my son started classes right before his 5th birthday. He went from crying on his first day to competing at a national level 4 years later. The instructors are very patient and great at not only teaching martial arts, but teaching the children discipline, camaraderie and respect for all. I highly recommend Oahu Taekwondo for parents who are looking to put their children in a martial arts program.

As a former student of Oahu Taekwondo Center, I highly recommend the place to all belt levels. It has a friendly atmosphere, as well as great instructors. With their help, I was able to go to USAT Nationals. I will end on this note, this place is the best.

As a taekwondo student of Oahu Tkd, I must say it's an amazing experience for all ages. I started crying on the first day from running laps with thw group as warm up to once being the best in the country for nationals. They are very helpful and are patient to anyone. Ive been with them for more than about 5-6 years, and they are pretty much family.

I have been a member, friend, and family with the McCutcheon family since the 90’s. Brian, Tam, and I have trained and competed together until I left Hawaii for military service. Brian and Tam have built this business from scratch and has changed the martial arts community not only limited to Hawaii, but all over the world. They have built this business not only to become a family business, but teach anyone who joins the true meaning of a World Martial Artist. Every time I return home, they always hold a place for me to train during my stay. OTC is well recognized for their accomplishments, many opportunities arise such as being asked to coach the US Olympic Team. At age 50, I continue to train and always miss being side-by-side with OTC. This is a family I don’t only recommend to train with, but to have trust you or your child’s martial arts journey will become great! Brian and Tamra are still my Masters in TKD. OTC is the best academy, hands down! -T. Uyehara
