We tried two other taekwondo schools, one was based in attendance, the other was not a good fit and then we did two trial classes at KATKD and I knew it was the perfect fit for my 10 yr old daughter. Its instructors are encouraging, the students are very supportive, and Ms.Martinez is amazing as a teacher and someone who genuinely cares for all her students from white belts up. Don’t just drive by, stop in for a class for sure.
I have been a member for 11 years now. The Martinez family is very family orientated. They strive to teach your kids not only Martial Arts but to be a better leader and person as a whole. Along with Olympic TKD there is a woman's fitness class and Kumdo which is the art of using a sword.
The only way I can describe the KATKDA is,......it's home. <3
