We haven't been attending for some time, but Cheng's Martial Arts is the Best! Master Cheng cares and is solid in his instructional formats. I would easily encourage all to attend Cheng's Martial Arts. They value quality over anything else. We plan to return as time and circumstances permit. Sandeep & Aylisha A.

I've been studying TaeKwonDo at Cheng's Martial Arts for several years now. Cheng's is not the closest dojo to my home, but I would never consider anyone else. They have a wonderful approach of helping students grow at their own speed with a good mix of discipline and encouragement. The class is comprised of a good mix of varying abilities (top level athletes as well as some participants with disabilities), and they make everyone feel comfortable regardless of their level. Cheng's has done a wonderful job helping my son understand the benefit of working hard and growing over time. I'm so glad we made the choice of practicing TaeKwonDo, and feel very lucky to have found the good people at Cheng's. I couldn't recommend it more.

I visited Cheng’s Martial Arts School today for a free one day trial. My daughter was super shy but observant of what the sensei was teaching. Sensei Cheng gave me a chance to get on the mat to help calm her anxiety. Towards the end of the class she began to kick on her own. Sensei Cheng and all the other Sensei’s are great with their students! The Dojo is neat and clean! My daughter is now enrolled in this Dojo! I look forward to seeing her in competitions!

My son enrolled in Cheng’s Martial Arts School and he is very enthusiastic about learning karate here. Instructors are very caring and pay attention to the need of the students. From the waiting area parents can keep eye on how their kids are doing. Several other people are there to help while students are following the instructions. This is very helpful and important for martial arts training. Practice is key for martial arts and monitoring how students are doing is very important. I really like Cheng’s techniques of teaching. Training staffs are friendly and experienced on their job well. I hope my kid will be a karate 🥋 kid soon 😀

Just left my 5 year old's Little Dragon's class at Cheng's Martial Arts School and am extremely impressed! Everyone was extremely friendly and professional and we really felt like family as soon as we hit the door! The owner was very involved and kind and the instructors were awesome! I plan on signing up my older son ASAP and maybe even myself! I'm so excited to be a part of this school and look forward to many years at Cheng's!
