I’m 66 years old and retired. After I got my Covid vaccination and was able to get out and about, I realized I had lost the spring in my step and was shuffling around like an old man. I decided that I didn’t want to spend my retirement in that condition, so I signed up for a 1-month trial membership at Ascension Martial Arts. In four short weeks I was feeling more limber, more alert, more balanced and stable, and I was again walking easily and confidently—more like my younger self. All the staff (and students) understand that I’m older and don’t share their range of motion. They adjust accordingly and help me work within my limits. I’ve completed my trial and signed up for full membership because I am where I need to be. I know that I cannot stop the aging process, but I can certainly slow its effects and feel awesome as I do. I highly recommend Ascension Martial Arts to anyone of any age. I’ve observed how the teachers work with children, teens and adults, and we are all receiving excellent training.

An amazing place where my child learned discipline, respect, and self confidence!! This is not just a dojo it is a positive community of outstanding people!!

We were welcomed immediately at Ascension Martial Arts studio. Master Youn is incredibly knowledgeable and a great instructor. The entire staff, Ma’am Kellie, Sir Randy and all the others are professional and engaging. I would highly recommend AMA for Tae Kwon Do and Jiu Jitsu instruction. We are so happy to be part of the AMA family. Thank you AMA!

I have been amazed with the professionalism and great communication by Kellie since the first day I reached out via-email for information. My son is in the youngest class and I’ve observed their team being supportive of each child’s age appropriate individuals needs; ie: attention, behavior management, focus and shyness all with patience and guidance. I would definitely recommend ascension !

My 4 y/o son started in July with the Little Dragon summer program. He loves going and being active while interacting with other children. He’s learned new moves that he’s happy to show off at home. He listens more to his instructors now then when he first started. He is now enrolled in the 6 month program. His instructors are really nice and understanding. Overall it is a beneficial experience. Keep up the great work!

Great experience to get a 1x1 lesson scheduled and classes started soon after. Originally, it was just my son taking classes, but he convinced his sister to join also. Both kids have felt welcomed and encouraged since day one. In addition to working on skills, each lesson incorporates messages about doing your best, respecting yourself and each other. We feel safe participating with the precautions they’re taking for Covid-19, and it’s evident that all instructors care about the well being of their students. Highly recommend!

You have to come check out Ascension Martial Arts. I decided to join AMA with my daughter about a year and a half ago. She was 6 and I was turning 43. I wanted to be more disciplined, add something different to my workout routine, challenge myself, and experience a journey with my daughter. I wanted her to gain confidence, be more disciplined, learn self defense, earn something, and set and meet goals. Joining a martial arts studio can seem intimidating, but not at AMA. At Ascension Martial Arts you are part of a family. There are no egos, everyone is friendly and supportive, and we all help each other to the the best version of ourselves. To be better than you were yesterday. The staff and instructors are awesome. They truly care about their students. AMA- you have exceeded our expectations!

This is where I began my search for a martial arts school for my girls - soon after it would become mine too. The first school called me 2 weeks after I already enrolled - the second school would not give me full details until I tried them - a mistake because now my kids wanted to join but had no clue of the financial obligations.At last I called Master Youn. He not only gave me every detail but offered a custom trial. While not free, it was low enough for me to take the risk. At this point my guard was up and I looked at reviews like this one and the website to find one fault. The more I looked the more I liked. Specifically Maam Kellies involvement as program director and a standing 4th degree black belt!!! This was awesome considering my girls would immediately relate to a successful woman and not find themselves without a role model (as it relates to this journey).Lastly I stayed for a class where a parent was stuck answering my questions. I was intrigued to find out that not only did both of his kids enjoy the program but had exceeded with excellence. A key point because kids tend to get disengaged quickly. The cherry on top was the reality that an adult like myself could not only join but become part of a community - one that I would quickly call my own!

I have been going to AMA for just about 3 years now and they are amazing. I joined to do something that I have always wanted to do and to better myself, both physically and mentally. Master Youn, Ma’am Kellie and Sir Randy are absolute perfect and will help every step of the way to help you get what you want out of martial arts. I am beyond happy with the work they are doing and they progress that I see myself making. Attending AMA is a must for everyone!

