Great place. Enrolled my daughter and this has easily became the highlight of my week. My daughter is adhd and has a hard time focusing the guys there have worked with her tirelessly. Not a week goes by I dont see a improvement. Friendly, hands on, and professional.

I took a self defense class at Championship Martial Arts with some friends at work and it was incredible! I learned a lot of helpful techniques to practice at home and I appreciate the emphasis on fundamentals and proper technique. Highly recommend.

My company sponsored a womens self defense class at Championship Martial Arts and it was amazing! Sensei Todd was fun, relatable, and very knowledgable. I hope we get the chance to go again!

My son has been attending for almost eight years now. Our experience has been awesome because it’s been a FAMILY experience! As a family we have encouraged, supported, practiced and worked, cheered and cried with him as we watched him grow from a super hyper, passionate but wreckless and indisciplined young kids to a SUPER HYPER, DISCIPLINED, FOCUSED, STRONG, THOUGHTFUL AND COMMITTED 1ST DEGREE JUNIOR BLACKBELT!!! The leadership is awesome and Sensei Todd and his family are like family to us!!! We love it!!!❤️🥷🏾

Weve been taking our son here for nearly 2 years and he loves it! Its so great to see the same faces month after month, you can tell the staff/instructors are truly invested in each childs success. The curriculum is varied throughout the week so there are plenty of opportunities for him to go which makes the price considerably more reasonable. Working with Nicole and interacting with Sensei Todd truly makes it feel like a family. Were grateful to be apart of such a wonderful group of people.

I signed my son up and he has had a blast with it, especially bo staff training. He helped me get the courage to sign up myself which has been the best decision I have made in a long time. Its a fantastic learning environment for ALL ages.

Excellent facility. My son has learned so much and gained a ton of confidence!

Going into our 3rd year, my daughter has gained so much knowledge physically and mentally. Happy CMA is apart of such an important part of her life! Looking forward to many more great years of this family!

I really liked this place at first. the price was a bit high but i signed up anyway. within 6 months, price of graduating had more than doubled from $20 to $50 a pop and that was like every other month on top of monthly fee, as well as the constant need to buy more and more equipment that was never specified when first signing up .. i had to stop because i couldnt afford it after a while .. i was already paying $135 monthly for my kid to go .. i think the curriculum is good but it is quite pricey and they lock you into a contract so be aware of that before you join.

We took the Women’s Self Defense class, which was a very informative and empowering course. Sensei Todd is a great instructor - After covering the basics, he checked in with us and made sure to cover all of our specific scenario questions. I definitely recommend this course!

My daughter joined when she was 6 years old. We had previously gone to premier for martial arts. CMA was so much better from day 1. On day 1, my daughter was incredibly shy (not normal) with being in a new place. Sensei Todd took her by the hand and made it so easy for her to be involved. From that day, my daughter cant wait to go to class. While she still struggles with talking too much, she LOVES the class and what she is learning. So much that we were waiting in line at Epcot and my daughter decided to randomly practice her block set. I am looking forward to her ongoing development over the next few years!!!! ***Update*** A year later, my daughter LOVES going to her karate classes! She has learned so much which not only she applies in class, but also at school and at home. Master Todd, his entire staff, and especially Ms. Nicole have been incredible with helping develop my daughter while answering all my questions. Even before our year was up, we signed up for another year and cant wait to see our daughter grow over the next year. THANK YOU CMA!

I shared this sentiment with the owner today at the yearly sale but wanted to post it in detail here at the risk of seeming redundant, considering I personally signed up for the classes after seeing the great reviews on google. This place has done an amazing job of bringing together people from all walks of life and the general Omaha area. The community is fantastic. I am in my late 20s and was nervous about joining - thinking that it may be more geared towards children. A few months later, I have made friends through the classes, and each class has dozens of adults from all age brackets and physical ability. Everyone is kind and sociable and willing to help, and there is never any judgment - everyone just wants you to do the best that you can do. The instructors and helpers at the school are fantastic - patient, friendly, but firm and clear in their instruction. I can see that the children extract a great deal of confidence, sense of respect and responsibility, and discipline from the classes. Sensei also imparts plenty of knowledge surrounding the culture and history of karate, so you really feel immersed in the craft. Finally, and most importantly, it is a great workout! I always look forward to going, even after a long day at work, because I know I am doing something great for my body. It is overall a fantastic experience and I encourage anyone who is considering joining, to give it a shot.

