This is no-frills full training experience that will get you in shape (and the fitness combat…read moreclasses do a GREAT job of that) with SUPER knowledgeable staff. Already a 5 star experience! But Jeremy's kindness and patience and dedication to his craft is what made me need to review. Given the Delta variant surge, and the ability for vaccinated people to be carriers...I'm not in the best position to participate given my baby niece's immunocompromised status (who, as an infant, isn't vaccinated), and Jeremy worked with me to find a solution that helps me make sure my niece is safe and looked after, but making sure I knew the door stayed open for my own training. God bless TDT and their staff, and their members who go out of their way to motivate and encourage. If you need a gym routine that shakes up the old and in an exciting way, get on the mat and have some fun!!!! I personally can't wait to go back .

Getting the blood pumping. The rest is technique. You will learn a lot of great stuff to use should you have to.

Classes are offered 4x a week but you can set your own schedule so there is plenty of flexibility. Give it a shot

He expects excellence at the gym and out of the gym - for example, one child had a bad behavior report from school and he was given a writing assignment by Coach Jones to hand in during next class (300 lines! A great learning lesson). He provides these kids life skills on how to be a responsible adult in life. For example, the boys had homework to go home and learn to tie a necktie. Another time, they had to all write a paragraph about why they love their parents and had to read it in front of the class because Coach Jones said public speaking is a very important skill for a leader. I love his style and commitment to building strong and capable adults. Highly recommend!

A few years ago a close friend said her son was going to test out a taekwondo class and asked if I…read morewould want to take my daughter to try it. She absolutely loved it and we joined (for a year) after that first class. She had previously been in dance for 3 years and it just wasn't her thing. She almost always wants to go to class and has made friends there. Mr G is AMAZING. He is patient as can be with the kids but doesn't let them walk over him and ensures they're respectful (not interrupting, focusing, polite to others, saying sir and mam.) He is soon testing for his 6th degree black belt. The kids love him. The cost isn't bad at all considering your children can go 5-6 days a week most weeks if you want them to. My daughter went 4-5 days a week for a while, we did zoom classes during Covid, and have been back in person for a while now. We moved from Southpark where we were 10 mins from class and now are 25-30 WITHOUT traffic and it's been a year since moving and I still can't imagine switching her. We usually only go 2 days a week now usually because of the drive, but my daughter practices a lot at home too. Initially, equipment needed is minimal; however, if they're going to stick with it, you should invest in the gear. She gets to test for her black belt in September!

Were so great with the kids and kept them entertained the entire time. They showed tricks and wowed the guests, let each guest chop a board, and even helped the birthday boy cut his cake with a giant samurai sword. This will go down as my favorite birthday party for sure. I was so impressed with the two instructors. Although they were only 16 years old, you'd be hard pressed to find more engaging instructors. They seriously blew me away. Extremely well spoken and friendly, they remembered every single child name. They were welcoming, attentive, And even helped me set up. I think they even had all of the parents paying close attention to the instruction. And so many of the parents commented on how impressed they were as well. Such a fantastic job!!!
