Seattle Taekwondo Academy

Our boys have been enrolled in STKDA for six years now, since 1^st grade. We think that they have become toned and stayed fit with the structured nature of the classes — Poomsae on Mondays, with running exercises and forms; Forms on Tuesdays (although they can’t usually make it due to a Scout conflict); Sparring on Wednesdays to develop offensive skills; and Hol Shin Sul on Thursday, for self-​defense. Mr. Craig and Ms. McCall are extremely devoted and expert at their profession. Now working on Black Belts.

Seattle Taekwondo Academy changed my life!
I started when I was four years old because I was obsessed with the Power Rangers, and have never really been able to give it up since. Mr. Craig and Ms. McCall are amazing instructors who work so well with adults as well as children, teaching them respect and responsibility from the start. I honestly don’t think there are better instructors out there. While they know how to maintain a serious environment, I chose their academy over many others because they were fun. They keep the class exciting and new, doing extra activities like potlucks and holiday parties to keep a «family-​like» atmosphere.
Taekwondo is much more than many might think. I am a junior in the business school at the UW, and I honestly can give a lot of credit to where I am today because of STKDA. It taught me how to stick with something and never give up– to respect those around me as well as authority (teachers, coaches, etc.).
I also encourage those who want to exceed in sports (I played varsity basketball, soccer, softball in high school) to take taekwondo, it will get you in the best shape of your life, while giving you the best balance you could ever imagine.
All in all, I have loved every experience and moment that I have gained from the Seattle Taekwondo Academy, and I seriously encourage everyone to try it.
