GMA Olympic Taekwondo Academy

"My son and I (I am using my husband's account) have been attending GMA Academy for almost two years. My son, who is almost 7, is going for his black belt. Grand Master Abraham has taught his self discipline, self control and how listen and learn. Grand Master is a quiet, thoughtful person; he doesn't yell or intimidate, but he commands respect and he treats his students with respect as well. He is a funny, kind person who obviously loves children and somehow he gets them to focus and listen without ever raising his voice! I am going to qualify for my black belt in a few months. In the year or so since I began, my strength, coordination and reflexes have improved noticeably! Grand Master also teaches adults, we learn the same moves as the children, but we also study self-defense and sparring with each other. I can't recommend GMA enough! If you or your child, have some strength or coordination issues, it is a great, safe place to learn to help those issues. If you or your child have always wanted to do Martial Arts, but were worried about a shouty, mean instructor, then GMA is the place for you. You will not regret it. Come join us!"

"Grand Master helped me to become fit again. It was never a painful experience. He carefully watched and trained me to learn the ancient art of Tae Keon Do. Today at 51 years old I am in the best shape of my life. I am very confident and I wear form fitting clothes with pride. When visitors come to the Do Jang (Gym) I know that they see the result of excellent and careful instruction in each student. I highly recommend any age group to come in for an introductory lesson. Unlock your potential regain your youth. This is an opportunity that can change your life. Bring your sweat clothes you will want to join in. Shawn"

"My son has been coming to GMA Taekwondo for almost a year. We went to other places and although there were bigger Taekwondo gyms, the classes were too big for a true focus on each student. (correct form, structure, discipline, spotting mistakes.) Although my main focus was discipline and being able to defend himself (bullying) through defense, it is reassuring to know that he can fight back. Great Grand Master teaches respect, improving self esteem by learning that every kid has the ability to defend him/herself with these techniques. My son has been doing the next level which is sparring. At first he was not fond of the idea and even timid when starting sparring but as he is practicing he dares to try more and he has the confidence I did not see in him before. It is rewarding to see him have confidence. My son has flourished since he has been coming to Great Grand Master Abraham who has a very impressive background in Taekwondo. Very few are Great Grand Masters. He is one of the few instructors who can test for the World Taekwondo Federation (Korea), he is an Olympic Trainer, Instructor in Ghana, Kenya & US. Even Master to other instructor in town on Southern Blvd.. So I guess my son is instructed by one of the bests."

"Grand Master Abraham's Taekwondo Academy has been great for my son. In 1 year my son has progressed from his white to purple belt. The class size is small and has allowed for very focused training, including individualized training opportunities. There are also opportunities for sparring. At GMA academy instruction has focused on strict adherence to core values and traditions of Taekwondo. There are several locations/instructors to choose, we chose GMA academy because of the level of training required to become a Great Grand Master and felt this could only be a benefit in our sons training. Abraham has trained Olympic and World Taekwondo federation competitors. He has also been instructor to Master Jim. The classes are very competitively priced, and schedule has been flexible."

"I wanted to finish one of my life goals. To earn a black belt in TKD. I met Grand Master Abraham and realized he would help me achieve my goal. Grand Master has 40 years teaching TKD and I have never had a better or more patient instructor. I am very thankful that I found the best teacher. If you are considering Martial Arts start with the best. Shawn"
