Oh Do Kwan has been amazing for my 7- and 5-year-old. Both of my kids have gained confidence that shows not just in class, but also at school and on the soccer field. The coaches are highly experienced and do a great job reinforcing both the skills and the discipline of the martial art. That discipline carries over into their daily lives, which has been a huge positive for our family. If youβre thinking about signing your kids up, I can honestly say you wonβt regret it.

We couldn't be happier with our son's experience at this Muay Thai gym. Although he's only been in the class for a little over four months, we've already seen remarkable growth in his skills and confidence. The coaches are phenomenal. They're patient and create a supportive environment where kids can truly thrive. This class has taught him more than just the sport and has instilled respect, perseverance, and focus. βIf you're looking for a top-tier Muay Thai program, we highly recommend this one. The coaches and community have made a profound impact on our son in such a short time, and we are so grateful.

The confidence of my 9yr old daughter has grown significantly only a month into the class. There are plenty of kids her age and size. The kids that are bigger will go easy on smaller kids. Kids with more experience will help the younger or newer members learn and will even correct poor techniques. It's fun to watch. She loves it and we are so glad we joined.
The instructors are great with the kids. Discipline, respect, technique, concentration and fitness are all highly valued by the instructors and taught to the kids every class while keeping it fun and engaging.

I am out of shape, in my 30s, and Iβve never thrown a punch in my life. None of that mattered when I joined here!
Master Joaquin and Bryce have both helped me tremendously, and I look forward to each class to learn more and push myself.
I tried a few other gyms in the area, and the quality of environment, students, and instructors cannot be found anywhere else but here!

As a parent, finding a gym that not only provides a safe and engaging environment, but also fosters self-confidence, ability, and discipline is rare to find. I am thrilled to share my experience with this amazing gym and its exceptional staff. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping each child reach their full potential. The coaches take the time to understand each child's unique strengths and weaknesses, tailoring their approach to ensure that every participant feels supported and encouraged. The emphasis on self-confidence is evident in the way the staff interacts with the children, providing constructive feedback and celebrating their achievements, no matter how small. The coaches are skilled at identifying areas for improvement and providing targeted drills to help the children progress. The classes are structured in a way that challenges the children without overwhelming them, ensuring that they remain engaged and motivated. I recommend this gym to anyone looking for a supportive, engaging, and inspiring environment for their children to learn and grow.

My son and I have been training here for about 8 months now. I can't imagine training at any other school. The instruction given from Bryce and Master Joaquin aim to develop us to the highest level. They focus on teaching what is really important and build on that foundation. I've seen first hand the difference between students at our school and other schools in the region, and Oh Do Kwan creates much better fighters. Each student's needs are personally addressed in class. We are watched and evaluated closely, and they do all they can to help us continue to improve.
For the kids: Lessons teach discipline, humility, kindness and how to listen to instructions. All of the kids respect and are kind to each other. They learn true sportsmanship and are taught to keep ego out of the building. It's a great class and we need more kids in Sharpsburg!
For the adults: All of the above, plus more advanced development. I love the group of people here. It feels like we are all a family and everybody is looking out for each other. We all try to help each other grow in the sport if we can. I have not encountered a single person I have not enjoyed working with, and I look forward to every class. I look at myself 8 months ago and can't believe the progress I have made since I first started. It feels great.
I will continue to train here for the foreseeable future, and highly recommend joining if you are looking to get in shape, learn the art, compete or not compete.

This is the perfect place for any child or adult to build self confidence, learn inner strength, discipline, and focus. If you are looking for all of the above, then Oh Do Kwan is for you and your child(ren). My son has been at this school for 4 years and this has been the greatest experience for our now 8 year old. He has learned and continues to learn so much about himself, his skills, and his desire to be a better martial arts student. We couldn't be happier and there aren't instructors in town or the state of Georgia as impressive as Master Joaquin and Bryce.

Master Joaquin and Bryce really know what they are doing. They have showed my son so much discipline in a unrushed, tough but fair manner. I definitely picked the right place for my son and would recommend it to any parent!!!

I have been in the martial arts for over 20 years and have studied at several schools during my tenure. This school is by far the best well rounded dojo I have attended. The school teaches a modern practical application of several martial arts disciplines and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable. The school will tailor its instruction around your capabilities and instructors know just the right amount of motivation techniques to get you to expand and grow. Best of all you really feel like a family member at this school. Everybody takes an interests in your well being and we all push to make each other better martial artists.
I highly recommend you stop by the dojo and see for yourself.

They really dedicate time and effort to a well rounded experience. Both of my children have shown improvements in all aspects of their lives in a few short weeks of attending. Even my child on the spectrum has made fantastic strides. They spend the time learning proper technique and supporting parents at home. One of the best experiences for both my girls.

My 4 year old has had a wonderful experience here! Everyone is always so attentive and patient while teaching her. I wasn't sure what to expect when she asked me to try something like this but now I am sure we found the right place for her!

I wanted my son to start being more active and work out. I was doing my own research and found about ohdokwan. I chose it because it was close by, and the price was right and very reasonable. And when I went in the first day, the teachers were nice, very structured and it was great. My son is learning. He's picking it up very well. He's become very more confident and more go to now. He's only been in there for about twould years now and so his confidence level is built up, and his energy level has climbed up. I like the fact that they're very engaging with the students. They keep the students wanting to learn more. It's a good school. I would definitely recommend them to a friend. It's a great experience!

We LOVE Oh Do Kwan Martial Arts! Master Joaquin and his team of instructors meet every child at his/her personal abilities and teach them to push themselves farther than they could ever imagine they could go. At Oh Do Kwan, the students are not only taught the techniques of martial arts, but they are taught imperative life skills that they will constantly use throughout their lives. It is obvious in every training session that the instructors love what they do and love the children they work with. They set high expectations for each child and each child goes above and beyond those expectations! I would DEFINITELY recommend Master Joaquin Bonilla and Oh Do Kwan to ANYONE! Joining this dojang means you are not only joining a team, you are joining a family!

It is nearly impossible to put into words the caliber of character and instruction at Oh Do Kwan martial arts. Master Joaquin Bonilla exhibits an unquestionable knowledge of taekwondo, as well as many other forms of martial arts. Equally important, if not more, is his instinctual connection with his students of all ages. He is a firm task master, yet intuitively understands each student's personal limits. No reward or belt is given without truly being earned; no parent can buy his child's way up to a black belt. Master Joaquin respects his students; in return, he is highly respected by his students and their families. Respect and courtesy are key components of martial arts instruction, especially at Oh Do Kwan. Learning to "fight" is not the goal here. Confidence, discipline, kindness, and respect are equally as important. I have had two children under his instruction over the past decade or so at different times and ages. I have never been disappointed, never been left questioning his decisions, and have always been respected in return. If you're still reading this review, I implore you to visit or call Oh Do Kwan for martial arts instruction. You will not be disappointed.
