Highly recommend Youngho Hapkido Martial Arts Academy!!
All the instructors are greatly experienced, professional and friendly. They taught my sons not only physical martial art, but manners and positive mindset. My sons love to go there and learn hapkido with other friends. They're also doing an excellent job mitigating COVID related hazards thesedays ;)

I am so grateful to have found such a welcoming, friendly, and diligent martial arts centre for my children. Diane, the head director is the most helpful and thorough instructor to any and all children. We always feel welcomed in this dojang. Along with her, instructor Tony is always so informative to the kids while making the experience for them fun at the same time. My daughter has learned to become very confident which is a big turn around from her initial timid personality. She can now express herself with courage and determination. All the instructors were patient with her alongside, while

Consider this for your next birthday party! We just recently held a celebration for our child's birthday at Yongho Hapkido Martial Arts Academy. It was our first time there, but felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. The space is bright, clean and welcoming.
The booking process is easy and the owner, Diane, is such a pleasure to deal with. She really makes it fun, but educational also, for the kids in that 2-hour party time.
The cost is reasonable and includes pizza and drinks for the kids. We ended up bringing our own food in as well, which was handy for providing snacks for the parents

The Yongho Hapkido also offers women only fitness classes 6 times a week. I recently joined and have found them extremely effective. Positive atmosphere and challenging routines help you to push yourself but yet keeping it in a friendly environment. Perfect for women who are trying to fit excersise in their busy lives. This workout incorporates excersise that benefit your entire body. Very holistic!

I had an amazing time at Kang Ho hapkido as it is far different from any other ubiquitous martial arts dojang. I learned many things which simply cannot have been taught anywhere else. There was a lot of variety to choose from as one day it could specialize in grappling while the next in self defence. I honestly enjoyed my time here as there was no set age limit as this martial arts could only get as hard as the effort put in by the student. I highly recommend this martial arts to anyone interested in martial arts.

My son and I have been training in this school for a few years. I couldn’t possibly give anyone a higher recommendation. Not only have I gained knowledge of Hapkido, but I consider everyone at the dojo family. New students will learn quite a few self-defence techniques ( joint lock and other techniques), rolling , advanced Kicking , patterns, ground techniques and weapons such as nunchuck, long Stick , short stick , sword ,...

I am extremely satisfied with Kang Ho Hapkido and would highly recommend this school to all ages. My son has been at Kang Ho Hapkido for over 2 years and it has been the one constant sporting activity that he continues to enjoy. Owner and instructors are fantastic. It's a lot more than learning how to kick and defend yourself. They improve values that we support in our home; being respectful of themselves and others, being positive and responsible for yourself and not only sympathetic, but empathetic of others. When my son leave his session, not only he had a great physical workout, but also his
