Apex Martial Arts Academy - Stockton, California

Thuy Nguyen

My daughter wanted to learn martial arts, and a great friend referred me to Apex Martial Arts in Stockton. The staff are extremely friendly and work with my daughter. She is now going for her yellow belt. She is feeling more confident than when she first started. Her positivity, strength, and courage level have reached a higher level. She looks forward to class every week and meets new friends. These groups of students support one another and teach each other to grow. Thank you, Apex Martial Arts-Stockton, for helping my daughter believe in herself and always marking her feel a part of your family. Thank you, Master Tan, and your amazing team!!!

Master Tan at Stockton Kuk Sool Hapkido is THE BEST. Actually, every single instructor here at the school is fantastic. My son is only 4 but has learned so much here. His discipline, social skills, and his fine/large motor skills have improved beyond a normal 4 year old's range and a lot of it is due to the classes held here at the school. Every child I've seen here is above and beyond fit. The older ones that have been here a while are so disciplined and athletic. It's very impressive.

They learn not only the martial art itself but life skills as well. It's not all games like it is at a lot of other schools in Stockton and trust me, I took my son on sample classes to every other school in the area. This is the only school in Stockton that offers this quality of learning.

In addition to the classes, your child will be able to join in on field trips, little events, demos, etc. They foster not just a healthy body but a healthy community here at the school. My husband and I do not regret even one penny spent on the monthly tuition.

If you are considering some sort of extracurricular activity for your child, try out a class here. I promise, you won't need to look anywhere else.

Wonderful place to go for martial arts training, wonderful people. Everyone is always patient and sees you for who you are. I appreciate everyone here, and hands down the best martial arts academy in the San Joaquin valley. I love being apart of the apex family and I hope to inspire others along my journey.

We highly recommend Apex Martial Arts! Our son has been attending since December 2021 (he was 4 years old). He started out shy and quiet. He was, typically, a very reserved child that prefer to be alone at home. Back then, he didn’t always participate in class, and his attention span was short. Fast forward to now, July 2023, he has grown and opened up tremendously. He participates, talks, enjoys being around others, and has more focus. He has also gain skills in body awareness (and is less clumsy) and communication.

The Apex staff are professional and the very best. They are knowledgeable on how to teach children. Every class is purposefully taught, and most importantly, the students have so much fun! Master Tan engages with all the students. Sir Logan and Sir Ian are very skilled with students. They approach students with clear expectations and redirect behaviors with kindness & respect. They follow through and support each student every step of the way to ensure success. The staff also recognizes areas of strength within each student and areas that need strengthening.

Our older daughter recently started, and she is always motivated in class. She says has fun, and she feels comfortable in every class.

We are so grateful for everything! And, we look forward to many, many, many more years! At Apex, our children are learning so much more than martial arts in class! We encourage you to contact Apex and observe how they teach their students & families.

My son has learned great discipline and confidence! On top of the skills he's learning, he's also making friends and loves coming to class! The instructors and fellow classmates are friendly and everyone helps everyone. We're proud to be part of the Apex family !

The best experiences I have ever had in my life regarding Martial Arts. I joined when I was 13 years old. The teachings helped me defend myself over the years while I was in high school, the Marine Corps, and after that as a Veteran. I came back after 20 years later and brought by daughter in as well, yet its still a great school, I recommend this school for anyone.

This has been a great experience for both of our children. The instructors are extremely friendly, very patient with the children, and are skilled teachers. The owner and his wife are constantly interacting with the children and are encouraging them all of the time. I would definitely recommend this institution to anyone who wants their kids to learn teamwork and individual discipline.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My kids attend Apex Martial Arts and have been students for over a year now. To say there has been an improvement in their behavior is an understatement. They have learned how to respect their peers, how to defend themselves and most importantly, have gained new friends who have turned into family. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are more than willing to help you if you need it. Master Tan and Ma’am Angie are two of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. The things they do for their students and for the Stockton community show just how amazing they are. If you’re still doubtful, stop by and join us for a class.
