I was looking for a TKD program where my son and I could continue our learning during the pandemic. It was difficult because we could not visit different schools so we had to do it online. I found a school that was 4-5 hours from us but since they had online training available. After reading through their detailed website, I thought we would give it a try. I was so glad we did!

I reached out to Master Kwok, telling him we were not from NY but interested in their online classes. He didn't send me away! He welcomed me and my son to join, and he spent time explaining to me the expectation since the online classes would be challenging for both instructors and the students, especially the young ones. But it was amazing to see how they handle the junior classes, upholding the seriousness in martial arts while keeping the children engaged, AND making it fun!

Their instructions are clear, detail-oriented, and encouraging. The kids are given a weekly worksheet with clear instructions (Warm-up and drills) on what to do during the week on their own. The instructors even spend time teaching them the importance of ethical conducts and respects, and they set great example by treating all the young students with respect (Example: they never degrade or embarrass their students even when they make mistakes in classes), which I really appreciate.

As for my adult classes, it's been 45 mins, twice a week, and they are intense! Their instructions are very well put together. All repetitions and combinations are crafted specifically so we can perfect each move unknowingly! Occasionally Master Kwok would spend time talking about the reasons and details behind each move to help us fine-tune it, regardless of your belt color and levels. This makes you feel like you're in a master class! The instructors pay much attentions on details, and they are very patient and encouraging in their instructions.

Outside of classrooms, the instructors are very good in communicating with their parents and students. They are able to respond in a timely manner with utmost respect no matter who you are.

Master Kwok and the instructors of GMA are more than just great martial arts instructors, they are great educators. They pay attention on how their students would best absorb their instructions and they'll adjust their teaching methods in ways that all students will benefit from them.

My son and I are very glad we find GMA. If you are looking for online martial art training right now, check out GMA, highly recommended. With these high-quality online trainings, I cannot imagine how good it would be to be trained there in person!
