This school is amazing. Nothing short of amazing! My son entered this school struggling with his left and right, with his self-esteem, his self-control and a whole host of other challenges. He was too bashful to even gihap! I wasn't sure if he would make it in among such amazing students. Needless to say he certainly knows his left and his right now. In just a few short months he has transformed into a confident student :) Now he is very vocal and takes everything he learns very seriously. One of the strategies they implement is allowing the students to teach one another, a concept I think is under

Aster Nelson so genuinely cares for each kid under his care and teaches so much beyond taekwondo. The respect he instills in them is amazing.

I absolutely love this program for my son! Master Nelson is very down to earth and knows what he is doing! Not only is my son excited to come to class everyday but I'm excited to see the progress he has made it such a short time. I love when I come to pick up my son the class is well-managed, the kids are focused and all the parents are happy. Should you decide to bring your child here you will be very impressed with their growth and their interaction with the other students. The good part about master Nelson he also teaches adults as well one of these days I'm going to have to give one of those

If you're looking to put a child in Taekwondo look no further! Master Nelson is the best of the best! He is fun, firm, and expects nothing but the best from the kids. He teaches courtesy, integrity, self control, and self confidence. No one leaves class without it. Super impressed!!!!

My five year old daughter attends classes and will be attending summer camp. Master Nelson is great with her and all the kids in his program. I recommend his program to anyone looking for after school care or summer program that your child will more than just play.

I have a seven-year-old foster child who has anger issues and behavioral issues. Master Nelson has done wonders with him in the last three months. He just recently achieved yellow belt and is really looking forward to his orange belt. Mr. Nelson regularly works with kids with emotional disabilities, autism, and behavioral issues. I would highly recommend him for a child with problems or a child who is just interested in the martial arts. His prices are more than fair and there are no upsell‘s to make you pay more, and more, and more every month. The kids love him, the parents are happy with what

Learning authentic Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido, In Tae Kown Do, we practice various kinds of kicking, forms of each belt level, and sparring. In Hapkido, we learn defense techniques. I enjoy exercising there, it's enough amount of workout.
