Great place my brother Issac goes and he loves it my name is madi and I'm his little sister
Craig
Family Force Martial Arts of Jefferson City is the place to go if you want to get yourself or child into martial arts. It’s a joy to watch Chief Master Edwards work with his class. You can tell he truly cares for the students and lives for Taekwondo. I love that they incorporate the parents into some of the training as it makes the class even more fun for the kids. We couldn’t be happier that we chose Family Force Martial Arts for our son.

I highly recommend Family Force. They provide a wonderful program for our 3 kids and a positive environment for all students. The structure and life skills are great tools as well.
Chel Parker
Child started taking classes. They are very good and attentive to all children. It was such a good experience we decided to continue classes. Its not expensive but not cheap either. But seeing how much it helps the child... totally worth it. Teachers are very hands on. Would totally recommend... expecially for child with anger issues.

Nothing but great things to say!!! The staff is so helpful and so polite!! They will definitely not leave you behind like most places will !! They also make class such a great time! My biggest regret is not signing up with them a while back ago.

I highly recommend. My only regret is not signing my son up sooner. Everyone is amazing, excellent with kids, clean, organized, and personable. My son has learned so much in a short period of time. I enjoy watching him grow week by week.
