Zhang Sah offers a warm & welcoming environment for active PreK kids. We have a sports kid who loves to MOVE. Zhang Sah offers the role models, martial arts training, creative activities, literacy games, personal attention and outdoor time that 3- and 4-year-olds need. Special thanks to Ms. Sarah, Mr. Brown & Ms. Chaimaa for your care and attention.

I have been training at Zhang Sah for approximately 10 years and think it is amazing. Both of my children were part of the afterschool program and also trained in martial arts here. The staff and instructors are always kind and helpful. The training is fantastic and I would recommend to everyone. I'm looking forward to continuing to train for at least another 10 years, and hope that my kids will come back to the dojo to train with me.

Zhang Sah is a fantastic martial arts-focused pre-K program that has been a wonderful experience for our family. Our daughter attended pre-K there and now enjoys their aftercare program. The unique blend of martial arts with early childhood education has helped her develop discipline, confidence, and physical coordination, all while having fun. The staff is dedicated and nurturing, creating a safe and enriching environment. We absolutely love Zhang Sah and highly recommend it to other families!

Our son attends Pre-K here and loves it. The class size was better than the other 2 schools we toured. They have a karate component and a Mandarin teacher. They have weekly newsletters and zoom calls to stay in touch with what is happening. He is definitely learning, he knows his days of the week and sings songs in mandarin. At this age as long as he comes home happy and wants to go back, that's all that really matters!
