Lake Stevens Taigon Taekwondo

We were a little apprehensive when our 6 year old son told us he wanted to start martial arts... we were afraid he'd start and then not want to continue.

That was until we met Master Kim and Master Santiago!! From our first moment there our family has been made to feel safe, comfortable, and for our son, challenged and proud.

They focus on things besides just the taekwondo. They encourage their students to be good students, good citizens, and to be good children in their home settings. These are all unexpected bonuses!

We have only been attending for less than a year but I see us being part of the taekwondo family here for many years to come!

Our family has been practicing Taekwondo here for several years now and we love it. The masters have a good balance of discipline and kindness. Our children have developed both physically and socially and we recommend this dojang to anyone looking to practice TKD.

I would like to thank Master Kim and Master Santiago for their dedication in the development of youth and families. Since enrolled in this wonderful school, my son Derek Oden has gained focus and self confidence that has dramatically changed his life for the better at home and at school. I must admit that I, from time to time, take for granted how much love and energy goes into running a school like this. I was vividly reminded of how special Young In is when my son tested for his yellow belt recently. During the board breaking portion of the test he became nervous and frustrated as his mother stood in front of him holding the board. Master Kim looked him in the eyes and spoke to him with care and confidence. When he broke the board his eyes were filled with astonishment and joy. He did not hug his mom in that instance. Instead he immediately turned to Master Kim and hugged her. The teachers and their staff care deeply for their students and the school is run as a family. I would just like to say thank you for your kindness, sacrifices, understanding, honesty, and selflessness. You have shaped many young lives and reinforced good family values. You are a solid cornerstone in the community of Lake Stevens. We are deeply honored to have you all teaching our son. Thank you!
