My daughter has been here since she was four (she's about to be 7). She's about to go to the advanced class and she's done their after school program. We absolutely love it here. They are flexible with classes so if you only have time to come twice a week that's fine. If you want to bring them every week day you can and it doesn't cost extra. They're consistent and kind and work with shy kids or energetic kids or a combination. If you're considering putting your kid in taekwondo this is the place to do it.
My kids have been going here for the past two years and they love it. It basically teaches them discipline, they learn to be respectful, they learn how to defend themselves and most importantly they have fun. Thank you guys and keep up the hard work!
It has honestly been a pleasure to be apart of a community so caring. When my daughter's started they were very shy and unsure of themselves. In a short span of time, they have gained confidence and learned to love to come to practice and have fun. Mr. Darby and all the staff here are very nice and attentive!
