The environment feels like a family. Skill level is high, expectations are high, but the Kim’s balance it all with tremendous care and patience. This studio enforces what we teach at home: belief, confidence, respect, and grit. Highly recommend, without reservation.“

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy and welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging, making sure students of all ages and skill levels feel supported in their journey.“

“Freedom Martial Arts Academy is truly an incredible place! They treat every child with dignity and respect while holding them to the highest expectations, helping them grow in discipline, confidence, and skill. Beyond their commitment to martial arts, they also give back to the community by serving dinners once a month at the local community center—a testament to their values and dedication to making a positive impact.

I personally participate in their Friday morning yoga sessions, and it has been life-changing for my flexibility and balance. Monica, the yoga instructor, is absolutely amazing—her guidance and encouragement make every session a joy. The owners of the academy are wonderful people who genuinely care about everyone who walks through their doors.

If you’re looking for a place that fosters growth, community, and wellness, I highly recommend Freedom Martial Arts Academy!“

“Finding the right Taekwondo school has been a long journey for us, and we couldn’t be happier to have discovered Q’s Taekwondo in Puyallup. The level of instruction here is beyond impressive, and having a grandmaster directly involved is something truly special. After spending 20 years living all over the world, including in South Korea, where Taekwondo was born, I’ve seen firsthand how martial arts are taught in many places. Q’s Taekwondo stands out as the best.

The school is about so much more than just learning techniques; it’s about building confidence, discipline, and character. My daughters absolutely love attending, and it’s amazing to watch them grow under the guidance of such skilled and dedicated instructors. I feel incredibly lucky to have this gem in our community—a place where kids learn not just martial arts, but also values that will shape them for life.“

“A very family orientated and kid friendly atmosphere, as well as very knowledgeable. martial artist, highly recommended for anyone looking to start or further their knowledge in martial arts“
