We just started lessons here and are very impressed with the professionalism and patience that the instructors and staff bring to the table.Our boy was a bit nervous to start and they worked with him to come out of his shell. They have a great system to let each kiddo learn at their own pace and do not get frustrated when results don’t come immediately.I definitely recommend WCMA based off our our initial impression!

Good training and nice center, the only thing is that they don’t have short term contract , you have to sign at least 8 months or two years contract, it will be more reasonable if they offer like three months contract.

My son really loves taekwondo, he was distracted and excited in class, yeah he is four years old and he really try to be focus but well, maybe we need to wait until he turns 5. The problem was he ending crying the last 4 classes. Teacher means motivation but for some of the teachers here is not the case. Also we stop going months ago and they are still charging my account $150 per month for nothing.

If I could advise anyone in a program this would be it. Quality and professionalism at its best. Covid safety is highest priority. Improvement in children performance is night and day over the last few months.

My 6 year old has been attending the Tiny Tiger’s program for the last two months and has loved it. The instructors are all so nice and welcoming. My son can be extra shy, but the instructors make an effort to get to know each student, and they all seem great at supporting each kid with their needs.The gym is extremely clean. Temperatures are checked whenever you enter the building, and everyone uses hand sanitizer when entering and leaving the building. I love that their mats are clearly marked so the kids can easily stay spaced from each other.The program has been so fun for my little guy, he’s always excited to attend class and all WCMA’s safety measures are a bonus. If you are thinking of trying out WCMA, don’t hesitate!

During this time of COVID-19 I feel that my 2 tiny tigers are safe while learning taekwondo. In addition to being safely distanced, in a clean environment, everyone in the building wears masks. I appreciate the consideration of the health of others.My two tiny tigers have been loving all the variety in class and the reward of stripes on their belts as they perform in class. They are learning life skills of focusing their eyes, minds, and bodies. They are also feeling great accomplishment. My daughter was very scared before breaking her first board when testing for a belt. She often asked others if it hurt. The joy you could see when she split the board in half was precious. And yes you could see the joy even though she wore a mask. All the instructors are very kind ro all the kids and help each one to have success during class.

World class martial arts is an all around wonderful place. The instructors truly enjoy the students and want to see them succeed. Covid-19 has made this year difficult, but WCMA has done everything right to make it work. Accessible zoom classes when gyms were closed and well detailed, consistently executed safety protocols to protect students and families now that they can resume in person class. While so much has changed this year, WCMA has been a joy for my daughter and our family. I appreciate the dedication shown by all of the staff.

Four years ago, we walked in to their new school in Orchards. It wasnt even open yet. We met Master Yun and its been a wonderful experience! The Staff are wonderful, nice, and they go an extra mile for each student. Everyone is very polite and respectful.Our daughter always look forward to coming to her class and its been amazing growth for her physically, mentally, and socially. Thank you so much World Class Martial Arts.❤️

WCMA is an excellent school! They teach kids and adults alike in a respectful and firm manner. The whole class is always engaged and often challenged just enough. My son has become more confident and respectful since starting this program.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this establishment. The staff at World Class Martial Arts are simply that....WORLD CLASS. I have never been so impressed with a youth sports organization and I have 2 boys who have been in sports for 10 years. Every single member of this staff is extremely friendly, inviting, and welcoming EVERY single time you walk through the door. They know every childs name right away. The teachers are so much fun and funny that the kids remain engaged week after week. They offer a free two-week trial that comes with a free uniform too so you can try it risk free. I have been blown away by the exceptional service since day one. I could not recommend them more

WCMA is a top notch facility with great staff and excellent masters. My two girls absolutely love learning from them. They both started out in the tiny tiger program and are continuing their journey all the way through black belt and beyond. The way the masters are able to train and connect with all ages and backgrounds is superior. Friendly, professional and proud to be a part of this school!Stella and Sophia G.

My daughter enjoys taekwondo classes. Over the year she has been attending as a tiny tiger Annabelle is showing an improvement in self esteem. She takes pride in earning awards by attending regular classes. Annabelle has a lot of fun participating in the ninja camps. The masters and instructors do a wonderful job interacting with the kids, keeping it professional while having fun at the same time. Now that we are in the guaranteed black belt club Annabelle participates in events at a reduced price.

My daughter has been a tiny tiger for a month now and is having an amazing experience. The instructors and masters are professional, engaging, and helpful. They teach the students skills in addition to keeping it fun and playful. The sign up process was easy and getting the initial one on one instruction was amazing. My daughter was apprehensive of group class because of the noise, but she soon joined right in with the other students. I also really enjoy the sectioned off area I can watch with my noisy two year old so she didnt have to sit still the while time. Id definitely recommend this company for a first martial arts experience. Thank you WCMA!

