Master Pellerin and Master Annie, genuinely care and love all of the students and we consider them like family. I throughly recommend every child, join in with this wonderful martial arts Dojang.." - Christina Glasgo

"A real game changer in my son's life."

"The program they have at Fire Dragon Taekwondo has been a real game changer in my son's life.

The life skills, manners , and most of all the self esteem/self confidence changes I have witnessed in my 6 year old since entering this program have been nothing short of miraculous .

I have never been SO excited as a parent, nor have I ever seen my little guy SO excited about anything as he has about Fire Dragon.

They have an AMAZING schedule which allows him to go a minimum 2 days a week and UP to 6 days a week and there is no extra cost . He can drop in after school if he feels like being there ... And so far he has asked to go EVERY single day .

I highly HIGHLY recommend this program to all ... Amazing amazing. Looking forward to watching his journey 😊" - Candice Burke

"Exceptional Place"

"I don't usually write reviews for pretty much anything, but I'm making an exception here. This is an exceptional place where family and friends get together and have fun while doing a good workout, children learn important skills like discipline, work ethic, self defense and many more things! I have the opportunity to spend time with my family doing this and I find that invaluable. I think anyone looking for a fun activity for the whole family should give this a try.." - Ricardo Gamero
