I just started Taekwondo here last week, thanks to two awesome people inviting me to their Dojo. At first I was very nervous but once I started, I forgot all about it. The whole atmosphere is very positive and is already helping me build better habits. I love the values and the teachings during class, very helpful. ✨️😊

I started when I was 5 years old and I had an amazing experience here! The teachers are very kind and the owner is super nice. She is hard working has one of the best mindsets. The front desk manager is also very supportive and kind. Their competition team has made me expand more in taekwondo and I’ve had many achievements and great times from that. This is one of my favorite places it to go and taekwondo is the best in my opinion

You will not regret joining this martial arts school. My daughter initially gained knowledge of iYa Taekwondo through a performance at Matsuyama Elementary. When she came home with a flier to the school, I wasn't sure she would be so committed in the long run. We signed up for a one time class just to get a feel for the program and have been enrolled for several months now with no anticipation of stopping. My daughter came in to this school having trouble focusing and difficulty regulating her emotions. Several weeks of her attending this school, I had a routine parent teacher conference in which her teacher discussed how she previously had trouble not being so hard on herself when she would make a mistake, then he mentioned that recently something had changed. I smiled at him and let him know she had recently joined iYa Taekwondo and that perhaps this was reflecting in her classwork. She has gained confidence, she is motivated, and she has overall grown so much through this school. I am thrilled we enrolled her and I am happy to say my husband has found joy in joining the adult class here as well. Thank you so much to Ms. Xai and all the instructors that are continuing to help our family grow in more positive ways through learning and practicing taekwondo.

We have been at iYa Taekwondo for a few months now and I would highly recommend this place. Kids do learn discipline here and I have seen the positive changes in my kid as well. Highly recommend it!

We love iYa Taekwondo! Master Xai is patient, compassionate, and an effective instructor. She connects well with students of all ages. The lessons center on self-defense, but also include a focus on good behavior and discipline. There are elements of physical fitness, martial arts technique, sparring, and discussions about life lessons.