There are not enough wonderful words to describe our experience here! The amazing staff, training, individual dedication to each child (and parents too) and accountability required by the students are just some of the reasons why our son enjoys attending. We are grateful that they invest in our son as much as we invest in them. If you are looking for a place to help your child, or even yourself, grow and find strength within themselves then this is your place.

I have been attending classes for 3 years, 2 years with my Mom and it has been a positive and great experience, the staff and masters are very positive and are willing to guide you through every step. The staff and students there are all positive and never once have I been put down and felt like I could not do something. Highly recommend signing up for a unique positive experience + workout and skills.

My two sons have been attending WCMA for approximately 3 1/2 years total. You won’t find a better staff. They are great with the students. Also they have outstanding instructors. It’s a privilege to be under the tutelage of Master Kim, Master Nam and Grand Master Yun.

This facility is a wonderful place to bring your children to learn many things, including courage, self confidence, discipline, and strength among others. My son has learned so much over the last 5 months he has been there! I have watched him grow and have seen him develop his skills over this time. On top of that, the staff are wonderful! They have so much fun with the children and the children love them! I would highly recommend this place.

Wcma martial arts is one of the best decisions I have made for my son. Because despite the fact that this COVID pandemic has been difficult, they have done a great job following all the sanitary measures to keep everyone safe. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Review №27

My sons been at WCMA for two years and he loves it! It has taught him discipline, respect, and confidence. He looks forward to going to class weekly. The Masters who teaches there are very well trained and great with kids.My only issue I have is the class schedule. It is very difficult to get to the early classes scheduled that they have for their tiny tigers and youth classes if you are a full time working parent.

I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about World Class Martial Arts. Our seven-year-old son has been attending classes for the past four months, three to five times a week. The teachers (masters) are not only world class athletes, but also world class people, and amazingly skilled at working with kids. They are teaching our son about respect, responsibility, the importance of setting goals, hard work, and working well with others, and in the meantime, he’s having lots of fun making new friends and learning Taekwondo from men and women who can perform it at the highest level.

This martial art school is amazing! I love how the instructors show time and again that they care about their students! My younger has improved drastically in flexibility and focus! My oldest has improved in confidence and determination.Chief Master Yun has built a fantastic school where there is great structure, good discipline, abd yet fun for the students. I love how the Masters remind and teach the students of basic values like respect, focus, perseverance, goal setting just to name a few. They teach when to use and not use the skills they are learning.I also appreciate how the students are encouraged to participate in competitions as both my kids have been in one competition and now they want to complete in more events at the next competition!I also love how students who are higher levels in belt, come back and help with lower level belts which just proves to me there is a vision this school has that encourages people to help others develop, not just yourself.

Excellent Taekwondo program! Professional instructors (all instructors are graduates from university in South Korea and many represented South Korea at the Olympics), amazing facility, and excellent staff. Both young children and adults will love training at World Class Martial Arts. Our kids started Taekwondo two years ago and will be testing for their Black Belt in October! They are so excited, and we are very proud. They have worked very hard to develop the skills necessary to achieve this goal, but I am most impressed at how they’ve grown as individuals. We love World Class Martial Arts!

My boys (1st degree Black Belts) transferred to WCMA from LEEs Martial Arts in Mississippi, and have been attending classes here for a little over a week. They are both now aware that they have stepped into a more rigorous style of learning, but are in/up for the challenge. I must say as a parent, I enjoy sitting in on each and every practice. Just watching the interaction between the students and their Masters keeps me so engaged, by the time I look up, practice is over. The setting, atmosphere, organization and the staff here have greeted us with open arms and are very welcoming. This in turn makes me and my family feel very welcomed to be a new addition to the team...

I love taekwondo, personally I think its a great way to go and work out and have fun doing it I reccomend you sign your kids up. Each staff member is kind and the masters help each student out to get them higher in taekwondo and respect for good discipline💕🥋

We have been a part of the team for almost six years now, we have gone from white belt tiny tiger to working on a second poom black belt. Over the years the class sizes have increased, as well as the building size, and yet they still maintain a fantastic regiment and manage to give just the right about of individual attention as well as group focused training to keep all of the students busy and engaged. Both of my girls love the training, enjoy the hard work and appreciate the discipline. A huge thanks to all the instructors and masters for their hard work and dedication to the students and the martial art of taekwondo.

