Great martial arts program for all ages. After trying out another program my son was crying begging to go back to Hero Martial Arts.
So much more than just taekwondo, many skills are brought in from other martial arts. Real Kukkiwon black belt coaches. This isn't a franchise McDojo.
Fantastic Taekwondo studio! Great place to grow in yourself confidence and gain knowledge that has been around for many years!
It’s been amazing to see the transformation in my son since attending Hero. From the initial conversation, they wanted to get to know my son and how they could best serve us in his growth. I would highly recommend bringing any age kid in to work with them.
Before coming to HERO, I was a high school student who was adventurous and loved to try new things but was known by others as somebody who gave up whenever he hit a roadblock. Whenever something hard came my way, I would simply quit out of fear of failure. On the side, I would devote little time to studying, waste hours of my day playing video games, and live my social life in fear of others' opinions. I lacked discipline in every area of my life. While I was aware of my bad habits and hated them, I put forth no real effort to make a change.
When I heard about HERO, I decided to give it a try, maybe hoping to get in shape or learn some cool moves to get attention from peers. But that's not what Master Butler had in mind. The intentional and rigorous format of the classes quickly drew me in, eager for the next time I would come in. I believe Master Butler and Master Niebling watch every student and help them grow in ways they thought they never could. Since being at HERO for a few months now, I can confidently say my life has changed dramatically. My parents have told me they notice more respect towards them and others. By setting my mind to learning my forms, I have learned to also set my mind to study. I have gotten grades higher than I ever have, making the Dean's List at my college in my very first semester. I have taken every challenge and faced it head-on instead of backing down. My experience as a new college freshman has been better than I ever thought it could be, and I owe it to Master Butler.
At first, I was reluctant about spending $150 a month for membership, but I can say now with confidence it has been worth it every step of the way. I have no intention of stopping anytime soon, and for those who struggle with discipline or self-respect, don't wait any longer; HERO will change your life for the better.
At Hero,
WE ARE THE BEST
HARD WORK PAYS OFF
WE NEVER GIVE UP
We appreciate all the patience and guidance from Master Butler and Chief Davis!
My kids (D10, S8) have been attending beginner classes for 2 months now, and I already see a big change in them. They are usually shy and tentative kids that don’t like to make mistakes. Here, they take risks with enthusiasm. Their skills and fitness levels are growing. The curriculum is organized and logical. I can’t wait for their first belt promotion test in a few weeks. Most importantly, neither can they!
I came to Hero with no idea of what to expect I was struggling with life and looking for some help and guidance. I met Master Butler and Master Neibling and they told me what to expect. I didn’t have a lot of money so they worked a deal out with me. I have now been here a year I’m a purple belt and on my way to becoming a black belt.My life has changed for the better and I only wish I had done this when I was younger I’m grateful and blessed to be a part of the Hero family
Now, my girls feel more confident and have developed many self-defense skills.
Great place for your kids to learn
Amazing instructors, great curriculum/student development, and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend!!
We currently have our son enrolled here and there has been a massive improvement in attitude and his listening skills. 6 year olds do come with a lot of undirected energy and he is catching himself and slowing down not to hurt himself and others around him. Awesome direction from the facility and great patience.
Our son has attended Hero for more than 5 years! He really enjoys it! They learn forms, falls, discipline, weapons, leadership, board breaks, and more. They test in Taekwondo forms and board breaking. They learn sumo, hapkido and more!
Been at Hero 5 years now and just teated for 1st degree. I love it here and love the people here. Cant believe i made it this far its only because if the great Masters and Instructors here. I am now helping assist classes to give back. You will not regret signing up!
I joined Millennium a little over a month ago. Im 41 and not very fit so I was timid at first. Being in this school has made me stronger and more confident. They have really great instructors who are very patient and knowledgeable at the art. They make you want to work hard and they are very motivating. Ive learned so much in a short amount of time I have been hear. The other students are very nice and also and help out lower belts which is awesome. I definitely recommend Millennium Academy for anyone. So glad I chose this school out of all the ones I looked at.
We found Hero after my 6 year old told me “I wanna be a karate expert!” I brought my three young daughters and we met with Master Neibling and Master Butler. It has only been a few months but my girls’ confidence has improved, my fitness has drastically improved, and it feels like we have joined a community of people who genuinely care about each other and want to strive to be a little better each day. The personal attention from Master Butler and Master Neibling combined with the incredible in-class talents of Chief McMaster, Master Shelton, and Master Davis have been inspiring.
My son has learned so much in his years at Hero Martial Arts. So much more than just martial arts - work ethic, respect, responsibility and leadership. Plus a staff that feels like family and goes above and beyond, especially in the last few topsy turvy pandemic years, to come up with creative ways to keep training and keep the kids engaged throughout.
Before going into martial arts, I was very quiet, lacked confidence as well as self-confidence, and I hardly looked anyone in the eye. After joining Hero, my motivation and confidence strengthened. So did my physical strength, mentality, and flexibility. It also gives me the chance of feeling secure, knowing I can protect myself and those around me.
This has been an excellent experience for our children. They've found parts to be difficult, and found that they can overcome that difficulty. While learning martial arts was the initial goal, growing as individuals has been the larger reward.
We love Hero! My daughter is learning about perseverance, confidence, and sportsmanship, right along with the martial arts skills. Master Mike and Master Neibling are so patient and encouraging of the kids in their Little Ninjas class, and we’re really glad to have found such a great fit for our daughter.
My son has been part of the Hero Martial Arts family for about 2-1/2 years. He loves it and so do we. The Masters and Leaders are such great people with high character and quality standards for hard work and achievement. The teachers/instructors help physically train you, while focusing on life skills and lessons. My son just earned his Brown belt as an 8yo. I hope he spends his life affiliated with this great organization. Thank you for everything you've done for my son.
