Tim P

My 6 year old son just finished his free lessons, and before we left we made sure to sign him up. All of the coaches are so friendly and welcoming. The other students are super respectful and make sure that they let the newer kids learn. Just a great atmosphere all around. My son has been super excited to go, and can't wait for the next class. 100% recommend

Mark Mount

Vigilance is fantastic. They’re knowledgeable and care about their craft. I started here for bonding with my child, but also found a place that has bettered me both physically and mentally.

m harris

I love Vigilance Martial Arts! We learned about them through our town’s yearly giant flea market. I signed my then 4 year old son up for classes. After about a month of watching him, I knew I wanted to join!

The instructors are wonderful. Every month we work on a new life skill- how it applies to both our life and taekwondo. I feel stronger with every class! My son has learned discipline and control. I would 100% recommend Vigilance!
