My son (6) loves coming for classes here. Master Joon is great. The instructors are top notch and have helped my son, a beginner, have more confidence in himself. Highly recommend!

My daughter has really been enjoying herself and she looks forward to coming each week. Master Joon and Instructor McKay challenge the students while still making the classes fun. They not only learn the martial arts techniques but also working together, cleaning up, confidence and more. Such a great experience for my daughter.

My kid loves it here! The Masters are outstanding! They have a quietly strong authority, bring unbelievable energy to each class and are warm and encouraging to the kids. I watch in awe as my child is nurtured and incentivized to work hard, keep focused and reach for new heights. And there’s no better feeling than witnessing your child’s confidence and ambition soar when they achieve a new skill that once seemed out of their reach.

My daughter goes here and she loves it! She is able to learn self discipline as well as learn new moves that help her stay fit. If you are interested in a karate place for yourself or your child I would definately recomend Supreme Martial Arts.

Master Joon and his instructors are all very professional and patient with each student. They help each student meet their goals. I personally love the discipline they require of my child and the push they give him. Since he’s started with Supreme he’s come out of his shell thanks to the confidence they inspire him to have. I truly and whole heartedly recommend Supreme Martial Arts - Upper West Side

Our girls (5&8) currently attend classes at Supreme. To say that we are satisfied is an understatement. The girls are eager to attend every session and look forward to earning the promotions/rewards. The space is kept clean and well organized while utilizing adequate social distancing norms. The instructors are dedicated and talented on top of being super friendly, and always go the extra mile to get their message across. I have seen my kids improve their physicality as well as concentration and discipline over a short span and I have to credit Supreme.

I have been attending the kickboxing class at Supreme since November last year and I could not be happier. Its exactly what I need after a long day at work. The masters are very professional, always come up with new exercises and take into account participants different levels of experience. It can be challenging at times but its never too difficult and always fun.

We are so glad we found Supreme! It’s amazing to see our active 5-year old being so eager to go to his Taekwondo classes every week!The place is kept very clean. The classes are very well structured, challenging and engaging and we can see how our son’s concentration and technique have improved in only few months! Master Joon and all other instructors are fantastic with the kids: they know how to motivate them helping them getting more confident while being so respectful and friendly. The best role models for our kids. We’re excited our son will spend some extra time with them for summer camp as well!

My son, Devin has been taking Taekwondo at Supreme Martial Arts Upper West for nearly three years now. Its a great Martial arts school that teaches discipline, honor, respect and all the values young children need. The Masters are amazing with the kids! They turn the training, which can be rigorous, into fun activities. My son had grown so much going to Supreme Martial Arts. Thank you Master Kim, Master Joon, Master Mustafa and all the Masters!!! You are all amazing!From The Serrano Family

Sending my 5 year old son here was such a great decision. I was a little worried at first because my son is super hyper and has issues focusing, but everything worked out and he loves it! Not only is it super clean, but Master Jun is so amazing with the little dragons. He’s so patient with them and teaches the little dragons how to have confidence and respect. Not only is my son learning that, but he’s also starting to focus and follow directions a lot more. He loves going and the parents are super friendly! Great place!

We love the Taekwondo classes but do not like the constant change of schedules every month, you should keep all classes at least for 3 months. The rest classes are amazing and teachers very engaging with kids

My 3yr old son has been a member since October of 2020. Taekwondo services my sons level of activity and interest in physicality. We also wanted him to learn foundational skills in self-defense. This business, specifically at upper westside location, has been a great experience for my son. The Master for the 3-5yr old age range is great. He is very relatable, silly, but also, serious when its time to focus and execute drills. I appreciate that the children arent given rewards, when they dont earn them. I also like that there are daily as well as long term incentives that this age range can grasp in understanding. I am also happy that they have increased the ratio between children and Masters. Annd that they mix indoor and outdoor classes.

