Hoover’s has been so good for our busy 5 year old! He has really enjoyed classes and with practice he has made great progress. I love their word of the month, the life lesson they have each class and the instructors enthusiasm to teach even young ones. They teach so many good life skills as well and the half hour classes are perfect for my son. I highly recommend Hoover’s Martial Arts!

Hoover Martial Arts has been part of our family for many years. My husband had the pleasure of taking lessons as a child in the late 80s. Now our 7 year old is testing for his black belt this summer!This program has taught our son integrity, discipline and self confidence. Our son looks forward to going to class and has made some great friends through the years. I have seen kids as young as 4 and 60+ enjoy and thrive in Taekwondo! Additionally, Larry Hoover does a great talk on Making Great Choices to elementary schools in the area. Through his classes and in this talk he manages to teach an important lesson while keeping kids of all ages engaged! I would recommend this program to everyone!

This place and the instructors are top notch! They care so much about the craft and kids, they want them to have fun but also learn to be decent humans at the same time. What an asset to our community and to help with my parenting village. They also do amazing birthday parties.

Hoovers ATA is great about teaching kids responsibility, self-esteem, and discipline. I love how they work with parents to meet specific goals for each child. My kids love it too!

I am a 1st degree black belt in taekwondo, cheif master hoover has trained me for a little over 3 years as well as the other instructors, they have done such a good job that i would get 4, 1st place medals at nearly every tournament i went to, didnt even matter what age bracket i was in. Cheif master hoover and his instructors use positive correction, precision, as well as teach you discipline. Great place

I have been a regular student and instructor to date since the first day Master Hoover opened his doors in Sioux Falls, SD in 1986. Both of my children have earned up to their 1st and 3rd degree black belts under his direction. Myself and my kids benefited in so many ways...from confidence building, respect, perseverance, kindness, life skills, and so many other attributes....including physical fitness and just a whole lot of fun for kids and adults!

Our daughter started attending Hoovers Martial Arts almost one year ago. During this time we have seen her confidence increase and her grades in school have improved rapidly. Master Hoover, Mr. B and all of the other instructors take a unique approach to teaching the students. They blend learning martial arts, life lessons and personal safety lessons in a fun yet age appropriate manner. Our daughter has made friends in her class as well as started meeting people through the tournaments she has participated in. I would highly recommend this program for kids of all ages as well as adults.

My son began attending Hoovers Martial Arts when he was 4 years old. Even at such a young age he learned so much from Master Hoover and the rest of the staff. The life lessons he has been taught are extremely important and I love watching him apply them everyday. I can see that he truly understands what it means to show respect, have integrity and make good choices.I am so proud of his discipline, confidence and attitude as he makes his way towards earning his 1st degree black belt this summer. I have also had the pleasure of earning my blue belt through the adult program. It is a wonderful program that is perfect for any age!

Our family has been a part of Master Hoovers martial arts program since 1989. His teaching style customizes to fit all ages. Our children and grandchildren joined for the physical work outs. They gained self confidence, self discipline. At the beginning of each class there was typically a 2 minute discussion with the daily messages from peer pressure and choices to respect for parents, teachers and positive attitude.I joined later as a middle aged man with chronic back spasms. 25 years of stretches and workouts kept these at bay!Much respect for Master Hoover, Mr. B and all the staff for the positive influence on our family.

Master Larry Hoover and Mr. Rory B. are superbly skilled martial artists and top-notch instructors. As a 68 year old I recently earned my black belt in taekwondo after 4 years of hard work on my part and excellent, knowledgeable, and patient guidance from these two gentlemen. I cannot imagine being more pleased with my experience. I strongly recommend Hoovers Ata Martial Arts to persons of all ages and both genders.

Weve been going to Hoovers ATA for about four years. Master Hoover and Mr. B are both excellent teachers; their passion for helping all students achieve their best is evident in every lesson. One aspect of the program that we really appreciate is that they have integrated life skills and values into their lessons. It is wonderful to be able to have our own values of integrity, honor, trustworthiness, perseverance and caring reinforced outside of the home. Children need many and varied opportunities to succeed and build confidence - that is exactly what this program provides.

Master Hoover is an exceptional instructor and a genuine human being. I enjoy being around him and the classes he teaches. Everything he does and says is done from the heart. He is a great role model for anyone and will enrich the lives of the people around him and will influence your children to be better people and will instill confidence and integrity. I would highly recommend Hoovers Marital Arts to anyone that is interested in marital arts and life skills.

We initially started our kids at Hoovers to get them into an activity and see if they would like it. I quickly learned that Master Hoover and his staff teach so much more than just the physical parts of martial arts. They teach and encourage many of the morals, values, and responsibilities that will help kids grow into respectable adults. Discipline, accountability, perseverance, attitude, respect, honor, courtesy, ... so much more. I am so glad that we stumbled upon such a great program, having not known about Hoovers before. Wouldnt trade this experience for anything else.

Hoovers is one of the best martial arts programs in the country. All of the instructors really want to see kids reach their potential not only in taekwondo and self defense but in all aspects of life. The emphasis on character, discipline, and making good choices is so strong that I have watched it literally transform a kids life. Please consider either attending here yourself or sending your kid here, you wont regret it.

My daughter has been attending Hoovers ATA for over a year and loves it. She loved it so much and talked about it so much that she was able to convince my niece to join as well. As a parent, I love the fact that Mr. Hoover and Mr. B give the students a mini life lesson lecture on different topic areas. Thank you.

Hoovers Martial Arts has been so wonderful for our kids! The staff is amazing at how they work with the kids to advance ranks and develop their skills. Even more than learning martial arts, the kids learn lifelong lessons of respect, manners, working hard, and choosing good friends!

Hoovers ATA Martial Arts has changed our daughters life! Not only do they teach their students the techniques on taekwondo, but they also teach them to be better in life. Being able to learn about being respectful, having courtesy and integrity, making good choices, and persevering through hard times are only a few of the amazing qualities the instill in those they work with. They truly care for you and their support on making you better (physically, mentally and soulfully) are beyond measure! Thank you, Hoover ATA and all the instructors that have been a part of our journey!!
