Testimonials

For the past 6 years, my children have been attending the Kids Karate Outreach Program, and it has been an inspiring journey. The teachers at the Krock Center SBN Pear and Mt. Carmel Center SBN Matt are phenomenal, showing incredible passion, charisma, and patience.

Their dedication to the kids is evident in every class. They not only teach karate but also instill values like discipline and respect. The personalized attention and positive environment they create help each child thrive.

My kids love their karate classes and have gained confidence, fitness, and discipline. I highly recommend this program for its exceptional impact on both personal growth and martial arts skills. Thank you to the wonderful teachers for making such a lasting difference!Claudia proud karate mom

Best Instructor ever! Dawn is the Best karate teacher on the entire planet!

I love the patience she has with all the kids. I love how she takes her time with each individual to master each move. Best of all semesters classes are back to back no breaks in between. That way they stay motivated and eager to learn more moves and are ready for their next belt ceremony.

Seriously 5 stars I recommend to come check it out you won’t regret it best of all it’s an awesome way to keep your kids busy during summer and all year long best of all it’s not just a sport it’s a perfect self defense class for ages 5 and Up.

Sabumnim Matt is an excellent teacher and he is great with the kids. My son has a great time there and his confidence has improved a lot since he started attending. We like that the program is more affordable than some other programs.

Great karate program for young children, we’ve been going for 2 years and my daughter looks forward to attending her class every week. The instructor is patient and motivating with the kids.

My grandson has been attending classes with Matt for 3 years. I think this is a great program, very affordable and very flexible. Matt's classes instill respect and discipline in all of his students. Matt's quiet demeanor transfers to his students and I appreciate not only the discipline of Tae Kwon Do, but also the example of respectful, adult behavior by the staff. I recommend this program.

This program has been outstanding for our family for almost three years.

SaBumNim Matt Armstrong is the reason my children feel devoted to Taekwondo and work hard to grow and improve their martial arts skills. He's a one-of-a-kind instructor who wholeheartedly respects his students by meeting them where they're at while holding them accountable.

Matt's a remarkable role model for children and relates his own martial arts learning experiences to his students'. The class structure is ideal and very much appreciated: pay-as-you-go and makeup classes anytime…. AYOP is a San Diego family gem.

My kids love this program. We just started here about a month ago. The kids look forward to Thursday's with Sabanim. The classes are really affordable and the instructor focuses on Non -bullying with the skills they learn within the classes.
