We started taking our 4-year-old son to Master Khechen’s Martial Arts Academy back in October, and he absolutely loves it! He literally asks every day, “Is today a Master Summer’s day?”, he practices moves at home, and he loves every moment of it. Grand Master Summer is incredible with kids. He’s engaging, genuinely funny, and somehow manages to keep a whole group of small humans focused without it ever feeling rigid or intimidating. The classes are structured, but still fun—and honestly, they’re entertaining to watch as a parent too. Bruce is gaining confidence, learning discipline and respect, and burning off energy in the best possible way. We’ve seen real growth in him, and he looks forward to class every single time. There’s a reason this place has ~70 reviews and every one of them is five stars. It’s earned. We’re so glad we found this place and would recommend it to any parent looking for a positive, well-run martial arts program for their kid.

The experience I had from taekwondo has made me become a confident and disciplined person! Master Summers has been so good to me and my family. Thank you for all the lessons - not just in techniques but in mindset and lifestyle. Definitely recommend to all those who are trying to better themselves.

We came into this program with no expectations. We wanted to provide our kid an alternative to video games as he had rejected other suggestions to play sports. Master Summers approach and ability to connect have drastically improved our child's confidence and provided focus to become his best version yet! We love the community, from parents and peers, just a great environment...