Our daughter has attended AMA for five years. She has built her confidence, respect, and self discipline through her instructors. They have reinforced how hard work and focus yields positive results. She has built friendships with many of her classmates and looks forward to every class. Great instructors that make it a family friendly experience! We highly recommend AMA!

Love this place... highly recommended

I love the place n i m getting more confident because of the friendly environment

This place was very welcoming and accommodating. We loved that we could try it before committing. My son loves it so far!

Grt martial arts school. My son has been here for about 3 years and does love the teachers here Master Youn Kellie Ma’am Randy Sir and others👍🏽

Our daughter decided she wanted to try taekwondo. After talking with Master Youn on the phone he invited her to a private lesson to see if taekwondo and AMA would be a good fit. My daughter felt comfortable with Master Youn and Maam Kellie. We decided to join...and so happy we did. Our daughter has gained so much self confidence, respect for herself and others. Fast forward 2 years, my teenage son decided to join. He has become stronger physically, mentally and become more self confident.So glad our daughter decided to try something new. Thank you Master Youn, Maam Kellie and AMA team for engaging our kids, having high expectations for them and making martial arts fun. We have no regrets! Happy to be part of the AMA family!

Great place,great quality and great teachers!!I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try out for martial arts! Master Youn is the best instructor i know!!

I am amazed how this dojo is working through Covid. Everything is clean, children/adults have temperature checks before entering the building along with proper hand hygiene entering and exiting. During this pandemic this dojo offers, in person, virtual and one on one training. At each level, the classes have trained certified instructors. Not only on martial arts yet in childhood education. Overall this dojo is not just about training, it teaches life skills, kindness and much more!

Prior to trying AMA, I had only taken cardio kickboxing classes, which I loved. I really wanted to take a Martial Arts class, but thought Id make a total fool of myself. Master Youn changed that. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He takes the time to explain not only the how, but the why. I have never felt intimated or embarrassed working out with him. If he is this patient with a middle aged woman, I can only imagine how awesome he is with children! I highly recommended AMA!

Its a great all around experience, the people there who work with you and other students are very friendly and always ready to help. I personally enjoy every single class I go too, and I think anyone else who signed up, would too.

Led by a knowledgeable, dedicated, and friendly team; this studio provides a great variety of exercise to work the whole body, and an amazing community of members to grow and progress with!

My daughter enjoys her experiences at Acension. She enjoys the physical activity and working out with friends and making new ones. It has really helped in her self discipline as well. The instructors teach in a friendly easy going manner and at an age appropriate level. My daughter looks forward to class every week.

My experience at Ascension Martial Arts has been absolutely awesome. We enrolled our 5 year old son in the Dragon class and He loves it. The dedication, integrity and kindness from Master Dan Youn, Maam Kellie along with the rest of the staff is amazing. We are a family with Martial arts experience and after spending two years at a different school and researching other Martial arts schools around south eastern Wisconsin, Ascension Martial Arts was an easy choice.

A good instructor teaches students how to fight, a great instructor teaches students how to live. I believe this quote does an amazing job describing AMA. Not only are the head instructors extremely knowledgeable in technique, but in life as well. They truly wish to see you grow as individuals inside and outside of class.

We appreciate and are astounded by the effort AMA has gone through during this pandemic to respect every familys decision. Group classes are offered, Zoom classes are offered and one-on-one, which my kids love. We feel they are safe and our kids are included!

I have had the pleasure of learning from Master Youn and the other instructors at AMA for 13 years. It has been a great experience for me to not only learn martial arts skills, but also how to improve myself outside of the school in many ways. I shared my martial arts experience with my daughter, and I strongly suggest you consider learning with your children, too. It is a unique learning experience that they will never forget, and you will have the pleasure of doing it together.

Starting something new as an adult can be very intimidating, but from the moment I walked into Ascension I knew I was somewhere special. Master Youn and Ma’am Kellie are incredibly knowledgeable and extremely talented. The atmosphere is friendly and open, as well as respectful. All the members I’ve had contact with are not only willing and able, but enthusiastic to share their knowledge and work with inexperienced new students. Whether you’re looking for a place for your child or yourself, you’d be hard pressed to find a better place than AMA.

