Columbia Taekwondo

Columbia Taekwondo is the very best!! My grandson has been in this program for 5 years. Mr. Russ, who is the owner, truly cares about all of the students!!!! He, his staff and student teachers go above and beyond to teach each student to be the very best they can be and that they can achieve anything if you do your best, have a good attitude and work hard. These are qualities that we want to be instilled in our kiddos. To have courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit. These are the best qualities to have. Mr. Russ can be tough if needed but he does so in a manner that let's your child know what they have done wrong and what is needed to correct the issue. We are so very thankful not only for the traditional Taekwondo classes but the after school program and summer program are amazing!! They not only are taught Taekwondo but go on local field trips to the park or splash pad, have themed weeks. Mr. Russ provides lunch during the summer, the kiddos build relationships with each other and have lots of fun. During school days if your school is closed Columbia Taekwondo is open even in inclement weather. There has not been a time when they have closed for the weather. If youre still thinking about giving it a try I truly encourage you to do so. I know you will not regret it.

My 2 daughters have been going to CTKD for over a year now. They have both improved tremendously. This place has become their home away from home. They have made friends that are like family. My family loves Mr. Russ for all he does for his students, we think the world of him. His classes are tough, but fun. Give CTKD a try, you won't be sorry.

Columbia Taekwondo is a great place for your children to grow as martial artists. My children learn so much not just in Taekwondo, but how hard work and respect improves your life.

My daughter's do it they love it you should give it a go

Columbia Taekwondo has been amazing for my kiddos, especially my son who is 9 years old. He has past trauma and is diagnosed with PTSD, ADHD and anxiety. His anxiety has improved significantly since starting Taekwondo. He struggled to make friends and get along with other kids but has thrived at Columbia Taekwondo. Tyler Russ is fair and firm, which is what I needed for my son. As cheesy as it sounds, watching him interact with the kids has helped me as a mom to maintain discipline and control in our home that was chaos before. I am grateful for not only the instructor but the other families and students who work with the kids, especially the teenagers who take the time to help with class while also modeling good behavior while having fun. I highly recommend you come check it out and get your kid signed up, it's been awesome for my kids.

This place is absolutely amazing!! My two children have been going there almost 4 years now and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else! They attend the after school program (CTKD picks them up directly from school), summer camp (their operation hours are by far the best as we tried various camps before joining here), and even parents night out on Friday nights. All the while the kids attend their taekwondo classes and learn the discipline behind the art (we love belt testing nights to show how much they have learned and grown). Mr. Russ has by far been a huge impact on how my kids act today by being an additional figure encouraging respect, honesty, kindness, etc. This place is truly a second home for the kids and I get to have peace of mind to know they are safe, learning new things, having a blast, and receiving the best support while they grow up to be teenagers.

My son has been attending Columbia Taekwondo for over a year now. He loves it and we love Mr. Russ, the instructor. He & his sister began the after school program this year and we couldn't be happier. Instills values we believe in and helps children understand respect and discipline.

Columbia Taekwondo is amazing. Mr.Russ and the staff are great with kids. They teach taekwondo, as well as discipline, respect for others and yourself, and confidence. It has quite literally changed my nephew's life. I would recommend it to anyone of any age.
