As a black belt having taken classes in 6 different taekwondo studios across the country, I can say…read morethat Hwang's in Bloomfield is a great program. The instructors, Lee and Ty, are very knowledgeable and provide a great combination of technique, drills, and fun. They make for a welcoming, challenging, and empowering environment for students of all ages. My young daughter and I have also taken classes at three other schools in the Hwang family and would rate them equally. The schools are run by Grandmaster Hwang and his sons, who are also ranked as masters. The head instructors are higher ranked black belts too, some of whom have competed at the collegiate and national levels, so you know that you are learning in true WTF and Kukiwon programs.

I had the pleasure of meeting and training with Professor Tuzinho at a Capoeira event in Ohio…read more Although it was only a brief session on floreios (acrobatic movements), you can tell his instruction and attention to detail comes from years and years of experience under the tutelage of Grupo Capoeira Brasil's Mestre Boneco. You can tell how passionate he is about teaching beginner and veteran capoeiristas by how much energy he brings to the gym. I feel like I benefitted greatly even from such a brief encounter. I am looking forward to the future when I will be visiting and taking a class with Professor Tuzinho!

We highly recommend the American Karate Center in Ellington. Our son has been in the "Tigers" class…read morefor about seven months. In that relatively short time we have noticed significant improvements in his self-confidence, self-advocacy, self-control, and body awareness. We largely attribute this to the AKC instructors and their teaching methods. They hold the kids to a high standard, expect them to work together as a team, and expect excellence. They do this all while remaining positive in their instruction, even when a kid isn't meeting one of those expectations. Our son looks up to the instructors as role models, and they've proven to us that they deserve such respect. We are very grateful to AKC for the positive impact that their center has had on our son and family. Lastly, we recently attended a regional karate tournament and were impressed to see AKC take home many top trophies, proving the efficacy of their teaching methods.
