“Our daughter has been taking martial art lessons here since she was five years old and our whole family is in absolute adoration with this family-owned school. They genuinely balance respect, honest feedback and positive reinforcement to teach people of all ages. While kids learn the art of taekwondo, there is a huge emphasis on self-awareness, self-defense and personal discipline. Each teacher has a unique style and impressive approach to meet students where their skill level is and effectively guide them through graduated challenges that make them step out of their comfort zone, all the while, building their confidence and core strength. The leadership is a healthy mix of tough love, encouragement, motivation and support. While they were at a larger studio, they would hold huge events where students could bring a friend to enjoy things like Halloween Haunted House and ninja nerf wars. They also have fun activities like parents night out where they host young kids and tweens in an activity-filled night to allow parents a few hours of solitude on evening like Valentine's Day. Other events they encourage kids to attend are martial art tournaments, community events and so much more. There are so many great things about this school, that I could write a few more paragraphs about them. I highly recommend this amazing family-owned and operated martial arts school to anyone looking to hone an art form, fine-tune respect for others, build defense skills, boost self-confidence or have the desire to one day call themselves a black belt. Do not snooze on the sparkling hidden gem of Escondido, Eldred School of Martial Arts.“