Our son has been going to AMA for over two years and he really loves it! They teach respect and discipline in addition martial arts. It’s been a great experience for our family.

AMA is not just a school, it is a family. Everyone in the school, no matter what age or what level, treats everyone else like family. The teaching is also very thorough, challenging people to push themselves beyond what they think they can do. They are accepting of different fitness and ability levels. Overall it is not just about moving up in belts, it is about learning respect, integrity, dedication, and discipline. It is also so much fun!

My daughter has been taking classes with AMA since last summer. She recently earned her yellow belt! Looking for a great way to get back in shape, i joined adult classes just a few weeks ago. My muscles are aching in a good way and my brain gets a work out learning and practicing new skills too. I’m also loving sharing the experience with my daughter, who is one of five kids. It’s nice watching her come out of her shell and take ownership of something. We are loving this school so far and anticipate sticking with it for years to come!

Very Family friendly. Started my son to gain confidence, and now I am going to be sending my two daughters.

AMA has caring, attentive teachers who know how to effectively communicate with children. Our child looks forward to class as its a fun way for them to exercise and learn focus. They offer several different ways to pay, making it easy to fit into our familys budget. Weve already recommended AMA to several families!

Going here has been absolutely amazing for my son. The confidence and ability he has gained in just under a year is incredible. Sir, Mam and all the staff/students support and professoonalism is exactly what you would hope for and expect. I would recommend them to anyone!

AMA is awesome. Master Youn and Ma’am Kellie are so great with the kids. My son is learning a lot and really enjoys it.

Master Youn is a very caring helpful . He makes time to talk about anything. He is honest and very respectful and personable. Maam Kelly is loved by everyone in class no matter the age class. They take there time in developing your children not only in the marital arts but in respecting there parents and family members friend and whom ever they come in contact with. Which means a lot to us. My son has been here since he was 7yrs old he is now 11 and just completed his black belt.. best decision I have ever made for him. Thank you ascension. For everything..

My son started to go to AMA and absolutely loves it. In a short time Im already noticing positive behavioral changes and confidence in my child. I highly recommend AMA!

My eight year old son has been training at Ascension Martial Arts in Oak Creek for two years, and he still looks forward to going to every class. The progression of the belts allows him to constantly learn something new so he is always being challenged and never bored. Master Youn and the other instructors know how to make class fun and interesting while still teaching respect and discipline. My son is currently a red belt, and I have no doubt that with the knowledge and encouragement of the staff, he will stick with it and reach his goal of earning his black belt and more. My husband and I joined the adult class a year ago, and we love it. AMA is more than a school, its a family. Everyone is very welcoming and supportive. We hope to continue to train as a family at AMA for many years to come.

Very friendly and welcoming staff make this place great. They stay on track and i really feel like they make use of the whole session that youre signed up for. On top of this they offer many social activities for members to take part in which bring a lot of the members closer and makes it a great environment.

Hands down the best Martial Arts school around.

Great place to train and grow as a martial artist even if you are a beginner or returning to the art.We have been training here for over 2 years now and it has become a family affair. This school is great for kids and adults of all ages. The instructor are patient and knowledgeable about life and their craft.

We have only been part of AMA for 9 months, but it quickly has become like a second family. The instructors are top notch and the families involved are welcoming and friendly. AMA is a fun environment that makes us all want to come back and learn more. We highly recommend it anybody who might want to get involved in martial arts.

One of the best decisions I have ever made was joining Ascension 2 years ago. Ive gained new skills, new confidence, and great friends. If you want a place to work out and be challenged without being intimidated, this is it!FYI Grown-ups, I am in my thirties, not naturally coordinated by any means, and a working mom. Taekwondo isnt just for kids. Youre not too old to start. If you are looking for martial arts for your kids, Ascensions childrens program is excellent as well. My 7 year old loves going and my 4 year old cant wait to start.

