“This an amazing experience for young children. Teaches them so much more than martial arts! Master Mountain is phenomenal!” Sherrie W.
“I started taking classes a few weeks ago …. I was trying to challenge myself to get out and do “more” and get out of my winter slump … Well it’s worked! … And what I have gained is so much more … When I was was a child I was bullied and I never wanted to play the victim or have any one feel sorry for me but it does effect your confidence and self esteem … I love that not only is master mountain teaching me self defense but he is teaching me to get my eyes off the ground 😀”. Tina Wiley
“This family-owned business is wonderful and I would recommend whole-heartedly. I love that Master Mountain is the only instructor, regardless of age or level and that everyone knows our names and takes a personal interest in our family. The facility is very convenient and clean clean clean! Highly recommend!” Melissa Cohen
“My 8 year old son has been a student at Mountain Martial Arts and Wellness since their opening in the Village of West Clay. He absolutely loves his class and I have seen such a boost in his confidence. Master Mountain not only teaches martial arts but also important life skills such as discipline and respect for others.” Sarah Ash Simpson
“My Son, daughter and I train with Master Mountain. Master Mountain has had a massive impact on all of us and our classes are a highlight of our week. This is a place of great learning, friends and Martial art mastery. Master Mountain is excellent with both his young and older pupils and we are lucky to have him in our community.“ Jethro Lloyd
“This martial arts studio offers everything you could possibly want and some you wouldn’t expect: A nurturing environment for children of all ages, warmth, discipline, encouragement, technique, safety, life skills, camaraderie and more. My son started at 9 yo and I see the improvement in his flexibility and skills. My 5 yo daughter wanted to do it too and has a lot of fun. Now they are 10 and 6 and going strong. MasterMountain treats everyone with great respect and expects much of the children and gets that. For the 3-5 year olds he is very funny and playful but still teaching them the basics. I can’t imagine a better studio and one in which you are always instructed by the master himself. Plus, you can take your classes different days if some weeks the days you normally attend don’t work. They are very flexible. For kids, they’ve already offered two free Friday nights of pizza, playing games (dodgeball, balloons) and a movie so the parents could have 2-3 hours to go out. For the best in instruction (and more), this is the martial arts studio to select.” Terri Cribb
“I joined Mountain Martial Arts 18 months ago. As one who had some experience in the past I found Mountain Martial Arts to be a great and inspirational school. Master Mike is both personal and very professional helping each and every person realize they respective potential. I would highly recommend the school to adults (I am 61 years old) youth and kids.” Eli Karen
“I practiced Tang Soo Do in high school and after leaving for college, I never found another Tang Soo Do studio close by, but kept myself in the Martial Arts loop by studying other styles. Luckily I found Mountain Martial Arts in 2018! Every studio has its own culture, from very formal to very relaxed. This studio has the perfect balance of a major focus on discipline and respect, but the warmth and welcoming personalities of Master Mountain and his wife Michele to make even the most novice beginner comfortable. They offer something for everyone. After being taught by many Instructors in many different studios for the past 16 years, I’m happy to be home in a Tang Soo Do dojang, and this is by far the best place I’ve been, hands down. My only regret is not finding them sooner.” Kathleen Belt
“We were looking for a strong martial arts studio that married discipline with physical training but could handle young-ish kids and Mountain Martial Arts nails it. They allow the right amount of play and fun but match it with an expectation of respect, attention and performance. Whether your child is physically talented or not, naturally athletic or not they manage them beautifully. Expecting the best and bringing it out. Even better they build a community through non-training events that encourage the kids (old and young) to meet, help and teach each other. They come highly recommended.” Thomas Gallen
“Mountain Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for our son (2nd grade). He loves going to class, and we’ve seen a really positive change in his attitude at home, too. The classes are a great mix of discipline, focus and fun. We appreciate the flexibility in scheduling — you can go to multiple classes a week and are not limited to a specific class. Also, it’s month-by-month rather than committing to 6 months like the other studio we considered. Most of all, we appreciate how Michael (Master Mountain) and Michelle connect with the kids and encourage them to be their best.” Alexis Sutera
“It’s a really good martial arts school!! My girl loves it. Coach Mountain is a fantastic teacher!!” Yu Jin
