Such an amazing facility and the staff does an incredible job with all of the kids who attend here. They came to our daughter’s school with a trial and she fell in love. She’s been attending ever since and we’ve seen such a difference in her. Would absolutely recommend!

I would like to give a shout out to all the instructors at Pro Taekwondo! They have a well-rounded program that also helps my son in other areas of his life, and most importantly they've made learning fun! If you're debating on where to go to learn martial arts for yourself or your kid, I wouldn't hesitate to set an appointment. The environment is awesome!

My son has been with Pro Taekwondo for 7 years (and counting), and it’s been an amazing journey. The instructors are skilled, supportive, and genuinely care about the kids. He’s grown so much in confidence, discipline, and fitness thanks to their guidance and friendships he has developed there. It’s a great environment, and I’d definitely recommend it to any parent...try it, you never know how much you or your child could love it after just 1 session!

ProTaekwondo has been an absolute life changer for my son. In just a few years, he’s almost progressed to Black Belt and has learned so much! We’ve watched him grow from a timid boy to a confident young man. We’re so grateful for the instructors and Master Somi who have continued to dedicate time to him and the class he’s in. Thank you so much!

Very happy to be part of the Pro TKD family. It's been very rewarding for our student and he looks forward to his classes every week. They emphasize positivity and discipline in a way that we think is highly beneficial, while also building strength and fitness in a fun environment.

We really appreciate the positive changes that we’ve seen in our son over the years while attending classes at the Millhopper location. Master Somi and her team have been great about listening to our questions and concerns as our kid had never been in any type of large group extracurricular class. We’re honestly amazed that he’s stuck with this activity for so long, but we think that he’s come to appreciate the structure & routine that comes with martial arts.

They are very welcoming and supportive of each child. They clearly cultivate an environment that the children feel reinforced to work hard for their belt upgrades. They maintain strict rules and have the students complete biweekly “responsibility” charts to earn merits towards a higher belt. Definitely would recommend:)

Pro Taekwondo School (Millhopper) is an amazing place to be. I have joined the school with both my kids about 3 years ago. I have to admit our experience goes beyond our expectations. Three words come to mind when thinking about Pro Taekwondo: Respect, Unity, and Resilience. My family and I love the school, but more importantly Master Somi and her amazing team.
Thank You Pro Taekwondo for what you have been doing.

They’ve created a positive, welcoming environment that makes learning taekwondo both fun and challenging.

Choosing Pro TKD is the best decision I ever made in my life, I love the way they treat my son.Being a single mom a form that taekwondo educates my son helps me a lot in discipline for him to become a great man and a good character with important values for the formation he is as a man, I am very grateful for everything you guy have done for me and my son Ravi.
I extremely recommend Pro TKD if you want your son too have discipline and perseverance in life.

I was searching for a martial arts school that would take my 3 year old son. He is very active and curious about everything. Most schools won't let toddlers join until about 4 years old. This was the place! My son went through a series of test to see if he was ready to join the class. He passed and we immediately signed him up. I can truly see a difference in him and he really enjoys the class. I simply love ProTaekwondo! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We love this place. There are no other words that I can use to express my feelings about it. It’s a commitment for both the kids and the family. It’s no small feat to get them to practice twice a week. This fact is often recognized and discussed during class. However, just speaking of what taekwondo has done for my family, I have seen my shy but sociable child truly come out of his shell. He talks to his friends at school about the lessons he learns in taekwondo. He’s learning self discipline and that he is responsible for his actions and the consequences that can come with those choices. These are all things we’re trying to teach at home, but his teachers help him understand too. He’s five! These are big lessons for a five year old to learn, but here he is! The love and support that his instructors give him, you can just tell that they truly care about your child. Their passion for teaching shows in class, every day. If this review finds you, and you’re on the fence about choosing taekwondo as your kids extracurricular activity, I’m here to tell you you can’t go wrong with this place. We have truly enjoyed our time and do not regret this choice at all!

- Unfortunately, it feels like there is more concern for money than for education.
- Extra fees for belt exams without informing at the beginning, while paying upfront. No response to email when asked, but they are quick to reach out when offering another long-term commitment.
- No prior notification given when cancelling the appointment before you went there.
- Relative short classes after warm-ups with no real progress. It feels more like a hobby for kids. it is not worth the money paid compared to the time spent.

Contract binding company. Once they reel you in, that's it...all show off. No real trainings, just scam. Good to stay away. Use a third party company for payments and they will harass you for money.

Worth every penny! My 8 year old son was shy, struggling with dyslexia, would not raise his voice louder than a whisper on his first day at taekwondo, and a year later he is a different child, transformed completely! At his most recent belt graduation his father and I were in tears as he volunteered to read from the oath in front of everyone and read it with a loud, clear and confident voice! He yelled, kicked and punched with his friends and showed excitement when he received his medal and certificate. There is no amount of thanks or money that we could give pro taekwondo for helping our son find his voice and confidence! He struggled with his right and left all year and the instructors were always patient and kind. They will work with children with exceptionalities (I have a doctorate in special education so I know some of the students had exceptionalities) and do an excellent job. They are firm, fair, and consistent. They also make class so much fun. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Master Somi and all of the instructors at this location of Pro Taekwondo in Gainesville, FL!

