Our children have been coming to Taekwondo Academy around 1 year and they love it! They have gained confidence and learned so much in a small amount of time. Grand Master Cottee is fun and mixed with tough instruction. Lots of great antidotes added during class to bestow values. Exactly what our kids needed. They can't wait for the next class!

I used to be under the instruction of Grandmaster Cottee of KTA Northwest until I transferred to compete. And I can’t say enough good things about him. He is strict and wants perfection, and challenges people to think in the right mindset. He taught me well and enhanced my preparation for the competition team that I currently attend.

I cannot say enough about my son‘s experience with Master Cottee. He encouraged and pushed him to limits I’m sure that he was not aware that He could go. My son will be going out to college next year. But he will not forget the lessons that he learned here and will continue to visit when he has time off. Marcellus Martin

My son has had lessons here for the last two years. Master Cotte and his wife are professional, loving, and very skilled. We love the confidence and skill that my son is learning. The values of leadership, discipline, and hard work that we teach at home are also taught here. I would highly suggest KTANW!

I cannot say enough good things about KTA Northwest. Master Cottee is an amazingly talented instructor. He not only takes the time to teach two classes almost every day, but he frequently stays after class to give individual instructions if requested. Master Cottee also practices what he teaches. He has competed in several national and international level competitions and has worked to earn his SEVENTH DEGREE BLACK BELT. His years of experience and teaching show in his level of expertise. Master Cottee's wife is also an instructor at the school. She is patient and caring. This is a great family environment. My son and I have been taking classes at KTA for years. It is a great activity for parents and kids to do together. If you are reading this review it is likely you are considering going to KTA Northwest. You should!
