What Our Students Are Saying
The teacher master mark is very dedicated to teaching his students and I have seen a lot of improvement with my kids. The kids that go there are very friendly and this made my kid have good habits at home or anywhere we may go. I really suggest this school!
Sabumnim Mark is an excellent teacher. My kids loved the experience. And I enjoyed being able to participate with them. It was great working towards the goal of reaching the next belt with my daughters. Can’t recommend this enough!!!
World Class Taekwondo has been such a great experience for our son. He absolutely loves going to classes and WC has great rates for unlimited classes. Our son is looking forward to continuing to belt up under the leadership of Master Mark.
The best Korean Martial Arts/ Taekwondo school in Central Florida. Certified Master Instructor. I had a wonderful time while attending this school and I have been to many Taekwondo schools throughout the country. Master Mark is a wonderful instructor with attention to detail. He really wants the student to succeed. A safe and clean environment for all. Learn: self-defense, life skills, punching, kicking, and fighting/sparring.
Master Mark and his wife Mrs. Elaine are very nice people and they care about the kids! The program is wonderful and the classmates are friendly and respectful. Master Mark is always teaching and supervising the training. My kids feel in their second home. Thank you Master Mark!
Such a wonderful family atmosphere. Master Mark is such a great teacher and knows exactly how to make the kids relax and have fun. You see many parents training along side their children which really shows you how close the people who go there are.