Review №35

Our family has gone to countless Taekwondo dojo’s all over the U.S. and Korea (South🤣) The Masters are amazing and not only are very efficient in their methods of training, but we can see the difference in our child’s attitude since they really focus on respect as well. While our child attends, he learns Taekwondo , but he also learns lessons for life which makes him a better person whom respects his elders and is responsible. The rest of the staff is a cut above any other organization in regards to customer service. We are always greeted with a warm smile and greeting from Mrs. Emily. She is always so helpful and sets the tone from the beginning for what is always a positive experience for lessons at the dojo. I recommend this dojo to anyone that wants to put their kids into Taekwondo. All other martial arts studio in the area don’t even come close.

I found this out the hard way, as the following detail was not explained. Be certain you can complete the contract term. Even if you move further than 10 miles away and they agree to release you from the 6 month contract, you will be required to notify the billing department 30 days prior to the next billing date or your payment will be withdrawn from your account, regardless. Had I known ahead of time, my granddaughter could have continued to attend (had I been able to get her to classes) for the extra month I had to pay for. They claim to not be able to make any refunds.Hard to believe!Setting this aside, the Camas team was very good. I was pleased with their service.

Review №37

My family and I have been coming here for a little over 3 years. We absolutely love this school, the Masters, and the staff. Master Nam is wonderful with the kids and always makes the class not only challenging, but fun as well. Master Kim is a great instructor and pushes everyone to do their best. Ms. Melissa does a great job assisting the other Masters as well as running the Poomsae (forms) classes on Wednesdays. My wife, two children, and myself take classes and this is our second home. We moved across the country twice and have been to other Taekwondo studios, but this one is by far the best. The structure follows the Kukkiwon Korean standard. We previously went to another Taekwondo studio in 2016 that used to be in Salmon Creek, but now is in Hazel Dell. There was no structure in that school and it was by far the most expensive. The master/owner there was also very unprofessional. I would recommend thst you avoid that school. The Master/owner of WCMA is very respectful and approachable. It is obvious that he takes pride in his students and his school. If you are thinking of going to another martial arts studio, dont bother. WCMA is the place for you

WCMA is the real deal. The masters work well with kids, setting high standards and expectations while making it fun for the students. They are family-oriented and active in the community.

This place is amazing. My son took some after school classes at his elementary school and really liked it. So we tried it for 6 months. Now he is in the black belt club and a red belt! The instructors are wonderful. They care about teaching the kids and making sure they are learning properly. They also teach kids about having confidence and perserverence. My son has had improved focus and self control. I am very happy with how much he has improved as a student in and out of taekwondo. Thank you!

We were looking for a school that emphasized discipline, self confidence, respect, and goal setting. After some searching we decided on WCMA. Our 2 boys have been here for over 3 years and we dont have a single regret. The atmosphere is one of inclusiveness, and all of the Masters are very highly qualified. They have a way of making the kids really want to succeed. Importantly, the kids really look forward to coming here to train.

I am so happy that we found World Class Tae Kwon Do, my daughter has gained self confidence and trust while enrolled. There are monthly themes that show student how to be best at what you do. The instructors are top notch and really care about their students. So grateful to be a part of the family.

We learned about WCMA through an after school program. Once we saw our son paying attention and holding (sort of) still after only 3 classes, we immediately signed up for the program. The instructors are patient, funny, fair and so loving with my son. Each staff member is kind and professional. I love this place so much - I wish we had found it sooner.

Few months ago, we looked for a place or activity our 4 kids-all girls (12, 9, 5&4). We went to one of the Karate place and tge kid’s didn’t felt welcome. Then we went to WCMA and on the day of inquiry, we enrolled the girls. The masters are nice and friendly. They teach the kids discipline and respect. The teachers know every single kids name. Kids are always excited to go to their training. The little ones always enjoy the training as well. They’re Amazing. I recommend this place to go.

They closed the orchards school we loved for over a year with warmth and a great master and shoved us to another one that was impersonal and crowded. We tried to make it work but It wasnt the same and my daughter went from loving Taekwondo to hating it in just a few months. Its sad cause I really enjoyed it

My family have been a part of the USWCMA family for over three years now and it has been one of the best things weve ever done as a family. Our 8 yr old daughter gets superb instruction that she finds challenging and very rewarding. My wife and I both worked towards and finally received our 1st Degree Black belts, and although the journey at times seemed overwhelming, the sense of pride and accomplishment we both felt when we were awarded our belts by Chief Master Yun is nearly beyond my ability to describe.You will never regret walking through the door of USWCMA and joining such an amazing community of inspiring instructors and wonderful fellow students.

WCMA, Vancouver(WA) is the best Martial arts school. Instructors are very good, they not only teach taekwandoo, but also teach life values(respect elders, confidence, strong, focus). I am and will suggest WCMA to all my friends who are living in Vancouver/Camas area. My final words are “I LOVE WCMA”. Thank you 😊.
