We moved to Fairfield about 2 years ago, after just earning our black belt at another school. After…read morewe settled in, it was time for my daughter and I to look for another school. We wanted to continue our TKD journey into the second dan, instead of starting at another martial arts school. We researched a few different places. Some were non responsive, or too far to our liking. We stumbled upon Song Tae Kwon and set up our trial class. We have been going here since December of 2021, and we are very happy with them. Master Song is a great teacher, and teaches the material well. The instructors, masters, and other students are all very helpful and patient. We enjoy going here and learning/improving our forms/curriculum. For anyone looking into starting Tae Kwon Do, I would reccomend this place.

At the same time, my son has slowly progressed through the program and is on his fourth belt, green. Song Academy has small class sizes and several trained adults available to teach the students. Every minute of the class is spent practicing productively. It's the best investment that I have made, to date, in my son's personal development education. I recommend the classes to people of all ages.

The instructors are amazing! My six year old loves them and is so excited to go every time.read more

The students who attend are very dedicated and there is a very personalized, not "factory" environment. It feels like home. Paul trains minds as well as bodies and teaches self-discipline in a very fun way. Paul himself is constantly updating/upgrading his training with international masters, and brings in special guest experts to the Academy. Children are really respected. The classes are appropriately sized and he has very committed assistants. Wonderful opportunity!

All of the staff at The Academy are professional, kind and friendly. They were so wonderful with the kids today and made sure that nothing was forgotten. They found out my daughter's theme and even went above and beyond and purchased Minecraft plates, napkins and tablecloths: An amazing touch! Cutting the cake with a real samurai sword might have been the icing on the cake, of course only after defeating the Jedi master in a light saber battle in the dark! Top notch!! Our youngest is already asking to do his party there next year! We can't wait to see the new space when they move!!

Profit above Quality every time…read more The Amity location of WC TKD is below poor. if I could have chosen no stars, I would. I brought my child there 2.5 years ago. During that time, they have "lost" him twice (the first time he flagged down a stranger on the sidewalk and asked to use his phone to call me.) He has broken his arm. And still, they flag me down on the sidewalk asking for additional fees for equipment, belt advancements, tournaments, and more. Once you child advances to black belt protest, classes are Available only three times per week - and the Saturday morning class is frequently cancelled so they can hold more profitable sessions. So, be prepared to move everything else in your life to accommodate their whims. Parents are not permitted to stay inside the dojo during classes, (so god knows what, if anything good, your child is learning for $250 per month plus extra fees), relegating you to sitting in your car for a 40 minutes session, or shopping at one of the filthy stores in this strip center. Training is "get them through," style, with no character or learning around the craft itself. "Masters" are high school and college students who function without leadership and just try to get commissions for extra charges. No one should take their children here. I am perpetually sorry I stayed as long as I did.

I remembered my son going to UTC as a child. The people were always friendly and patient. I decided to sign up. It's always been a dream of mine to study some sort of marital art. Not for self defense but for the discipline and fun. Master Kwak has delivered on all levels. Even though I'm a beginner he takes the time to work with me and encourage me. I'm so glad I'm doing this. All I can say is that if you're interested in Taekwondo stop by and speak with Master Kwak - you'll be glad you did. Five stars from me!!!

I don't know if the same teachers work there (at the time it was these two Olympic-level teachers that were phenomenal) but that year of learning Tae Kwon Do was one of the best and most important experiences/lessons of my life. Of course you learn the techniques, but they also taught me how to be respectful, discipline and be an overall good person (sounds cliche but it's true). I guess after looking at all the great reviews about 25 years after my experience with this place, their integrity has never wavered and I would recommend this place for sure. I think they also opened a new place in my hometown (next town over from Norwalk) New Canaan.

My daughter had a great time. She was involved in other activities and wasn't able to pursue TKD. By 2017, my younger daughter daughter was show by an interest in martial arts, and I remembered how impressed I had been with World Champion Taekwondo. I asked my friend, who's daughter had invited my older daughter to the party there years ago, about checking it out, and she said she had a pass for a free month trial she could give to me. My younger daughter went for a month and loved it and decided she wanted to continue. My daughter has now been taking classes here for over a year, and she loves it. All the instructors and assistants are various levels of black belts, and the student to instructor ratio is very good. There is not much down time with individual instruction within the group setting. The kids are all very engaged, encouraged to do their best, taught to root for one another, and reminded to do their best both at school and at home with their parents. Master Jang, AJ, and Robert are incredibly skilled and are great with both kids AND adults.
