I'm so glad I'm doing this. All I can say is that if you're interested in Taekwondo stop by and speak with Master Kwak - you'll be glad you did. Five stars from me!!!

My son has been attending classes for a little over 2 months and has loved it since the first day. He has grown tremendously in confidence, respect, endurance and agility. I have seen incredible progress made by kids younger than him as well. Master Arthur, Master Kwak, Master Ryan and all instructors are very professional, friendly, kind, encouraging, and most of all passionate. Not only are they teaching the students Taekwondo skills, they are also teaching them life skills such as discipline, perseverance, and respect. I HIGHLY recommend UTC Taekwondo!

I am nearing 60 years old and work as a Captain with FDNY and many of the members that I work with are 20 years (some close to 30 years) younger than me. Through this training I have lost weight and gained flexibility and functional strength; and just move better. This helps me to keep up with the younger members. The Instructors are highly skilled in martial arts as well as teaching and there is never a lack of personal attention. You are not just getting a good workout but learning a traditional martial art and valuable self defense techniques. Overall the classes just make me feel good.
