Student Reviews

Kimberly Ann

“My son started as a Tiger and then began Tae Kwon Do and is now also in the NinjaTrix program. He loves it! The Academy of Martial Arts is wonderful. The Deavers, Master Harp, Mr. Inman, and others who help are caring and dedicated teachers. They are welcoming and we appreciate the emphasis on character skills and leadership they promote. Glad we found them!”

Shelly Sullivan

“The Academy isn’t just a place to learn martial arts, it’s a family that welcomes everyone no matter what. One of the things that has impressed me the most is the teaching of the Tenants of Tae Kwon Do (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit) to the kids. I’ve been a part of the family for 3 ½ years now. It’s amazing to see the growth and change of the kids who come in.”

Chris Amy Labby

“Master Deaver is definitely focused on the training and teaching of the arts. Excellent demeanor and a teaching heart. Thank you so much for helping us progress to the next step!!”

Holly Jiménez

“My son has been attending for 4 years, and we are so happy with how much he has learned and progressed. The instructors are patient and great with the kids. It’s very affordable, especially when they can attend class up to 5 times per week. We love how respect is emphasized both in and outside the classroom.”
