I don't know if the same teachers work there (at the time it was these two Olympic-level teachers that were phenomenal) but that year of learning Tae Kwon Do was one of the best and most important experiences/lessons of my life. Of course you learn the techniques, but they also taught me how to be respectful, discipline and be an overall good person (sounds cliche but it's true). I guess after looking at all the great reviews about 25 years after my experience with this place, their integrity has never wavered and I would recommend this place for sure. I think they also opened a new place in my hometown (next town over from Norwalk) New Canaan.

They have both consistently attended 2 classes a week, and both still really enjoy it. I highly recommend anyone interested in a dojo for their kids to go for the trial lessons offered. What drew us to the dojo, and why it has been so beneficial for my sons, is the traditional and deep teaching which Sensei provides, given his vast experience. Further, Sensei and Lisa provide a structured and focused environment, which helps my sons practice discipline, stillness of mind, and control of body, which is what I was seeking for them, given the excitement and mayhem which surrounds so much our daily world. Where kids find self-control challenging when doing activities together, I appreciate the practice they get every class, as behaviroal expectations are clear, an the environment is set for them to learn and grow.

But when I think of American Top Team in Connecticut, there is no name bigger than Luigi Mondelli. He is greatly respected in the martial arts community and has many accolades to his name. You will most definitely want to attend this school for the wealth of knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as well as Kickboxing/Muay-Thai and MMA. However, if you are looking for a new way to shed some weight, gain confidence, or looking to meet cool people, Luigi has built a community that welcomes all. When Luigi teaches us the lethal arts there is an interesting juxtaposition of warmth, humor and humanity in his teachings. I am proud to call Amerian Top Team my home, I am proud to call Luigi Mondelli my Master, and I believe you will too.

I highly recommend Newtown Moo Duk Kwan for anyone who is interested in exploring the martial arts…read morefor all the right reasons. Rich the instructor is inspirational and insightful without being pushy or overly critical. He works well with all age groups and abilities. It is obvious that Rich loves the art and loves teaching. I enrolled in the adult class and my two daughters were in the kids class until we moved to the west coast. My girls who are not into sports loved their classes and I loved watching them. Rich was great at getting the best from my girls. I also got a good workout from my classes. Rich is great at ramping up the intensity without burning people out. I've worked with other instructors at other schools who did not respect their students limits but found that Rich will encourage you but not break you. Moo Duk Kwan is a great martial art and Rich runs a great school.

Soo Bahk Do, a traditional martial art, provides each practitioner a multitude of different benefits for adults and children as they develop his/her confidence through regular mental and physical training. These benefits include: physical coordination, mental discipline, self-confidence, philosophical perspective as well as self-defense just to name a few. Mr Rich Ahlers began his training in 1985 and has taught Soo Bahk Do for over 10 years and competed in tournaments locally, regionally and nationally throughout his training career. He has won numerous awards as well. I have personally trained with Mr Ahlers on numerous occasions in NY, NJ and CT. He executes excellent hand and foot techniques for self-defense and displays a passion for The Art of Soo Bahk Do that all prospective students will experience and learn first hand. Please stop in The Newtown Youth Academy (NYA) and see for yourself. If you are interested in learning martial arts, you will discover a new passion and establish personal relationships that will last a lifetime. 5 Stars!!!
