Ascend Martial Arts

My Daughter Priscilla has been going to Ascend Martial Arts for 2 year’s now and it’s been a truly amazing experience. Master Cancino and his staff are exceptional, and highly qualified. They truly care about your kids growth. Ever since my daughter started going to Ascend her school grades! Improved, her attitude Improved, and her self confidence. Ascend teaches so many great things not just martial arts. They also focus on building strong character. They teach about life lessons, confidence, discipline, respect, morals, humility, accountability, teamwork and so many more great things it’s such a positive atmosphere. I highly recommend Ascend martial Arts to anyone in the Reno/Sparks area.

I can tell you from my first experience here at ascend martial arts they are extremely professional and a high quality martial arts training center. And trusted both of my daughters to this school with wonderful results. I started martial arts back when I was 14 years old in Seoul South Korea and the standard at the Ascend is much like what I experienced in my early training. Staff and teachers are extremely talented patient and experienced with young and old. Master can casino far and above is the best martial arts trainer in taekwondo and the West Coast.

My daughter has been attending Ascend for a year and has enjoyed the experience immensely. She consistently looks forward to her classes and has developed significantly as an individual over the past year. Beyond improving her physical strength and self-defense skills, she is taught discipline and respect. This has led to notable improvements in her behavior both at home and at school. The instructors, including Mrs. Cha-Ca, Ms. Cancino, and Mr. McGuffey, demonstrate great dedication to ensuring each student masters the necessary forms. They are always willing to provide additional assistance to my daughter after class when she wants to work on a specific skill. It is incredibly rewarding to see the pride she feels upon achieving rank advancements or being selected to demonstrate a skill in front of the class. I can’t wait to see what she’ll learn next and to see her become a black belt in the future. I would highly recommend Ascend to anyone interested in learning martial arts.

My son has been training with Ascend Martial Arts in Reno for over three years, and the experience has been truly transformative. The instructors here are exceptionally dedicated—each one brings a high level of professionalism, patience, and genuine passion for teaching Taekwondo. What stands out most is how they give individual attention to every student, regardless of age or skill level, ensuring that everyone progresses at their own pace while still being challenged to grow. Ascend Martial Arts focuses not only on physical training but also on building strong character. Through consistent practice, he has become more self‑disciplined, confident, and mentally resilient. Their classes are structured, engaging, and designed to help students develop strength, flexibility, focus, and respect—core values that extend far beyond the mat. Whether your goal is to learn effective self‑defense, improve fitness, or build confidence, Ascend Martial Arts provides an encouraging and supportive environment to help you get there. I highly recommend Ascend Martial Arts to anyone in the Reno area looking for quality Taekwondo instruction and a community that truly cares about your growth.
