What Gladstone Families Are Saying About
Hero Martial Arts
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!
