Our family has been part of TVT for a little over 4 years - this is one of the best decisions Ive made for my girls and... yes, for myself, too! There’s nothing like hardships that allows to see someone’s true colors…. I have to say that in these unprecedented COVID times Master Vo – the owner of the business – along with TVT masters and instructors delivered above and beyond of what could’ve been expected. Master Vo showed a great example to our kids how to never give up, how to look for solutions, not excuses, and how to show grace, kindness, flexibility and support in times of struggle. Just a few examples… when everything shut down in spring of 2020, Master Vo quickly transitioned to Facebook and Zoom classes – even our black belt camps didn’t stop, but continued on in virtual model. Master Vo personally sent thank you cards to all students to encourage them keep up the good work. Running weekly raffles for dinner / breakfast delivery to support local small businesses. All TVT families (not only students, but families!) received TVT masks to prepare for re-opening. When testing time came (still in shutdown mode), depending on each family preference, Master Vo personally tested students (with all COVID precautions) in the drivers, backyards, parks, via Zoom etc. etc. etc. Everyone who continued to training got tested and received new belts. Despite serious hardships that Master Vo personally had to go through, he never stopped thinking about kids and quickly adopted and adjusted to ever changing regulations. We’re practicing – outside, in masks and wearing face shields when situation calls for it. We just have finished our fall tournament – COVID format, but still tournament that allowed kiddos to test themselves in competitive environment. Haven’t seen a single athletic organization doing anything close to what TVT have been doing all this time for our children. (I haven’t mentioned many other impressive actions as this could turn into a good size article!) If you want to find a martial arts school where adults have your child’s best interests at heart; where Masters and instructors truly love what they do and take pride in helping our new generation grow into confident, mature, disciplined, responsible and respectful adults - I couldn’t recommend anything better than TVT Academy. Very honored to be part of our TVT family!

Master Tom Vo carries himself in a professional manner at all times, and his employees follow his lead. Master Tom Vo personally has gone out of his way to come to our home to bring us a punching bag and mat, to help my son break his boards to be eligible to test AND to administer belt testing in our driveway during this pandemic. Master Vo genuinely cares about his students and their families, and his support shows! We are so thankful for Master Vo and his support, and thankful to be a part of Master Vos Taekwondo martial arts program!

Trained by his father Grand master Vo a 9th degee blackbelt, Master Vo a 7th degree black belt along with his team of masters has a tremendous ability to build a relationship with each student wherever they are at and motivate them into success.

Huge thank you to Tom Vo’s for making my sons 6th birthday party so awesome! The communication leading up to the party and day of was made it so easy to be able to just show up and enjoy celebrating. The party package included pizza, gift bags, invitations, and thank you cards. My son got to cut his cake with a samarai sword and then break a board in front of all his friends. The two instructors kept 18 kids ages 3-6 entertained for the full 1.5 hrs. Highly recommend them for your next party!

It’s been a year and my boys really enjoy it!! They have made friends, learned what is martial arts, gained more confidence and discipline. The instructors and leadership students are very compassionate and considerate towards their students. It has been a wonderful experience for not only my boys but for myself as well. :))

The most family oriented, welcoming and fun place for my kids and surprisingly myself! A gem for certain, all of the staff are themselves excellent, patient and kind. If you are up for a real proper training, this is the place. If you want to join along for fun yourself, this is also the place. Everyone can be accommodated. I met so many friendly people, price is right, training beyond measure!

I first started TVT a year ago at UCI and was honestly the best decision I could have ever made. It has become a place where I can grow not only as a student but as a person overall. I have gained strength, knowledge, and friendship from our masters, instructors, and classmates. Taekwondo became my motivator and was one of the first things I started to look forward to in a long time. It gave me time to get away from the stresses of school and work and clear my head while in class training.Most importantly I made amazing friends and connections with everyone not only in the classes at UCI but the studio with our masters and instructors that make you feel most welcomed and other students. It is more than just learning Taekwondo, it allows you to become apart of a family that is supportive, understanding, and willing to work with you. I am currently a purple belt and now on track to pursuing my black belt in my second year joining the program. I will definitely continue to train with them after I have achieved this goal.

We were looking for the kids to have some outside activity from school. Something they can enjoy and physical activity off the ipads or computers. We found the kids really enjoyed all the activities from day one! They made new friends. The instructors are interactive, nice , and patient with the little ones.