Let me tell you few things about this place.A year ago, our daughter (6yr) was very shy and maybe even lacking confidence a bit. So we have asked around and ware highly recommended Supreme Martial arts.Fast forward 1 year and we’ve got a 7yr old that is very confident and brave and balanced in her interactions with peers.Let me add how great Supreme has done with remote classes during lockdown and beyond.Supreme was only class we chose to keep during this summer and we as a parents very much appreciated their involvement with challenges tied to remote learning.We can easily say that they came on top during hardships associated with isolation during these crazy times.Now 7 years young daughter is Green belt in anticipation of all other colors to come.Thank you Supreme Martial Arts!-Parent

Supreme provide the highest quality instructors possible. If you have any doubt, just check their bios. They are also incredibly polite and helpful to me and the family. The site is immaculately clean and tidy and they follow strict COVID guidelines. The price may feel high, but it offers good value given the flexibility of packages, class times and excellent tuition in both Taekwondo and life skills

I cannot say enough good things about Supreme Martial Arts. My daughter has been taking TaeKwonDo here for the past 3 years. The instructors are so wonderful. They take so much pride in their work and teaching the children. The kids learn but they also have fun and great get exercise. During Covid, they have done a fantastic job of coming up with creative ways to teach the children whether it be online lessons or lessons in Central Park. They are setting an amazing example.

The team of the Supreme MA (UWS) is beyond friendly and extremely professional. I feel like I’m improving my technique everyday. The studio is also super clean and follows all the safety manners. 10/10 recommendation!

Review №41

Theres an amazing dedication from the instructors here. It never feels routine or repetitive; theres always some new nuance to learn. Theyre always patient, encouraging, positive. They also create a true sense of community among a group of students from very diverse backgrounds. People of absolutely all ages and levels of fitness train here and there is something for everybody. Its a great workout and a great stress reliever; for an hour you are so focused on the training and on getting your technique exactly right that you have no mental space to think about whatever frustrations you had to deal with during the day. If you hate dragging yourself to the gym, this is a great way to get fitter while learning a useful skill, gaining in confidence and shaking yourself out of your routine.

Can’t say enough good things about this place! The instructors are amazing and they really care about the students. I love that the student:instructor ratio is kept low and they make sure each student gets individualized attention. I’ve seen tremendous difference in my kids’ confidence ever since they started classes here. The head master is also truly dedicated and very supportive. My kids love coming here and they learn not just taekwondo, but also respect and perseverance. Overall awesome school!

After visiting three other martial arts studios nearby for my 4.5 year old son, we walked into Taekwondo and my son loved it. The masters are wonderful with the children and after being persuaded to join in the adult class I was impressed by their immense patience with all of their students.I would recommend here to any family and encourage families to take the opportunity to join together.

Review №51

My 4-year-old son started the Little Dragon program in December 2017. He is relatively shy and lacks confidence around people he doesnt know well. The first couple of weeks he was hesitant to participate so we allowed him to watch.The staff was supportive and friendly during this period and continued to encourage him. Finally, he was ready to participate and he just jumped right in. It was noticeable how with each class his self-confidence increased and he was having fun.Credit to Master Kim for his patience and exceptional ability to engage the younger kids in martial arts. My son loves attending his classes now and I can tell he has a real sense of pride and accomplishment. Instructors are very friendly and has been extremely proactive to ensure all our questions were answered and needs were met.I highly recommend Supreme Martial Arts and I really mean it.

Review №52

Definitely the best Martial Arts school!I had almost no Martial Arts experience when I signed up (I did Judo back in Germany when I was 5 years old). Its been almost 4 months now and I feel like I already learned a lot!Master does a incredible job teaching and he is very patient. He has the perfect mixture of motivating and pushing you to your limits, and being patient and understanding.So if youre thinking about starting martial arts, I can highly recommend to go to a trial class. It definitely doesnt matter how old you are, how much experience you have or how fit you are. If you take classes here you wont just learn awesome martial arts skills, you will also feel healthier and you will definitely get a second family :)

My daughter has been training at Supreme for over 5 years and I cant say enough about this school. Theyre dedication to their students and their craft is amazing. My daughters self esteem and confidence has helped her in school and on the soccer field. There have been times when she has struggled and her instructors took notice and gave her the attention that she needed to succeed.I myself just started the adult kickboxing class and I absolutely love it! The workout is amazing and you leave feeling energized and happy! There are plenty of places to take kickboxing but this is the only place for me. You are training with the best!I absolutely love the staff and everything they have done for my daughter and now me!World Class all the way!!!!

