Sam Staples

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.

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.

Amazing place with great instructors. I recommend this place

Oliver Brooks

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.

Brianna Pierce

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.

Kevin Kirks

We could not be any happier with our experience here. Great people, great atmosphere.

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.

randi crystal

I take my sister here and they are always super friendly and she has a great time 🙂

Derek Milo

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!

Hailey Quinn B

Great team of instructors, really care about the students no matter of age, or gender. They definitely respect the traditions of taekwondo.

Linda Peterson

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

Vsevolod Loiko

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.

Daniel Fortier

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!

Nikki B

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!

Alison Spasoff

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.

Samantha Russell

Amazing teachers and sweet staff! My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time here.

Sharon Williams

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.

T M of Charlotte

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.

Linette Williams

This Taekwondo school is awesome in many ways let me start by saying the instructors are friendly, patient and professional in there teaching. My little girl who has excelled tremendously in the art has metals to show her tought skills, the school is a clean environment, there teaching are explained, the office staff are just as awesome. They are always open to hear your concerns and work with you, they are LGBTQ friendly. There is not enough praise that I can give this school. kudos to Mr. Baxter the owner

Frank Ferris

Excellent people and environment. Everyone is very friendly and are very effective at teaching. My son loves to go to class and learn!

Ivette Blackwelder

My daughter has learned so much here. She enjoys taekwondo and looks forward to going to learn. She has made wonderful friends too. And the instructors work hard with the students to make sure they learn their forms the correct way. Everyone is really friendly.

Charles Mingo

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!

Maciej Noras

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.

Jonah Santos

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.

Meredith Barbee

We love Concord TKD! My son’s instructor is so wonderful with the kids and he has learned a lot and really enjoys it.

Khristye Allen

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

Carla Chitty

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.

Courtney McBride

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!!

Trajectory Strength

Concord TKD is a first rate Martial Arts school. Of you are willing to work for each belt you will have earned it with a sense of pride. The instructors teach serious martial arts, but still manage to make it very fun! Mr. Baxter has devoted himself to being the best Master instructor he can be. High standards and integrity are the norm. I earned my black belt there and made the school an integral part of raising my kids and it has carried them well into adulthood.

Yliana Montoya

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.

Lindsey Heafey

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.

Daniel Lee

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.

penny smullen

Our son is 6 and all of the instructors take a lot of patience and time to ensure the little ones have a good class each week. I've recommended Concord Taekwando to several other parents. Classes for the beginners are every night so chosing one easily fits into your schedule. All staff is helpful and approachable and it has been an overall excellent experince.

Anthony Moore

Love Concord Taekwondo. I've been a student here for over a decade from my adolescence to adulthood. Mr. Baxter has taught me lessons that has gone beyond the workout floor. A great place for children and adults as well. Recommend anyone to go.

Alex

It is amazing there that is whereI go

Jennifer Cantelmo

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!!

Rhonda Storm

Choosing Concord TKD for our daughter has been one of the best decisions we've made. The moment we walked through the doors we felt welcomed and the atmosphere was that of a close knit family. All the instructors do an outstanding job teaching and working with children. They not only teach but lead by example, which is awesome! I would recommend Concord Taekwondo America to anyone, of any age who is looking to be trained in the field of martial arts!

Leo Rivas M.

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.

Matt Wyrick

It feels like family here.

jennifer wood

GrandMaster Baxter is the best, all of the instructors are passionate and have such a gift with teaching! My child was bored with all sports and just didn’t seem to enjoy any of them until we found Concord Taekwondo America. He literally begs to go every single day. His physical health and overall wellbeing has drastically improved over the last several months. If I could give this dojo 10 stars I would!
