I’ve been going to Han Mi for over 2 years, and I can’t say enough good things! The Han Mi community is amazing, kind, supportive, caring, and has your learning in a friendly environment as their top priority. I have gained confidence both by training in Kendo and Jiujitsu. Han Mi is like a second family to me, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Ryan Douglas recommends Han Mi Martial Arts

My son enjoyed taking taekwondo classes here for almost a year and a half, and my wife loved the women's self-defense classes for over a year. Everyone there was always super helpful and responsive if there were ever any questions. Master Thompson is a top notch instructor and it was great to see his passion for what he does every time we were there.

Han Mi provides quality and detailed Jiu-Jitsu instruction in an environment that is welcoming, clean and safe. 100% recommend. 

Jared Dash recommends Han Mi Martial Arts

I've been going to Han Mi for well over a year now, I started in the Kendo program but also just got my first stripe in Gracie Ju-Jitsu. Absolutely fantastic place to learn, comfortable environment, great instructors and staff, and their handling of classes (online) during the pandemic was well executed, especially considering that Kendo typically requires a partner! If you're looking for self-defense, to get fit, or just have fun learning something with purpose, Han Mi is the right place! Also come join Kendo, we'd love to have more people!
