Ive known Grand Master Son, Kimmy and Master Min for over 15 years. Over the years, not only have I looked at them as my instructors and coaches but as a part of my family as well. I started training at Sons Taekwondo Academy when I was 12 years old. Grand Master Son and Master Min have been involved in my competitive development since the beginning and been involved every step of the way. You can tell how much they love and care for the sport by how they train their students and the devotion they have for their athletes. Sons Taekwondo Academy will always be my second home.

The best taekwondo school I have ever joined! Son's TKD Academy has a fantastic program for all of its students! The instructors, Grandmaster Son, Master Min and Master Rachel, are very knowledgeable in the martial art and run great classes. This sport has taught me so much and has helped me stay fit and healthy! I am very proud to be part of the Son's Taekwondo family, and would highly recommend joining this martial arts school!

If you really want to learn the true discipline of Taekwondo this is the right place. Grand master Son is a legend and still heavily involved in teaching. My son has classes with Master Min, Master Chris and Master Rachel who are extremely good with children but also strict enough to teach them respect and discipline. Sparring sessions are optional but also very helpful in building up grit and confidence for my son. Highly recommend!
