My boys have been attending taekwondo classes here for years. It has been a great opportunity for them to learn not only the physical skills, but the instructors have taught them confidence, respect, discipline, and leadership values. My oldest son is now helping teach the younger kids classes and this pushes him to be his best. It’s a great school with wonderful instructors.

Our daughter has been attending this school for years and has learned so much. It was suggested as help for adhd and it has done wonders. Teaches discipline and focus. Also helps to build confidence and people skills. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome of her training at this school. Lots to offer for boys and girls of all ages even adults!!!

Zach is an exceptional teacher. He is very patient with my 2 year old and I’m so happy. All the other students make it such a fun experience for my kid and I’m excited to see the results as time goes on. Highly reccomend!

Lots of top notch students and instructors with multiple competitive state and district titles and top 10 in the world rankings. Great place to bring the whole family. Not just for the kids. Adults welcome too. Can’t say enough about how happy we are to have our kids enrolled here.

Love Experience Martial Arts!! Not only do my kids learn taekwondo skills, but learn self defense, discipline and leadership skills as well. I have teens that are both black belts. They not only expand on the skills they have learned, but are learning leadership skills and help lower rank skills. The discipline skills don’t just stay in class, but extend to school and home. Mr. Hillstead insures that if a student is acting out in school or home then there are consequences in class. Friendships are formed not only in class, but at tournaments as well. We don’t go to every tournament, but when we do we make friends and my kids learn more. Win or lose it’s still a great time!
