Martial Arts

As a former student of 6 years, I would like to say: at the start, (Ms.) Instructor Gross and Instructor Debut were the most amazing instructors I have ever faced. As time got on, they were both let go or transferred. After so, Instructor Cornthwaite and Instructor Mangrum were the replacements. Instructor Mangrum was charged with a DUI after the fact that I left. It became a toxic area filled with abuse (not disciplinary training) and my mother pulled us out. Meanwhile, I transferred to a local karate place, in which I realized those were 6 years of my life wasted. They taught me to the minimum and sucked money out of my mother.

Awesome gym! I travel for work and these guys were all great to roll with. Now go train!

I have attended Pil Seung Taekwondo for five years and enjoyed every moment of it! I love going to class because of the people and great exercises. I am the most fit I have ever been because of Taekwondo.

This is a excellent place to train! I have been training here for about 9 months now and have never been disappointed with a lesson. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to train or that needs help losing weight. Training here have been a great place for me to lose weight and learn self-defense.

I took a basic karate course at Halterman Karate for 8 weeks that counted as college credit. It was a very good experience with a great staff and a positive environment. I would definitely recommend Halterman Karate to anyone, especially women because we learned a lot of valuable self defense techniques. This class was a good workout, and taught all of the basics of karate.
