Testimonials
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. Matt!”
Martha Martin
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. It has been a great addition to our stay-at-home schedule and has allowed him to maintain his health and well-being.”
Ashley Christian
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! Thank you!”
Melinda Johnson
EMA has done a wonderful job adjusting to the new norm offering many options for exercise, training, and feedback. 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. The options, opportunities, and feedback for tip check are great. People learn in different ways, at different paces, and the varied platforms for training are tailored for all types. Master Jon's detailed feedback for training and tip check in both email and live were very helpful and makes us confident that tips and belts were earned and not just "handed out". We have friends who take at other TKD school and they offered online training, but zero options for advancement. 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. Our family will forever be loyal to EMA.

While 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! The feedback she has received was very constructive and helpful and she makes sure not to miss a class.

In a very challenging situation, EMA figures out how to deliver quality instruction using all channels available. 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. Well done, EMA! And thank you.

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. EMA's transition to live small group sessions really impressed me.
