My daughter has been doing Tae Kwon Do here for about a year and a half. For a long time we have tried different sports or extracurricular activities. None being what she truly loved. I was a bit skeptical if this was going to be her thing. (We’ve tried so many others.) But she has thrived. She glows. She’s confident. And this is her thing. She’s disciplined. She’s focused. She never wants to miss a class and wants to attend all things related. This has also helped become so disciplined in how She can control her body and motor skills. I couldn’t be more proud. But I also believe it’s the master instructors and their team making class fun for the kids and also giving certain expectations and goals for the kids to reach. A place who love on your kids and love what they do will change your child too.

I am so thankful for the patience and kindness the instructors here show my child. She’s tried dance, gymnastics, and taekwondo, and taekwondo is the only thing she has wanted to stick with. I believe it to be in part by the way the classes are structured, the energy of the instructors, and the positive environment they cultivate.

My son Cameron has been part of the Little Tigers Program for little of a year. The instructors and the entire staff at the Hoover location are the best. They are super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. They show great patience working with the young kids. I’m glad we made the decision join World Class Tae Kwon Do

You will not find a more positive environment than Master Scarsella’s World Class TKD. EVERY staff member is kind, patient, enthusiastic and encouraging to all students. Even the students in the class cheer each other on and get excited when their peers succeed. When our daughter wanted to perform TKD in her schools talent show, her instructor came to be her assistant! When our daughter struggled with her anxiety and couldn’t handle going to class with other kids, the instructors worked with her individually to make sure she did not fall behind with the curriculum. This is truly an environment for ALL ! 🥰
