While looking for a way to improve my son's focus, gross motor skills, and all around athleticism, we tried talking with several instructors in martial arts classes. None were as open, receptive, and ready to give honest feedback as Mr. Chris Shoemaker, the current owner of Ridgeland Taekwondo.
Now we've been in classes for almost 6 months and there are no regrets in the decision to put the journey in his hands. There is a tangible care given to each student in their progress by Mr. Shoemaker and his black belt instructors.

Congratulations to everyone for being a father of children who like this beautiful sport. I have twins, they are already in green belt in Honduras and I want to get gloves, helmet and shoes. Does anyone recommend where I can find that taekwondo equipment here in Jackson? Please, I don't know here very well. I have been arriving for a month
We have been going here for almost 3 years now. As a Family. Our little boy goes to his class, then we do ours. And our son does his homework while waiting for us. We notice a big and good improvement on our sons behavior. Mr.Conway enforces and teaches the Tenets of Taekwondo, not just in class but in real life application too. Bahavior/Character/Academics. 🏆🥇It feels like extended Family. Mr.Conway also ensures Cleanliness and Sanitation in his Classroom. Our Family Highly Recommends Ridgeland Taekwondo. 🥋🥋🥋
