My daughter has been attending the Tiger class for over a year. She has learned so much and really enjoys coming to class. The instructors are wonderful and incredibly patient with the children. Greg and Michael motivate my daughter and help her meet her goals. It is a very flexible family run business.

I purchased one of Yongsa's Grand Opening specials with the hope that my daughter would make it through the 8 week introductory period and gain some self-defense techniques and confidence. It is now 2 years later, she earned a State Championship last year, and is on the path to black belt. My son has also joined the program and is one tough competitor. We've been thrilled with the support the Yongsa team gives our kids inside and outside the studio.

My two boys LOVE going to Yongsa. We've been part of the "Yongsa family" for six months and I am amazed of how much my boys have leant! My older son had a tournament just a little after he stared and he brought home couple of medals. Mrs. Tara, Mr. Greg, and Mr Michael are a truly loving, caring and very passionate family and they love what they do. My kids are not only learning martial art but they also do an amazing job in instilling important values such as respect, discipline, and self-control.

My son started the Tiger program in August 2018. While hesitant at first, this is now one his favorite things to do and he asks me every day whether we are going to class. The tiger program is excellent for toddlers as it helps reinforce positive behavior and positive attitudes. The Yongsa staff (Ms Tara, Mr Michael, Mr Greg) are great. Very patient with my millions of questions, accommodating to parent requests, and definitely enthused about the art form. One other point, I have yet to see either of them have a “bad day” or give less than 100% for any of the classes. This speaks to the passion and enthusiasm they have for what they do and is a huge plus in my book. The instructors are firm enough so that the toddlers understand they are not to fool around, but fun enough where they still have a blast. My son has not stopped smiling since he started and I look forward to when my youngest is old enough to start lessons as well. I highly recommend this business.
