Grandmaster Tanner and First Taekwondo is such a great place for youth to gain self confidence, create long lasting friendships and to receive careful training in the martial arts! They have an excellent staff who are caring and take great pride in their students.

I can’t say enough good things about First Taekwondo! From the moment we walked in the instructors (aka Sabom) created a welcoming and positive atmosphere. My child has learned so much in the two years since we’ve been coming here, both in terms of discipline and self-confidence. The lessons are engaging, fun, and challenging in the best way as possible. The instructors are not only skilled, but incredibly patient and encouraging. They strike the perfect balance between teaching the techniques and fostering the love for the sport. My child has made amazing progress both physically and mentally. The class structure is well organized, and I love how they focus on respect, focus, and teamwork in every session. I’ve seen such a boost in my child’s self-esteem and ability to set and achieve goals. It’s been amazing to watch him grow and develop both as a martial artist and as a person. I highly recommend First Taekwondo to any parent looking to install discipline, confidence and fun into their child’s life.

“My two boys love their Taekwondo classes here! The instructors are amazing—super patient and great with kids. They make the classes fun while still teaching important skills like discipline and focus. I’ve already noticed a big difference in my sons’ confidence and how they handle challenges. Plus, they get to burn off all that energy in such a positive way! The environment is really welcoming, and it feels like a big family. If you’re looking for a place to get your kids into something active and meaningful, this is it. We couldn’t be happier!”

I’ve been at first taekwondo for 11 years, and I highly recommend. There instructors are very sweet but will still challenge your child to do there best. I’ve seen many young and older students gain confidence.
