parent review

2nd year doing the after-school program, and I love knowing my child is safe, getting physical activity, and learning new skills while also holding the kids accountable for their grades and behavior at school as well. Helping teach them to be the best they can be.

Parent review

We have checked out a couple places, and even though we have only been there a couple times the instructor seems really good. He calmly instructs the kids, or redirects them. He doesn't single them out when someone does something they aren't supposed to be doing, he addresses the whole class and says we don't do this because... needless to say, we signed up last night! I really think my kids will get a lot out of it.

Review from John Doe

I am so thankful for this amazing program. My son has been in the after school program almost a year and we have enjoyed it tremendously. We have had to take a break due to personal reasons and the family at Dickson Taekwondo have been wonderful and supportive. My son has learned a lot while in the program and we cannot wait to get him back as soon as we are able.

After years of struggling to find something to keep his attention we were so happy to find Dickson Taekwondo. Master Lewis and Mr Lewis have been so patient and understanding and made the class a wonderful experience. The classes have taught him confidence and self control as well as discipline. He loves going to class.