Tom Vos Taekwondo is a wonderful place to learn Taekwondo. The staff is wonderful and encouraging. Not only do they teach you Taekwondo but they also teach you to be disciplined and also to be a well rounded individual. They want you to succeed but they help you achieve and earn success rather than just give it to you. Like with any other martial arts its hard work but they keep you motivated and its a lot of fun.

I love this school! The instructors are top notch and really know the students that train there. Master Vo is kind and treats the students with respect. The kids love him and his staff. Kids learn discipline, focus and have fun while learning to become leaders. Cant say enough about this school. We highly recommend them.

Tom Vos Taekwondo goes beyond just teaching martial arts. Students are given the ultimate goal of reaching black belt as well as building a good character through discipline. The well-rounded curriculum exposes the students to skills they would not learn elsewhere and the patience of the instructors really show how they genuinely want to bring out the fullest potential of each student.

I really enjoy training at TVT because here they teach you more than techniques, but self-discipline and determination. All the instructors are encouraging and patient, and they truly care about your progress. The school is very well-rounded and family-oriented. I remember talking to a kid sitting next to me during a belt ceremony and I can feel his excitement and dedication in training at this school. This is the place to be and I highly recommend it.

I never thought I would like taekwondo, let alone join one. However, after I joined Tom Vos Taekwondo, I love it now and this is a great opportunity to learn how to defend myself. All of my instructor are great and teach very effectively in order to prepare us. I highly recommend any age to join!!!

I have put my boys in Tom Vo‘s taekwondo class. I like that I put my kids in karate because it teaches them not to be timid and to stick up for themselves but not be a bully And when they’re getting teased to defend themselves without hurting anybody. I like the skills that they provide for my kids like good manners, respect your elders, finish what you started and especially they teach your kids to be leaders. They have great instructors like Tom vo, Juan, Kim and the other instructors in the other classes.

Joining Tom Vos Taekwondo was one of the best decisions I have made for my children. Not only do my children learn the art of Taekwondo but they also learn discipline in their academic studies and to give back to their community. Master Vo and all the Instructors are great role models. They care for each student and want to see them succeed not only at Taekwondo but also in their academic studies to help prepare them for the challenges of adult life. Each student is treated like family from the moment they walk in the door. Even as a parent watching class I feel as though I am part of their Taekwondo family. After a few short months there has been a dramatic change in my son and daughter.

Tom Vos Taekwondo has been very welcoming. Grandmaster has high expectations for each of his students and hell help you reach those expectations so long youre willing to try. He says his goal for each student is black belt and you know once you receive a black belt from him you deserve it because reaching that level is no easy task.I started Taekwondo at another studio and can say Tom Vos teaching methods are a lot more involved. Not only will Grandmaster help you but Master Tom Vo Jr and many other instructors are there to assist you. I treat Tom Vos Taekwondo as a workout because it is a workout. It can help you lose weight or gain muscle depending on what youre looking for.

When I was young I took several martial arts but nothing like this place. This place not just teaches punches and kicks. This place want the children to show respect and have the proper manner. They definitely welcome you into their family on the first day since they know how difficult for the young kids to adjust in the new environment.Teachers are excellent for all ages. I have observe a few times I see that the teachers are not there for obligation because they are very enthusiastic and gun ho when it comes to teaching. I give a thumbs up for everything!!

Its been 12 years since I REALLY practiced martial arts. Ive been to a couple other schools but it didnt really bring me back until I found TVT. The facility is spacious and clean. The instructors are very accommodating and patient but will train you hard! I forgot how much I loved TKD until now. The schedule here is very flexible especially with a crazy work schedule. Best decision of the year to join!

Great school with great staff that is passionate in what they do. Master Vo shows he cares for his students and aims to make sure they get the best training available so they can be prepared for the future. Master Vo and the staff will teach their students to be leaders by building character, how to be disciplined, and aim higher in life not just physically but mentally.

Like all Asian parents, you want the best for your child, especially getting them out to do something active and that will educate them as well. I gave them a choice between sports or martial arts and they chose martial arts. Not knowing where to go, a friend of mine referred me to Tom Vos Taekwondo. She said he was the best.When I walked in, my o my, i can see why she said that. The place was very organized. All the kids had their gear on. Master Vo immediately introduced himself and showed us around. He broke it down to us about the importance of self defense and being active. I can tell he really cares about what he does. Now knowing his history of competition and coming from a reputable marital arts family, this is his passion.If you want someone who will teach your kids the best, I would definitely go with Master Tom Vo. He is excellent and will be worth every penny.

