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.

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

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!

Concord TKD isn't only for children, but for adults too! That’s just one of the many things I love about this school. They have caring instructors, respectful students. They have fun activity’s that also help you improve.

google

Great experience

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

I am 100% satisfied with the level of training Taekwondo Concord center provides. The trainers are well experienced and motivates the students to reach to their goals.

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

Since starting this class, I have loss 60 pounds and all levels of my life has improved. I once thanked Mr. Baxter for all the improvements and his response more or less was "your improvements comes from the effort you put in but if you want to thank me continue to show up and improve yourself". This place also has amazing instructors.

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.

google

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.

google

My daughter and I totally enjoy Taekwondo classes! The trainers, front desk and Mr.Baxter are all amazing! In addition to the classes this feels more like family. My daughter is learning so many defense mechanism and discipline as well. I am truly thankful to have found Concord Taekwondo America! My daughter looks forward to being an instructor some day! How exciting!

google

Great place to start your kids on a path to success! My son’s experience has been amazing and I highly recommend!

Just as magnificent as I remember... My brother was a member of Concord TKD many years ago, and I only just recently joined myself. Engaging training sessions throughout the week are taught by well-versed and friendly instructors. There is always a goal to improve, no matter where you are physically, with consideration given by the instructors to never work you beyond your limits. The facility is clean and the sign-up process is hassle-free. I highly recommend Concord TKD for the excellent martial arts education it offers in a welcoming community anyone can find their place in!

My family started at this school in 2005. My wife and all 4 kids have learned and enjoyed the Tae Kwon Do program! Now I am taking my grand kids and we drive 45 miles to get here. What a great school!

I've been going to classes at Concord Taekwondo America for almost 2 years now. They are professional and strive for excellence. The instructors are always encouraging and helpful. I recommend them to anyone I know who might want to improve their physical activity level and do something rewarding and fun!

Mr. Baxter and his team of instructors are the best! Their teaching style helps to challenge students of all ages mentally as well as physically, all while letting them advance at their own pace and have fun! Their facility is always clean and the staff are always friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone who would like to learn self defense, or anyone just looking for a fun way to get some exercise.

We were very impressed with this TaeKwonDo school. The school itself is located in a very convenient location with plenty of parking. Inside, it is squeaky clean and smells great. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Our boys are age 4 and 8 and they were able to do free trial classes back to back. The instructors are amazing. Clearly knowledgeable and experienced with the different age groups. They are kind and friendly and thorough and very dedicated to their craft. We were so happy and our boys felt so at home that we decided to sign up. We received 8 weeks of unlimited classes and a full uniform for each child. I love that Mr. Sean has been doing TaeKwonDo for like 40 years and has had the school for 30. You can tell this is his passion and not just a fly by night business. We love how the tenets of TaeKwonDo are carried out and practiced in every aspect. We cannot wait to watch our boys learn and grow under the excellent instruction of Mr. Sean and the other amazing instructors!!!

My grand daughter has trained at Concord Taekwondo for 3 years and has loved every minute.

Every instructor is incredibly patient and truly amazing. My kids have enjoyed every class. We have been going for oneonth and I know we will be continuing for as long as we are able. One of my children said, "It's so awesome!" And the other said, "It's very challenging, but I like a challenge."

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.
