I am the kind of person that when I did try to go to a gym, I would go for a few weeks and then get bored or frustrated at my progress and quit. I have been going to Black Knight for several years and since I started dropped about 50 pounds and seen my daily energy level raise dramatically. The instructors are all interested in helping each person improve both physically and in the art.
I would, and have, highly recommend Black Knight to friends and coworkers. My children have had the best experience at Black Knight. The instructors are energetic and passionate about teaching Hapkido to the children, and the owners really understand what is important to the parents in a youth program building respect, discipline, self-esteem and self-defense skills.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Black Knight is an amazing resource for parents seeking martial arts training for their children. Mr. Hung is such a great instructor, very patient and he explains the moves in ways the young ones can understand. I was nervous about starting in a program with Covid but the space is large with enough room to spread out and they are diligent about face coverings. Master Nils is very friendly, and even allowed us to host a birthday party there with a private lesson. It was a hit! So glad we found a place my child enjoys and wants to come back to.

I am/was a visiting black belt. The facilities are excellent. One of the best workout floors I've ever fallen on. Master Onsager (head instructor) has the most organized curriculum for self-defense/martial arts I've seen. I'm very impressed with the other instructors and most importantly - excellent students - good, clean technique which is the true measure of a an instructor - not how well they do - but how well their students do.

I first walked into a Hapkido class sixteen years ago with no prior martial art experience. The main reason I have kept coming back to class and training is because of the fantastic culture that Grand Master Nils Onsager established at Black Knight Martial Arts. The school is inclusive, diverse, and provides a unique engaging, friendly, and safe environment to practice Hapkido. In addition, the facility is amazing and the curriculum regularly evolves so that I always feel challenged to progress. The health benefits of practicing Hapkido have been very tangible for me, both mentally and physically

Black Knight is the Martial Arts School that I didn’t know I needed and am extremely glad that I found. Nils Onsager has established a culture focused on self-awareness and improvement that is reflected in every class and extends into our daily lives. Since joining the school in October 2016, I have become much more intentional about my development. As result, I have seen physical improvements including regained flexibility, increased muscle definition and losing over 30lbs. Additionally, being in the presence of other achievers motivated me to apply for a very competitive Masters Degree program

Hands down, Black Knight is one of the best martial arts schools you might ever hope to find. Every aspect of this school has been carefully considered, every class planned and prepared, all the i's dotted and t's crossed with the precision of a samurai sword. Or whatever the Korean sword equivalent might be.
The instructors are all super knowledgeable and attentive, and every class has a purpose, following a well-planned curriculum that trains students not just to be excellent martial artists but also good people. There is a strong encouragement for everyone to see in themselves the

My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves learning Hapkido at Black Knight Martial Arts. For several years, she had been resistant to the idea of learning karate, but she fell in love with the instruction, especially since she's discovered friends among the other girls in her classes. I had studied Japanese martial arts for eight years and knew what I wanted in a studio for her: a practical system of self-defense, an art form that required self-discipline and personal responsibility (and good behavior in school!) from its students, and a system of clearly delineated levels of achievement. I highly

My son started classes at Black Knight Martial Arts 3 1/2 years ago at the age of 5. I enrolled him in Hapkido to help build his confidence and self esteem. At 8 years old, my son is now more confident in school and his after school activities. I have been very impressed with the professionalism and skills of the owners and all of the instructors. I moved to Douglas county a year ago and we still make the drive to attend classes at Black Knight. We have had a very positive experience and look forward to watching my son reach his goal of obtaining his youth black belt in Hapkido.

We love Black Knights. Our 7 year old has been taking martial arts lessons since last fall. I have seen a marked improvement in his coordination and stamina which always makes me happy. He loves to go and is excited when it is BK day. We have also noticed that his demeanor has improved as well. He is much more respectful in the way he speaks to everyone. I highly recommend it.

My children have had the best experience at Black Knight. We are on our third year in the youth program for my 9 year old son. The instructors are energetic and passionate about teaching Hapkido to the children and the owners really understand what is important to the parents in a youth program - building respect, discipline, self-esteem and self-defense skills. We have participated in the summer camps, sword fighting contests, parents night out and birthday parties. We love this place and recommend it highly!

Both of my kids have attended Black Knight regularly for the past couple of years and it has been a positive experience that I would definitely recommend to other parents. It's a great, fun way for kids to build skills in discipline, exercise, and self defense in a structured environment. The staff is all very friendly and personable, and they recognize that each student is different, has different needs, and is motivated differently. They show a sincere personal interest in meeting these needs for each individual student. The facilities are comfortable and conveniently located. Highly recommended

Black Knight has been an awesome place for our son to learn martial arts. He has improved so much since he started a couple of years ago. The regular belt tests give him something to work toward and he has been proud of his accomplishments. All of the instructors have been very patient with him (something he requires a lot of!) and are very good with kids of all ages.
