My son loves this class. It is very engaging. The teacher shows them something new at every class. Best class so far. My son is 4 years old, little dragon class. Best thing to do in a rainy or cold day. The location is on UES. I can choose the schedule through the Supreme Martial Art application.
My son is a student at Professional Taekwondo and has a good time there. Instructors are friendly, professional and patient with beginners. My son is learning great life skills, confidence, focus and discipline. One of our best decisions was to send him here!
Fantastic taekwondo teachers who are great at leading fun classes for all ages. My child started at age 5 and has had such a blast for past two years. Younger kids have so much fun also. The classes are 30 min for little ones, then increase to 40 min.
