"I have not been this body weight in 20 years. Come to think of it, I am healthier, weigh less and am more fit today than I was in my 30's due to my introduction to Chon-Ji Martial Arts and the instruction in Taekwon Do by Dennis Alvey three years ago. Truly exercise with a purpose and that purpose is self defense and good heath. I am 50 years old and attend classes three times a week and I am a blue belt."

"Mr. Alvey is an encouraging, knowledgeable, and professional instructor. His classes are fun and well organized. I not only increased my strength, endurance and flexibility, but I also became more motivated and confident."

"I have trained [under] Mr. Faivre for almost three years, and I can say that he is an excellent instructor. Not only is Mr. Faivre knowledgeable in the martial arts, but he is also very approachable and exceptionally fun to work with. He works to establish a good rapport with his students because he values the relationship between student and instructor. Mr. Faivre's expertise in Taekwon-do, weaponry, and Hapkido make him an invaluable asset, and his student-centred approach to teaching makes each and every class enjoyable."
Deborah Leung (1st degree black belt)
"Mr. Alvey is an excellent teacher." These were among the first words I heard from one of his black belts when I started training with him. And they were true. He has always inspired me to train harder, to keep learning and to strive for perfection... and the art. And while perfection is unattainable, the art is not."

“Mr. Alvey's attention to detail is one of the things that I appreciated most about studying with him; his knowledge of the art, his ability to impart not only the technical, physical aspects of the art, but also his emphasis on the philosophies of the art, and the way he challenges his students to become leaders and better all-around people… these are all reasons he is such a great instructor. I would highly recommend him.”
