Great instructors. They recognize a kids weaknesses and help to overcome them! Fun and effective way to help your child get physical activity while improving in many other areas as well! Highly recommend them!

I disagree with anyone saying this school is easy to earn your belt. Mr.Gomez, ms.amber, Ms. Heather, Ms. Sofia have all been great. They deal with my little dragon and help him feel like he needs to focus more, and build his control on his temper. Classes are usually 45 mins long but they are enough to let a little kid know what he wants to be better at. Im happy to be apart of this school, and what they teach.

Seos Martial Arts is a fantastic organization. They inspire positivity, respect, discipline and good moral behavior. Every day I come in to train I have the workout of a lifetime. Im 51 years old and I have never been an athlete, but I can now do a split and I can kick as high as the sky and Im certain I could defend myself if I ever needed to. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to this organization. It has improved my life in so many ways. As a single mom they have helped my 10 year old daughter practice focus and dicipline, additionally they are teaching her to respect me, express love and gratitude to me. Wow! As a single mom, I dont often get parental help, but they are as invested in the success and positive motivation in my child as I am. I feel like I have a team that is helping me raise my daughter and it means so much to me. Im so thankful to Seos Martial Arts and their incredible leaders. I encourage everyone to join me in improving our fitness, our health and our parenting and family relationships. One of the best investments Ive ever made!

This business signs you up under the guise of monthly payments, it’s not until you attempt to cancel, that you put two and two together. The red marker they use to talk about the numbers. Drawing lines straight to figures, and causing you to miss words, like “financing.” Pressuring you with questions, and offering assistance, if you can’t afford it. They’re basically signing you up for a loan to get a black belt, without telling you that’s what you are doing. Who in their right mind would sign a 13,000 dollar loan for a black belt, from a school, that’s been black balled by its own federation. They take advantage of peoples willingness to better themselves and hide the details in their fast talking and red markings. Save yourself the hassle and go to a school that you are paying directly. Also, after getting my terms, I noticed it read, the school had no control over the payments, but on the day I quit, Matt O’halleran, doesn’t deserve the name Master, he was telling me he could lower my monthly payments. Funny.... this place has admitted tax fraud and they’re taking advantage of people. SAVE YOURSELF AND NEVER GO HERE!!!!!!!!

My grandaughter loves going and never complains. We had her in dance and gymnastics and she never wanted to go back. With karate she looks forward to it. We have been going for a year now and just cant say enough about it.. The instructors are all fabulous and work well with the students.Thank you Seos Academy!

My daughter has been in such great care of the Seo’s martial arts staff. All the teachers are amazing, caring, and patient with the students. She is only 4 and I’m super excited for her to get her black belt. 😄

Its a great school, Ive been going personally for almost 6 years, maybe even more. If you go to class, learn your curriculum, and respect the people there and their rules, then it is 100% worth the cost (which is fairly cheap compared to alot of other sports)

My family and I have trained here for 2 years and are committed to stay to earn our black belts and then on to third degree. Fantastic leadership, great training, and family atmosphere in a beautiful facility. They have implemented so many covid safety procedures that we have no concerns training. This program has done wonders for each of us as individuals and as a family; so grateful we found Seos Martial Arts Academy!

My granddaughter starts tomorrow, however, our initial orientation experience topped the charts! Master Ohalloran took about 20 minutes to teach my 6 year old granddaughter a few things that she would be learning. Now if thats not dedication and compassion, I dont know what is. My granddaughters anxieties were calmed. Shes extremely excited to start tomorrow. Im completely confident that we made the best choice.

My daughter chose Seos herself and thats no small matter. Of all the activities shes tried, this is the first she Committed to. I am impressed by the large-scale operation that is well structured and run smoothly, and the respectful environment. It is a joy to watch my daughter strive and thrive at Seos. (and the new koi fish is beautiful)

We joined Seos almost 18 years ago when our kids were 5 and 6 and trained there for over two years, we were very satisfied and sad to leave the school due to some life changes. A few years ago our youngest son wanted to try martial arts, and because we had moved, we tried 3 different schools closer to our home. None of them measured up, so eventually, we re-joined Seos. This martial arts school is head and shoulders above the rest with quality instructors, facilities, and a great curriculum. Your family will learn life skills along with the physical aspect of martial arts. Seos gets my highest recommendation, they are second to none.

Review №16

Our daughter has been training 3 times a week at Seos for 4 months and she absolutely loves it! We always feel genuinely welcomed when we walk through the doors. The school teaches with emphasis on core values such as positive self esteem, self awareness and self discipline. The amazing benefits of this school are easily seen when observing the higher belts that have been training here for a long while. Being new to martial arts, there was a bit of sticker shock when it came to pricing. However, after looking around at other programs, we believe they are very fair and are truly committed to teaching and helping to bring out the very best in our child (both on and off the mat).

