Master Adrian is a true professional who knows every student in detail and shows care for all the kids. The place is modern and they are COVID 19 vaccinated. My son loves taekwondo and keeps asking me to go every day. Besides being a great teacher Master Adrian shows the kids all the techniques with rare skill and any young martial artist should aim to reach that level. By far, the best taekwondo school in the area.

Darlene Miller

Great after school program.  Master Ian is wonderful with the kids and helps with homework.

Sonja Rhea Figueira

My son is someone who shys away from group classes and finds trying new activities overwhelming.  When to my surprise he expressed an interest in Taekwondo after walking by, I thought we would give it a go. Within a couple weeks he was demonstrating leadership,  within a couple months achieved his yellow belt.  More than anything he is challenging himself and having fun. As a parent,  it's a gift to watch your children discover something that brings out a better version of themselves.  Thank you Master Adrian for your equal approach of reasonable expectations, respect to the art, culture,  and discipline,  and the dose of fun you add.  You are helping children discover their confidence and abilities, and that is a gift to us all!