My son has been going to AMA for 5+ years now and still loves it! Walking into class tonight he told me that every time he walks through the door that its like a family reunion. Watching your child thrive in this environment is so wonderful! Come join AMA, you will not be disappointed!

My 6 year old son has been with AMA since March 2018. Not only does he love the class, his teachers, and his classmates but so do I! Master Youn, Maam Kelly and the other staff are very welcoming, kind, and make you feel like part of their family. They also do field trips, theme weeks, movie nights, and more! AMA also gives you the option to have your childs birthday party with them! I have also noticed a change in my sons attitude and how he views certain aspects of life. Bottom line...I couldnt have chosen a better or more caring school for my son. Go with AMA!!

We love AMA! The instructors are awesome and they care about the kids. Enrolling my son has been awesome for him. Its given him confidence and he has made many friends. AMA Oak Creek is the best!

We have been with AMA for a few months and we are loving it! My son is learning respect, discipline, and defensive skills. All things to prepare him for the future. The staff are able to command respect in firm but gentle way. They are understanding and accommodating. We look forward to watching our son learn and grow as a part of the AMA family.

The instructors are nice and friendly. I have learned a lot since the first day I had showed up. I have also meet a lot of my friends now from here.

My 4 year old has been attending the Little Dragons program for 4-5 months and absolutely loves it! The instructor (maam kellie) is absolutely amazing. She has fun with the kids while teaching them to practise discipline, self control, and the basic taekwondo techniques. Two thumbs up!

Sir and Maam Kelly are the greatest. They show kindness, care and understanding for each student. They have outdoor activities outside regular classes. They work with parents in all aspects. Ascension is surely the correct choice.

My daughter (12), and 2 boys (8 & 10) have been attending classes with the Ascension staff for over 5 years. They have become like family for us and have been instrumental in teaching my children respect for martial arts and for each other as people. The pride of earning each stripe and each belt is carried into their daily lives and how they participate in school and at home. They are learning life skills in addition to the art of taekwondo. We love the school and are thankful to have them in the community.

I appreciate the teaching and attentive care Master Youn, Maam Kellie and all of their leaders provide. I feel they truly care about the well-being of the children they guide. A clean facility with many class offerings.

This is the best place to train your kids in martial arts in Oak Creek. My 5 year old learns a lot here and the teaching is very thorough and systematic.

My son has been studying with Master Youn and his team for 3 years. Martial Arts had not previously been a part of our family so when we decided to sign him up, we were not sure what to expect. We wanted to get him involved with something new, have some fun, be active, and learn some lessons that he can take with him for the rest of his life. More importantly, that he achieve all of this while being safe. A friend recommended that we meet Master Youn and Maam Kellie. We could not be more pleased with our decision to train and learn with AMA. We have met people, made friends, and formed a bond with AMA that Im certain will last a long time. My son enjoys his classes and that enjoyment has inspired my wife to actually train with AMA as well. If you are interested in signing up for martial arts, Ascension Martial Arts should be at the top of your list. You wont find a gym, you will find a home.

My son has been going to this school for 8 years! Loves it! They teach discipline,and confidence! Very happy we joined him up!

My daughter is been here 2yrs and love it. Is all about respect, discipline, confidence in our kids. Keeps us moving everyday. I will try everything....THANKS!

Awesome place to learn martial arts with the best instructors and staff. My son is always excited for class and has learned a lot since he began. Would definitely recommend AMA.

My daughter loves coming here. It is a wonderful accomplishment for any age. There is good structure and the school is family oriented.

My kid goes here and the team is always patient and very organized. Highly recommend

We only just started but after three free classes we knew by the feel of it this was a good place to learn. The diverse crowd and friendly parents sealed the deal.

While shy isn’t the first word that comes to mind with my little guy, he does need to build up his confidence. we’ve been coming since november and i’ve seen drastic improvements with not only his confidence but also his overall attitude. not to mention the benefits of the actual skills he’s learning with this disclipine. i’m extremely pleased with ascension and all the staff is wonderful!

