The Masters and Instructors of Majest Martial Arts


“The instructors at Majest are just amazing. My son has been at Majest for over three years now, and even when we’re outside the school he talks constantly about how much he wants to be like them. They know how to keep a class focused and disciplined, while at the same time being fun and funny. I couldn’t ask for better role models for my son.” – J.N.


“My son has been taking lessons for just over a year now and he absolutely loves it. He has learned so much since his first class. What we love the most is how genuine the instructors are. They truly care about the kids. My son has learned so much about TKD, but also so much about discipline and respect. This was the best decision we have made for our son. I highly recommend taking lessons here.” – P.H.


“Majest Martial Arts is a wonderful, disciplined, caring place for my child to learn Tao Kwon do. She loves the instructors and has fun while she learns to defend herself. They teach our daughter with dignity and respect. Students learn at their pace but the expectation is that everyone can become a black belt. The instructors have high expectations which we like. Our daughter has learned about respecting elders, a different language, and culture and how to defend herself. Overall, our experience at Majest has been awesome. Thank you giving our daughter a safe place to learn and be a part of a wonderful family of people.” – S.M.
