My son started with AK Family in the summer of 2025 and he really enjoyed all the field trips and activities. As a parent I appreciate the discipline and expectations they set for all children. My son continued with the after school program and is I love with taekwondo, he wants to be a master of taekwondo! No matter location, Eagle River or Wasilla the staff are great. They communicate and care!

We have had an excellent experience at this taekwondo facility. The masters are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about each student’s growth—not just in skill, but in character as well. The staff and employees are always friendly, professional, and supportive, creating a welcoming and positive environment. What stands out most is how much they emphasize important values like respect, discipline, confidence, and perseverance. My daughter has grown so much through her training here, and it’s been wonderful to see those lessons carry over into her everyday life. She has gained confidence and is learning to show respect to others. We are very grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our family and highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality taekwondo instruction with outstanding masters and staff.

I am so glad to have found AK Family Taekwondo. Having a reliable option for before and after school care for my kindergartener has been a huge stress relief, and I was unexpectedly (but happily) surprised to find out about all of the day camp opportunities when schools are closed for inclement weather. As a single mom that option has saved me from missing a day of work so many times. My son is always happy and excited to go to Taekwondo, and in just a few months his bodily awareness has improved drastically, along with his willingness to help at home (yes! he folds his own laundry now!) He is proud of what he is accomplishing, and practices at home constantly. Truly grateful for the family we have here, and we are looking forward to many more years of Taekwondo!

AK Family Taekwondo has been absolutely wonderful for our son. From day one, the instructors and staff have been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Communication has been clear and consistent, which we really appreciate as parents. What truly sets this school apart is the family vibe—you can tell they genuinely care about the kids and the families, not just the martial art. Our son looks forward to every class, and it’s been great watching his confidence and discipline grow in such a positive environment. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend AK Family Taekwondo to any family looking for a great program and an even better community.

AK Family Tae Kwon Do has been such a gift to our family. One of my granddaughters just earned her brown belt after being part of the after-school program for nearly two years. Watching her grow in confidence, discipline, and self-belief has been incredible. Another granddaughter started timidly, coming with me on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. She carried a lot of anxiety at first, and I was honestly unsure how it would go. But the instructors met her exactly where she was—with patience, kindness, and skill. They guided her so beautifully that she has grown into a confident young lady who now walks in believing in herself. My third granddaughter visits me in Alaska and trains here when she’s with me, and she has absolutely bloomed under their care. Even in shorter stretches of time, the impact has been profound. What amazes me most is that these are three very different girls, with very different needs—and this school has supported each of them in exactly the way they needed. That takes heart, professionalism, and genuine dedication. We are so grateful for this community and are excited to be adding one more student to the mix this fall. If you’re looking for a place that teaches more than just martial arts—confidence, respect, resilience, and belonging—this is it. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
