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

google

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."

google

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.

google

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!

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!!

google

What a great place to learn martial arts. Perfect for kids or adults. Sean Baxter is a real gentleman and an excellent teacher.

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

We love everything about Concord Taekwondo! All of the instructors are patient and work with our son to meet the expectations so he can be successful.

google

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.

google

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

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

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 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

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

google

I have had a relationship with Concord TaeKwonDo America for the past 22 years. I have gained invaluable self defense and empowerment skills. Come try it out.....and you too may find a new sport that provides you a lifelong outlet for fitness.

google

Wonderful instructors and great lessons for life!

Great instruction. Great instructors. Great atmosphere for supportive learning. Love this place!

It feels like family here.

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

The school is always buzzing with positivity. From the moment you're greeted at the door to the moment you leave. You can hold your head up high when you tell others you go here. You learn something new about yourself and what you're capable of every day.

google

The entire staff, students and parents have made our transition from Chicago a very welcoming experience. We are glad to be a part of the family!

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

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!

Great instructors and a great environment to learn.

Amazing place with great instructors. I recommend this place

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!

This Taekwondo school is really great! My son is growing at his own pace and the instructors are very helpful and great with the students.

They have an excellent Taekwondo program! The instructor is incredibly patient and kind with the little kids, always making sure to give each child personal attention. My son absolutely loves coming here—he always looks forward to class, especially the fun little stickers he gets afterward! Since joining, we’ve noticed a big improvement in his focus and discipline. The instructor truly cares about each child’s progress and creates such a positive and encouraging environment. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to build confidence, discipline, and skills in their child!

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!!!

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.

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.

Super friendly. Works very well with children and special needs. Amazing staff.

Amazing, patient, and knowledgeable instructors. They are passionate about teaching and helping kids learn all their techniques to succeed with every color belt their earn. But it isn’t just about learning techniques...kids also learn confidence, disciple, focus and so much more! The classes are engaging and fun. It has been great for my son to be able to participate and continue learning with their online class options this year. I highly recommend this school for all ages!

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.

How exciting!

It’s been a fun experience so far. Able to learn in a supportive environment.

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

We love Taekwondo America! My kids young and older and my husband are all very engaged and learning a lot. The teachers are very kind but thorough and I really love the positive environment they have created. I am really thankful we have joined and am excited to see how far they will go with it.
