Been going here for a little over a year now, and I just can't get enough of martial arts! All the staff and teachers are really friendly and have no problem helping you with any questions or trouble with any techniques you're having. The students are also great as well! I've met a lot of great and friendly people in my time at Han Mi Martial Arts. Matt is a great teacher with a lot of experience in martial arts and explains every lesson clearly and concisely. I highly recommend Han Mi Martial Arts if you're interested in learning BJJ, Taekwondo, or Kendo!

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.

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!
