The instructors really know their stuff when it comes to working with classes and individuals. TKO is not just a youth movement. At UTA I’ve discovered an inter-generational community. At 55 I’m not the oldest but I am respected by all. Thankfully, one of the articles of student commitment is “Be respectful to your elders.” It feels good to discipline my body and mind with the help of UTA instructors and fellow students. I’m glad I took the leap of faith and joined UTA. For me TKD has opened a new horizon of personal growth and relationships. At UTA I’ve found coaching, mentoring, training and a mat that feels really good on my bare feet!

CHAPEL HILL, NC

This year, my classes were pleased to participate in the P.E. Teacher for the Day program with United TKD Academy of Chapel Hill/Carrboro. Shay and Mike came and worked their magic with my students. Their lessons were engaging and fully participatory and emphasized focus, respect and discipline. The children were mesmerized and thrilled to learn the hammer fist, blocks, and kicks. We hope to be a part of this excellent program for years to come.

Dear Master Partridge,

Just a quick note to say Thanks for making me feel so welcome at your school. It’s never easy making changes but I’ve really enjoyed taking classes and meeting new friends! Your school is truly “Top Notch” and I’m glad to be part of it. Thanks again!!!

Dear Master Partridge,

Thank you for being such a great, fun, cool, Master. TKD has been so much fun ever since I was a White Belt+ – now I’m almost a Black Belt. You don’t know how much I talk about you at school because you arc both so much fun! Thank you for being such a great master! Love always, your TKD student!

I went through a lot of behavioral problems with Jordan his first year of school and his teachers INSISTED that I put him on medicine. I didn’t want to go that route with him so a friend recommended your school to me and I am so very glad I checked into it. It has been one and one half years since I enrolled him, and not only has he made a 20011/o tum around with his attitude towards school, but also at home. He looks forward to your classes and learning new moves. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all you both (and your team of leaders) have done for my son’s confidence level, and for being a positive role model in his life. from the bottom of my heart …THANK YOU!

I have two sons enrolled at the Chapel Hill location as part of the after school program. All of the Staff and instructors are excellent. My boys love the TKO instructions. have made many friends and I can see growth in them physically, but also and most importantly in their confidence, discipline, focus. manners, respect and attitude. Not just when they are around me, but also when they around other children who may not be displaying these traits. I am glad the UTA is a part of our village!

Love the school, great instructors. Still going strong at 58!

I could not ask for a better role model for my son than Grand Master Partridge! He and his team are very special and have been a huge part in molding my son into the wonderful young man he is becoming. A young man with respect, good manners, confident, loyal, and who loves to help others. A young man who I know will impact this world in a positive way carrying forth the values taught to him at UTA!
