Shiba Taekwondo

We have four kids taking classes at Shiba Taekwondo right now. It has been an amazing experience working with caring instructors. I genuinely feel that my kids are loved there. I love the focus on building character along with the physical discipline required. My children are blossoming in their skills and confidence. I feel grateful to be part of the Shiba Taekwondo family!

Shiba Taekwondo is an amazing school. Master Shiba is knowledgeable and compassionate, but also holds her students to a high standard both inside and out of the school. A belt awarded at Shiba is a belt well-earned, there are no belts awarded "just because," but time and effort is invested into each student to encourage their development and give them space and opportunity to grow. My son's enrollment at Shiba has been life-changing for him in many ways and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Our boys have enjoyed their 2+ years learning Taekwondo from Master Shiba and her staff. There is an atmosphere of hard, productive work while allowing
for growth at the
individual's pace. They do well in balancing all the work with making it fun and interesting. Would highly recommend Shiba Taekwondo.

Simply the best. Master Shiba is knowledgeable, caring, and friendly. The staff and students, young and adult, make new students feel welcome and comfortable. I have been training at Shiba TKD for almost ten years, and 2 years ago my daughter joined us. Master Shiba encourages and teaches each and every one of us to be our best, and my daughter's skill and confidence have skyrocketed. Highly recommend this school!

I have been attending for several months and all I can say is...Outstanding school! Shiba Taekwondo is great for all student types, young and old. Whether you are just looking to improve your self-defense ability or partake in competition, you're in the right place. The instructors are very friendly, capable and excellent at communicating their knowledge to students. The more senior students are also very friendly and more than willing to assist newer students on their way to achieving their goals. If you are looking for a friendly, wholesome environment that will assist in personnel growth & development, this is the place.

Our son and daughter have been attending this studio for about six years now, and we love it! We have been so impressed with not only the quality of the instruction but how much all of the instructors truly care about each student and strive to create an environment of hard work, persistence, and respect. We consider Master Shiba and the other Masters world class caliber teachers, and it has been so rewarding to see our kids progress under their tutelage to do things we didn't even know were possible in the taekwondo world! I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who wants to introduce their child to a martial arts practice because of the consistency of instruction and the ability they foster in every student to do their best work in order to progress.

We love Shiba taekwondo! As a homeschool mom i really value the structure and discipline. My kids love learning and the feeling of accomplishment! I really appreciate that the kids are expected to really put in the effort to earn their belts, they’re not just awarded for attendance. I can’t say enough good about the instructors and facility as well! I would recommend Shiba Taekwondo to anyone looking to get into Marshall arts!

We are very impressed with Shiba Taekwondo. My daughter has been attending classes for several months and we are very grateful for the professionalism, hard work and dedication from Master Shiba and her black-belt instructors, especially during this very challenging pandemic. We appreciate the community involvement, opportunity for high-level competitions as well as the clear and open communication from Master Shiba from the beginning. My daughter looks forward to every class and would be totally lost without Master Shiba and her amazing team. Thank you for keeping her engaged, challenged, inspired and active when we needed it most!

My Son started with Shiba Taekwondo about 7 months ago and absolutely loves it!! All of the instructors have been very helpful and caring. Ms. Nowlin was a his first instructor and he loved going to her class. He has advanced out of her class and he is really enjoying his new instructors. They truly respect the kids and in turn the kids respect them. My Son has grown so much with his confidence and his attitude has gotten so much better. He has gained confidence and self control. I recommend Shiba Taekwondo to everyone I know.

This Place is awesome! The owner is absolutely amazing! Master Shiba is a wonderful teacher and very understanding if you miss a class or two! The building is always clean and ready to train in! If your looking for martial arts this place is a must!

It has been great seeing my Son mature at Shiba Taekwondo. He has learned self-defense but much more he has learned how to respect everyone. The instructors at Shiba are amazing, it is so impressive to see how they learn you child's name and everything about them. I highly recommend Shiba TKD for you and your family.

This has been an awesome Taekwondo school for me because of the amazing instructors who have helped me earn a Kukkiwon Certified black belt, and who have prepared me well for tournaments against competitors across the country.

