Martial Arts

Ruth has helped me to develop muscles that I was not using to improve my posture and fitness. She constantly challenges me while making our sessions fun. Her workouts make you feel that you are really doing something and the results are evident.

It is cool

Shiva karate school has a wonderful atmosphere and is very friendly to the kids and parents. I highly recommend it

Horizon Taekwon-Do

Has definitely given my daughter more confidence!

Very knowledgeable instructor, great class room environment. 👍

I have been a part of different sport clubs that didn't care about the members (only the $). When I first started going, they were holding a Friday night class in a school gym. I was 17 at the time and my parents told me I should try their two free classes. Now I will admit I really thought I would hate it, I thought it was going to be a big waste of time. When I got there, I told my parents I wouldn't like this and that the instructors were going to be like any other coach I had and suck. That all changed as the night went on. We were doing kicking drills and the helpers grabbed kicking shields for everyone to kick. I guess the head instructor had seen me front snap kick one of the shields which caused the helper to nearly fall down. He came over to me and asked "where did you learn that?" I was caught off guard by this, I don't remember what my response was but I remember thinking to myself "this might not be so bad for two free classes". On my second free class, one of my friends and I were there early so we hung out in a corner of the gym. I was still unsure about joining, and told my friend about it. While we were talking, the head instructor came over to us and said "You guys have a lot of talent and are more than welcome to attend our regular classes any time". I smiled and said "Uh thanks" he then left to speak with the other instructors. Later in that class, the head instructor brought out a plastic re-breakable board and asked if anyone wanted to try and break it. Another one of my friends dared me to raise my hand so I did as I did not want to be called a "big wuss". The instructor smiled and replied "Alright! Come give it a try" I stood up and nervously walked over to the head instructor who was holding the board out for me to kick. He said in a friendly voice "I believe you got this". Now, I hate being put on the spot, but somehow I was able to calm my nerves. After the butterflies in my stomach faded away, I kicked the board breaking it in one try. The head instructor, along with everyone else in the gym went silent, the instructor than broke the silence with a chuckle and said "now that's how it's done!" followed by a pat on the back. It was at that moment I decided to join Tae-Kwon-Do. I still to this day don't know what the head instructor saw in me, but I don't regret training under him for the past two years and counting. The instructors give 110% while teaching. I am glad I stayed. Thank you for all you have taught me Sir. 😎

Elijah, my son, who is five years old, started joining the group in the middle of this year. At first he was a little bit shy but was able to blend with the group (mighty dragons) easily because instructors and students were so friendly and very welcoming. They even let him join in their class to get used in their routine to make him feel if he really likes to learn martial arts (taekwando) I like the way the instructors teach each students how to be a good listener in class and at home, how to be proud of themselves, become respectful and gain self discipline by following instructions. The experience in his first class with the mighty dragons made him more eager to attend classes from once a week to twice a week! He always looking forward to attend his taekwando lessons aiming for higher belts. Now, Elijah is enjoying his new class learning new techniques and new routines. Instructors are so awesome in coaching their students, they are so patient in teaching to make sure a skill is executed properly. I would definitely recommend this group. I have no regret in registering my child. It's all worth it!!!

Great place to learn taekwondo! The instructors are strict (not too strict) but they make learning fun!

AAA+++

All of my three boys trained at Doerksen Taekwon-Do. They started at when they were six years old until they graduated in high school. Two have attained first dan blackbelts and one second dan blackbelt. I believe that somehow they learned a lot from their trainings and have helped them become into what they are now, all professionals, law-abiding citizens . Thanks a lot Mr. Doerksen. Elmer T.

Has been great for both my teenager (doing tae kwon do, cage fitness, and self defense classes) his attitude and outlook has greatly improved (teenagers!) and he is in good shape, and now my 5 year old. Good people
