Our daughter started a few months and she loves it there. I can't recommend this place enough. Everyone is so nice and the kids are always helping each other.

It has been a great part of our lives for 3 years. There is an amazing sense of community and the skills my son has learned will stay with him for a lifetime. Grand Master Chavez is always growing and adapting as she needs to, to keep the love of tae kwon do alive!

I met Master Chavez back in the mid 90s as an 11 year old black belt in Taekwondo, who had just moved to New Mexico. She was such an amazing instructor and helped guide me to the Junior Olympic. Here 25 years later, she still has made a lasting impression and memories. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn martial arts or compete at a national level in Taekwondo!

This is the best martial arts dojang I've ever been to. I've been with Grand Master Chavez for 4 years now and I love it. Not only do we teach Martial Arts but we also teach respect for our instructors and for our parents.

We've had all three of our kids practicing martial arts with Grand Master Chavez for the last 6 years. GM Chavez not only demonstrates incredible skill--she is one of the highest ranked belts in the Albuquerque area and has been practicing since 1978-but her commitment, care, and passion for the children is unparalleled. My oldest, who is almost 14, has benefited the most from the instruction she's received under GM Chavez's tutelage. At Takai Mine, Madison found a community of incredible and dedicated teenagers, a safe outlet for anxiety and stress, and a loving mentor who helps
