My family has known Master Nam for more than 10 years! I am so pleased that my son is joining back as a young adult so that he can learn not only the skill of Taekwondo, but the even more valuable life lessons that Master Nam conveys. This is one of the best decisions we have made for our son!

Myself and 2 children have been with Master Nam and Welland Taekwondo from the beginning. TKD is not only a place to improve ones physical fitness and strength but of ones mental well being. My husband and I have always felt that Master Nam has played an integral part of our childrens lives. They have learned many skills such as respect, self confidence, self discipline and perseverance. With these set skills (and many more), my children have applied them throughout their lives and have become strong independent young adults. I believe anyone, young or old can improve their lives by

Master Nam and Welland Taekwondo have been amazing for my family and I. Consistent, supportive, honest and hard working Master Nam has not only taught my child martial arts but is teaching her life skills and connecting with her on a more personal basis when there are stresses and struggles involved with being a preteen. I appreciate his total professionalism along side his family atmosphere.

My children have been attending Welland Taekwondo class for 5 years. They have enhanced their mental as well as physical strength by learning Taekwondo from master Nam. My kids feel proud of getting black belts through that class. They also learn how to respect other people with courtesy, and so on. We highly recommend.

Welland Taekwondo is an excellent place to learn taekwondo. But it is so much more than that! Master Nam is a skilled and caring teacher. You will train hard and get fit. But you will also become part of a community of amazing people. Welland Taekwondo members care about each other and each others families. We share each others success and struggles. We celebrate together, be it New Years, Halloween, or belt testing. It is a wonderful community to be a part of. I highly recommend it.
