Student Experiences
Ethan has been a member of EMA for more than 3 years and we have nothing but a good experience with this place. How they handled this COVID situation is beyond exceptional and we are very pleased with our instructors and their effort. Well done, EMA! My daughter really enjoys the live semi-private lessons with Master John and Mr. CJ. She receives high quality instruction and immediate feedback, just like when her class was meeting in person.
Sophia would rather be back on the mat with her favorite instructors, she has greatly enjoyed the semi-private classes. It’s the next best thing! We appreciate the consistency and it gave our kids some normalcy in unprecedented times. We loved that they could do a live steaming class and have access to prerecorded videos if we missed class.
Two people in our household are enrolled at EMA, one 7 year old and one adult. We take advantage of taking classes in the private FB group and live semi-private classes at our convenience. It has been wonderful for our son to be able to continue his training with his instructors online. He is able to get a workout at home with familiar instructors and stay consistent with his forms and techniques. It also gives him a familiar schedule and adds routine to his day.

Our extended family has always been loyal to EMA and EMA has made it possible for everyone to stay fit, continue to learn TKD, and advance, all students have to do is show up. We have absolutely loved the semi-private classes! They give our weeks a sense of routine, and keep Henry physically and mentally challenged. The tip checks give him some accountability and a goal to work towards. He loves taking class with Mr.
We were so happy to have this training available to help keep up on her skills. It was a bit challenging because she had just received her blue belt so she didn’t know her forms etc. but it was very well organized and interactive! We have friends who take at other TKD school and they offered online training, but zero options for advancement.
