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.

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 Yu's personality is simply the kindest person you'll 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.

Master S.H. Yu Martial Arts is a great place to strengthen yourself physically and mentally. You learn the basic discipline, focus, and reflexive reaction. In addition to that, you are given the opportunity to force yourself to commit to achieving your goals. The instructors are very dedicated and motivating. However, they can only teach and encourage you to improve. You are in control of whether you do it or not. Martial arts provides a chance for you to choose to change and grow. When I first started, I absolutely hated it. It just wasn't me. Nevertheless, I eventually decided to try to actually learn. It taught me things I never would’ve thought I could do. I was learning control, respect, and perseverance from a beautiful, ancient art. I’m glad I was forced to join because now, I realize that martial arts does influence my life.

My family and I have been students at this martial arts school since 2002. My now adult children (ages 20 and 19) began at ages 5 and 4, respectively, then I joined a few years later. The lessons experienced here helped us immensely in many aspects of our lives, both on and off the mat. I took a nine-year break and lessons/experiences with Grandmaster Yu and Master Wilson were still unfolding yielding their gifts years later. I feel that we would not have achieved the goals we've set for ourselves were it not for that training in our lives at that time. It helped me grow so much as a parent, as a human.The teaching quality at this martial arts school is unsurpassed. Senior Grandmaster Yu is a genuine treasure; we are so lucky to have this opportunity to learn and continue this lineage in such a traditional, undiluted and experiential way. Master Wilson was (and continues to be) a valued mentor in my family's life. She is a firm but compassionate instructor and needed, exemplary role model for women. It goes without saying that you will become physically fit from this training, but honestly that is just a byproduct.

My boys (8 and 5 years old) started at Master S.H. Yu Martial Arts about 4 months ago and they absolutely love it. Grandmaster Yu and Master Wilson have cultivated a welcoming and nurturing community. The kids learn confidence, respect, and discipline. They are challenged to grow physically and mentally, which is different than other schools. It really feels like a family community here and we are happy to be a part of it.
