Testimonials
Lisa E - recommends Spirit TKD Martial Arts Self-Defense. 26 March 2020·
We have 9 children who take classes at Spirit TKD. Many of our children have special needs, two of them are in wheelchairs. It is such a blessing for all of our children to be doing something together. Mrs Master has special training in para TKD and our girls who use wheelchairs are so excited to be able to do what their other siblings do. No more sitting on the sidelines watching. Everyone who works with our children are so kind and understand
My grandson is a student of theirs. My grandson has high function Autism. They are the greatest people to work with for him & so many others. I have witnessed the love they give to each & every student in so many positive ways. Going with this family is one of the best things my daughter has done for our grandchild
