Absolutely exceptional teaching team! From the very first class, it was clear that our son belonged to this wonderful community.
Great option for my kid, who isn’t motivated to participate in team sports, but is loving Tae Kwon Do. I love that Gabel Martial Arts is a supportive atmosphere but also focused on learning and improvement!
The absolute care about each and every student that exists here is amazing. We have 3 children and myself enrolled and can’t wait for our other children to be old enough to enroll. Gabel martial arts is truly a home away from home for our child to learn, grow, be themselves, and expand their tae kwon do and athletic knowledge.
We’ve gained so much from our time here, and I’m incredibly grateful for Master Gabel, Ms Yujin, Ms Cindy, and the rest of the instructors. It really is like an extended family.
We couldn’t get our son to agree to do any sports. We took him to 1-2 sessions here and he was hooked. He loves what he is learning, practices his kicks all the time, is proud that he can count to 10 in Korean, and so much more! As parents, we love the confidence, self-defense, as well as respect for himself and others he is learning. Very great place with excellent instructors! We love it here!
I love that my girls are apart of a thriving community oriented program! I can’t wait for my youngest daughter to be old enough to join!
Been bringing my son here for months and we love it. They do so much additional things too, such as parents night out 1-2x a month, day classes when my sons school is out and I have work and summer camp too, all very affordable.
I've been here for almost 4 years and this place is amazing! The instructors are great, they almost always have events and stuff for the kids, and the students show actual discipline.
I just wish we would’ve joined sooner. I have already noticed a big difference in my son’s behavior and his attitude towards trying new things and his confidence. We genuinely enjoy being apart of this community!!
