My daughters and I have been training at Mountain Martial Arts and Wellness for 4½ years, and a year ago my husband started training as well. We absolutely love it. Master Mountain and Michele have created a friendly and welcoming community in which mistakes are part of learning and incremental progress is celebrated. They genuinely care about the growth and development of each student. And the training itself is second to none. Master Mountain is truly a master, both of Tang Soo Do and of teaching. He models excellent technique and explains the movement patterns, strategy, and underlying principles in a way that is accessible to his students – whether he’s teaching the Tiny Tigers or the adult class. I have also visited Mountain Martial Arts and Wellness for chiropractic care and am grateful for the exceptional care and guidance I have received.

This martial school rocks! Master Mountain does an amazing job with the kids and teaches core life skills not just the martial art piece. My daughter will be attending her 3rd year this October. It is truly a welcoming community and it has been so fun to see the kids grow in so many ways. I highly recommended your family trying it out!

Honestly, 4.9 stars on nearly 50 reviews is underrated. The Mountains are incredible with their students. My 8 year old daughter has been in their program for about three years. Master Mountain’s lessons are not limited to the physical art. He encourages discipline, respect and focus by giving advice to young inspiring minds. We are so impressed with his life lessons and leadership. We can easily see how valuable their curriculum is for our oldest so we decided to enroll our 3 and 6 year old girls as well. The training gives me peace of mind that all three of my girls will be able to protect themselves if a situation ever arises. I am very grateful for the Mountain family and what they are doing for our community. All of these perfect reviews are spot on.

The Mountain Center recently offered my Girl Scout troop of first graders an intro martial arts lesson with an emphasis on age appropriate self defense skills and it was a great success. Mr. and Mrs. Mountain were so good with the girls and instructed them in an engaging way that allowed for them to have a ton of fun while learning useful skills. I was so appreciative of their willingness to offer the lesson and the amazing job they did. My girls earned their courageous and strong petal that day, and it was easily one of the best troop meetings we've ever had. The Mountains are a gift to this community!

Our 6 yo son has been going to Master Mountain for almost 3 years now and loves it. Instruction is great, instilling discipline, hard work, and respect. What Master Mountain teaches in the studio manifests at home in my son’s day-to-day life. We will be sending our almost 3 yo to Master Mountain and Michelle (who is equally awesome) soon!!! Highly recommend!!!
