Our 6 year old has been going here for lessons for 2 years now. His progress has been fantastic! They are great with their students! Building up discipline, integrity, and confidence has been the root of the problems instruction here, but they also keep everything fun and exciting for the kids! Our kid has thoroughly been enjoying his time at Hoovers! 😃

I have been a regular student and instructor to date since the first day Master Hoover opened his doors in Sioux Falls, SD in 1986. Both of my children have earned up to their 1st and 3rd degree black belts under his direction. Myself and my kids benefited in so many ways...from confidence building, respect, perseverance, kindness, life skills, and so many other attributes....including physical fitness and just a whole lot of fun for kids and adults!

Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Hoover's Martial Arts! As a proud father of a 4-year-old boy, I can’t say enough good things about Hoover's Martial Arts. In just a short time, my son has learned so much, not just in terms of martial arts skills, but also in discipline, respect, and confidence. The instructors are incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly know how to connect with young kids. We’ve now attended two tournaments, and it’s clear that the students trained at Hoover’s perform at a much higher level than the competition. The difference in technique, focus, and sportsmanship is remarkable. If you're a parent looking for a place where your child can grow into an honorable, kind, and hardworking human being, Hoover's Martial Arts is the place to be. Highly recommend! — A Proud Dad