Review №18

Great For Exercise, Discipline and Positive Learning. My son has ADHD and he has been able to be successful with the help of the instructors. You are required to attend a min of 2 times a week but this is to help with routines and learning. My son is proud of his accomplishments. The staff continues to reinforce positive behavior at the school and at home. We have been attending for over 3 years now.

Review №19

Definitely a rip off! They dont work with you at all. $300 a month for a 3 year who does not want to go to karate and crys and thinks karate is a punishment. Have repeatedly called to get this worked out, have not received 1 call in return. Getting charged left and right for random dues and fees. Its march and have been charged around $1000 so far this year and have not been once. Bad business!

This school teaches good respect and good discipline, which is something this world is lacking. Not only are the martial arts people a part of the school and community but they are a second family. So if you are looking for a place where you not only learn forms, self defense, to spar, you can also learn weapons and board breaking. The communication is not great at all and its pricey, but the opportunities and experiences are long lasting.

I like Seos because my son loves the instructors, and he has friends here. The curriculum is at a faster pace than our prior school, I think it keeps him engaged more for a longer period of time. I also like the fact that they are very personable here.

Grandmaster Joe Seo is an amazing and inspirational leader. He is a great role model for his students and staff. He is constantly training to improve his skills as a teacher. It is not often to see a person of his caliber always training so hard. His beautiful 20,000 sq ft school speak for itself. It is one of the most impressive martial art schools in the country. No martial art teacher in this country has invested the type of money it takes to have a facility like that. But more importantly you can see the high caliber of martial arts that is trained on their mat. More impressive is the discipline and confidence you see in each one of their students. Check it out for yourself and see why this place is considered one of the best places to train in the United States! I am a martial art teacher myself and consider myself lucky I get to train and be at this school. People in Denver are luckier to have the school so accessible to them.

I love that Seos gives my daughter a place to make new friends and train in an art that she loves. It is definitely a commitment that you need to be serious about. I would enroll my daughter again in a heartbeat if given the chance. Grand Master Seo and everyone there have always made us feel like part of their family! Heres to many more years there!

Review №29

My son was there for the buddy period. I was given a coupon for a “free” month. When I went to sign him up for the free month I was told I would need to pay 200 enrollment just to start and then two weeks later pay the monthly 209. I was never told I was signing a contract that obligated me to pay or keep him in. My son is 3 barely. The classes are oversized and the instructors don’t have time/ability to watch and train 5-6 young kids when there is only one of them. Now I hope they have the decency to realize that they should refund my car payment money. Btw what are the hours because grand master whoever will never return my phone calls.

Amazing place. I have been involved since I was 5 years old and cant say enough about this place. I love Seos. If money is the issue speak to the instructors at the school and they will help you through.

Review №31

After requesting information for classes this place texted me 3 weeks later at 11pm at night!!! They blew up my phone with text messages without asking my permission to text me. THIS IS ILLEGAL!!!! I have been the victor of a lawsuit against a company for this exact thing!!! It is illegal to text me without my consent and to do it at 11pm at night is highly unprofessional. I will be looking into a lawyer, and anyone who experienced the same thing is entitled to some of the settlement.Do not give your money to these people!!

Review №37

This is a black belt mill. If you want your child to get a black belt as fast as possible with little to no skills learned than this is the place to choose. The school is shady and doesnt even compete against other martial art schools, because its not allowed to within the moo duk kwan federation. To top it all off they recently plead guilty to tax fraud. Dont get scammed by this place.

Review №39

Weve done a two weeks trial period. We liked the place and most of all our 4 years old son loved it. After two weeks we had a conversation about joining. It cost $209 a month. We cannot justify for 4 years old. Now we have a kid who wants to go to karate and problem to explain it to him that it costs too much. Would be nice to know it ahead. Good selling strategy, didnt work for us and left us with crying kid and bitter taste in the mouth

Review №42

It is sad that Im changing my opinion of Seos, however it has come to light that it is okay for the instructors to be disrespectful to parents and the kids that go there as long as it is not on the MAT.. This has been going on for awhile and after giving Matthew OHallaran a few chances to correct this problem, my son and I were told that he has to stick up for the instructors instead of the students and the parents. Sad when this is supposed to be a place based on respect. He was most concerned with my son just coming to class. Let me say this you as a student/parent can not be disrespectful but they can be. #lostallrespect

Close to $400 a month for 2 kids(Please note a minimum 6 month contract is needed but they push for a year). Uh I think not. Master OHollerin(Not sure of the spelling) is just a sales person for the facility., and he is very good at it. Just too bad when he gets any push back he gets defensive. By the way, your 3 weeks of training did not teach my kids to behave in your lobby and to say Yes Sir/YesMam. We have worked on that for the past 7 years. Nice try on taking credit though. There are much better programs and more affordable programs within 5 miles of this facility. Make this your last resort. He did have some very good teachers which is why we considered the facility(And gave it 2 stars) but neither my wife nor I ever got a good vibe from him. We felt like we were being hounded by a car sales or vacuum sales person. If your facility was great you wouldnt need a sales person as the manager. Something to ponder Master Seo.
