Testimonials

  • Decided to research private self-defense sessions in light of all the horrible racist attacks lately, and I couldn’t recommend working with Ken more. It is so empowering, to use an overused word, just knowing that you can fight back. Ken has great expertise and a patient, clear communication style that I appreciate. Wanna fight? Learn to fight and protect yourself. We’ve been in 4 private sessions so far and have gotten better each time. Ken not only teaches you skills, but also situational awareness to avoid and be able to get out of danger.

  • Our eldest started the Little Cubs TKD class a few months ago, and he’s loving it! Back when we were looking for a TKD class, it was very difficult finding a place that had classes that fit into our schedule (both my husband and I work), but BEAR has classes on Saturday mornings in addition to weekday afternoons! Master Kenny was super patient and accommodating in answering all my questions. The classes are fun and also emphasize discipline. I’m very happy and proud of all the progress my son has made.

  • I’m very proud to be a part of the Bear family. Bear is a great place to train and has many different classes to offer. Master Kenny brings a wealth of knowledge to his students and within his Tae Kwon Do curriculum he is able to expose them to aspects of many different martial arts’ disciplines. For those looking for something outside of martial arts training, Kenny offers several fitness classes that change on a daily basis keeping both your body and mind engaged and focused on your goals!

  • Such a great place for both kids and adults. Master Kenny goes above & beyond to help all of his students achieve their goals. The martial arts classes are so much more than your standard TKD class and his self defense class will prepare anyone for a difficult situation.

He is an amazing teacher who is passionate, well-informed, and personable. I definitely recommend these classes to anyone who wants to learn how to effectively defend themselves.
