| "As I have personally attended John Tucker's Womens Self Defense class, I can attest to its need and effectiveness. My own daughter was attacked after having taken the class with me. She reacted well and was able to scare off her attacker . She was naturally shaken by this unfortunate situation but was unharmed . We are all vulnerable and need to learn how to defend ourselves in a bad situation. John teaches the skills needed to react quickly and with confidence. He instructs with effective one one one demonstrations and covers all types of defense mechanisms. John is hands down one of the best in the business of keeping you safe and well prepared for the worst.

| "John, I enjoyed the class last night. I think one of the biggest benefits women get from a class like this is the chance to feel for even a second how solid a man can be. We often think we could fight our way out of a situation but without the knowledge of how big and strong an attacker can be we aren't prepared. When we did the first drill last night where you grabbed us from behind I was personally shocked by just how difficult it would be to fight out of that. But as a trail runner I know it is a skill I need. " |

| "We had been looking at different martial arts schools in the area for months because our son (now 6) wanted to do "karate", but everywhere we went was too expensive and seemed more like an after school program. We found Maryland State Martial Arts through a friend. When we brought our son in for a class, the instructor really did an excellent job with the kids and was actually instructing them, not their "day care". The schedule and the pricing were exactly what we were looking for and our son has been enjoying moving up in ranks since October 2008!" |

| "I would recommend the youth program to anyone. Master John is one of the best instructors out there. He is very patient with all of the ages he teaches. Master John works well with any child. My son has ADHD and it has given him a way to handle his hyperactivity. " |

| "I have four children, ages 3 to 8, who take taekwondo under Master John. He is great with children and provides them with exactly what they need to learn and have fun while doing so. My oldest daughter is gaining confidence. My two boys are learning discipline. My youngest child is having fun. All of my children love Master John. Maryland State Martial Arts is a great place to send your kids." |

| "I joined the TKD class in March 2009 after watching my 6 year old son enjoy his class so much. I thought it would be a great way to bond with my son, get a good work out and learn to defend myself all at the same time. Since joining I have gained muscle mass I didn't know I had, lost 15 pounds and counting, and have enjoyed every bit of it. The class time works out perfectly with my work schedule, it's never boring, and I have gained knowledge of how to defend myself if attacked!! I would recommend the school and the class to anyone." |

| "I have participated in several Womens Self Defense classes held at Mr. Tucker's school. Each time they taught something a little bit different along with the basics. I always left the class with the confidence to be able to handle situations and to be more alert and aware of everything around me. " |

| "Our 6 year old son has been coming to MDTKD since he was two and a half. He has enjoyed the children's programs Tiny Tigers, Little Dragons, and is currently training to be a Black belt. It's amazing to see how much he has grown over the past three years. He carries himself with confidence and displays a sense of honor and respect among other children and adults. We are very pleased with all he has learned and look forward to the years ahead. " |

| "I was a newcomer to this self defense class, something I always wanted to do for myself being put in difficult situations in my life prior. This time I was able to learn how to keep myself safe along with my two teenage neices who joined the class with me. The techniques taught and the words spoken were a total eye opener to not only me but two young teenage girls. We are now much more aware of our surroundings and look forward to taking more classes." |

| "The Women’s Self Defense program at MDSMA / Maryland Taekwondo offers a way for women to learn how to protect themselves in many situations. Being a 30-year female that travels by herself alot or with my 10 year old daughter I have learned many different ways to help save myself from many bad situations that could happen. Allowing my daughter to take this class with me I have enabled her to be more aware of her surroundings and hopefully give her many ways she could defend herself if she is put in that situation." |