I am very impressed with Tom Vos Taekwondo Academy. I have two kids, a boy and a girl, 7 and 11, and we recently moved and were looking for something to keep the kids active. We got involved initially through Master Tom Vos anti-bullying classes that he teaches at Courreges and various other local schools. Once my kids started, they cant get enough of it. Its great exercise and high-energy practice. Tom Vo has an excellent staff of well-trained, kid-friendly instructors that incorporate character building and discipline into the core of their martial arts training. My kids want to go 7 days-a-week and can, because the schedule of practice is frequent and flexible. One of the best perks, is having a birthday party there. Its inexpensive and the staff brings pizza and sodas and will run the whole party for you while you sit back and snap photos of the fun. They are also flexible to incorporate any party themes/games that you want to include. Definitely a fun, safe environment environment for the kids, and best of all, they are learning self-defense and staying fit.

Our son has just enrolled at Tom Vos FV. We had stopped by a little over 6 months ago when our son had just turned 4 and was offered a free trail class so he could be evaluated. After the evaluation it was advised for us to come back in 6 months or so since he was not able at that time to listen or even follow basic instructions...he ran all over the place and pretty much did what ever he wanted. In that time we had been to other Taekwondo establishments that were ready to sign our son up on the spot and we also observed other children in those classes running a little wild, needless to say we were not impressed. We appreciated the Masters advice at Tom Vos to wait and as parents we knew that was the right decision. During the time of the initial evaluation my husband and I were quite impressed with the instructors and Masters and how the class was ran and how they worked with the students. Discipline and respect is top notch and instilled in their students. As a Mom it was so wonderful to see the instructor dismiss for a water break and allow the ladies to go first while the boys remained they all stated ladies go first becaise they are gentlemen. We waited a little over 6 months as we knew Tom Vos was where we wanted our son to go and brought him back again. We had another evaluation done and at this time our son was able to follow along with what was asked. We stared off with the 2 week trial and have already noticed improvement with his adherence to the program. My son even opens the door for me and will hold his arm out and say after you Momma when we are out or when we leave the house and come home. The best part is he loves it. The look of pride on his face when we presented him with his new gear was heartwarming. Our son struggles with focus and confidence and we have seen Tom Vos prides itself on building those traits in their students. The instructors and Masters are amazing with him. When it came time to sign him up Master Vo sat with us and took the time to listen to us and offered his suggestions. We appreciated his honesty and the passion he has for what he does. We were in no way pressured to sign up or felt we were being upsold at all. He wanted us to feel confident in what he could do with our son and said to let him show us the improvements. We are very excited our son is now part of the Tom Vo family and are looking forward to the journey of excellence and leadership we are all on together. Thank you Tom Vo!!!

I love this place. Grand Master Vo and Master Vo Jr. taught me not just about being good at martial arts, but also about respect, hard work, and success in life. The place is great for all ages. Every day after class, I felt EXHAUSTED, but stronger every day. The Vos have an excellent understanding of how to train; they motivate you to push your physical limits and Id say more importantly push your willpower and mental strength to succeed. Its not just about being a black belt, its about being a better human being. I highly recommend trying the class out and getting to know the awesome instructors and students there!

Overall excellent school with top notch instructors. The school promotes fitness, discipline, and skill while having fun!

Just awesome!

My son was the first to join Tom Vo Taekwondo. After a few weeks of joining, I see a difference with his attitude. He is more polite to other and more confident with himself. Myself and daughter decided to join after seeing the difference with my son. My daughter is a very shy person and wouldnt do anything without me. After a couple of months, she is starting break out of her shyness. As for myself, its a great way to work out. Ive lost about 12 lb so far after a few months. I highly recommend Tom Vo Taekwondo.

Review №39

When I was younger I was always the shy, quiet kid who would rather stay inside than go out and make new friends. The idea of standing in front of my peers while sharing my thoughts terrified me. It got to the point where I would gladly take the zero on any presentation. However, at some point I realized that I couldnt continue to live in this abnormal fear of the spotlight forever.Fortunately, I graduated and got accepted into UCI where I was asked to join TVTs rec class. Taekwondo basically saved my life. It not only boosted my confidence but also allowed me to meet many new friends. I can now talk to new people without wanting to hide under a rock, and I can do things in front of people without shaking. I cant say that Im 100% better in this aspect, but I definitely improved compared to my high school self.My progress shows in the way I hold myself, and friends from high school also notice the difference. My only regret is that I was unable to join taekwondo when I was younger because I needed the self confidence boost to avoid such traumatizing experiences in high school. But I guess when people say what doesnt kill you makes you stronger, they really do mean it.TVT is not only a place that I train, but it is my family that I hold dear. By demonstrating each level of poomse and sparring in front of the masters and peers, I was able to build my self confidence.

