Cornerstone Martial Arts is such a great place to learn something new and get you out of your comfort zone.
Mr. Westbrook is an amazing instructor and has the patience of a Saint. He takes the time to answer questions, and we have a lot of them, walks us through the moves as many times as needed.
Cornerstone keeps everyone up to date on upcoming events, from text messages of encouragement to school closings. Such a wonderful school.
Excited about my journey with Cornerstone.
Thank you, Cornerstone!!

Cornerstone Martial Arts Academy is top-notch! They set high expectations and focus on preparing students for life both on and off the mat. Led by Master Dulaney, the skilled instructors provide a holistic approach that enticed me to enroll my 7-year-old. After just six months, I've seen him grow more confident, respectful, and proud of himself. What more could a parent want for their child?
The instructors are incredible, but Mr. Westbrook stands out. He connects with kids at any level, commands their attention respectfully, and genuinely cares about their growth. As a parent of a child with learning challenges, I was amazed by his ability to pinpoint strengths and areas for improvement so quickly.
If you're looking for a program to build a solid foundation for your or your child's future, Cornerstone Martial Arts Academy is the place to go. Huge thanks to Mr. Westbrook and the entire team!

We had a wonderful experience at Cornerstone from the moment we walked in. Jokyo Gaudet made us feel right at home as we began our daughter's journey in martial arts. Her first lessons with Jokyo Gaudet were invaluable, and thanks to her guidance, our daughter was ready and excited to transition to group classes.
As time went on, we had the pleasure of meeting other amazing instructors like Mr. Westbrook, Jokyo Wright, Jokyo Vargas, Jokyo Unna, and Jokyo Schroeder, all of whom have played a significant role in our daughter’s success. We are truly grateful for the support and encouragement she received throughout her journey. Thank you, Cornerstone, for fostering such a positive environment!

Where can I begin.
From the day of enrollment til the day we moved Cornerstone was such a wonderful experience to be a part of. My son who’s was so reserved and kept to himself has become such a different energize young man and I couldn’t be more proud.
Mr. Greene was both patient and stern with my son and his other students.
Commanded respect and gave respect to the kids in the same breath.
He even would play with the kids before and after class if they had time.
After being a part of this program my son is more vocal, he’s more attentive and though we aren’t currently attending he still tells me how happy he is that he got a chance to learn and have fun.
Best after school experience hands down and I recommend this program to any family that wants to teach their children about respect, courage and confidence.

5 months ago I read a lot of reviews, for a lot of martial arts schools near my home. I decided to contact Cornerstone Martial Arts. It was not a mistake, what was meant to be a good experience for my daughter has turned into an excellent experience for my whole family. As she started Tang Soo Do, I restarted my healing journey with their "Healing Warriors Society" now that I am stronger, I have enrolled as a student, as has my other daughter and my husband. I'm my late teens I did American Karate, this time I intend to go all the way to Black Belt. Mrs. Brittany with healing warriors has been great motivation helping me to overcome past injuries. Mr. Westbrook has been wonderful getting my girls motivated, and helping us to overcome obstacles. I really don't regret at all the choice of schools.

I’m in absolute awe of this academy and all of the staff. I heard back from them as soon as I submitted the I treat form while sitting outside another martial arts school got over 30 minutes waiting on someone and numbers provided were out of service. They scheduled a FREE one on one class with my son.
I showed up very expectant but they EXCEEDED my expectations. We walked in to a sign with our names, welcoming us and instantly greeted by Mr. Westbrook! Miss Devyn came up and proceeded to do the one on one with my son. Within that short amount of time, my son stopped interrupting, talking out of turn, and not once asked for my phone while we discussed memberships.
THATS what made me sign up.
Today was his first class which I got to participate in and we had a blast.
Mister Westbrook is an amazing instructor, he’s respectful, he taught me a lot and it was so fun!!! I’m hoping to sign up also sometime in the future.
