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.

I felt welcomed by everyone there. You can truly tell that the staff cares for each child that walks in the door.

It's been a joy watching my daughter and the other students, of all ages, develop strong technique, focus, discipline, and confidence. We also enjoy traveling to the various taekwondo competitions. I would strongly recommend.

They truly care about the kids and their success not only with Taekwondo but in school, at home, and in life. Master KJ and WCT have boosted both my children's level of confidence in everything they do. They have learned discipline and dedication as well as how to respect themselves and others. Jennifer in the office is wonderful. She is super friendly and on top of everything, always looking out for the kids and keeping them focused, and great at communicating information about special events, camps, schedule changes, etc. We have tried various other TKD and Martial Arts studios in the area and WCT of Fairfield is by far the best and in a league of their own. Keep up the great job Master KJ and team!

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.

She joined when she was only nine years old -- shy, nervous, and unsure of herself. Today, she's confidently preparing to earn her Black Belt, and the transformation has been amazing to witness. Throughout this journey, I've seen her grow stronger, more disciplined, and mentally tougher. Taekwondo has taught her how to stay calm under pressure, correct mistakes without fear, and push through challenges with confidence. One of the things I admire most is how Master Na always tells the students that making mistakes isn't bad -- what truly matters is the courage to fix them and keep improving. And every time they thought they couldn't break a board, Master Na would say, "Yes, you can!" That moment of encouragement always gave them the strength and belief to do it -- and they did! Taekwondo has also helped her perform better in her other sports like soccer, flag football, and basketball. She now plays with more focus, balance, and determination, showing leadership and confidence that clearly come from her martial arts training. This journey has helped her grow in so many ways -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a parent, I'm deeply grateful to Master Na for his patience, dedication, and for teaching my daughter to believe in herself both inside and outside the dojang.
