My son has gone to MAI North for almost 5 years and he loves it! He started by attending the after school program, and then began taking Taekwondo lessons. He also attended the summer camps for 3 years. In that time he’s learned so much about responsibility, leadership, hard work and character, and has found a sport he loves in Taekwondo. I’ve always felt safe and comfortable leaving him in the care of Dave and Andrea and they’ve become such an important positive influence in his life over the years.

This class offers beneficial and effective training in unique skill sets. I went into this class not equipped or feeling confident in how to effectively protect myself. I’ve been in this class for 4 years now and am continually learning new techniques. The instructors are very knowledgeable and humble in their abilities. The instructors are also easy to learn under. The importance of mindset and ability are both incorporated. Much grace is given to new and continuing students alike. This class exhibits a great learning environment. I am grateful for how this class has shaped my outlook on life and for the relationships that have been built around learning.