They have wonderful staff and fellow students. I have tremendously enjoyed my time with everyone at this dojo and highly recommend it for all ages. They treat each person with upmost respect and courtesy. They concentrate on core values with the students ( respect for themselves and others, confidence, self control, and exersize). Please come and check it out and start your karate joryney with us.

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with our family membership. I’ve seen the improvements in focus and determination that comes from martial arts training in my kids, and the bonus of our membership allowing us to train along side them makes it a very positive experience for our family.There have been several changes to style and curriculum during our time here as Master Todd evolves his business and his own training, but he and the staff have been consistent in explaining the changes and reasons behind them. I believe that those decisions have been made with the best interest of his students in mind.We especially enjoy the family atmosphere and have made several friends of both students and staff, and look forward to continuing our black belt journey here.

I cant say enough good things about Midwest Tae Kwon Do. The instructors are nice and super helpful. They recognize if a student needs a little more attention and helps them out as needed. They have taught my girls discipline, responsibility, focus just to say a few things. It was one of my best decisions to put them in Tae Kwon Do.

Our 12 and 6 yr old have been attending for almost 2 years and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Not only do they teach the art of Karate, they also include life lessons in their teachings. From respect to ‘common sense before self defense’ to what empathy means. The instructors are here for the kids!

As a mother of two sons who go to Midwest Tae Kwon Do, I have nothing but positive things to say. I have a son who is six that is in the Little Dragons program who absolutely loves his sport. I have seen such positive changes in his ability to focus, show respect, and just an over improvement in self confidence. My older son is almost 10 years old and he is in the Intermediate I program. He also loves Midwest Tae Kwon Do. Both my boys also participate in weapons classes and sparring. I enjoy watching them learn new forms and master new techniques. Not only are Master Todd and Mrs. Todd such kind encouraging instructors so are all the other instructors. We researched and visited other martial arts schools over a year ago when we were beginning this journey and I was so impressed with the organization and family atmosphere here at Midwest Tae Kwon Do. Thank you to all the staff and instructors for being a part of our extended family. We are so glad to be a member at the best school in Omaha!Danielle W.

A place for giving children respect, encouragement and lots of fun! The kids learn so much and have fun doing it. We had trouble getting our grandson interested in outside activities. He loves going to the Dojo and works hard to earn the next level belt.

This school has a very skilled and experienced head instructor, as well as the assisting instructors, who are all very patient and very good at what they do. And there are a great bunch of students, too! Highly recommended!

To have been attending with my children for less than a year it definitely feels like family. The instructors are phenomenal and they push you to push yourself. Sensei Todd teaches us to learn at our own pace which really helps me cause I like learning new things all the time. Great environment especially for the children as well!

My kids just had a great birthday party at Midwest Tae Kwon Do. All the kids stayed busy and active with obstacle courses, bo staffs, basic Tae Kwon Do moves, and Sumo balance/strength competitions. Its great to have instructors with such patience. Also, to be perfectly honest, its just great to have a place that doesnt mind kids being loud and running around. ☺

Master Todd and all the staff are great! They provide a family atmosphere and teach so much more than just karate. They give the members and their families valuable life lessons and tools to make us successful in everything we do.

Master Tommy Todd and his dedicated Black belt instructors are the best in the area. My children have grown so much in their overall discipline since starting here and I could not be happier. They are not just teaching Martial Arts they are teaching life skills that stick for everyday life. We feel like family when we are there and that is something you can not find everywhere. Thank You you for the amazing teachings from the Genwright family! OSS!