Weve been coming to TVT for about a year now and our son has made a lot of progress in terms of his confidence and obedience. The staff has made a huge impact on my boy as well; all of them are role models and we, as parents, couldnt feel more pleased. We highly recommend TVT for all prospective kids who are looking into taekwondo. Thank you all for everything you do.

Ive been with TVT for a bit over a year and it had been one of the most positive experiences I could have asked for. Staff is super friendly and helpful, instructors really know their material and do a thorough job explaining it. Things Ive learned from TVT extend far past martial arts into my daily life. Ive made friends that feel more like a family, we encourage each other and grow together. I feel truly honored and grateful to have learned under such amazing people.

Review №43

The first time I found out about Tom Vos Taekwondo was through college when I moved into the area. Coming from my background, I was the person who usually doesnt speak out and always found myself in the corner or at home alone. However, that changed when I decided that I should try something out in college while I had the time.During the first few weeks the class, I already knew that the aura I received from the students, instructors, and masters are very warm and welcoming. The instructors and masters wanted to get to know us more like what is our names and a random fact about ourselves and so on. As a white belt in the class, I didnt know much of the curriculum and it was hard to keep up at times. However, the peers and instructors helped me out a little more to help me get back to pace. With that, I realized that although every individual is on their own track towards their own goals, there was no such thing as leaving one behind, especially in this class. I believe that not only that it would help lower belts learn, but also higher belts in maintaining and strengthening their knowledge and skills. I also was able to get back on pace!With my intention to try it out and hopefully improve my overall flexibility (I couldnt touch my toes or even kick above the waist at this time), TVT helped me achieve my initial goal (as of now, I can touch and hold my toes and kick above head level). As far as my first belt testing went, I really had a great time. There was a lot of energy at the test which was at Long Beach. It was the time when all the masters tested with all the color belts for the next rank and I got to see the amazing strength and skill from each and every one.After my first quarter with TVT, summer kicked in and I decided to train more at their Fountain Valley location. The environment between in college and at their studio was different. It felt like a faster pace and it was always full of great energy. It was a class of all ages learning the same material. It was honestly fun for all ages as we sometimes finish the day off with fun games like four corners or dodgeball. At the time there, I got to meet every master and the masters master and not only got to meet but also became friends with. It was not long until I realized that the journey doesnt stop here. With all the positive energy from the TVT family and all the skills, knowledge, and discipline that I have learned, I will continue my pursuit towards black belt excellence and achieve my goals as a leader.

Tom Vos Taekwondo is absolutely PHENOMENAL. Even those words dont begin to describe the transformative experience the children have at Tom Vos Taekwondo in Fountain Valley.Theres something powerful when you see children who are 6, 8, 12 years old emitting so much confidence, respect, and positive energy.Tom Vos Taekwondo is more than kicking and punching--which I can ensure you theyre definitely experts in their craft--but better yet they help your child grow into becoming the best person they can be in their character, health, and mentality.These are our undeniably our next generation of role models and leaders and it is amazing to be witnessing it all here.Youre in excellent hands with the family thats been cultivated at Tom Vos Taekwondo. The staff truly care about the children, and theres always lots of laughter but they also get to work and help build discipline and perseverance in your child.Whether you want your child to get some exercise or gain confidence while learning how to defend themselves, they got you covered.Your child will sweat and love doing it so much because theyre having tons of fun doing kicking drills or footwork drills.Your child will have peers and role models thatll encourage them to challenge themselves and cultivate an inner strength thatll last a life time.If youre a parent, with full confidence, I highly recommend visiting Tom Vos Taekwondo for your child.Its a life-transforming experience for not only your child but you as well. Itll be an amazing experience when you see just how much your child has progressed and grown as a person.

