I got picked on a lot in school. By sheer, dumb, luck... I happened onto these people. My parents had no idea what to look for, just that these guys were in the area doing martial arts and that martial arts are supposed to be good for building confidence, self-esteem, fitness... all that. And it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Save yourself the trouble of shopping around. If you're in the area, go to Omaha Blue Waves.
Benjamin ThompsonOmaha Blue waves is an outstanding Taekwondo / Hapkido School, operated by a Hall of Fame Inductee, Grandmaster Jeff Helaney. Omaha is fortunate to have such a quality school and team within their community
Eddie MinyardI saw so many people talking about a lady called Mrs Linda james and i kept wondering if she is really an expert trader like they say and not a scammer like the others, then i contacted her and i was shocked and amazed that with just $1000 i invested, Brenda helped me managed my account and after few days of trading, i made my first withdrawal of $12,900. I’m so happy sharing this testimony with you all, you can contact her via WhatsApp or email and make good profit WhatsApp:+1(832) 324-5625 Email:lindajames0337@gmail.com

Reece MarionThe staff are extremely knowledgeable in not only the practice of the art itself but its historical significance and core values. There is good mix of working hard and having fun during class.
Helen SunOur family loves Blue Waves! My daughters take taekwondo classes and tumbling classes. I take taekwondo as well! OBW feels like an extension of our family. Everyone is always willing to help you achieve your goals and encourage you along your journey. I started my black belt journey as a grown adult, and was met with encouragement and excitement by my teachers and classmates. They teach more than martial arts; they are helping me with my mission to raise respectful, responsible and courteous adults. I get to learn along side my kids and be the example I want to be to them.

Helen Sun2023-08-14OBW is a dojang where everyone is welcomed and embraced for what makes them unique and what makes them strong. I trained here during the brief time I spent living in Omaha and never felt more at home in a city so different from where I’m from. GM Helaney and all the teaching staff are great at creating a learning environment that is both productive and fun. I enjoyed how concept-focused their teaching style is; it helped me learn faster and truly understand effective self defense strategies. They also have great respect for the Korean culture behind the art form.
Corey Ostby2023-07-20I’m a former TKD practitioner now in my late 40s who was looking for a different type of martial art to try. I decided to try Hapkido at Omaha Blue Waves and I am more than happy with my decision. Grandmaster Helaney and his family are extremely knowledgeable and have a wealth of experience and Mr. Humphrey is an excellent instructor. The Hapkido group is very welcoming and always happy to help practice a technique or concept. I have arthritic knees and that has not been a hindrance to this point as I look forward to continuing in hopes of achieving a black belt one day. I encourage anyone to come in and see what Blue Waves has to offer.
Chelese Short2022-12-28Our son has been part of the Omaha Blue Waves family for about 11 years. The leadership and comradery of this martial arts facility is truly one of a kind and is something we are grateful to be a part of. Highly recommend for anyone considering their martial arts journey!
Scott Dykema2022-12-21Omaha Blue Waves if such a fun family atmosphere where your kids (and adults) can learn to love exercise, martial arts, and leadership skills. Hapkido was especially great for me. Our family loves the day we found this place!
Maureen Fulton2022-12-04We held our son’s 5th birthday party here in Dec. 2022. I had been looking for something a little different for a party, as we have been to several kids’ parties at BounceU and SkyZone. I spoke with Jeff and Michele and they told me about what they offered for a 1.5 hour party; but that I could also customize it. They honestly understated the experience; it was an amazing birthday party and my son and his friends had a blast. Many of the kids who came had not tried martial arts before so a few were hesitant, but most jumped right into the mini martial arts class that started off the party. One thing that blew me away was the number of staff they had there for the party. I had expected 1-2 but there were 4-5 staff members there to assist in teaching the kids. The staff was clearly very good working with kids as they were quite patient when some were running around. The parents also loved how Jeff and Michele could get the kids to be quiet and listen! :) there were many other aspects of this experience that were great; I could go on and on. But I will end with saying, I had researched other martial arts facilities for parties and this was the only one I saw that let every kid at the party have a chance to break a board (as opposed to just the birthday kid). The kids who tried this LOVED it. Such a cool experience. Thank you, Jeff, Michele, and team!
Jill Rath2022-12-03We are so grateful for OBW team. The instructors are wonderful. My son feels so welcomed and respected. I LOVE that taekwondo is a whole mind and body journey at OBW. it is a legit second home for our family!
Michaela Sherrets2022-11-19My son has been doing TKD at Omaha Blue Waves for just over a year and he absolutely loves it! He has learned so much already and we’ve noticed him come out of his shell and become so much more confident..
chaos bunny2022-09-14Our son has found a great team of leaders at Blue Waves to help guide him. Not only in Taekwondo but in learning skills like respect, dedication, hardwork, time managerment, helping without being asked, and making healthy eating choices. As a parent sometimes they don't want to listen to us. Its been such a great resource/outlet for our son! We love Blue Waves for their encouraging training techniques and highly recommend going and doing a test class if you're on the fence!
Ce Hansen2022-08-28Our family LOVES Omaha Blue Waves! Their staff is amazing. They are knowledgeable, compassionate, and excited to help each person on their martial arts journey. They are committed into building to each of their students not just as a martial artist, but to building character as well.
Christopher Silligman2022-07-06I've been with this as I'd call family for 15 years now as a student and then became an instructor not to long ago. They are great people that do amazing things. Martial Arts is a different experience that I believe everyone should have the chance to do.
