My daughter has been coming to this school for years. This is her favorite sport. She likes the challenge that is given to her, and your school can provide that.

google

My 2 sons and my daughter absolutely love it here!

google

Choosing the “right” school for studies in the martial arts can be challenging. There are hundreds of schools all seeming to offer quality instruction. Your search ends at Concord Taekwondo….The instruction, discipline, dedication and family environment is second to none. As a result, my son has received his first degree Black belt and 14 gold medals in tournament competitions. Truly a place dedicated to the art.

google

My daughter have been going in Concord Taekwondo America, it's a great school and great instructors like Mr Montoya and Ms. Chitty. Mr. Baxter is awesome. 👍

Staff are wonderful! Overall great place for anyone to bring their child to learn marital arts!

google

I am a student at Concord Taekwondo, and have been enjoying every minute of it. Nice atmosphere, kind and disciplined environment. Detailed and thorough guidance. Works well for kids and for older folks like myself. What I like the most is that it is not a "mac-dojo". Also, you can try a free practice before you commit.

google

My daughter has been here for 3 years and has grown so much. She was very shy and timid and Mr. Baxter’s school , instructors and students have all helped her become a confident young woman!

google

Our daughter recently joined and I'm so impressed with their courteous staff, knowledgeable instructors, clean facility, and willingness to pivot with students when extra support is necessary. Don't hesitate to join here!!

google

I can't say enough great things about this place. My 5yr old Daughter, formerly shy, continues to progress in her overall confidence. She loves going to martial arts classes! The Instructors are thorough & attentive with all the Students. The Families are inviting and the atmosphere is supportive of every Kid to excel. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Mr. Baxter & his Team to discuss enrollment for You & Your entire Family!!

Very knowledgeable instructors. And very patient. I would highly recommend.

google

I love Concord Taekwondo America! All the instructors have the patience of a saint working with young kids! I’m thankful for this program!

google

My 6 year old son has been going here for a month and loves it. Something about Taekwondo brings out discipline and coordination from him that I didn't know was there. One thing to note: the level of difficulty on the adult classes is quite a bit higher (I don't know why that surprised me), so if you go to those, be ready for a more demanding experience. Still very enjoyable, but prepare to sweat.

google

We started our 5, almost 6, year old son at Concord Taekwondo about 3 months ago and can’t say enough good things about it. We wanted him in an environment where he could have fun, but also and most importantly, we wanted a boost in his self-confidence. In just 3 short months, he is now bursting with pride and self-confidence! That’s just the top of the iceberg, though, as we’ve also noticed a positive change in behavior and increased attention span! All of these things make for one happy mom! Definitely money well spent! Thank you, Concord Taekwondo!

google

They are terrific! THE most dedicated instructors. So happy my kids are here!

If you are looking for a martial arts school with instructors that care about you and your progress, I highly recommend Concord Taekwondo! I started Taekwondo here in the summer of 2018 and I have shown so much personal growth since then. I've become happier, and my social skills have improved. The instructors are so friendly and supportive of everyone who walks through the door. I feel like I'm part of a big family! I am really enjoying my time here at Concord Taekwondo.

Sabom Baxter has to be one of the most engaging and encouraging teacher I have met, more encouraging than some parents than I know. I am thankful for his heart, and passion he gives the kids at Concord Taekwondo.

This place is amazing so is the teachers it has helped my daughter and my son so much and has me and my husband as we do it as a family we highly recommend this place to any one .

google

My daughter started there first a little over 3 years ago, she has been very successful in her journey thanks to great instructors who take the time with kids to help them get over hurdles they may face on their journey. The classes at Concord TKD helped her improve her fitness level and it has also helped her in other activities as well. She is more focused due to TKD. My husband and I started attended class as well after a free trial class. It is something we can all do together and helps our family remain active. Concord TKD students are successful at regional and national tournaments due to the high level instruction we receive in class.

google

Attending as an adult. The teachers are attentive and patient. They care just as much about learning the art themselves as they do about teaching you. Highly recommended.

google

I am blessed to be a part of Concord Taekwondo! The atmosphere for training and the quality of instructors here are top notch. The school is accommodating for all age groups as well as experience levels, so there is something for everybody here. Mr. Baxter is a phenomenal instructor and he is very knowledgeable both inside and outside the classroom. He is an excellent role model and really knows how to use Taekwondo to build character and inspire others. The same can be said for all of the other instructors as well. This place feels like a second home to me, and I am grateful to know all of the wonderful people in the community that exists here. Come train with us! You won't regret it.

Amazing place. Mr. Baxter and his team care about what they do and it shows how much they care about the kids. My kids are happy coming here and so am I.

My son has thrived at Mr.Baxter’s school! He started at 6 year old. He will soon be achieving his first degree black belt as a disciplined, fit, and dedicated nine year old. Wonderful facility, caring and well trained staff, no contracts, flexible class schedules, and optional National and Regional tournaments.

Very friendly environment and very good goal setting approaches for the Kids development. I can see the improvement on my kid's instances. Highly recommended.

Mr. Baxter and his team of instructors are the best!
