“I studied Pai Lum with Sifu Post about 15 years ago, after which i moved to the northwest, it made such a huge difference in my self discipline and understanding of hard work that it stuck with me all the way through my high-school career into my adulthood. Recently ive begun taking lessons again online with Sifu Post all the way from the northwest and even through the screen has been able to teach me and get me back on track. Its amazing how things come back when you love them! Im so excited to have my Sifu back, 10/10 the only Martial art I would recommend on a personal basis. You WILL improve and you WILL get stronger and more in touch with your body. Even online!“

Thank you so much to James and his wonderful team.“

“Universal Taekwondo is incredible! I had the pleasure of witnessing their students and coaches during the Open Colorado Cup Tournament we hosted, and I was truly impressed. Their students are strong, disciplined, and highly skilled — a true reflection of the dedication and expertise of their coaches. We recently sent two of our students to join this school because they moved, and we are so confident they are in excellent hands. The coaches at Universal Taekwondo genuinely care about their students’ growth and success. Their passion, professionalism, and encouragement create an environment where students thrive and build confidence. Highly recommended!“

“Our daughter loves CTI! The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly care about each student’s growth.

“I've trained in Martial Arts for 10 years. I think a large difference that I've noticed, in my time in this School, is that we Study more than we simply Train. Every class I walk out feeling the effects of the depth and length of study of the Martial Arts. The people here are amazing warriors who not only strive for their own personal best but they push you beyond what you think are your limitations. A sibling-hood I've never experienced in a decade of training in other schools. The instructors are high class with the knowledge and abilities they demonstrate and teach, each bringing their own methods and viewpoints to help broaden our own. The intensity of the training is much more lifelike and is geared towards real world encounters and possibilities; it's not limited to the ideas of the stereotypical "break the wrist and walk away" self defense schools. The mood is always light, the training is very serious, the work can be seen as grueling, but the results are worth it.“

“I highly recommend Golden Tae Kwon Do to anyone looking for an excellent school with amazing instructors. I know that finding a good school can be difficult, and often it can be hard to even know what to look for. Golden Tae Kwon Do is extremely well rounded for very young students and adults of all ages alike. I'm glad they are part of the community and to have found them...“

“Our family had a wonderful experience training with Sensei David and Regev. Two of our children trained under their guidance, and even our youngest – still just a baby – loved being around the energy and excitement of the dojo!
What stood out to us most is how Sensei David has this remarkable ability to balance authority and warmth. He’s firm when he needs to be, but always in a loving and respectful way that makes the children feel supported and confident. His great sense of humor keeps everyone engaged and smiling, even during tough drills.
Both of our kids have grown in focus, confidence, and self-awareness through his teaching. My husband and I have also appreciated the way Sensei David naturally weaves in life lessons about discipline, respect, and resilience — things that go far beyond martial arts.
We truly enjoyed every session and highly recommend this school to any family looking for meaningful, high-quality martial arts instruction in a supportive environment.“

“Master Peterson funny. Gives crisp hive fives. Gives nicknames. Doesn’t buy us Chick-fil-A ?“

“A traditional karate dojo that is a great experience for both kids and adults. There is a strong sense of community, discipline, and a sense accomplishment for students as they progress. My son is excited to come to every class and I never feel pressured that he is getting behind. I would recommend this dojo for any new students of any age that are curious of a unique and fantastic experience“

“This place is awesome!! The instructors know what they are talking about. They are patient with my self and daughter. I feel healthier and stronger.i like it here!!“

“Great teachers. I have loved our teachers since I started back in 2009. The school students are always willing to help. Lots of wonderful material to learn while too, finding your own strength from within. A wonderful place to find self healing as well as ways of fending off attackers. So many goodies within one school. I am definitely proud to have these people as our teachers.“

“My son started at Seo’s at 8 years old.. he ended his 3rd degree Kyosa and instructor career a few year back and I have to contribute his maturity strength and success to his loving and structured training he received at Seo’s, we were not able to pay his tuition many times.. as a matter of fact Seo’s hope foundation provided for my family many years ago and saved us from a dire situation.. My son is on the spectrum and I was told I would care for him forever.. Seo’s took him and gave him confidence and structure and a drive to become a strong independent man.. I absolutely couldn’t be more grateful for Grand Master Seo and Master O’Halleran for their love and guidance for my whole family..“
