As an adult who has never practiced martial arts I was a little nervous about starting. Was I too old? would I be able to do it? But the first time I walked in the door I was greeted by owner/head instructor Thomas Ball and his wife, Jill, who did wonders to set me at my ease. WOTO is a family oriented, friendly school where they respect the fact that, as adults, we have already made an effort just to be there. They are accepting and encouraging. The classes are fun and challenging. From the first kick as a white belt you begin to develop new ways of thinking about the world and yourself. You also start to develop a good sweat. Through cardiovascular excursion and asking your body to do new things a sense of self develops that is otherwise impossible. Not to mention how gratifying it is to look back and remember how things that are easy now seemed impossible. Great rates, wonderful people. If we hadn't moved 2 hours away I'd still be there. (Indeed I am still trying to figure out a way to make that happen)

WOTO is an amazing studio! As an adult, I started martial arts at WOTO less than a year ago. I feel much more confident and fit since starting at WOTO. The teachers are encouraging and do a great job with tailoring the class to the students present that day. For example, at adults-only classes, the instructors often include more cardio work and practical applications of martial arts techniques. They are very aware of the fact that adults make an effort with both their time and money to train, and are very respectful of your effort even if you have never set foot in a dojang before. I have trained in all of the classes that WOTO offers for adults, including taekwondo, hapkido, weapons, (jo and bokken), and core-strike conditioning. WOTO has a wide range of instructors, many of whom have achieved master level, to staff these classes. The kid's classes are also great. Although I do not have children, I have observed these classes and they are top-notch. Kids get a great workout, learn martial arts, and have fun. They work on concentration, focus, and discipline within a fun and low-pressure environment. There are many parent-child "teams" at WOTO and it provides a wonderful bonding opportunity for them. I highly recommend WOTO, whether you are a parent looking for a studio for your child, or an adult looking for a great workout.

If you are looking for the most qualified and knowledgeable instructors for your child, or for yourself, this is as good as there is! They are dedicated and commited to offering the very best instruction in martial arts. My grandaughter is learning things that will help her the rest of her life. Good job!

WOTO is an amazing martial arts studio with classes for everyone in the family!! My 3 kids attended Taekwondo classes while my husband and I took the Corestrike class (similar to kick-boxing). I even took their self-defense class! The instructors are extremely professional, knowledgeable and have high expectations of all their students no matter how old or young. They offer great military and family discounts. Unfortunately for us, we moved out of the state a few months ago and even though we have tried many other studios nothing compares to WOTO.