My two girls started with AMA a few months ago. They really seem to enjoy class and the instructors. They are improving with each class and are getting ready to test for their next belt very soon. They are developing discipine and structure that some of their other activites are lacking. When my schedule frees up, Im looking forward to joining AMA myself.

Ive been with Master Youn for over 5 years total. I left when the school was still Chos and specifically chose to return based on the quality of the school he runs. You will get a great workout, meet awesome people, and learn how to defend yourself as well. Belts are earned and not given here. I cannot recommend Ascension Martial Arts highly enough!

My family and I have been training here for 10 years now and we could not be more thrilled. A very welcoming faculty, great people, and the rigorous curriculum make it a fantastic dojang. If you are looking for a school in which to train, as well as a family to become part of, join Chos.

I signed my 6 year old son up for the Little Dragons class in November of 2018. I originally heard about Acsension Martial Arts at the Oak Creek health fair in the fall of 2017. I was interested but wasnt sure if my son would be ready as he was just turning 5 years old. Fast forward a year later and I started looking into extra curricular activities for him because he is extremely active with A LOT of energy. I started reading reviews about Ascension Martial Arts as well as hearing wonderful things about it for both children and adults. We started out with a 3 class trial session for $25 to see if he would be a good fit for the Little Dragons class. They do this so that your child can meet the instructor and the instructor can get to know your child on a personal level. I think it is awesome that they do this because 6 months is a big and long commitment. We signed up for 6 months of classes that are held for 30 minutes twice a week. After just a couple of months I saw significant, positive changes in my son. Saying please and thank you, much more respect for myself, my husband and other people in general, especially adults! He tested and was rewarded by getting his high white belt before his 1st six months were over. I continue to see positive changes on a regular basis and couldnt be happier with the wonderful work Master Youn and Maam Kelly do with these kids!! Maam Kelly gets down on your childs level, speaks to them and relates to them as children and knows the children as individuals! When the children may be having an off day or have an excess amount of energy they adjust the class to the kids not the other way around. We are always welcomed by name when we arrive. This is truly a family friendly experience and environment. We just signed up for a 2nd 6 months of classes and I am extremely excited to continue to see positive changes in my son! They also have activities like parents night out for nominal fees. The last one was nerf night. Maam Kelly plays with the kids while you go out for some adult time. My son is excited for the next one!! I wouldnt blink an eye at leaving him there as I know my child is in the awesome care of Maam Kelly. They also have an event called coaches corner. This is an evening to spend with your child at the facility were you can do sparing and other activities using the facility equipment to have some fun with your child. We couldnt make the last one but absolutely wont miss the next one! I am also considering signing up for an adult class for myself. My only regret is that I didnt sign him up a year earlier. Thank you Master Youn and Maam Kelly for the wonderful work you do with these kids!!

Amazing instruction and staff. Felt welcome from day one and would recommend Ascension to anyone.

I love coming here!! The instructors are great and the classes are really fun!! I was looking for a great martial arts school and this was definitely the one!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

My son has grown so much in our years of coming here - he has become much more confident . . and stronger! Would recommend to anyone!!

Master Youn and Maam Kelly are great with my two sons. Excellent school for families.

A great place to learn Martial Arts. Master Youn and Maam Kelly are awesome in teaching both basic and advanced levels of Martial Arts. More importantly its a fun place

Me and my daughter have been with AMA for a few months and we are loving it .It is very good place for kids and adults to learn Martial Arts

Great for students of all ages. My granddaughter studies at Ascension and has learned not only fighting skills but also discipline and self-control.

Our daughter has been a student of Chos Oak Creek for the past 11 years. She is now a first degree black belt. Master Youn has done a outstanding job growing Amanda into a confident respectful young woman ready to take on any challenge she may encounter. Amanda has also found a purpose in life, assisting with the instruction of little dragons where she once began. If we were to do it over again, we wouldnt change a thing. We would pick Chos all over again. Thanks again Chos family. It is truly a family. Rod and Laurie Lucht

Best school and instructors around !! My kids have learned so much here. We will always recommend AMA to anyone interested in martial arts.

