I have nothing but positive things to share about DeVito's Taekwondo. My son, Evan, has been a student of Master D for years and he is one belt away from his black belt. It took a long time to find the right activity for Evan because he really does not like competitive sports. Taekwondo is perfect for him because the competition is really only with himself. This dojang has provided him with a safe and supportive environment where he can go to have fun, move his body, and learn a lot of important life skills. Every time we attend class, Evan is more motivated to practice and do his best!!

Cannot say enough amazing things about this place. I am about to start my 4th week here doing the 16 week kickfit weightloss challenge. This has been one of the best decisions I have ever made to help me take control of my health. If your looking for an amazing workout in a supportive environment taught by dedicated instructors then this is the place for you!!!!!

This is a wonderful place to practice Taekwondo. I practice with my children, 5 and 7 years old. We have learned so much in the last three years. Now my kids are advanced belts and I am a black belt. I really enjoy the opportunity of practicing with them during family class. The quality of the teaching is very high. Master Devito and Master Omar are patient, caring and create a wonderful class environment!

My son started taking lessons at DeVito's a little over a year ago, at the age of 4- he's progressed tremendously, and absolutely loves going. He's not really into team sports, so I thought we'd give it a try. He really likes earning stripes and getting new belts- it's great motivation. The kids really love the staff and have great respect Master D, who couldn't be nicer. He really paces the students and makes sure that belts earned and not given out like candy. The pride on my son's face after he completes a test and earns a new belt says it's all. Highly recommend!

Since she began a few years ago, my daughter’s focus and self control have improved tremendously, but most importantly her confidence has soared. She enjoys going so much that I joined up myself! There’s nothing better than a workout with my kid and the fun-loving instructors at Master D’s; we sweat, laugh, and leave feeling stronger and happier!

We moved to the area during my oldest sons kindergarten year. He was taking lessons in the city and I wanted him to continue here. After some research I found Devito’s. We did a trial and I could tell immediately how wonderful Master D was with kids and how my son took to him. Now my second son is taking and is so happy and comfortable there. Master D cultivates relationships of respect with his students but also knows how to have fun with kids. It is no doubt a family friendly place. The belt tests are like reunions and the love and support for each person testing is palpable. I can’t recommend
