Even after 20 years of being a student I must say Elite Taekwondo Center is the best when it comes…read moreto instruction and discipline. Grandmaster Arnold was my master 20 years ago and now he is the master of my children and friends' children. Elite Taekwondo Center has the most experienced, supportive, and skilled masters/instructors. The grandmaster has a passion not only for Taekwondo but for all his students and that passion is also visible in the masters/instructors. Every student is treated with respect and care. Elite Taekwondo is known for its family-like atmosphere at each Elite Taekwondo Center location and it is also displayed when the different locations meet up for events and/or tournaments. Taekwondo has taught my children respect for self and others and self-discipline. It has built their self-confidence and self-esteem. In addition it has improved their hand-eye coordination and increased their ability to focus. Taekwondo is good for the whole child. It is not just a physical sport but it trains the whole body and mind. I highly recommend Elite Taekwondo Center!

A long over due review of Elite TDK Center…read more Growing up Asian, we all at one point in life learned TDK and followed the teachings of the sport in some way one or the other. Now that we have become parents, sending our 5 year old son to TDK was one the best decisions ever! All the Masters here are fully trained and equipped to train and mold our little ones. They are patient, kind, and most of all love our kids as much as we do! We look forward to having our little ones grow up and build a strong relationship with the sport here and most importantly, learn to love the sport as much as we did as kids/young adults. Thank you Elite TDK! You guys are the best hand downs! Choong Hyo!

She was nervous at first, but to our surprise, she absolutely loved her initial sessions. Master Nagayama and his team of black belt instructors strike a perfect balance between being firm and constructive, making the classes both engaging and encouraging. My daughter never felt intimidated, which was a huge relief as a parent. The facility itself is spacious, with plenty of seating for parents to comfortably watch their kids. The overall ambiance is welcoming and supportive, creating a great environment for young learners. Highly recommend if you're considering martial arts for your child!

We really enjoy the life lessons that this studio has brought in to my son's life. We also enjoy that this studio doesn't give belts away but makes the students truly earn them.

Worthy accomplishments are often earned through hard work and practice.

I have to drive several miles to bring my 3 year old here. We drive past about 5 other Dojos to get…read moreto this one. I brought her in for the introductory special and now we're stuck. It's too good to take a chance on the others. Her instructor Tristan La Favor is the truth. He leads the kids with confidence but leaves his ego out of it. If your kid is wimpy, shy, out of shape, or wild and over confident (like mine), just make the commitment, spend the money, and take the time to bring your kid in as many times a week as you can. It will make a difference. In just two moths I have seen a huge difference in my girl. I asked a few questions on facebook messages before going for the first time and got some pretty quick & earnest responses, so maybe start there. The owner is a bit intense so if he ever starts yelling at you for some strange reason don't take it too seriously or personally, he will forget about it the next day. The studio is clean, spacious and street parking is decent, or with validation parking in the lot is 2 bucks. We're happy we gave this place a shot.

We actually travel quite a distance just to train with him, because there really is no comparison - Master Hwang is the best.

Our son has been going to DDTKD for about 4 years now so this review is long overdue. I cannot…read morespeak highly enough about these classes. Grandmaster Kim has developed a great studio and set of instructors that understand how to teach children at different levels. Master Sun and the other instructors provide an environment that is structured - that focuses on learning the basics of TKD while simultaneously learning about discipline, focus, and building confidence. Besides the benefits of the physical activity, I really believe that it has immensely helped our son develop respect, concentration, and composure. As a bonus, they also offer regular fun events, like movie night, friend nights, classes for parents, and can also host birthday parties! If your child is interested in learning TKD and experiencing the many benefits, I would give the trial class a chance and see for yourself!
