Hanmi Tae Kwon Do Academy
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about this school and Grandmaster. My son is extremely energetic (and that may be putting it nicely 😂), and one of the biggest things we’ve struggled with is teaching him self-control and discipline. He also does jiu jitsu, which we love, but the change we’ve seen in him since starting taekwondo here has been on a completely different level.
The kids are taught by Grandmaster himself, who is an 8th-degree black belt, and I feel incredibly lucky that my son gets to learn from someone with that level of experience. But what I appreciate most about him actually has very little to do with his belt. He truly cares about these kids.
He is strict, and he absolutely expects them to listen and behave, but you can also see that he has such a soft spot for children. He knows how to be firm without being unkind, and somehow my very rowdy little boy actually listens to him! 😂 Even more importantly, those lessons are coming home with us. We’ve seen such a big improvement in his behavior, listening, manners, and ability to control all that wild little-boy energy.
Grandmaster also teaches them so much more than taekwondo. He teaches them to respect their parents and elders, to behave properly around their friends, to listen when someone is speaking, and to treat others with respect. I really love that the focus isn’t just on raising good martial artists, but on helping raise good kids.
As a parent, I’m just genuinely grateful for this school. It means a lot when you find a teacher who sees your child, understands their personality, and cares enough to help guide them in the right direction. We originally signed our son up to learn taekwondo, but what he’s learning about discipline, respect, confidence, and character has ended up meaning so much more to us.
Thank you, Grandmaster, for caring about our little wild child and for everything you continue to teach him. We truly appreciate you and this school more than you know.”
