Aspire has been a great studio for my son for the past year. He loves going to class, feels accomplished, and Mr. Morris is awesome with the kids. We look forward to many more years here.
We love our new Taekwondo family here at Aspire Martial Arts!
Definitely worth going. Mr. Morris & everyone there love what they do. I love the positivity I feel & see there too 🥋
my 6 year old daughter has been going to aspire martial arts for a few months now and she loves it. Mr morris is a great teacher and it’s helped her with her confidence and focus. 10/10 would recommend aspire martial arts
Excellent instruction not only in Martial Arts, but also life lessons. Highest moral standards emphasized to the students in a very positive atmosphere. Mr. Morris is a pillar of strength and outstanding role model for the kids in our community. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Morris and staff.
Aspire is the best!!. My daughter and I are both training here. Excellent teachers and community. She is in tigers and I have taken self defense and am currently in kick boxing which is awesome. We both are having so much fun, gaining strength and developing valuable skills.
Both my child and me attend classes at Aspire Martial Arts and we love it. They teach the kids discipline and values I share which complements and reinforces the education he is receiving at home. I do the women's kickboxing fitness class with Miss Viviana and she is the best. I get to workout, have fun, and learn something new I neve thought I would saw myself even trying.
Aspire has been great for our daughter. She loves learning the forms, different kicks, and she especially loves sparring. Mr. Morris does a good job connecting with the kids and he gains their respect quickly.
My son began his journey with Aspire Martial Arts in 2015. He was only 4.5 and had a typical 4.5 year old attention span. Mr. Morris has a natural gift when it comes to these youngsters. I've personally witnessed not only my own sons growth but countless others as well. We are more like a family at Aspire and all these kids share a very special bond. Developmentally, you can watch the kids progress as they transform within only a matter of weeks. Whether your goal is just an activity for your child during these troubling times or all out martial arts competition you WILL NOT find a better school than Aspire.
As a behavior health professional, it blows my mind how great Mr. Morris is with all personality types to include kids with developmental issues. In fact, they thrive in this environment. Mr. Morris just has a natural gift and it is very impressive. My son loves Mr. Morris like he is family and thinks the world of him. It is so refreshing that he has worked so hard through these difficult times to provide an outlet that is so desperately needed for these kids. Come and see for yourself! You will not be disappointed!
I knew from the moment my son first stepped on the mat a year and half ago at Aspire Martial Arts that this was the best thing for him. I was concerned about his self esteem and confidence before joining the Aspire team. Not only did I see my son’s self esteem grow this past year but his teachers did as well! His focus at school has improved so much! Mr. Morris and his team were relentless throughout this Pandemic. When you have a leader that is determine and unstoppable you know you made the right decision to enroll your child into the program.
Aspire Martial Arts have been the talk of our family for the past couple years. We enrolled our children with Mr. Morris and wow what a difference we have seen in our kids. We enrolled our kids into this program to see their physical abilities grow and learn self defense. They definitely have. Aspire doesn't only teach martial arts. They also teach kids respect and leadership skills. Our kids have grown so much with their program and we are very happy with Mr. Morris and his team.
Aspire has not only been teaching my son the fundamentals of Taekwondo, but he is learning to be a leader. The black belt attitude they teach includes many qualities we strive to implement at home and they help reinforce. Respect, confidence, discipline, responsibility, gratitude, 100% effort among many other traits.
Aspire Martial Arts is the ONLY choice for you or your childs needs. Mr. Morris is a world champion that accepts nothing but the best from his students. Our family has been with him for 5 years and love our Aspire family.
I Love this place. The instructors are very knowledgeable and care about the development of every child while pushing them to be the best version of themselves. I definitely recommend Aspire Martial Arts. They also focus on Life skills and Bully prevention.
My kid didnt want to go at the beginning because he didnt think he will like it
Mr Morris allowed him to try the class and he made him love it from the first class
Now he is very excited to go and he loved the coaches Mr Morris and Mr Lamar and Mr Neil
They are awesome
I would keep my son as long as i can in this place
I edited this review because i forgot to mention how nice is the front desk girl i guess her name was Jessica she was so kind
Thanks again
How do I describe Aspire Martial Arts? It makes me think of walking into a friends, or family members house. You are always greeted with a smile, and often a hand shake. Followed with hello, and smiles from all of the other students and parents. As for instruction Mr. Morris is amazing and is always pushing both himself and the students to setting and accomplishing goals. In the past year multiple students have earned their black belt. What is unique about this, those same students are still in class helping fellow students, being an example for younger students. All of the students have all seen the progress made, tournaments, classes, and belting cycles it has taken to reach that goal. The Aspire Martial Arts Family has had a great influence on my children has been very positive. This adventure started 3 years ago for my family, and has been very rewarding.
I enrolled my granddaughter in Mr. Morris' class because of low self- esteem and shyness. She has blossomed into a self confident, happy 8 year old in just a matter of weeks. Mr. Morris is absolutely incredible in his teachings and compassion for these children. I am a huge advocate for these classes and Mr. Morris' discipline techniques. He strides in helping the children believe in themselves. A BIG 5 stars for this class!

Mr. Morris has built an outstanding Taekwondo program in the Rancho San Diego Community. His instructors are engaging, fair and fun, and Mr. Morris is a masterful teacher and instructor. You and your children will not be disappointed. Social distancing and masking are taken seriously. If you do not live in the area, you should still check it out!
