Resurgence Martial Arts

Always appreciative of Mr. Koivisto's insight and expertise. Resurgence is a great atmosphere in which to train. Love that our kids have had such an excellent experience too!

Everyone is so welcoming and doesn't make a new person feel bad that they don't know a move! The instructors really want the students to succeed!

Appreciate the patience and understanding of the instructor.

Had a lot of fun! Don't judge you by your rank. Treats everyone with respect.

Good pace, appropriate challenge level.
Allowed advanced learners to work independently while helping newer learners.
Enjoyable!

It is always nice to get feedback on how we perform our techniques so that we can adjust what has to be done in order to perform them better. The way you had us try to approach how to do a round kick did change my kick a little bit too, I felt more stable.

Sparring days are always great. I enjoy them a lot and look forward to every single one - which is funny because I was so hesitant at the beginning. It would be nice to have them more than once a month.

The class kept everyone moving and engaged, and covered a variety of techniques and material!

Appreciate the various approaches of/to training

Great teacher and great kids who help out ... they do great considering the chaos of trying to teach young tigers

The single best choice I made for myself & kids! We have been with Resurgence for five years now, my oldest and I just tested for our first level black belt. Our lead instructor Mr. Justin Koivisto is an exemplary example of leadership and work ethic. He authentically cares about all the students and meets each as an individual… working on not only the physical aptitudes for martial arts but also those mental challenges we each face and are different for each individual. All of the instructors exhibit this same attitude; they challenge, encourage and admonish appropriately. The activity of martial arts is what brought me through the door, but what keeps us here is the friendships we have built, the experiences we have shared, the code we conduct ourselves by, and the most important element— the family we have gained not just here but throughout our region and beyond. I have never joined anything before - now I cannot imagine not being a part of WTSDA and my kids as they think about college have on their priority list in that process the ability to continue their training in TSD! I could not have dreamed of the impact joining martial arts would have on all of us, and I could not ask for or imagine more!
 

Child really likes class, is in Tiny Tiger's. She looks forward to it each week

I believe class is always been fun and great, the teachers are always been caring, courteous and respectful. It would be nice that we train outside in nature in summer or so, and change routine sometimes to train with variety.

Y’all are amazing. Every class is awesome and well planned even the not planned ones.

Our son has really been enjoying the structure and material application in Wednesday & Thursday classes. He says it makes him feel good to see that he's not the only one who forgets things sometimes and that it's ok to just try again.
