“The staff is wonderful, and the environment is very positive and supportive. The head and black belt instructors are experts, know how to teach, and are especially patient with the younger students. Couldn't be happier and more impressed with this place in the early goings. I also like that they teach original taekwondo, which emphasizes self defense and integrates use of both hands and feet over Olympic style (sport) taekwondo, which concentrates on kicking. A fantastic overall experience for my son.”