AMA is a family-friendly martial arts studio that does well with educating kids on more than just Tae Kwon Do. Their staff have a great philosophy and are always willing to discuss issues you (and your family) may be having outside of the dojang.

My sister goes here and she loves it :). She always says positive things about this place and the trainers really helped her increase her fitness level.

My kids have attended Ascension for a year now. Master Youn and his staff are professional and courteous. They take great pride in readying their students for belt advancement. Belts are truly “earned, not given.” They are not just experts in the art of Taekwondo; they are earnest teachers and mentors. I would encourage anyone looking for a martial arts facility to call Master Youn.

My son and I have been apart of Chos for 6 years now. We joined when he was approximately 4 years old. I have to say this was the best decision I have made for my family. Because of the training my now 10 year old son has learned discipline, respect, compassion, and has acquired friendships that he and I hope will last for a lifetime. The programs they have are tailored to ones skill level and I have to say I am forty this year and I participate in the adult classes, which I find to be a good way to keep in shape. Chos martial arts also offers certifications that many martial arts schools in the area do not offer. Might I add that the instructors and Master Youn are Phenomenol!!!

Very humbling,teaches discipline and respect. wonderful staff and very many friendship,team building experiences!

My daughters have been attending the Little Dragons class at Chos Oak Creek for the past few months. Not only do they love the class, but the experience at Chos has helped their concentration, focus, and patience. These improved traits have helped them improve their grades at school, and be able to focus and be more patient. As a parent, I could not be happier. They also offer adult classes, Jiu Jitsu, and a family class that I may sign up for. Friendly, courteous staff, top notch black belt academy. If you are looking for a positive, healthy excersize experience, give Chos a try!

Great school for children and adults trying to get fit or earn their black belt. Our son started training with Master Youn and Maam Kelly at the age of 5 and he is now 16. He has wonderful TKD skills but more importantly he has a sense of pride and he has learned respect as a result of his time at with them. Our entire family participates together now and we have a lot of fun doing so. AMA is like a 2nd family for us. Would recommend AMA to anyone.

I have been with Master Youn since 1999. My love for the sport continues to grow, and that is directly related to the comprehensive programming, the knowledgeable and friendly instructors, and the family that I have gained by being at Chos, now Ascension Martial Arts. The focus isnt on how hard you can kick someone, but how hard and far you can push yourself to be the best you can be. The environment is welcoming and safe, and you progress at your own pace to reach your goals. We have child, adult and family classes, jiu-jitsu and more, so that you have multiple programs to choose from. A wonderful experience with great people! The best martial arts studio in Oak Creek!

Ive been at Ascension Martial Arts for 8 years . I love being part of this group. The instructor is very knowledgeable and the class is Top notch. If you are looking for quality in TAE KWON DO, BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU, etc. Ascension Martial Arts is the place. Hope to see you there.

Good people, friends and instructors. I cannot ask for anything more than that.

My thirteen years old son, who recently tested for his 2nd degree, has been studying under AMA instructors for six years now. Not only the AMA instructors have trained him on important martial arts skillsets they have instilled in him self-confidence, responsibilities, respect for others and provided opportunities for him to develop his leadership.Our family enjoy learning taekwondo and BJJ at AMA. Master Youn and the instructors are knowledgeable and work with the students at their appropriate level. They do a great job in pushing and encouraging the students to reach their potential. They make it fun and create a friendly atmosphere while training. They are great teachers.Would definitely recommend AMA to anyone interested in learning martial arts!!!

Chos in Oak Creek is the best. My family and I have been attending chos for over a year now and we absolutely love it. The staff here are very welcoming, family orenitated, and proficant in the knowlege of the Arts. When people think of martial arts they assume its just about getting a high belt ranking, fighting, and wining. Well here the instructors teach you disipline, and are very resourceful when it comes to family intervention. At the price they charge i feel its priceless for the work they do. Wonderful place.

The only thing that could make it to be cool would it be like this

Very good Tae Kwon Do school in the area.

Great group of people and wonderful instruction!

Best Martial Arts in the area! My kids love it

Nice environment for a good training.

My son has a blast in the class with the Little Dragon’s.

Awesome! My son loves it!
