We highly recommend Master Irvin’s House of Discipline for all kids. Try a class today and you will be so impressed!
ksenia kozlova2021-03-07As a Mother, first of all, I want to note how Master Irvin knows the way to work with children, how he, Mrs. Ivory, and his assistant instructors create an environment where students want to practice, be disciplined, enjoy their success. The most valuable thing in these classes is that it all happens together with the Master! As the result - happy parents, happy children, friendly atmosphere, everyone becomes a part of one such interesting process! As a student, I find Master Irvin to be attentive, detail-oriented, sociable, and at the same time demanding. I am grateful for the opportunity to train. Master Irvin works for the result.

Monique Fuller2021-03-05Master Irvin's is by far the BEST martial arts school my son has attended. Master Irvin himself is awesome with the kids and gives the kid the love and leadership they need while giving them a great foundation about the principles of martial arts. My son loves this school and I wouldn't trade this school for another one. I still believe it takes a village and boys need need strong male figures and Master Irvin is fulfilling that to the to the fullest. Thank you Master Irvin for all you're doing and what you do.
Summer Berry2021-02-09We absolutley love Master Irvin and Mrs. Ivory. Very professional and his classes are very entertaining for the parents :) Highly recommend if your child needs an extracurricular activity. We have seen a huge improvement with our son. Thank you guys!
Yo Kyo2020-11-06Practiced here for Senior project for several months! This is an Excellent school! I was able to participate in a tournament and receive my yellow belt during testing! Master Irvin is a great man and instilled a lot of confidence and discipline in me and made sure i was legitimately proficient in what I was learning! I’d love to go back when I stop taking night classes! It was great exercise and a great experience!
Sierra Renee2020-09-01My son has only been with Master Irvin for a few months and I am so glad we found this school! Master Irvin is a strong, passionate and knowledgeable teacher. My son has learned so much since he’s started. I have also took a self defense class and loved it! I gained so much knowledge, obtained lots of techniques and a mindset that’s ready at all times! Master Irvin is a great instructor and I’m glad my son is one of his students!
Brian Addy2020-09-01Master Irvin does a fantastic job of creating a disciplined learning environment for all ages. He teaches the kids about respect, leadership and discipline. Tae Kwon Do is a great format for kids to build self esteem and learn some defensive skills. We’ve had our 9 year old in classes for almost a year and have seen improvements at home and school. I would highly recommend this place. He truly cares about teaching the kids and enjoys seeing them progress and develop.
