This is an exceptional place. Especially for my 5 year old son. Mike is amazing with the kids, he has a special gift, in working with children & he's funny too!
We also had my son's birthday here, and it was super easy and fun!!

This school is amazing. Mike Ashwood is phenomenal and successfully instructs all types of kids. I have personally seen him instruct children that have challenges that no one else might take on but Mike did - and they loved him! All of Mike's kids are black belts themselves and this is definitely a family business to be proud of. My son earned his black belt under his instruction and we are fans for life! The standards that this school sets are high and you would never regret attending here.

Mike Ashwood is fantastic with the kids, creating an environment that balances hard work with fun. My daughter recently became a black belt and I am so proud of the journey she has taken and know that it was such a great journey in part because of Mr. Ashwood and the environment he creates for the kids.

Mr. Ashwood was made for this job. My daughter loves working with each of the Ashwood family. Her self-esteem & confidence have grown to new heights.

I love this place. Mr. Ashwood is a great instructor. My dad and I started going here back when I was 14 and 9 years later, I'm getting back into it (after a 5 year hiatus) to work toward my 2nd degree black belt. If you live in Forney or the surrounding areas and are looking for a good place to learn martial arts, I highly recommend International Karate and Self Defense.
