WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
Parent We can't say enough about how wonderful this school has been for our kids. It's been a bonding experience for them both, has a great balance of fun and discipline, and encourages a growth mindset. Master Torres and the coaching team are great with kids and dojang has a great family atmosphere.
Parent We love this Dojo!! It is the perfect balance of fun and discipline. All of the instructors truly care about their students and really individualize the class for every one. My son has a physcial disablity and this has given him so much confidence. He has been taking classes since last March and he still loves it and this has been an issue for him in the past. If you are sitting on the fence I highly recommend you choose this dojo. You wont be disappointed.
Parent Our 3 children are currently attending Taekwondo Wellness. Since they have started, they have been able to acquire a balanced Taekwondo curriculum. Not only are they learning physical skills, they are also learning social and emotional skills. We are incredibly grateful to Master Torres and his staff of coaches. We highly recommend Taekwondo Wellness
Parent When my son starting going here he could barely sit still for two seconds. Since attending he is able to meditate for two minutes and has improved focus in school. I would recommend TKD Wellness to anyone who has a child with a lot of energy looking to improve their overall wellbeing. The coaches are fun & patient and truly care about all the students.
Parent Our family is enjoying Master Torres' classes. We like his patience with the younger students and his teaching style as a whole. My oldest son particularly enjoys being part of the competition team and we look forward to many more classes.
