Gabel Martial Arts Summerville

My son has attended Gabel Martial arts since we moved to Summerville. Being a part of their martial arts family has been one of the best experiences of our lives. Master Gabel and his team teach and lead in a way that students learn, while additionally holding an incredibly high level of expectation and standard for their students. It’s been such a rewarding to watch not only my son grow through the ranks, but seeing others of all ages achieve great things and grow. I would unequivocally recommend Gabel Martial Arts and can’t understate the positive impact they’ve had on my son and our entire family on so many levels.

We signed our son up for the 10 day trial in January and did the full signed up on the second day; their class and origination is that great! We even started him in the after-school program that provides transportation from the school to their facility! The instructors and staff here are amazing at what they do! Thank you Gabel, we're proud to be part of your program!!

So far we are really enjoying our experience with Gabel Martial Arts! We attend the Summerville location. We did the free trial at first (which is a 10 day pass! That is amazing compared to typical trial periods). While in the trial I realized there were Martial Arts schools much closer to us, in the North Charleston area so we considered not signing up but we just fell in love with the environment here. It’s worth the drive for us. From day one when we came in, we were greeted with a friendly welcome and they call my son by his name! I love that. The other parents are all so nice and friendly, too! Each of the instructors and helpers are attentive and help out with the kids all during class. They pay attention if a child is a little lost/behind or not focused and they helpfully encourage them and assist with the moves. My son is only 3 (almost 4) so a little young but I can see he has made some improvements since day one. We can’t wait to see all that he achieves with Gabel. He just loves coming to class each week! We are new in Charleston and SC so we don’t have a social circle for our kids or ourselves! So we wanted to get him involved in something. Also another thing I really love is how they meet 4 days a week for my son’s group and we can pick any 2 days out of the week to bring him. We aren’t restricted to a certain day! So if he misses a class he can still come a different day that week. I highly recommend this program!

First time for our son trying something like this out! They have classes for older kids and the littles. We tried out both & expressed we’d like to go with Little Dragons. The size of the class is good, the instructors/teachers are very helpful. I know my son enjoys his time.

I enjoy watching my grandson Travis and my great grandson Jonny learning their Taekwondo skills. I'm very impressed with all of the instructor's one-on-one assistance when demonstrating the proper techniques for each Taekwondo skill. The entire staff at Gabel is helpful to their students while exhibiting that positive attitude and care one expects from any athletic training facility but unfortunately seldom experiences. Gabel is a top notch impressive organization!

My son Steph has been going to GMA for over a year. It has improved his focus a lot. Still working on it but definitely have some improvement. He loves coming to practice. He absolutely loves Ms. Madison and Mr. Eddie. All of the instructors works well with the kids. Even the instructors in training. They have so much patience.

We signed our child up for the Summerville locations 10-day free trial and were so impressed from the very first class. The instructors are high energy, patient, and really great with the kids. Our son had so much fun that he decided to continue. He’s been improving every week and has gained so much confidence.
