    I have been a student of Grand Master S.H. Yus for 7 months now and have enjoyed every minute. What I like most about my experience thus far, is the fact that all of the instructors at the school do not try to mold you into a single image. Some people and kick high and others cannot (myself included). The instructors teach me at my pace and for my capabilities. I also like the fact that all of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable. They are all mild-mannered, patient and are excellent with younger students as well. Im a parent of a 4 year old and next year Im planning on enrolling him. This is a great school and a great place to learn about your body, yourself and martial arts.

    My son was a student for many months at the school before we moved out of state. Let me say this is by far the best karate school ever on the planet! I was overly pleased with the structured skills taught by Master Yu. They were impressive! The fact that the energy in the building is extremely positive had me sold upon entering. Master Yus personality is simply the kindest person youll ever meet. The discipline is shown in such a healthy way that the students automatically have the highest respect for their instructors. Master Yu sets the tone for being a great leader so gracefully. My son had nothing but respect for Master Yu and the other instructors. Every time he attended class he was intrigued with excitement and dedication. He looked forward to going everyday because he was actually learning. But more importantly, I noticed that he was listening which was something he failed to do at times. The other thing I admired that students had to do were writing assignments to show their diligence and how hard work is earned and not given. The teachings and guidance taught here at this martial arts school is bar to none! The authenticity of the foundation to the basics is set apart from any other karate school my son had attended. The bonus that you receive for being a student here is that Grand Master Yu teaches and passes on ancient traditional martial art styles and skills( nothing you can learn about in a book). How cool is that! My son has developed the greatest skills in martial arts and he applies them to his everyday life. He looks forward to continuing his journey to being the best he can be in life using martial arts.

    I joined Grand master Yu’s school in July 2017 and after 6 months, I can say that everything about this school is great! First, the Dojang is beautiful. It has a large matted area that provides a lot of space for practicing, and it is always clean. Grand Master Yu teaches a style that combines traditional Korean martial arts with several other Asian martial arts. This is so much more than punching and kicking! I have particularly been enjoying learning new self defense techniques and discovering the artistic aspect of traditional martial arts. The teaching environment is safe, and everyone is very nice and welcoming. I attend the adults/teenagers class which has students of all ages and fitness levels. The classes are taught by Grand master Yu, Master Wilson or one of the black belt instructors. All the instructors are really knowledgeable and very supportive. They are present and available throughout the class and participate actively in teaching the class, or help the students with learning new techniques. I have also had the opportunity to see several kids classes and I am looking forward to enroll my son and daughter when they are old enough to start! Finally I would recommend anyone who is thinking of trying martial arts or who (like me) had practiced before and wants to starts again after a long break, to contact Grand Master Yu or Master Wilson and visit the school.

    There is an old proverb that says “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear” well if you are ready to learn traditional martial arts, Grand Master Yu is the teacher for you! I have been taking adult martial arts classes at Master S.H Martial Arts and Fitness Associates for over a year now and I love it! The classes are convenient, and the instructors are great. Grand Master Yu has a way of helping each student get exactly what he or she need from his or her training. Regardless of your level Master Yu and his instructors are determined to make sure each of their students are challenged, constantly improving, and well nurtured as martial artist. I don’t have children, but I love catching Master Wilson and Grand Master Yu interact with the students in their children’s classes. The children who attend Master S.H Martial Arts and Fitness Associates are not only learning defense techniques, but they are taught to be courteous, respectful, and self-disciplined. As a teacher I could only imagine how those traits carry over not only into the classroom or at home, but in all the aspects of their young students’ lives. If I could I would give this place infinite stars because 5 just isn’t enough. I am so glad I decided to study with Master S.H Martial Arts and Fitness Associates.
