My husband told me that his son Timi trained there until he passed away. He told me that they are good school and honest people. I did not believe until today’s experience. Me my husband and our 5 years old son participated in the tournament. Great place, great tournament, lovely personnels. Highly recommended.

My son has been attending classes here under the instruction of 5th degree black belt instructors Lisa and Stephen. I was first drawn to this school when I read about the Regional and World Championship medalists growing up and competing as Primal students, and wanted to see if it would be a good fit for my child. The instruction here is not just in traditional forms, Korean language, or competitive sparring, but also in right treatment of others, general sportsmanship, and healthy living from the inside-out. My son would not be who he is today were it not for the hard work, encouragement, and authentic care that Lisa and Stephen (and the younger Masters) pour into the students each day.
