I can’t express enough positive things about this place. My four-year-old absolutely loves going to Little Dragon. Seeing him so excited to go just makes my day! The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely wants the best for the students!
The staff at GMA are wonderful. My 4-year-old was very nervous at first, but Master Gabel and the encouraging staff were there to support him. He eventually opened up and loves going to Taekwondo now!

*updated* (2025) We have three kids at Gabel Martial Arts and have been at this location since it opened. We have participated in classes, events and even summer camp! My children are in Little Dragons, Beginner, and Advanced classes respectively. The Little Dragons class is the perfect 30-minute for my 5 year old, and the older kids have really grown in their levels. The instructors balance fun with discipline and handle every personality with ease, a wide scope of which my children challenge them with. The staff bring great knowledge and energy, and Master Gabel adds focus and experience. A fantastic place for kids to learn! *Updating summer 2026- now 3 of my 4 kids AND myself are students here! We appreciate the self defense techniques and expanded family classes that have been added as the studio has grown in this newer location. We recently had my daughter’s birthday party here and it was totally worth it! I worried an hour would feel too short, but the kids had a blast with the activities and mini taekwondo class. The instructors handled everything—decorations, paper products, drinks and cake, party flow, and cleanup—so we could actually enjoy the party. My daughter even got to cut her cake with a sword! There’s no time for opening presents, which we knew ahead of time, but the hour was packed with fun and didn’t feel too short at all.
Thank you so much for your kind review. Our team works hard to blend fun and excitement with being a structured learning environment. We want our students to know that hard work can be both fun and rewarding. We look forward to helping your children to black belt and beyond! :-)

Both of my sons really enjoy it here. They love coming home after class and showing us what they learned. The classes are fit for all ages so now even I enjoy taking class with my sons! Master Gabel is so great at teaching things in a way to understand what you’re doing and the rest of the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and fun!

My daughter’s been attending for about a year now. Although she’s not in love with taekwondo like she is with dance class, it’s been a great experience so far because it provides structure and discipline.
Thank you so much for sharing this! We completely understand that every child has different passions, and we love that she has found something she really enjoys in dance. We’re grateful that Gabel Martial Arts can also be a positive part of her journey by helping build structure, discipline, confidence, and other skills she can carry with her wherever her passions take her. Thank you for trusting us with her over the past year—we truly appreciate having your family as part of our GMA family!