Master Vo is a great instructor for kids and adults alike. He teaches discipline, hard work, and persistence, all during a fun and challenging class. As long as you go to class, Master Vo will help you get better every day youre there. Ive always been terrible at sports, but the reason why I excel in Taekwondo is because they didnt kick me out! So I kept going to class, and before I knew it, I got my black belt!! Master Vo and his instructors are great for that :) I highly recommend them!!

Tom Vos Taekwondo is one of the best martial arts academies you can attend! Grandmaster Tom Vo and Master Tom Vo Jr. are two names that anyone in the Taekwondo sport knows worldwide. These two both genuinely care about every student and wants everyone to be successful.I have been attending Tom Vos Taekwondo ever since I was a little kid, and I have learned more than just a martial arts -- I have learned to be a leader. This school prides itself on building future leaders -- in addition to producing top-notch black belts. Not only am I proud to call myself a black belt, I am honored to say that I am a better person and leader thanks to this studio.

I have trained at several different TKD schools and was one of the best at my last dojang before joining Tom Vos TKD. Tom Vos TKD standards is a class above the rest. Not only does he teaches anti-bully he teaches character enrichment to help better every child. They go above and beyond.My sister and I have loved training here and wished we started here sooner.

My 5 year old and recently 4 year old have been going to Tom Vos TKD for approximately 2 months now. At first, I thought to wait half a year before writing this review, but I woke up this morning compelled to put down my thoughts. This place totally took me by surprise.First off, I cant compare Tom Vos with other TKD places for this was the first one I visited. This review is based exclusively on my own expectations, and what I observe of the instructors during the many sessions.The instructors I mostly observe are Instructor Ricardo, Thang and Juan.In short... the instructors are good... very good.They are stern, yet patient.They have high expectations, yet are forgiving.They correct, encourage, and mentor the students.My 4 year old is the youngest in the class. If hes not the youngest, hes by far the smallest. I have 2 very active boys (one exceptionally stubborn, and both are the class-clowny type) who drive me absolutely nutso on any given day. However, upon watching the instructors manage them in class, I am left speechless. The instructors are exceptionally patient... and I have a soft-spot for young adults who take the time to mentor kids.Master Vo keeps everyone in check - when hes around, everyone is on their toes. Instructor Juan acts tough but hes actually a teddy bear. Hes informative and knowledgeable. Instructor Thang is the jokester of the crew - he likes to make the kids laugh. Hes refreshingly mild-tempered, and I would have to say is the most patient of the bunch. Instructor Ricardo is stern... but with a nice smile. Actually, Instructor Ricardo in particular is rather amazing to watch. Anyone knows, or could guess, that one must have a lot of patience and perseverance to work with kids in a positive manner. Instructor Ricardo is an exceptional teacher. He is articulate, very clear in his directions and expectations, and speaks in a way to get kids to understand. And hes only 20 years old. That, my friends... is a gift. The junior of the crew is Devin. I see him helping out my kids a lot - another good role model.All of the instructors have high expectations and it is obvious that they are committed to providing the students the tools in reaching their goals. The instructors give 110% and expect the same from their students. Tom Vos TKDs main emphasis seems to be about continual self-improvement - about reaching ones full potential - within TKD martial arts and otherwise. I really appreciate that kind of commitment and dedication.I just asked my kids what they like about TKD. My oldest said he likes to get his stripes on his belt (a token-reward system). The youngest said he likes running. I have never had to convince them to go - TKD is developing a discipline in my kids that would have been difficult to achieve alone.Now, I have only one question for the instructors there... so, do you baby sit?

I joined with my 5 year old and we havent looked back. Its a great environment for anyone. If your a parent like me look no further. This place is your new home away from home. I get to learn new skills, and get back in top shape. At age 42 I have lost 15lbs, and I feel great. I was very impressed on how they help motivate our kids and they give the kids something to aspire to. This school is more than just martial arts. You get Grand Master Tom Vo and his son Master Tom Vo along with their experianced instructors that help create excellent life goals, and they really help you as parents create a better more rounded, confident and out going child. Come in and see them and talk to Master Tom Vo. This is a wonderful and fun martial arts studio. I highly recommend them to anyone.

