Check Out What Parents Are Saying About Our Award-Winning After School Program...
“We were nervous about enrolling our son — he’d never been in a structured program before.”
But from day one, he loved it! We weren’t sure how he’d adjust, but now he looks forward to every class and always asks, “Is today an after-school day?” He’s more confident, more focused, and genuinely happy here.
We’re so glad we took the leap.
Thank you, Hwang’s Martial Arts!
~ Hector & Marina Salazar (Sebastian’s Parents)
“My son’s always had trouble making friends...”
He was shy and didn’t like to join in—and I worried he’d always feel left out. But after starting Hwang’s After-School Program, everything changed.
Now he’s more confident, more outgoing, and always talking about the friends he’s made.
I’m so proud of how far he’s come — and so grateful we found this program.
~ Isabella Marshall (Jonathan’s Mom)
“Our daughter has gained so much confidence in just a few weeks!”
We were really concerned that Kyra was too shy for her age. We wanted her to be more assertive and confident—but we weren’t sure where to start.
After enrolling her in Hwang’s After School Program, we’ve seen an incredible change. She’s standing taller, speaking up, and loving every minute of class. It turns out—she’s really good at it!
We’re so proud of how far she’s come, and so thankful for the supportive, fun environment this program provides.
~ Candice Hayes (Kyra’s Mom, Age 9)
“As a single mom, this program gave me peace of mind.”
Balancing work and parenting isn’t easy — but Hwang's After School Program made it so much less stressful. I know my daughter is safe, supported, and having a great time.
She comes home with stories, smiles, and new confidence. She’s made friends, learned real skills, and found a place where she belongs.
I’m so thankful for the peace of mind this program gives me every single day.
~ Adrianna Sorkin, M.D. (Lisa’s Mom)
