Our 6 year old son tried this for the first time tonight and absolutely loved it!! He's very shy and timid but just one class and he is elated! The best thing about Kang's is that he is able to try it out first before we commit to payin . It's a no-brainer, though, we will be joining! I'm extremely pleased with the COVID rules within the academy as well. It's clean, friendly and the kids were having fun! Our son learned a lot in the first trial day and that says a lot about this academy!

My daughter started as a little dragon in 2012 when she was 3+ and will soon be a black belt. I have seen her grow not only in her skills but also in confidence. Mr Jox treats each and every student with respect and encouragement which goes to influences how they would and should perceive themselves and lead their lives. I think this is the best thing I could have done for my daughter. The students here learn not only martial arts but also life skills.

Kang's is an awesome Tae Kwon Do school. I started my son in the Little Dragons class and was so impressed with his progress that I signed myself and my daughter up. We've all learned so much. I feel good knowing that my family can defend ourselves should anything happen. I highly recommend this class.
