Located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, West Side Taekwondo is one of the best taekwondo…read moreschools in the world. And it's not just because of its powerhouse competition program. It's because it's one of the few places where "taekwondo" still means "taekwondo". It's a place where people of all ages, size, and athletic ability can come to challenge themselves and achieve goals that they never thought they could achieve. Very few taekwondo schools can maintain an excellent traditional taekwondo program alongside an elite competition program; in fact, it's nearly impossible. However, West Side is able to seamlessly do both very well. Growing up, I was heavily competitive in taekwondo, and West Side taekwondo was one of those famous, well-known schools from New York City. It was the "place-to-be" and they had many great athletes and coaches. Later in life, I was lucky enough to have a chance to train at West Side on many occasions. They've always accepted me with open arms even though I was not a "regular" (because I lived 4 hours away), and I met many great people in a short period of time. It was during this time that I had a chance to experience the wonderful community that exists at West Side. The energy and the atmosphere inside and outside of class is unmatched. It doesn't matter if you're a 10-year-old kid, a 40-year-old beginner, or an Olympic athlete; you're always treated with respect and dignity, and you will be motivated to become the best person that you can be at West Side taekwondo.

They've been open for a few years now and have quite a number of students. My sons love their classes and the place is very organized, sanitary, and well kept. My only suggestion would be more seating and coat hooks? The fees are fair and may even be a little less than the surrounding martial arts places. They strive to give individual attention to their students despite the group class. Their students have medaled at tournaments and they've won a Best School award. :)
