My kids genuinely enjoy coming here and have really taken to learning Taekwondo. The grandmaster is not only professional but also incredibly knowledgeable, which makes a big difference. It speaks volumes that some of his students stay on even after earning their black belts—clearly a testament to the dedication and perseverance this place encourages. I highly recommend it for any parents looking for a meaningful extracurricular activity for their children. If we stay in this area, we’ll definitely keep our kids enrolled here.

Master Somers is great with kids. My son has displayed improved listening skills and a greater capacity for staying focused. I highly recommend White Tiger Martial Arts and enjoyed the opportunity to meet and learn from the legendary Bill Wallace.

My daughter and I signed up for a defense class last Spring and we loved it! My daughter immediately wanted to sign up for classes and I was happy to have her learn more. Learning martial arts has given her confidence, focus, and discipline. She really loves it! Masters Somers and Gibson are very encouraging and are excellent instructors. I highly recommend White Tiger Martial Arts!

Will never go back there again. Guy was completely rude to me for no reason. I would recommend to keep looking elsewhere. No need to treat someone like that.
