A Treasure in Wilton!…read more From the moment we walked into Master Kim's Taekwondo, our three children were hooked. The energy is electric, the instruction is world-class, and the warmth is genuine. Our children just tested for their first belts and practically floated out of the dojang. Watching them bow, break boards, and beam with pride was pure magic. They're not just learning kicks and forms--they're gaining confidence, respect, and lifelong discipline. Wilton is beyond lucky to have this powerhouse trio of Master Kim PH.D., Master Son and Mrs. Kim. If you're on the fence, sign up today. YB World Taekwondo is the treasure of our town. Dusi Family

We wanted to continue our TKD journey into the second dan, instead of starting at another martial arts school. We researched a few different places. Some were non responsive, or too far to our liking. We stumbled upon Song Tae Kwon and set up our trial class. We have been going here since December of 2021, and we are very happy with them. Master Song is a great teacher, and teaches the material well. The instructors, masters, and other students are all very helpful and patient. We enjoy going here and learning/improving our forms/curriculum. For anyone looking into starting Tae Kwon Do, I would reccomend this place.

At the same time, my son has slowly progressed through the program and is on his fourth belt, green. Song Academy has small class sizes and several trained adults available to teach the students.

I recommend the classes to people of all ages.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting Shirley in person or training Tai Chi with her, but I've…read morewatched many of her videos--first when she was with Aiping Tai Chi, and now with her own Tai Chi United. I've learned a lot from the way she presents Tai Chi, especially how she makes her videos both educational and visually appealing. The fact that she consistently creates content that resonates with viewers and goes viral is impressive and inspiring, and it motivates me to bring the same level of clarity and creativity to my own work. If you're looking to learn Tai Chi for its cultural depth and health benefits, Shirley at Tai Chi United is absolutely someone to turn to. She brings those elements forward in a way that makes them accessible and meaningful for anyone.

During this time he has demonstrated a unique proficiency to instruct students of all age groups and skills. He is always aware of a student's abilities. Although students have a wide range of talent, safety is the number one concern in the studio. Excessive force is never tolerated and students are free to demonstrate the various techniques that they have learned. In addition to learning self-defense, my family has learned self-confidence and awareness. These skills have been a benefit in both the workplace and school life. I recommend Master Devita both personally and professionally.

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!!!

He's tough, he learned from the best. He makes martial arts an issue of spirit, rather than a mere workout.

I have been going here for a year, to the 7:30 PM kickboxing class. It is the best workout I have…read moreever had. I am the kind of person who does not do well at a standard gym. I get bored very easily, using the treadmill or elliptical and weights every single day. So last summer I decided to go back to Tae Kwon Do USA. I went there several years ago in 2004 for a few months before I moved to Costa Rica, so I knew exactly what to expect with this class. I have to warn you, this class is not for everyone. It is very intense, and you will definitely sweat. Sir (the teacher/owner) has us do everything from push ups to lunges and punching and kicking and using the bags and gloves. It is a total body workout, and if you are consistent and come here two to three times per week, you WILL see results. The thing I love the most about this class is the other students. It is truly a "judgment free" class. There are people of all levels here, and no one will judge you if you can't keep up. He also changes the workouts frequently so you are always using different parts of your body. I always have had scrawny spaghetti arms, and now I am actually proud to show off my defined arms and shoulders. If you like to work out hard and sweat, and be rewarded for your hard work, then you should definitely come to this class. He has a 5:30-6:30 class Mon-Fri and the 7:30-8:30 class Mon, Wed and Friday. Hope to see you there!
