    EDIT: I can assure you my eyes are glued at my child at all times! And I can assure you not a single staff member had eyes on him at that moment! And I am pretty sure each parent is watching their own child. So the fact that you have claims from staff and parents are highly doubtful! Also the convenience of the camera not quite covering the right angle. You can cover your back all you want! But the old man needs some education about neuro-diverse kids and the way to approach them if your facility gladly accepts their applications! Not friendly for kids with Autism! I am very disappointed with this organization and their staff! I have a 5 yo autistic boy, he is high-functioning however he still has his moments. During the trial staff was constantly reassuring me that they are comfortable with his disability, that they know what they are doing, urging me to stop worrying, and that everything is great (as I was concerned that he might be too distracting to the class, and if they agree I’d rather not buy the uniform and pay registration and a month upfront). Once the trial was over and we signed up for classes, the instructors were paying less and less attention to my son. Today the GRANDMASTER Lee grabbed my 5yo by the arm, yanked and threw him to the ground while screaming and slapping leather paddles against the wall, right above my son’s head!!! Poor boy just curled-up on the floor and started crying…. Since when is it acceptable to put hands on little kids with disabilities?!?!?! Especially after so many promises that everything is great?! I am appalled and disgusted!!

    I could not be any happier with my son's experience at USMAC. He is beyond shy and timid but has really started coming out of his shell since joining USMAC. He has gained confidence and has been so motivated to earn his stripes. All of the instructors, Master Chase, Master Lee and Grand Master Lee have been so kind, patient and overall wonderful. I'm so thankful that my son has joined the USMAC family.

    I can't speak highly enough of the US Martial Arts Center in Lacey! My boys absolutely love this place and are always eager for their classes. The instructors are truly exceptional - knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring. I'm incredibly grateful that my kids have learned so much here, especially in terms of confidence and discipline. I would highly recommend this center to anyone looking to enrich their children's lives with martial arts training.

    Where do I begin. My family has been with USMAC for a little over 10 years now. We wanted a facility that taught respect, discipline, confidence, and self-defense. Our biggest draw to USMAC was the family aspect (Grandmaster Lee and his children are the ones actually teaching). As our kids started on their TKD journey we really loved how USMAC taught in the traditional Korean way. Grandmaster Lee's passion for TKD shows in the way he teaches. He treats everyone equally and it shows by the way new students (white belts) get corrected in the same tone and manner as 5,6, and 7 year veteran Black Belts do. You weren't handed your achievements, you had to earn them at USMAC. Our kids made some amazing friends along the way, while all received their Black Belts. They also host several tournaments throughout the year (COVID prevented them in 2020) and we love to volunteer at these tournaments to see the amazing talent that travels from neighboring states and even Canada to compete. Their tournaments are some of the highest attending ones in the state with upwards or 600 competitors. Being that respecting amongst your peers take years of continued improvement and with 30+ years in the Olympia/Lacey community USMAC is hands down the best martial arts school you will find.

    I can’t say enough good things about US Martial Arts Center on Martin. Their lessons and teachers are AMAZING! They are dedicated to making well- Rounded and disciplined students. Master chase is so great with the kids as well as every master there. I am So grateful for the time we got to spend with them and was so disappointed when we moved because it meant leaving USMAC. We are forever grateful for what we’ve learned as family as well as what our 6 year old has taken away.

    So glad we signed our son up for this. The instructors are great at what they do, and I’m impressed with the values he is being taught there, such as confidence and respect. I’ve definitely seen a change in his behavior at home, and even with his social interaction with other kids.

    Great instructors and very family friendly. I attend, along with 3 kids...5 year old, 7 year old and 9 year old. I really like that fact that I can participate in same class as my kids, so not only is it excellent mental & physical workout, but family activity as well. Classes available Mon-Fri in afternoons and Sat morning, so lots of flexibility.

    My son has been coming here for the last few months and it’s been wonderful watching how much he’s enjoyed himself and the skills and values he’s gained along the way. Completely worth it for the unlimited classes package as the quality of both the instructors and the facilities exceed expectations.

    Update: Besides classes, there are so many fun events for the entire family. Really enjoy being part of this community. My kids have been attending for the last 4 months. Amazing program, great instructors who teach not only core fundamentals of martial arts, but enforce crucial life skills. I highly recommend!

    Absolutely the best place for Tae Kwon Do. My children have attended USMAC for over a year, and we are so impressed with the program, the masters, the facility, and the family oriented environment they maintain. Everyone who works there goes above and beyond, every single day, for every student. 10/10 would recommend!

    We have been coming to USMAC for a year and half, and love it! They are knowledgeable, and truly care about the kids and their families! It’s an amazing family friendly environment! They support their students in their growth in all aspects of their lives! My son has learned so much from them! I would highly recommend USMAC!!

    People in these days quest for the real Martial Arts School. I'm 8 times 🇺🇸 USA TEAM member. #Yangcandosocanyou . This place was a real deal.

    Everyone at USMAC was incredibly welcoming on our visit. Lots of floor space and plenty of instructors on the floor to help. Thank you for welcoming us to your facility!

    I have 4 children attending ages 8 to 15 and they all love it, and look forward to coming everyday! We live in Tumwater and drive to the Lacey/Olympia location because the people, atmosphere, instructors are top notch!!! Knowing it is a family business as well, I know which ever center you go to, you won’t regret it!

    I really enjoy attending here. All the Instructers are kind, and I may come here for years to come. Right now, my resume is paused because I got a broken arm from attempting a flip. All besides that, this is a really great martial arts center!

    We have been learning Taekwondo for over a year, and not only do kids learn basic Taekwondo, etiquette, manners, and self-defense techniques. The instructors are so friendly, and we can participate in several competitions and events at the USMAC. Kids also learn confidence. We love this place!

    We’ve only been in the program since April, but we absolutely love it and our son looks forward to his classes each week. The instructors work really well with the kids, helping to build confidence while instilling pride, respect, and manners at the same time. I can see why so many kids attend well into their adulthood. We’re very happy with this school and plan to attend for years to come!

    Our 10 year old son has been attending classes for the last year. The staff is amazing and the instructors are top notch. He is learning so much from self defense to life skills. His confidence has grown so much over the last year and we love watching his progression each week. We love USMAC!

    My son has been doing taekwondo at the Lacey location for about a year now. The masters and instructors are kind yet firm in their teachings and the kids really seem to enjoy them.

  • 5/5 Penelope D. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    We have absolutely loved our experience at USMAC over the last 18mo. Our 12yo son has never been as enthusiastic about a sport or other activity as he is about taekwondo. Their wholistic approach to include physical fitness, discipline and respect is phenomenal.

    The USMAC dojang is organized, instructors are skilled and professional. The staff/instructors want to see all students excel and they provide them the best opportunities to do so.
