    Global TaeKwon-Do - Black belt testing

    My husband has been coming her for years, and he loves TaeKwonDo. Global is a part of the ITF-…read moreInternational TaeKwonDo Federation- which always makes me think of the Star Trek federation, but is actually quite different. Master Howard leads the classes in patterns, sparring, and board breaking, from beginner to advanced. Master Howard is a seventh degree black belt (out of a possible nine) and has a wealth of knowledge for any level of TKDer. No one is too young or old to TKD. From age 5 to 105, there are all ages, genders, physical backgrounds, and professions that participate. TKD is a great work out and self defense training. I've taken a few beginner classes, but TKD just isn't my cup of tea. The students that come here are very energetic, ready to learn, and train hard. They have regular belt-testing and bi-yearly black belt testing, so if you work hard you can advance fairly quickly. They have several students that compete on a national and international level, so if you're looking for motivation to get in shape, they'll do it. Seating is limited, so if you're here to observe a class or belt testing, be sure to arrive a bit early and bring a blanket - they keep the dojo quite cold, so that the students don't get too hot.

    Taking our son to Global Taekwon-Do is one of the best decisions we've made. Master Howard is a…read more7th degree black belt, and does a phenomenal job teaching all of his students from young children and non-athletes to mature adults and those wanting a demanding challenge. He also trains the students to teach and lead as well, which helps with many other facets of their lives. Consequently he has many well-equipped black belts to help with classes. Since starting at Global Taekwon-Do one year ago, we have seen drastic improvements in physical strength and flexibility, coordination, confidence, self-control, self-discipline, and respectfulness. The schedule is very accomodating and students may go to class however often they want to, be it once aweek, or up to 5 times a week, for the same monthly dues. There are price breaks for multiple members of the same family. It's a great inter-generational activity, as parents and children can go to class at the same time and advance through the levels together. We HIGHLY recommend Global Taekwon-Do. It's FUN, very beneficial and a great place to make friends and get exercise!.

I bumped into the owner (TKD & BJJ Black Belt instructor) Jimmy Holmes before they opened this new location as I was peering through the windows after getting a coffee next door. I ended up getting a full tour of the facility & the plans for their use of the back building to be a competition/tournament sized mat space with a weight training setup as well. It is a beautiful facility, they're still doing upgrades here & there, but my favorite little fact about it is that the dumbbell rack in the back goes all the way up to 150lbs!! They offer a great selection of youth classes with a mix of high level men & women instructors. The team, THE TEAM!! They have competition medal winners across the board in martial arts & a great team atmosphere! Boys, girls, men, women, tons of competitors & winners, but minimal ego. Personally, I was only living here while I completed an internship for my degree program, but they've been very welcoming & accommodating during my short stay with them. I look forward to visiting in the future & getting some rolls in on a Sunday Open Mat or Warrior Wednesday where we just roll 10 rounds in lieu of a structured BJJ class. All love, I'll be back!

    It's not just a dojo it's family. Thank you Jimmy & Hope for…read moreall your hard work and dedication you give to every student.
