WHAT OUR PARENTS & STUDENTS ARE SAYING

I decided to come here for a free trial session since I wanted to try out some kind of martial arts, I've done karate in the past so I wasn't completely new but that wouldn't have mattered because the environment was so welcoming and fun. For those of you who are afraid of the unknown, you really just schedule online and then go in and tell the teacher that day your name and then you go to the back left corner of the lineup (as everyone's in order by belt) (and don't forget to bring water and take off your shoes before stepping on the mat), and then the rest is from what I did just warming up, training different kicks, and ending with meditation. I'll reiterate, the environment is super super awesome and I highly recommend this place to anyone who's been wanting to try out martial arts but is afraid of trying new things, or just wants a good Taekwondo Dojo. Absolutely loved it, will be coming back.

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.

"Thank you for all you do. I am really happy that Jonah has finally found a school, teacher, and class he enjoys again!”

Our family has been apart of TKD Wellness for a month now, and I must say that we love it. Master Torres is great with the kids as well as the teens and adults. Along with the Taekwondo tools that he teaches his students, he also provides them with tools to use outside of Taekwondo. He talks with them about setting goals for both in and outside of Taekwondo, he provides them with tools to help them focus and he imparts what I would like to call "little life nuggets" that allow the students to learn, grow, and thrive in their day to day lives. We are looking forward to this new journey at TKD Wellness and we invite you to come and check out a class or two. I know you will enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will martial arts training make my teen more aggressive?

This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions and misconceptions about martial arts. In short, martial arts can actually reduce aggression. However, research has shown that training in a martial arts school that solely focuses on competition does increase aggression while training in a martial arts school that incorporates philosophy, forms, sparring, meditation in addition to competition actually lower aggression. TKD Wellness does participate in competition/sport Taekwondo but our curriculum includes many of those key components.

Is previous martial arts experience required?

No, new students are not required to have previous martial arts experience.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No, we don’t do contracts because we also value flexibility and we are confident that our students will want to be apart of our community. We offer month to month memberships as well as discounted memberships for multi-month memberships paid in advance.

Does my teen have to compete in tournaments?

Is my teen required to participate in sparring?

Beginning students (white, yellow & orange belt) are not expected nor required to spar because we want them to learn greater self control first. Intermediate (green to purple belt) and advanced students (Brown and higher) are expected to participate in in-class sparring drills but are not required to participate in free-sparring nor sparring competitions.

Can my teen with special needs participate?

Yes. TKD Wellness was initially developed by Dr. Torres, clinical psychologist, as a therapy group for children, teens and adults with mental health diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, anger and Autism. Students are encouraged to go at their own pace and training drills can be modified as needed. Thus all students with and without special needs are welcomed.
