My son has recently started taekwondo and there are already positive changes. I’m very pleased with the structure and the way that they keep me well informed.
My daughter has been enrolled in taekwondo and jujitsu classes at this school for a year and a half, and we couldn't be more pleased. The instructors are incredibly supportive and empathetic, and they possess a knack for effectively engaging with students. They invest ample time in each student to ensure they are proficient and prepared to progress in their ranks. I wholeheartedly encourage others to give it a shot
I’ve been taking my daughters to Syde Kontrol for about 10 months now and have seen them grow immensely in their confidence. They both do Taekwondo and my oldest does Brazilian Jujitsu as well. Master Kirk and Master Galloway have not only created a great environment for teaching and challenging their students in both martial arts, they also foster a wonderful sense of community. They genuinely care about their students progress not only on the mat, but in life in general. If you’re wanting to learn how to effectively defend yourself, then this is the school for you.
Excellent strength, character, and community building has helped my son gain confidence & happiness through the support/patience of instructors and his experienced peers. Additionally, Syde Kontrol offers discounts to Pivotal Fitness members, as it’s conveniently located next door.
Wonderful people, great instructors. Very patient and understanding with the students, wouldn't go anywhere else. Can't recommend enough.
We just started our free trial week for my 12 y/o son, and are already very impressed. We've been met with patient instruction, and kind hospitality. Excited to signed up for the long haul.
Great instruction and learning experience! 10/10 would recommend coming over and giving it a try!
I am here daily and it is wonderful to see the kids so engaged at this martial arts school. The instructors are uber-passionate about their craft, and care greatly on giving the kids a positive experience each class. I highly recommend this school for kids who are interested in learning self defense and martial arts.
I test drove several places in the area for TKD and Ju Jitsu. The instructors here have the training, talent, patience, and experience to train both my shy young daughter and keep my ego in check while we both improve. Martial arts is a daily challenge beyond the gym. And the instructors keep you engaged along the way. Start your family's challenge here!
We have our 4 homeschooled boys ages 5-12 enrolled in Brazilian Jujitsu and Taekwondo and we love it! The instructors are knowledgeable, patient and encourage the kids to be their best selves on and off the mat. Trying a free class was the best thing for us, and now we go several times a week because the boys enjoy being there!
My son absolutely loves going to Ronin! Mr. Galloway is extremely patient. Nothing but a great experience and highly recommend to anyone.
Great instructors, very family oriented. Worth the money!
Started taking my son because he's been "shut in" for so long. Terrific people! May even sign my wife and myself up as well.
Come check out our martial arts family. Here's my experience as an adult student: I began my journey training under Master Kirk and Mr.Galloway over 2 years ago now(before the new SC location opened) . When I began I could not kick higher than a foot off the ground. I had plantar faciitis and had more extra weight than I care to admit. I finally stopped making excuses and tried class. They both know how to work with and around disability temporary or permanent, physical or mental. I could hardly stand on the mats very long at first because of my condition. I dropped about 30lbs in 6 months with Taekwondo and a moderate diet. My condition is gone. I'm continually impressed by how hard they push everyone and how they have their students backs. Thank you Ronin!
Mr. Galloway and Master Kirk are great instructors. Highly recommend.
When it comes to Martial Arts - they are number "Hana" which means #1 in Korean. The instructors Mr. Galloway and Master Kirk are hands down awesome. They are great with the kids and are also personable. My family and I love it and highly recommend.
We have loved our time at Ronin! My son with SPD has grown so much that we were able to stop his OT. I have watched my boys come out of their shells and gain confidence in everyday life in just a few months of being a part of the Ronin. The instructors are wonderful with the kids. They are disciplined, but understanding with the children. The patience exhibited by Master Galloway with the Little Samuris class is absolutely inspiring to watch! I highly recommend Family Martial Arts!
Quality Taekwondo and Brazilian Jujitsu instruction for the kids. We enjoy the homeschool class time. Yoga in the back for the caregivers (extra) is also very nice and convenient.
Great teacher that actually care about you
I am so thankful to have found this academy. My son loves it here and I cannot recommend Family Martial Arts Center enough. My son had a previously horrible martial arts experience and cried, begging me not to ever go again. Then, after walking in the downtown square of Summerville, and looking in Windows - he asked to try this place. I was so excited for him to try again, but skeptical. From the moment I spoke to Mr. Galloway, I knew this place was the real deal and special. My son really was captivated and his shyness melted away. Master Kirk has instructed some of the classes also and the kids are also enthralled with the lessons. When we were beginning, it was clear that they were all about family. Both Master Kirk and Mr. Galloway are family oriented. It's because they believe in what they teach, the kids truly learn from them. My husband is even contemplating on doing classes! We look forward to each week. Anyone who is a part of the Martial Arts Family here, is lucky!
I have taken my son (7) to a lot of martial arts places but this is by far the best. Joe, one of the instructors, is so good at teaching kids and has outstanding patience. I would recommend this to everyone for their children!
Love everything about it. Great atmosphere, great deal, and great people.
This is such a great martial arts school! My son loves it so much! Their instructors focus on teaching not only the martial art, but the principles that come with it that can be taken out of the school and into life!
We absolutely love and recommenn this place. Our girls have learned a lot. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.🤼🧗
