If you are thinking of getting into shape or looking for a bunch of cool people or into Capoeira…read morethen you HAVE to come to this place!!! I have been going for a month now and I can not say enough good things. First off I am terrible at it!! So if you are like me and afraid everyone will laugh at you don't worry, they are so friendly!! If you want to shed a few pounds or work on your core this is a great way. I was very sore the first couple of weeks but I didn't notice that I was working so hard during the class. I just had fun. If I had kids I would take them too. They have a huge area next door for kids. I don't know all of the details but when I come to the early classes I see the kids as they leave and they seem to be having a fun time plus they burn off the energy that they would take home if they were at a low energy child care center. If I remember I'll try to add more. I go mostly to burn calories but I have more flexability and overall energy plus I've made tons of cool friends

We have brought our daughter here since 2012 and she loves it. This is a girl who is not all that…read morenaturally gifted as an athlete and lasted about two months at other activities such as dance and gymnastics. Despite those early flame-outs, my daughter loves Taekwando and it's due in no small part to Kelly, Rick, Brooke, and all of their student instructors who are all excellent at what they do. My daughter is engaged, takes her lessons seriously, and has a lot of fun. Every time she advances to the next belt, she takes great pride in her accomplishment and feels as though she genuinely earned it. When she fails to advance, the Trautweins are there for her and help her refocus and get ready for the next testing cycle. Trust me: your child will work for, and earn their belts. This isn't a Taekwando studio where all of the kids automatically advance through the belts until they reach the black belt, are able to list the "accomplishment" on their college applications, and then quit. You'll find places like that up in Lakewood Ranch. If you want your children to learn a martial art and become a better person in general, this is where you will bring them. I do, however, wish the chairs in the observation area were more comfortable. I mean, c'mon! I've spent a lot of time sitting, watching my daughter over the years. How about some recliners, Rick?!

The facility is huge, new, and immaculately clean. If you are a germ-o-phobe, then this is the place for you- you could eat off the floors :-) The instructors are kind and encouraging. The entire Trautwein family are such wonderful people, they really care about their students. Mrs. Tomlinson and Mrs. Nguyen are incredible role models as well. I only wish I had started practicing tae kwon do much sooner!
