Our kids have been going to Seattle Tae Kwon Do for three years. We drive them down once during the week and once on Saturday. At 12 miles each way, it's a schlep for sure, but well worth it. The kids are learning to defend themselves, but more importantly, they're learning values. They recite a student creed at the start of each class. They address their peers and instructors as Sir and Mam. They bow upon entering and exiting. And on and on. It's a cool place. Everyone who works there CARES about what they're doing and how it's impacting my kids. I'm a fan.

It is always a fun packed house at Seattle Tae Kwon Do. For years I drove by the school and wondered why it why the parking lot was filled and the lobby was packed. Then a year ago, I brought my 4 year old to try out the Tiny Tiger Tae Kwon Do program. Wow, every class is full of discipline and respect, which I love and fun and excitement, which keeps my son coming back for more. This is a great activity to instill Respect, Self-Control and how to try hard in school and never give up. When our younger son turns 4, he is definitely starting up!

This was so much fun! We just had my son's 7th Birthday Party here and it was amazing! We literally didn't have to do a thing but bring the cake! We actually got to sit back and relax and enjoy his birthday party (rather then running around crazy stressed like we normally do). They played games with the kids, served them pizza (that they provided on paper products that they provided), set-up the cake, orchestrated singing Happy Birthday, cut the cake (in a most fun and unique way!), and served the cake as well. They headed up opening the gifts and even kept track of who gave what for me!t. They provided a pinata with candy and goodie bags and the kids LOVED the cool way they opened the pinata. They even cleaned up everything after the party! Most of all the two instructors were SO good with the kids: patient, gentle, fun, and controlled. Not only were we as parents blown away but so was every parent there and all the kids. This is a party no one will ever forget. It is totally worth every penny. We gave the instructors a nice tip too. These guys really impressed us...they even made personalized invitations for our son!!! They provided each child the option of a month of free Tae Kwon Do but it was very low pressure, if any. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone!

My son has been training at Seattle Tae Kwon Do for over a year now. I have observed nothing but steadfast commitment on the part of the instructors. Not only has my son benefited physically, but also intellectually and emotionally. He tells me how happy he is when he knows he has tried hard and is recognized and positively reinforced. Likewise, he also understands that if his heart is not in the lesson, he will experience a feeling of dissatisfaction not with the instructors but with himself. This has carried over into his behavior at school, and has made his very challenging curriculum manageable. I think the Tae Kwon Do instruction is excellent too, as evidenced by my observation of increased balance, confidence, finesse and focus with each new belt my son earns. As is true of most 8-year-olds, my son is consumed with right versus wrong, making the right decisions, and taking responsibility, and he is constantly asking me about his behavior and that of others. I know that the added support and consistent message from his Tae Kwon Do instructors is providing powerful influence at a critical developmental stage. I am so proud of his progress. My goal is for my son's training to continue through the minefield of adolescence as well, because it will just reinforce his character into adulthood. Thank you Master Richards, Master Lee and Instructor Daniel for being such an important part of our family and for working so hard with our son. We are all learning lessons to last a lifetime. We think you are wonderful!
