It is not easy to change academies, but the crew at Elevate have been extremely inviting. The facilities are great, the coaches are excellent, and you absolutely cannot beat the culture. I think I found my new home :)“

105 NC-54 #269, Durham“I cannot speak highly enough about this place. The positives are endless.I have a 6 yo girl and an 8 yo boy in the program. The programs run from quite young and I’ve seen folks across several generations.In this context, this is one of the greatest gateways into the SoDu (south Durham) community that I have found since moving here in 2017 from ATL. If you know about sodu, then let me just say this is on the money sodu representation. If you don’t know about sodu, this is an incredibly inclusive and positive environment.Regarding the instruction: it may feel chaotic on first interaction, but don’t let that fool you. It is a well oiled machine.Regarding staff: 100% A+. True dedication to the art, and clear compassion for the students.Regarding value: while I respect that the price to enter is absolutely a hurdle, I genuinely feel the value is incredible. Our kids attend 2x week and it is perfect.Regarding impact for the kids: I’ll be honest, I didn’t really know what Tae Kwon Do was. I was totally ignorant and generally just thought of karate kid (I am a child of the 80s ?). I now know and have seen the light. Simply put, “this is the way.” More adequately, this is one of the greatest enrichment activities I’ve run across for the kids. And let me just say, I have a lot of experience (soccer, swimming, music, etc.).For details: the first class is free. I recommend going with a friend. It is a bit of a shock the fist time because the energy and movement is high, but I can confidently say it is not chaos.You should try this place out.“
