Frances Ibalio (Self-Defense)

My first class for self-defense was jam packed with information, both mental and physical. I learned quite a bit in just an hour! I can't wait to see what else is in store.

Hibah (Taekwondo)

Since I joined Maryam's taekwondo classes, not only have my physical abilities improved, but I became more diligent and consistent in other aspects of my life as well. The sessions always have a variety of different exercises and drills that keep the class challenging yet fun and I look forward to class every week. Maryam is an amazing teacher who keeps us motivated and pushes us to reach our full potential. I'm really grateful to have her as a teacher.

Maryam S. (Taekwondo)

Maryam’s classes are amazing to be a part of. Our classes are fun and challenging, making me work hard to prove myself along with my classmates. Maryam has taught us that taekwondo is not just about fighting, kicking, or punching. Instead, it's about self-discipline, confidence, focus, and improving oneself. Having Maryam as a teacher has taught me all that and more. (Maryam S. has been a student under Maryam for 1.5 years)

Fatima (Self-Defense)

I absolutely loved the class! Before this I was not confident in my skills when encountering danger especially when on campus at night. This class has made me feel so much more confident in my body and what I am capable of doing. Very organized. Master Toor was a wonderful instructor and gave amazing one-on-one feedback. Definitely recommend, especially to beginners.

Zainab (Self-Defense)

This is the second time I've taken this class and it just gets better and better. Maryam brings so much life and energy to the class and she's one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back. I feel SAFE and that means more to me than you could possibly know, and this class gave me that. Thank you.
