“They really help share the load, giving each student more one-on-one time than I have ever seen anywhere else.”
“They have periodic belt tests and that’s the chance the parents get to ask Dan to address any issues they need help with at home or in school.”

From the reviews
This is a great Martial Arts school. The instructor (Dan) and his staff are awesome. Master Dan himself his very respectful, knowledgeable and professional. The classes are well run and all the kids I see come in have smiles on their faces.
We love Mu DO Martial Arts! My wife and I started my son at Mu Do when he was 6 years old by taking advantage of a 9 classes for $99 special they offer. After it became clear that he loved spending as much time there as he could we enrolled him for a year, and he has been there for about 8 months now.
I signed my son and daughter up in June, so we have been here for 3 months. They both love it! I have definitely seen a difference in motor skills and balance. I love how discipline is really implemented.
My son started a 9 week trial. He loved it so much that we signed him up for a year. Master Daniel is very knowledgeable & cares about each student individually & helps them with their minor struggles with his wisdom & great advice.
Your first taekwondo class at MU DO MARTIAL ARTS
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
