Dynamic Martial arts Taekwondo and Hapkido

My son has attended World Tae Kwon Do Center for almost three years, and he is one belt away from getting his black belt. We enrolled him when he was a couple months shy of turning 4. That seems very aggressive, but under the tutelage of Instructor Phillips and Master Hong, my son has blossomed into a respectful, confident, and well-​behaved child. Not to mention physically fit! (Let’s see your kid, of any age, bust out 20 pushups and 20 burpees for fun, with perfect form!)
At WTKDC, my son had fun and made great friends. Best of all, his instruction helped him in the classroom, and he is mindful and respectful of his peers, elders, teachers, and family members. With his instruction, he has learned more than just basic self defense, but also valuable life skills, such as how to respond to bullying on the playground, how to assess when his TKD skills are appropriate, and the value of teamwork, hard work, and most importantly to me, as a parent, following instruction.
WTKDC is more than these things, though. Instructor Phillips and Master Hong are both personable, approachable, and extremely respectful and flexible. I have always felt comfortable speaking with them about issues my son faced at school, in the classroom, or even at home. And in the next lesson, they would either talk about the issue, or nonchalantly incorporate a lesson within the lesson to address the issue. In this manner, WTKDC’s small community, and both Instructor Phillips and Master Hong, were essentially an extension of my family.
I cannot recommend WTKDC enough and would encourage anyone and everyone to put their child in TKD and watch how simple values will improve your child’s listening skills, participation, confidence, socialization, and sense of responsibility.
