Coach Badr was the coach that got me to take martial arts more seriously. He has genuinely constructive and specific advice that lets me and other students improve in the most efficient way. He’s tough when he needs to be but is also fun and kind with the entire dojo. I’ve never had a bad class with him and I enjoy his lessons because not only are they the perfect level of extenuating, but I truly enjoy them and feel like I’m actively getting better with each session.

I’m a black belt in Taekwondo. I want to sincerely thank Coach Bader for being such an incredible coach. He played a huge role in my Taekwondo journey, helping me reach so many important milestones, pushing me through tough moments, and always making sure I stayed focused and dedicated to the sport. Coach Bader has always made sure my technique was sharp, my mindset was strong, and that I was fully prepared both mentally and physically to step into the dojo and face any challenges. I'm really grateful for his guidance, patience, and belief in me. Thank you so much, Coach Bader.

Coach B. is a fantastic karate instructor who truly motivates kids to do their best. He's patient, encouraging, and always brings out the best in each child. My boys loved every lesson and were eager to practice at home. Coach B. goes beyond teaching karate. He instills important life lessons and helps develop strong character. His classes are fun, focused, and disciplined. We highly recommend Coach B.!
Sekna Khanafer
Instructor Badr is great with children. Our kids keep on asking if having more classes per week. We recommend the Club to all parents. We're looking forward to seeing our kids in few months and years time and how they progress.
