I paid close attention to the instruction, technique, discipline, and how the children responded to the masters. At some studios, I was surprised to see very young children wearing black belts that didn't seem earned. My 6-year-old son has been attending ETC for nearly a year, and the difference is evident. Master Paul and Master Jue are deeply committed to teaching proper technique, discipline, and character. They hold students to high standards while still encouraging them, and it shows in the way the children carry themselves. I believe in gentle parenting, but I also believe children need structure and accountability. ETC reinforces those values. My son has great respect for Master Paul, and we've seen significant improvement in his behavior both in and out of class. If you're looking for a Taekwondo studio that focuses on real skill development, discipline, and building respectful young leaders, I highly recommend ETC.

Professor Alfred and Coach Sasha are amazing. They truly care about their students. Alfred explains things thoroughly and will work through any technique you have questions on. My daughter is transitioning to the adult class and she loves it as much as she loves the kids class. Great location , there are free parking lots in the area, close to restaurants and coffee shops. The facility is very clean and well maintained. They offer a free trial class and will loan you a gi if they have your size. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. We've met amazing people/friends here - Alfred, Sasha, the students and parents - everyone is like a family. It feels like home away from home. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

We mainly wanted him to build confidence, learn some self-defense, and have something that would help with his focus discipline and coordination. We've definitely seen a difference. When he started, he didn't really know how to tumble or do things like cartwheels, and now he's doing all of that along with learning actual mounts and pins. The coaches do a really good job keeping the kids engaged and focused, which I know is not easy with a group of 4, 5, and 6 year olds. They make it fun but still teach them a lot. There's a mix of ages and sizes in the class, but everyone is really mindful of the smaller kids and what each child can handle. The coaches, kids, and parents have all been super friendly and welcoming. It's been really nice watching William become more confident and comfortable over the last six months. We've had a great experience with KD MMA Montrose and definitely recommend it!

The other women in the class are equally wonderful and inviting! The kids classes are also incredibly well structured and engaging. The instruction and care that goes into each class is evident by how much the kids enjoy participating and also how much of the new instructions they retain.