Great place especially for kids to start out in martial art, training them with necessary physical and mental readiness skills. Staff are great, courteous and friendly. I currently have two boys (7 & 3 yrs) and they love it!

Master Todd and all the teachers are the greatest!. Nicole is a Awesome company Manager and they make sure all your needs are taken care of. I cant wait for my son to be as well trained as Master T and those who follow!

My 7-year-old daughter has been taking classes here for about a year now. She loves this academy so much that she wanted to celebrate her birthday party there. Master Todd and his associates put on the best party a girl can have, complete with an obstacle course for her 20 friends, lessons, board breaking, and cutting a cake with a proper ninja sword. That same evening I had several parents inquire about classes because their children were so impressed! Thank you, Midwest Taekwondo!

I truly like the atmosphere and instructors. They take the time to show your child the proper techniques so your child doesnt injure themselves. I recommend using this facility if your looking for a class that supports your child/children.

My daughter has attended for 1 year, and enjoys coming every time. The flexibility in classes she’s able to attend is great, and staff are able to keep kids highly engaged. Highly recommended.

My son started here almost a year ago, he was a shy quite kid. Master Todd and the other trainers have helped him come out of his shell and really helped him with his concentration on learning Karate and his school work. Master Todd, Ms. Nicole and the rest of the trainers are great with kids and really do care about how they are progressing in their training.

When me and my family decided to begin training at the dojo I expected to just come learn and get a little bit of exercise. To my amazement the experience has been much more than this, the professionalism of all the staff, family atmosphere and passion shown for the success of every student is off the charts. Come check it you won’t be disappointed!!!!

Our son Mikey P. has been in karate for almost 2 years. He enjoys karate very much and respects all the staff. Staff is very respectful and helpful and is willing to work with you. thanks for everything. Andy and Alisha

We love Midwest Tae Kwon Do!! We joined in order to help one of our kids conquer performance anxiety. Their discipline, patience, and focus helped us reach our goal. We have now been with MTKD for 3 years and are so happy to be a part of the family!! ❤️

Midwest Taekwondo (now CMA) has been a great experience for both of our boys; from learning self-discipline and focus to learning the extent of their physical capabilities.The staff has always been professional and pleasant to work with. The instructors are all very well-trained and eager to work with the kids to help them advance.

This place does an EXCEPTIONALLY good job with students. If you are looking for an authentic yet fun experience and a family atmosphere then look no further!

As a student the instructors are wonderful to work with. They are very patient yet the strive to make you better. It is a family environment.

Great martial arts school my son loves coming and learning new life skills. Highly recommended!

I dont know much about what makes a good martial arts school but I like what I see here. Master Todd is firm but fair and easily gains the respect of his students. I have observed enthusiasm, hard work and respect from students and instructors alike. The class size gets a little big at times, but they do try to adjust schedules as needed. I like Midwest Taekwando and would recommend to anyone.

Our daughter, Sydney, has been at CMA since she was 6 in little dragons. From day 1 the staff has been amazing! Almost 2 years later, Syd looks forward to her classes and always wants to practice with dad. She loves learning about weapons, BJJ and even enjoys sparring. Her confidence is always high and it shows. She has progressed from little dragons to juniors to black belt club to Masters club and maybe one day hyper pro training. She is about to have her 2nd birthday party and her second advancement camp to focus on what she needs to learn. If you have a young one thinking about CMA, the best story I can tell you is as we were waiting in line at Epcot one year, Syd just decided to practice in front of everyone! Oh yeah, she got a round of applause too :) If we could give CMA a 10, we would give them a 15! Thank you Sensei Todd and team! A special thank you to Miss Nicole for everything you do!

Great karate training experience and environment. Wonder staff backed by a great teacher and leader in Mr. Todd

We have been with the mtkd family for almost 3 years and love it! Both my girls have grown so much and I love the environment and staff!

Awesome place with amazing teachers!My son has grown so much in the last 2 years because of this place.

Rebranded as CMA Omaha but same fun & discipline. Nieces come here and have improved a lot in focus, discipline, strength.

