Our family absolutely loves this school and everyone there. We got started with our oldest Daughter who has Down Syndrome. She began in their Rising Stars special needs program. After seeing how well she thrived, and our youngest begging to join as well. We decided to sign up as a family. We love doing this as a family and the owners/teachers Mr. and Mrs G, are amazing people.

Coach G is fantastic! She has helped my daughter have the confidence to try something she is easily discouraged about and handles emotions with support and compassion. My oldest has gotten a boost to her confidence as well and even improved her balance and coordination in just a few months!

My daughter went to a competitor TKD school for approximately 11 years. Without going into details, the instructors there destroyed my daughter's confidence and love for TKD. I thought her journey with TKD had come to an end once she quit. Then she joined the Gautreaux's. In the few months that she has been there, she has regained her confidence and love for TKD. The Gautreaux's truly care about their students and about them succeeding in life, not just TKD. My daughter is #5 in her class, is 2nd chair violin in orchestra, and is an active member in NHS. All of those things were unimportant to the owners of "other" school because she wasn't always available to run their classes. If I could give this school 10 stars, I would. My only regret is that she didn't come here sooner. Many thanks to the Gautreaux's and the students for making my daughter part of their TKD family.
