How do you delight a teenager? You empower him. I enrolled my three youngest in this program and while they are new enough that their uniforms are still crisp white, I am already seeing a difference.
The instructor,Jonathan Thornton, is excellent with kids. He is patient, observant and responsive. New students are quickly integrated into the class activities. This is a program with a place for everyone.
There are classes six days a week. This evening we had an active shooter class where older teens and adults were instructed in disarming an attacker. The students got the program quite easily.
The attendees are varied in age and ability. Care is taken to match partners but there are plenty of opportunities to work with other students.
Krav Maga and Cross Fit are also taught in addition to Tae Kwan Do.
