When my three children started at Dominach's Taekwondo Academy more than three years ago, none of them could do a single push up and some had low confidence in their ability to be successful. Today, they all crank out pushups and sit-ups and have achieved the rank of black belt. My twelve year old son has entered the junior instructor program. The difference in confidence is huge! I highly recommend this school. After attending for several years, I can attest that Mr & Mrs Dominach (along with the other instructors) provide individual attention to every student - there are no favorites. Is Martial Arts hard? Yes! Do the kids get tired from an intense practice? Yes! The biggest reason for sending your kids to a school like this is the boost in confidence. About 5 out of 100 kids who start a martial arts program will continue to black belt. My children have achieved that rank and that is awesome - they are in the top 95%! Because they learn respect along the way, they develop a healthy sense of pride - without the unnecessary arrogance. Additionally, they get great exercise (they are not playing video games), they learn self-defense with respect, and they develop a sense of achievement - often missing today. Mr & Mrs. Dominach are super kind - providing all sorts of opportunities for a wide range of students - including special needs! When compared to other sports, the price is very reasonable. There are numerous classes to choose from that fit nicely into your schedule. The other students are friendly and there are numerous opportunities for extra-curricular activities. Try it, you'll love it! Jon Stonis - Independence, KY read more

Our family of 4 have been members of DTA for over 3 years, and love every minute of it! Our son started taking taekwondo in Kindergarten when his teacher said he needed to work on his focus, so we thought this would be a great opportunity. After a year of watching from the lobby, the rest of the family decided to join as well (3 black belts, and a senior green belt later)! Not only have both of our kids learned a great deal of respect, patience and self control, they are both excelling in school, and their teachers always give positive feedback about their manners, and how courteous they are. Besides regular classes, both of our kids participate in a number of additional activities and community events that Dominach supports and is involved in throughout Independence; as well as participating in tournaments and clinics as part of the organization, Taekwondo America. We love that our kids understand the importance of setting their own goals throughout the year, although not all are accomplished easily. They have learned that sometimes there are roadblocks and obstacles along the way, but they don't give up. The Dominachs are very supportive of the kids and instill in them the determination to keep going, despite any setbacks they may have, and that if you keep working towards your goal, with good effort, the reward will come with time. We are glad to be a part of the DTA family! read more

Dominach's Taekwondo is a great place for all ages! My 9 year old has been going there for 5 years, his grandpa started a couple years later, and my 4 year old (at his request) has been going for almost a year. They all love it, they have made great friends, and it is a great activity for them. Dominach's is right next to Independence Kroger, so I can put the kids in class and do some shopping. The owner is super friendly and very community oriented. If there is ever an issue with classes or testing, he is always willing to help to resolve it. As for price, I've not compared to other schools - we tried it out and loved how our son was treated and compared to baseball, football, or any other sports felt it was competitive. You try it for free (or get a couple weeks for cheap) and then if you like it you sign up. If you have multiple people you get a discount and once you sign up, your price stays the same even if their rates go up. I've seen the school grow a lot in past years and everyone there is like a big family. The instructors and helpers are GREAT with children. They teach them while having fun with them. The school is involved in all sorts of activities: tournaments, camps, kid's night, a summer picnic, parades, holiday activities and more. I'm proud to be part of this family and would recommend Dominach's Taekwondo Academy to anyone! read more

Dominach's is a great place to learn taekwondo for all ages, take aerobic kick boxing classes to get back into (or stay in) shape, and to meet great people from all over Northern Kentucky. The owners of school are both deeply committed to making sure your personal goals are being met and that your kids are receiving the best instruction possible. I have two daughters and they have been at Dominach's for a couple years. The physical activity of the classes is incredible and they have both benefited from the lessons of respecting authority, self-discipline, and focus. The instructors consistently demonstrate this, and my entire family has benefitted from the lessons taught at Dominach's. Regarding the cost, you get exactly what you pay for. Top notch instruction and class times that can fit into today's busy family schedules. The school offers classes everyday but Sunday, and you could conceivably take 6 classes every week if you so choose. There's also no charge to try class for the few few weeks until you decide if its for you or not. Before trying some other school, I'd strongly encourage you to stop in at Dominach's and I'm pretty sure you'll be impressed with the people you find there. read more

