

“I attended TKD Way back in 2014 for a year after 10 years at a different studio in a different state, and the only reason I left was because my family relocated again (military brat). Although I was there for a short time, the impact Master Auhn had was huge. His black belt classes were challenging and fun, and his energy made me want to learn as much as I could from him. I'm glad to see business is doing well.“

“Dropped in to morning class. No egos. Welcoming. Will definitely go back. Thanks for the great reception Nick and team!“

“Master Kim has been a fantastic mentor and influence for our son. He is both serious and caring for our son’s whole growth physically, mentally and emotionally. While it has only been about 2 months our son is excited to attend class and is beginning to bring his class lessons home and into his everyday life. We are excited to see how are son will grow in Master Kim’s Little Dragon program.“

“Quality coaches and quality facilities. Flexible class times for mma, striking and grappling. Great spot for experienced fighters and newcomers“

“Master Kim is awesome! He is super patient with my kid, and my kid has learnt to listen, and has become more active.“

“Active has given us the opportunity to strengthen our communication skills and encourage confidence in advocating for ourselves. I cannot recommend this program enough.“

“To any aspiring student's parents, I can assure you that you will not find a more dedicated team for shaping your children’s future. I have first-hand experience watching my three kids become confident and ready for challenges under the able guidance of Master Yoo. The caring vibes provided by Mrs. Yoo also make any parent feel safe leaving their kids in their care.
To any parent doubtful about joining the class with your kids, I would push you to join now. Do not end up regretting it every day like my wife who did not join. Obtaining a black belt side-by-side with your kids is a unique feeling. The struggles and time management are completely worth it, and the experience puts you into a great routine.
Of course, you should be ready to take some fun filled mocking from Master Yoo in the right spirit. I have always found those to be a trigger to practice extra at home before hitting the class. Overall, I have never regretted this decision. It has been a perfect bonding time with my kids that we will cherish for years to come. Thanks for the memories and for keeping such high standards!“

“I'm a fan of this amazing program. I've been going here for a few months and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The instructors are very motivated and easy to talk to. The owner is welcoming and treats everyone like family.“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Shin's Taekwondo academy. Being a blackbelt school really makes a difference in terms of taking the skill and art seriously. The instructors strike a great balance between discipline and encouragement, creating an environment where students build confidence, focus, and respect alongside their technical skills. It’s been great to see such growth — both on and off the mat. Highly recommend for families looking for a supportive and well-run program.“

“We’ve been part of the Seattle Taekwondo family for over three years now, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our children. Both of my boys, Baraa and Anas, have grown tremendously—not just in their Taekwondo skills, but in their confidence, discipline, and focus.
The instructors here are incredibly dedicated, patient, and inspiring. They know how to motivate the children while maintaining respect and structure in every class. It’s clear they genuinely care about each student’s progress, both on and off the mat.
Over the years, I’ve watched Baraa and Anas become more confident in themselves, physically stronger, and mentally more resilient. They look forward to every class, and they take pride in what they’ve learned. The atmosphere is always positive, safe, and welcoming—like an extended family.
Seattle Taekwondo isn’t just about martial arts—it’s about building character and empowering kids for life. We are beyond grateful for the amazing experience and highly recommend it to any family looking for a place that truly supports children’s growth.“

“I’ve been going here for almost 3 years and it’s great place! Everyone is very kind and very knowledgeable. It’s a great community! The best in the area for sure! Even when I moved to Seattle for a while I still made the commute over and it was always worth it :)“

“Master Si Won is a phenomenal instructor. The class is full of positivity, respect and perseverance.“

“In the 9 months my 10 year old son has been going to Z-Ultimate crown hill I’ve seen a change for the better in him. A greater level of self confidence and self discipline.

The senseis are all incredible and the owner, Master Jennifer is a delight. The team cares deeply for the growth of their students and sees each child as the individual they are.

I highly recommend Z-Ultimate crown hill if you’re looking for an activity for your child that will leave them a better person. I can’t wait to start my younger daughter once she is old enough.“

“I love this place! It is clean, pleasant and suitable so that we can observe our children from a small box.
David started classes 2 weeks ago and is very happy with everything he has learned. It is worth mentioning that even without speaking English well and his physical limitations, they have been patient and have taught him much more than he expected; Something important that I would like to mention is that my son is used to discipline and loves what he does; We have weight loss goals for him and this is definitely working for him, I am sure he is in good hands.“

“Thank you to Michelle for hosting the self-defense class for women!! It’s important to mention one class is free so she makes her knowledge really accessible, just show up and be ready to kick ass. Super kind knowledgeable and respectful. Highly recommend taking their courses. Let’s support this place and the empowerment they do!“

“My daughter has found confidence and joy being a part of the Alpha Martial Arts family!“

“My son has been training under Master Han for years and he is absolutely the best instructor around. He and Mrs. Han are great with the kids, meeting them at their skill level and helping them develop and grow over the long haul. My son loves it so much that he has chosen to spend his entire summers in their Taekwondo Summer Camp. We’re so glad to have found them, and can’t imagine being part of another dojang.“

“Well run, clean and friendly dojo. If interested I suggest finding out what day and time the class you are interested in held and see if you can visit. Well geared for young children.“
