EXCELLENT Based on 67 reviews Posted on Hannah MurrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Martial Arts World Clover Hill has been such an amazing experience for not only my son, but for myself as well! My son goes for before and after school care, and he participates in their summer camp program. He started in June 2025 and he is already a green belt!! I was so inspired that I ended up becoming a member and doing evening classes, and I have never felt more positive, motivated and physically superb! Once my daughter is old enough she will be joining as well! Martial Arts World is such a welcoming environment. Everyone there feels like family. 10000/10 recommend.Posted on Sandy DiggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great opportunity for kids to grow in martial arts techniques, mindfulness and self discipline. We have enjoyed the after care class and summer programs for years.Posted on Allen MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely educational, life changing martial arts school. One of my favorite things about Martial Arts World Clover Hill is that they teach not only martial arts and philosophical information, but how to practically use it in your life. It's an amazing place for adults to train,learn how to defend yourself,and get physically fit. For children it's an amazing place to make make friends , learn how to defend themselves, and teach them lessons they need to be successful adults. Highly recommend it for all ages.Posted on Ed SingletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place to grow! Our son has been a student for a few years. TI Gallon has made a difference in the program bringing a positive reinforcement discipline to the program that keeps our son excited about going. He has learned a lot about martial arts but more importantly the life skills that help him succeed in school and in other activities. We have been impressed with TI Gallon’s willingness to work with us on various skills our son needs help with. They have a great demo team and provide opportunities for competition throughout the year. Highly recommend!Posted on Valarie MillsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With new management taking over, Martial Arts World Clover Hill has dramatically changed for the better! The classes are more organized, the atmosphere is welcoming and positive, and communication has greatly improved. The inside of the building is spotlessly clean and looks brand new, they’ve even added a homework area & lockers in the back for the kids, which is a huge plus. My son has been attending MAW since August 2025, and since the new management stepped in, I’ve seen incredible improvements in his focus, self-esteem, physical fitness, and coordination. Mr. Gallon has been extremely patient and supportive while teaching my son martial arts techniques, and because of that, my son is truly excited about earning his next belt. If you’re looking for a positive, structured, and enriching activity for your child, I highly recommend checking them out!Posted on Iveshia FordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an adult student starting at the beginner level, I’ve enjoyed my time at Martial Arts World. I’ve seen growth in myself physically and mentally. I receive personalized feedback from the instructors every class in a kind manner, yet am also pushed and held accountable. Students can take classes up to 5 days a week which I think is a great deal for the monthly price. While it would be nice to have some adult centered classes , there are unique benefits to having students of all ages learning together. I would recommend giving this place a try. I randomly walked in one day, signed up for the one week free trial and never stopped going.Posted on Shian BrooksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