My son has been a student at Dominach's Taekwondo Academy for 2 1/2 years. he is 7 years old and we attend class 4-5 times per week. It says a lot about the quality of the school and its instructors when a child this age still has the same enthusiasm for class as he did at the beginning. I have watched his self-confidence soar as he learns respect, focus and discipline along with technique. Students are surrounded by a support system that includes instructors, fellow students and also the parents. Every success is acknowledged and disappointments become learning experiences. Mr. & Mrs. D (as we all refer to the owners) also offer many fun family-oriented events throughout the year including the famous (infamous?) annual Family Picnic & Water Gun Wars, which helps students and families bond outside of classes. My son and I have both formed friendships that enrich our lives. I would highly recommend Dominach's Taekwondo Academy to anyone of any age! read more

The review on here puzzles me... the owner and other employees are more honest than other martial arts schools I have looked into. Most places won't even give you pricing information on the phone and they will answer every question you ask honestly. Also, when we signed up they gave us a welcome packet that contained all the pricing information and exactly what I would have to pay for and when. To say that the owner is not a nice person is so far from the truth! Mr. Dominach cares a lot about all of his students and is always willing to go above and beyond whenever necessary! Is Taekwondo a cheap sport? No, but neither is soccer, baseball, basketball, dance, etc etc.... with any sports there are fees and equipment involved. Like I said, Sam S.'s review baffles me because we could not be more happy about being a part of DTA! read more

My daughter has been going to Dominach's Taekwondo Academy for 3 years. It has done wonders for her self-confidence and discipline. Mr. Dominach is wonderful with children with all different types of personalities. He and Ms. Bolger really want each child to succeed at their own pace. It saddens me to read Sam S.'s review as it is completely unfair. Mr. Dominach is very honest and prides himself on his reputation at the school as well as in the community. TKD is not an inexpensive sport and Dominach's is not more expensive than any other school...in fact they are less expensive. I would recommend Dominach's Taekwondo Academy to anyone....its a wonderful investment in your child. read more

DTA is a wonderful place!! My son has been taking karate from Mr. D for 3 years now and has made so many friends. We have trouble with social situations and being a part of DTA has improved my son's self-esteem as well as socialization skills. Mr. D's constant involvement with the community and local schools shows how much he cares about the children and the sport of karate. Can't wait until my daughter can start taking lessons!! read more

Do not go to this place. The owner/ instructor is a total jerk and gives preferential treatment to *some* of the kids, based on the parents. It will cost you a fortune. The owner will not be honest with you about anything- trust me he's not a nice person. Can I give 0 stars? Don't waste your time or money. We invested well over 3000 in less than a year and a half. read more

After watching my daughter kick it for a year, I started TKD Lite then quickly pulled my daughter into TKD classes. I really enjoy the nurturing atmosphere. The instructors offer helpful criticism and NEVER in a biting way. I can truly tell they only want to make me better. Nearly 1 1/2 years later, I'm gaining confidence and belts! read more

My kids love Dominach's tkd. All of the instructors are friendly, attentive, professional and give individualized instruction. The hours are convenient and 30 mintues is the perfect amount of time for my 7 and 8 year old kids. The school is clean, well maintained and full of other happy parents like me! read more

New to the area, my daughter joined Dominachs. I was worried how well she would fit in and enjoy it there since moving and having a break from martial arts for a few months. She loves it here and looks forward to going and quickly made friends! Nice place. Worth the drive from Florence!!! read more

Our son has been taking classes here since January and has learned so much! We have been impressed with what he is learning how much he has grown. He's definitely showing how much he has learned about personal integrity and respect for others. Plus some very cool moves. read more

I would recommend Dominach's Taekwondo to anyone. Kids gain confidence and self control and respect for others and themselves. Teens & Adults get to learn new skills while improving health and fitness on top of gaining confidence as well. read more

Mr. D and his instructors are great! They are so friendly and fun! My daughter loved his knuckleheads class and he is always volunteering to do teakwondo demos and instruction at Summit View Academy. read more

We have been going to DTA for just over 2 years now. We love it! The instructors are awesome and they truly want to see your child succeed.

Awesome for our daughter, Mr. and Mrs. D are so great with all of the kids and such and important part of the community.