Review №54

A great place to learn martial art for kids and to achieve self-confidence, focus and concentration along with discipline.They know how to treat and talk to kids.My kid sometimes does not listen at all since he is very stubborn but one of the Master took extra 30mins of his time to talk to him to fix his behavior.He was very busy but he took everything aside to make my kid understand why he must self control.Im not a person who leave a review To any places but i had to leave a great review today because there are many teachers like that and people does not know that unless somebody like me speak out.I would love to refer their services and hard work.

Over the span of few months from April 1, 2018 to October 7, 2018 the following is what I observed at this martial arts school:1. On a VERY POSITIVE note, the instructor-owner, Master Kim, engages the youngest students 3 years old and up exceptionally well. He is great at keeping the children mindful of their self-control. Master Gabriel uses all the positive words to all the children which i love to hear that also.2. Exercises are done either with no targets (air strikes) or with target paddles that make a nice loud popping sound when struck properly. They use some kind of x-ray papers. However, the large kicking shields are virtually NOT used that much. Sometimes the paddles makes so much noise and it kinda bothers you to watch.3. They Yell and scream a lot. I think its good because my kids cant yell and scream anywhere. Im sure kids want to express themselves sometimes. Even i want to join just to scream and yell and hit things so i can think of my boss and revenge him on the paddle.4. The place is very clean and safe. I heard they are having renovation soon. Even Better for me.CONCLUSION:The Little Tigers program is a GREAT VALUE.My kid love it. I guess for now. But i will keep him until he gets a black belt because this is very different than other kind of activities.All the instructors really knows her stuff on how to engage 3-4 year olds. forms, basics (blocks, strikes, kicks), and street self defense portion of his curriculum is indeed WELL ORGANIZED in stages for the belt-rank progressions.

Taekwondo has helped me to form myself into a better person all round. I have been a student at Supreme for about 2 years now and I couldnt be happier here, its a place of bonding and where we all become one family. Also my brother is autistic and has been in taekwondo for 7 years and loves it. They are great with working with special needs kids and it is shown in their work... I love it and i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world

Supreme Taekwondo has been such a wonderful addition to out lives. I have strong-willed & smart children (dont we all?!). Mine are boys and these classes have built the principals of confidence ans self respect that act as cornerstones to proud and proper behavior in all aspects of their lives. My kids arent perfect, but they are lovely himans, in part thanks to these studios. Tkd instructors instill self control and respect for those in class wnd all around us - my boys 4&6yrs are super proud of who they are. When we started I felt like they were searching for morals and values outside of what I was teaching and these courses gave them such healthy personal goals. Plus physical strength and body control. Instructors lead by example. Ive heard other patents mention “too firm” but, for us, and i teuly believe for most...its a gentle and expected firmness of respect that is both given and expected and the consistency and structure that really works to help mold our wonderful little people. Kids know exactly what to expect when they walk in and it lays groundwork for their lives iutside of class. Im so pleased. On top of all that its a sport for the self, not a direct competition, their practices are their own. They do what they do for themselves and not to please their parents. Self driven is HUGE. I highly reccomend this specific studio because they genuinely care and this practice because its a lifelong healthy mentality. We go 1x a week. My kids are diff levels.

I came to check out this center right when they opened up, and ever since day one every single instructor/member of the staff has been so warm and welcoming. Ive been here for about five months now, and day after day I leave the gym feeling great! Youll always be surrounded by people who are looking to learn and grow, as well as instructors who are looking to help you get to where you want to be.The facility is solid, in terms of the mat space (they made great use of the space that was there when bell sports plaza was around) and in terms of other equipment for the muay thai and taekwondo classes (pads/heavy bags/etc). LId highly recommend you call the gym and check it out, do a walk through/take an intro class.
