My kids and I all take classes at Vision Martial Arts Wake Forest. We love it there so much! Ms. Neikirk is an amazing instructor. She keeps classes engaging, challenging, and fun. It's an extremely positive and supportive environment where students learn so much more than Taekwondo: life and leadership skills, respect, and confidence.
I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for an activity for their kids, for themselves, or for the whole family!

We are officially four years in, and without hesitation, this has been one of the best investments we’ve ever made in our daughter’s future. From day one, we felt genuinely welcomed and supported, with a clear understanding that this is more than just a place for fun—it’s a place built on structure, discipline, and character.
Our daughter is now 8 years old, and the growth we’ve seen in her is remarkable. She knows how to speak up with confidence, express her opinions respectfully, and show courtesy to everyone she encounters. Those lessons extend far beyond the mat and into her everyday life.
Ms. K Neikirk is truly a gem. The respect and trust our daughter has for her warms my heart—it means everything to know she feels safe, valued, and guided by someone she trusts almost as much as her parents. Mrs. Archer and Ms. Archer are equally phenomenal, nurturing each student with genuine care while remaining firm and focused on the values and skills the academy stands for.
As our daughter works toward achieving her Black Belt, we can clearly see how this experience is shaping her into a confident, kind, and disciplined young human being, with integrity at the core of who she is becoming. We are beyond grateful for the impact this academy has had on her life and wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking to truly invest in their child’s development. This is absolutely the way to go.

My son has been going to Vision Martial Arts - Wake Forest for about 5 months now. I can't tell how much he loves working with Ms. Neikirk, Mrs. and Ms. Archer and Ms. Farwig. They are instructing in an enthusiastic, firm, clear and fun way and everyone in the class love participating!
There's all kinds of age groups, taking the same lessons according to their level and I love seeing them all practicing together, littles, teens and adults.
I highly recommend this school!

Our family has been part of Vision Martial Arts in Wake Forest since 2023, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience.
The instructors Ms. Neikirk, Mrs. Archer, Ms. Archer and Ms. Mackey are incredibly intentional and truly care about each student’s personal journey. They don’t just teach martial arts, they help build character, resilience, and a strong sense of responsibility. We have watched our children transform, becoming more self-assured, focused, and proud of their accomplishments.
Vision Martial Arts has been such a positive part of our lives, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a program that supports both physical and personal growth.

I cannot express enough how transformative my experience at Vision Martial Arts in Wake Forest has been! As an adult, stepping into a martial arts school felt daunting, but the incredible instructors, Ms. Neikirk, Ms. MacKay, and Ms. Archer, made all the difference.
From day one, they created a welcoming and supportive environment that encouraged me to push my limits. Their expertise and passion for teaching shine through in every class. They not only focus on technique but also emphasize personal growth, which has significantly enhanced my self-confidence.
Each lesson is filled with motivation, constructive feedback, and a genuine belief in the potential of each student. I'm amazed at how far I've come, and I owe so much of that progress to their unwavering support and encouragement.
If you're looking for a place to learn martial arts that fosters growth and self-improvement, I wholeheartedly recommend Vision Martial Arts in Wake Forest. Thank you, Ms. Neikirk, Ms. MacKay, and Ms. Archer, for everything!