My kids loves to learn Taekwondo at Shiba Taekwondo. Passionate instructors and they are trying their best to make the kids interest and keep them busy through class.

My daughter reluctantly agreed for me to sign her up for taekwondo 2 years ago, and she has loved it ever since! We appreciate Master Shiba and the other instructors! Despite the many hiccups we've had with my daughter & her health, they have always been responsive and encouraging. They want to see her succeed!! We love Shiba TKD!

Both of my children are enrolled in classes with Shiba Taekwondo and I can say without a doubt that they are each gaining life skills that improve their personal and educational paths. They are learning the physical aspects of Taekwondo, which improves their confidence, health and self-control, while also learning the mental aspects, which teaches them discipline, leadership and respect.

Shiba Taekwondo is a martial arts school that is focused on developing and growing each child individually. Master Shiba and all instructors understand your child's strengths and growth opportunities and focus on their personal success. Receiving that next belt or rank is an achievement that is earned through hard work, not just attendance, which has taught my children patience and integrity.

Master Shiba, the instructors, the students and families are all a strong support system for each other. No matter what your level of involvement is, everyone feels connected and encouraged!

My son started studying Taekwondo with Master Shiba four months ago. We are impressed by the quality instruction he receives from teachers that know him and are as excited to see him excel. He was part of the team from his first class. He is always excited to go to taekwondo and is excited for the opportunity he has to learn new things and to participate in competitions.

As parents we are grateful for his instructors that are always willing to explain things to us. Communication with instructors is open and excellent. I am happy to know that I can find out how my son is doing at any time.

In addition to excellent martial arts instruction, we have found a welcoming community of helpful, friendly people. We are grateful to have found Shiba Taekwondo.

UPDATE
I have been so impressed with Master Shiba and the other instructors during the pandemic. When businesses had to close due to the pandemic, Master Shiba offered online instruction via Zoom. As soon as permission was granted to resume in-person instruction, Master Shiba had a plan in place to protect students and teachers. Students wear masks, remain 12 feet apart, and enter/exit one at a time. Due to such a robust plan, taekwondo is one of the only activities our family has felt comfortable continuing. This is only because of Master Shiba's response. Once again, Shiba Taekwondo has demonstrated that they care about their students and their families.

Attending Shiba Taekwondo has been such an enriching experience for my son! He receives high quality instruction in a fun and positive school. All instructors and instructor students teach with encouragement and truly desire for each student to succeed! My son learns proper Taekwondo technique and also gets great exercise! Such a great school!

My daughter started taking Taekwondo classes with Master Sidney Shiba since she was 3, she loved it since. She is so proud of all she has learn, she knows her tenants and stances and she enjoys learning a new discipline. The whole staff is professional, great teachers. Definitely a place for kids to start training in a complete sport and for parents to know their kids are learning in a safe environment.

Now my son has been learning at Shiba for almost 3 years. He loves it. His coaches are so caring. They send updates on his progress and have helped him progress, even when the pandemic hit they were tracking him during confinement. We used marco polo to send updates and they kept making corrections to his forms. Now he has earned his deputy yellow belt. Their commitment to their students and their safety is amazing.

My daughter has very high energy and sometimes has a hard time with self control during classes but the staff has always been amazing and patient with her. She is learning discipline and never once has sbe mentioned someone being impatient with her. She is working towards her green belt and progressing every day!

I've been enrolled at Shiba Taekwondo for over 2 years now and I've never once regretted that decision. I will delay leaving for vacation just to make sure I squeeze that last class in. Master Shiba is one of the most down-to-earth and honorable people I've ever met, but don't think that means she'll go easy on you. She will push you every day to be your best and do your best. Honestly though, everyone there is amazing. All the instructors are helpful, my classmates are like family, and the workout is good. Real good. Don't hesitate to try out a class!

My son and husband go to parent and me taekwon do and absolutely love it! My son was also able to participate in their summer day camp. The activities were so thought out, something for every interest! The kids were socially distanced and the staff was very conscious of being safe. My son had the time of his life meeting new friends, learning about reptiles, doing tae kwon do, learning about being an EMT, and so much more. Mrs. Nowlin had so much patience with the kids and was so understanding. I can’t recommend Shiba Taekwondo enough! 100/10!
