Grand Master Jamie and her team at this academy are doing something truly phenomenal with these children. Taekwondo is one of the greatest investments you can make in your child. Team sports are wonderful, but there is something uniquely powerful about a discipline that asks your child to focus on themselves, to build a stronger mindset and accomplish things they never believed they could. This team consistently challenges the children to do better and be better. Complacency is not tolerated here, and that standard shows. My son now has the context to understand what it truly means to move with discipline. He understands the power of practice, the power of believing in yourself, and what it looks like to apply yourself fully to a craft. These are lessons that will stay with him for years to come and that he can carry with him wherever life takes us. Beyond the training itself, the camaraderie among the parents and the sense of community here is something special. If you are considering this for your child, do it. You will be fascinated and awestruck by how much they grow once they begin this journey.

After around 7 months of joining North American TKD, my 8 year old son’s progress in the sport has trickled into other areas of his life. His grades and behavior in school as well as his self-control and social-emotional regulation have improved so much. He is so much more confident and able to focus since the start of TKD. We are so grateful to all of the kind, competent, and no bs masters and instructors at this dojang that has made this routine and my sons growth possible. It’s a real community and an excellent location for Ypsi locals. Absolutely worth the investment in my child.

My daughter started with this dojang a little over 1 year ago. When she started, she was unfocused, lacked confidence and was not as disciplined as she could have been.
I have noticed such a change in her over the year. I first noticed that I no longer had to tell her to do her chores. She now just goes in and does the dishes. She’s on top of her school work and is very thoughtful about how she wants to pursue her education. She’s already thinking about her path to college at 13.
She’s so much more outgoing, willing to try new interests, seems more comfortable with allowing more of her authentic self to show. She is also really excelling at the art form. I have watched her grow in strength and confidence as she continues to learn taekwondo. Coming to the NAT school has made a huge difference in her and I look forward to watching her continue to grow into the strong, confident woman she is meant to be.

I am the grandfather of 2 boys attending the school, and my biggest take-away is that the Grand Master and her staff really care about the kids and focus at teaching them to work hard and have respect for others.

It's been great for my son's confidence and behavior. All the staff are well trained and you can tell they love working with kids and practicing taekwondo. Grandmaster is caring and consistent as well. This is a great way to strengthen your kid in many ways.

My son has been active here at this academy since late July. I can honestly say that I would recommend that you give them a try. Since attending my son has gained a huge sense of confidence. I am pleased with the instructors and Grand Master.