My son has been attending Tom Vos TKD for the past couple of years. He is now in 9th grade and I have to say THEE BEST decision I ever made for him. Not only have the master and the instructors really helped my son in TKD, they have gone above and beyond to help my son on a more personal level. To them, I am truly graetful.The master has helped my son tremendously by instilling in him the core values of TKD, and life, respect, honesty, doing your best and helping others. This place isnt just about learning TKD, its about growing as a person, helping a family in need, in my case, a single mom, in need of that extra support and role model. They have far exceeded my expectations and have dedicated much of their own time to allow my son to grow as an individual and a student of TKD.I encourage anyone who is considering TKD or any martial arts to stop by and take a look, it really is a great place for your kids and well, the entire family! My son is now a green belt and quickly moving up to a black belt, thank you Master Tom, Instructor Ricardo, Instructor Billy, and everyone else who allows my son to thrive at TKD.

I earned my black belt from Tom Vos Taekwondo. It took years of practice but it was all worth it, because in the end I knew that I had actually *earned* the belt. The only reason I stopped practicing was to start a family. By the time I was in my second trimester, I figured it was time to take a break from taekwondo.Fast forward several years, and now my son is training at Tom Vos Taekwondo. I wasnt sure how well he would take to taekwondo at first since he has more of a mellow personality. Would taekwondo be too aggressive or intimidating of a sport for a preschooler? Would he go for a couple weeks and then be done with it? So many questions floated around in my mind. Well, weve been with the program for six months now and he absolutely loves it! His self-confidence has improved, hes made new friends, exercises regularly, learns new things each week, and has the self-discipline to practice at home. How many adults can say the same?Grandmaster Vo, Master Vo, and all of the instructors are so knowledgeable and giving. They are dedicated to their students and to the greater community. When I mention to friends or acquaintances that my son is taking taekwondo, they often ask me how I chose the school, if I shopped around, etc. After all, there are many martial arts studios out there. I invariably tell them that: a) I used to train there, so I was already familiar with the place, and b) if you want your kids to just learn taekwondo, send them anywhere. But if you want them to also learn important life skills, develop a strong sense of community, and truly take pride in their accomplishments, then Tom Vos Taekwondo is the place for you.

I am the very proud father of a 3 year old white belt and a 5 year old yellow belt at Tom Vos Taekwondo. The differences in my kids are noticable and awesome. They are much more respectful, they are more confident, they are all around happier, because they get exercise, they can see they are improving everyday, and like any 3 and 5 year olds dream, they get to break boards! I myself am also currently a yellow belt as well, I am also down over 20 pounds since I started with Tom Vos Acedemy. We live in the Costa Mesa/Newport Beach area with literaly 3 Martial Arts studios within 2 blocks from our house. My wife and I happily drive them 20 minutes away to Fountain Valley because of Tom Vos child developing structure. The kids have to earn everything they get, both inside the Dojo and out, just like in life. They have to complete Acts of Discipline and Acts of Kindness in order to receive stripes, and they need to earn enough stripes to even test to get to the next belt. So with each stripe, they gain pride and confidence in themselves. Like in life, you earn what you get and I am so happy that we found Tom Vos Taekwondo because it developes this habit in my kids. Discipline, hard word, respect, and goal oriented thinking is what makes a successful person, and thats what is taught at Tom Vos TaeKwondo. This is taught through each of the very patient, very talented, very capable, and all around awesome Instructors at the Dojo and through Master Tom Vo himself. I look forward to each session because I know I am going to 1.Get a great workout 2. Learn something and progress. 3. Share an experience and create great memories with my entire family. Tom Vos Taekwondo is like a tight nit family, and as the kids grow, and the memories are made, and work is put in, it creates a very special atmosphere that my entire family looks forward to each and every session. Thank you Master Tom and all the instructors for all that you are, and all that you do.

I am very amazed that there is a wonderful Tae Kwon Do martial art schooling out there. Martial art Tom Vo Taekwondo is amazing adventure that I had encounter. Not only does it teach kicking and punching, it teaches self-defense, discipline, respect, and many more wonderful things that any parents would love to see in their children. I have two kids and enrolled both of them in the program. I had and have seen a tremendous changed in my childrens attitudes and behaviors. They would tell me many great words and do many great things since the class. For example, they would tell me that they love me on a daily basis, grateful that they have a parent that love, protect, nurture, shelter, and provide necessities for them. It has been a huge improvement to my childrens behaviors. In all, this schooling helps my kids to be better people and to always do things without asking. I had search for a long time for a great martial art schooling and I finally found the perfect one. I would highly recommend any parent(s) to give Tom Vo Taekwondo schooling trial out. Once you tried it out, I know that you would definitely signup. I did. By the way, i also enroll in the class, myself. Love the school and would not change for anything else.