We have all 3 of our kids with MTKD (now CMA), and we are extremely happy with it. The teachers are great, and the curriculum is age-appropriate.

Our family became part of the CMA Omaha family a year ago and we have loved it! The dojo is a family and the instructors care about their students’ physical and character journey. They continually strive to find ways to reach each student. Thank you, CMA Omaha!

I have never done business with a more uncaring, uncompassionate person. He will act as if he is concerned about your child but all he wants is your money. He will try to talk you into upgrading your contract. Believe me, he can convince everyone that their child is the best. He is a salesman. DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THIS MAN. He is in this business to fund all of his flashy cars and flashy jewelry. It was the worst decision I have ever made in my life to put my child in his classes.

Great place! Great instructors! Great students! Would definitely recommend to anyone!!!

I cannot say enough about Midwest Tae Kwon Do. The instructors and amazing office staff are kind and patient, with just enough firmness mixed in to instill respect from their students. My 7 and 3 year old are both taking classes there and they both love it! They have fun, get some exercise, and learn discipline all at once. We had my daughters 7th birthday party this week and every kid had a blast! We LOVE Master Todd, Nicole, Mrs Belz, Mr Barr and all the other folks who make the Midwest TKD team so special!

Sensei Todd (along with his staff and instructors) works tirelessly to instill the concepts (Dojo Kun) of Shotokan karate in his students, more than just kick/punch.Character; Loyalty; Effort; Etiquette; Control.You cant go wrong with enrolling in the CMA school if you are looking to have your child learn positive life lessons.

Great instruction , a sincere hands on approach to helping you grow

I love midwest Taekwondo it has taught my daughter so much the past year and couldnt ask for such a great staff

This is a wonderful place !! Both of my granddaughters attend !! The staff are so fantastic 😊!!!highly recommended for for the whole family !!

I will clarify my comments here - I am a student and instructor at this school That being said, I recently visited and reviewed a number of Martial Arts schools here in Omaha. My martial arts journey only began 3 years ago, so I dont have a series of friends and acquaintances leading me to this school. In fact, I met Master Thomas Todd at a birthday party.But here is what I can tell you. The martial arts instruction is excellent. I was 46 years old, out of shape and not athletic to begin with. Their program for adults managed to condition me to be able to perform Tae Kwon Do and perform at a high level - to the point where I have several tournament trophies and a trip to Nationals.The program for the kids however is where this dojang shines (yes, Dojo would be the Japanese term, we are a Korean martial art). I know from my experience as a student, an assistant and now an instructor that this school really cares about getting your child, the benefits that you want your child to have.Their introduction session focuses on the portions of martial arts that you need. If your child has attention issues, bullying issues, self confidence issues, fitness issues - whatever - the instructors in this school make it a clear goal to help your child maximize those benefits which are more important to their development.Martial arts based on tradition. And comments about a lack of written materials reflect that to further tradition, most of the curriculum is handed down orally. I will acknowledge that the schools services could use more published information - but that is why I am contributing this review today, I want people to understand we are constantly evaluating the school and the program to meet consumer needs. Its not a static environment, it is a thriving dynamic place.Whether your goals are fitness, self-improvement, competition, or the artistic aspects of Tae Kwon Do - you will not find a program in Omaha that works as hard to benefit its students. Martial arts is not for everyone and everyones journey to black belt is different - but this school will get the most out of your child and wont crush their spirit doing it.In my opinion, we have a good facility, we have good instructors, we have competitive pricing and excellent introductory programs. There might be other schools in town that would work for you, but you should definitely give MWTKD a try before you make a long term comittment elsewhere.

Lost 14 paid months of our family membership but I was very unhappy with everything that was happening in this place. He didnt let me sell my paid months or get at least some of the money back. Other people and I felt that this place was all about money. Sucks bc this is something I wanted to do since I was a kid.

Great place to train kids and adults

Great for kids to be apart of

Instructors are wonderful!!!!
