Mike Ayerst does a fantastic job teaching the principles of Choi to all ages, children to adult. Very family friendly! Principles of Choi Kwang Do: Humility Integrity Gentleness Perseverance Self-Control Unbreakable Spirit.

Ayerst Choi Kwang Do is an incredible place to train. The instructors are patient, kind and knowledgeable.

I have been doing Choi ever since I was 7 and now I am 20 years old it has dramatically changed my life. From a timid little boy to an outgoing and confident young man. It has given me a positive outlook on life. This summer I will go from learning Choi to teaching Choi with hopes that I can make an impact on someone the way it did me.

My family and I have trained at ACKD for the past 10 years. All 3 of my girls have learned to be confident and disciplined people through Choi Kwang Do. I love the family atmosphere also. We have several families that train together. I also like the family activities like pizza nights that we do.

Ayerst Choi Kwang Do in Novi is an outstanding training facility. It caters to both individuals and families for training. Michael Ayerst and his team of instructors are very knowledgeable and dedicated. They provide an excellent learning environment for students of any age while making it fun. This program encourages students to excel and learn personal development and leadership. The dojang is very spacious and provides a comfortable training atmosphere. A true gem in Novi.

I have been going to Ayerst Choi Kwang Do for just over three years and it has been the best sport/activity I have done! The owner, Mr. Ayerst, is one of the nicest and most positive people I have ever met! I highly recommend Choi Kwang Do itself to anyone interested in taking a martial art because it is fun, easy to start, and works around your schedule. You can go whichever days of the week you are free and you can go different days each week. I especially recommend going to ACKD because the instructors are very friendly and helpful and the facility is very nice and large.

My son has been in the class for over a year and he LOVES IT!! Great instructors-the kids learn so much and have fun too.

Ayerest Choi Kwang Do is fantastic! It promotes physical fitness, discipline, confidence, and mental well being. The instructor/ owner, Michael Ayerest, is absolutely amazing!! He has been such a positive influence on my son. I strongly recommend it!

Michael Ayerst and team are wonderful people. It's a wonderful family friendly environment. I can't say enough good things about the staff and other families that train there. My entire family trains with him from adults down, elementary, K and a pre-schooler. The principles of CKD are lifelong habits: Humility, Integrity, Self-Control, Unbreakable Spirit, Perseverance, etc....

Ayerst Choi Kwang Do is the epitome of the highest level of character, integrity, honesty, truth, values & morals. Over the last 10 years they have partnered with our church (St. James of Novi) to assist with our annual Self-Respect/Self-Defense workshop for our middle/high school students & young adults of the parish, & we couldn't be more pleased with how wonderful of a job they do year in, year out! Michael & his team are true professionals & their passion for how they teach is reflected in all of the lives they have empowered & hearts they have touched, including my own. I would recommend their organization to anyone who is looking to better themselves or loved ones, especially our youth!

Choi is my therapy and has helped pick me up out of my funk. The Ayerst Family has taken me in, and they have shown me true acceptance and love. On top of all of that, I'm learning to: set goals and achieve them, persevere through adversity, use my voice to stand up for myself, and use self-defense skills in case of immediate danger.

  We love Ayerst Choi Kwang-Do!!! We love that our son learned so much and took pride in what he learned.