I started taekwondo a few years ago out of state to work on confidence and self control, then I moved to Florida and my parents wanted to keep me in martial arts, and found Pro Taekwondo. It has done wonders overall not for my confidence, self control, focus and discipline, but also for my physical health. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a fact paced environment with friendly people and great lessons.

Our family was a part of Pro TKD for a little over a year and a half. Our daughter was 8 when we originally signed up after a school fundraiser they offered. It was ok at first, though we really struggled to figure everything out since nothing is really explained. Just pay and show up. There is an enormous amount of pressure put on these kids. Our daughter already struggled with anxiety and the promises of empowering her, didn’t happen. It made it all much worse. Our doctors asked us not to return for her sake. Since then, we’ve just been paying the rest of our 3 yr contract, because there is no out for “preexisting conditions”. They are great at convincing desperate parents that they will help their children but then completely ghost them when they are struggling.

We did not feel that it was worth $170 a MONTH, on top of uniform and brand new equipment prices, while also paying for each belt graduation, until we were already in it for a few months and already locked into a 3 yr contract. When I tried contacting them about paying out our contract and reasons why we weren’t continuing, we never received a response. Thankfully we were able to contact the contract company directly for the answers we were seeking since ProTKD couldn’t be bothered.

Also, a big red flag should have been the entry for a $50 gift card raffle if you left a 5 star review at every graduation.

I cannot say enough about this program and their instructors. My daughter joined when she started second grade. She was diagnosed with severe ADD, as well as two learning “difficulties” (dyslexia and dysgraphia). She struggled with her confidence in every aspect of her life. Her first practice, she cried and protested from the minute we left the house. She did not want to come anymore. Within a few weeks of jointing Pro TKD she absolutely fell in love with this school and the instructors. Every single one of them are absolutely amazing with these kids. It’s been a year, and my daughter is excelling academically. Pro TKD gave her the confidence she was needing. She has made friends, but more importantly she has found a mentor she can trust. Thank you Pro TKD for everything you do, not only for my family, but the school board, and the community as well.

Three of my coworkers and I have been going here for a month and we have absolutely enjoyed every second of it! It makes for great team building!

Even though our classes have been in a group setting, they still find the time to correct mistakes you may be making while learning new forms/techniques, and give you the feedback you need.

I feel I have already improved focus (both at taekwondo and outside of it), coordination, balance, and strength in the time that I’ve been here.

They have a great culture here that emphasizes discipline, doing the right thing, teamwork, leadership, and many other skills that can be transferred into life outside of taekwondo!

It’s a great environment that is welcoming, and just a great group of people who are all trying to better themselves and achieve their goals.

I couldn’t recommend it enough, no matter the age group! Master Somi, Master Phong, Instructor Lee, and Instructor Rose are all great to work with!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr Magbanua for quite some time now, and I can honestly say that he is one of the most dedicated and passionate martial artists I have ever met. As an owner of a martial arts school myself, I know how challenging it can be to run a successful business while also delivering high-quality instruction to your students. However, Mr Magbanua seems to do it effortlessly, and with a smile on his face.
What sets Mr. Magbanua’s school apart is the incredible sense of community that he has fostered. The students are not just students, but they are family. Mr. Magbanua truly cares about each and every one of his students, and it shows in the way he teaches and interacts with them.
The curriculum at Mr. Magbanua’s school is also top-notch. He has a deep understanding of the martial arts, and has developed a program that is both challenging and rewarding for students of all ages and skill levels. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with all the necessary equipment for training.
Overall, I highly recommend Mr Magbanua’s school to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a supportive and engaging environment. Mr. Magbanua is a true professional and a great role model for all martial artists, and I feel privileged to know him.

We enrolled our 5 year old son in hopes of learning better listening skills and respect. Pro Taekwondo did not disappoint. Our son has taken to the lessons so well and strives to earn his next strip every week. He has improved at school and home in both areas we were concerned with. And he LOVES the classes, learning all the moves, and his instructors. His instructors are obviously passionate about what they do and I appreciate the attention they give my son.

Pro Taekwondo is a wonderful school. The amount of learning is endless. There is a balance of fun and learning in every class. The instructors show how Taekwondo is more than just punches and kicks. They show you how you can tie in Taekwondo with real life. Everyone is very kind and helpful. I am very grateful to be apart of the Pro Taekwondo family.

My kid has been training in this school for a while now and I have seen her grow in the process. What I like the most is the sense of community and belonging that my kid has developed, and that she feels safe while in there, physically and mentally. for example, If a kid do not break a board in an exam, they had more opportunities and everybody cheers for them. I also like that the instructors discuss with them the different values that goes along with the practice of Taekwondo, which are the same as those needed to be part of the society.

My 5 year old son has almost completed his first year at Pro Taekwondo. I can not say enough about how the instruction and curriculum of this school has helped him to develop his focus and discipline, areas in which he struggles, this year. There is an emphasis on progress over perfection. There is built in character education. They work on celebrating the child’s progress in class, at school and at home through weekly job lists. There are multiple instructors working with the students to help them with their forms and focus in a developmentally appropriate way.

My son is 5 years old and started two months ago. He is on an IEP for school and one of the biggest things he struggled with was social behavior skills. Prior to joining he was at a 4/10 in that area within his IEP. After just two months in this school and the structure they provide he has jump to mastery level in all area’s within social behavioral skills which is a 8/10. This school has done wonders as far as helping us provide structure and respect not just in school and class, but at home as well. Would highly recommend.

We love Pro Taekwondo! All the teachers are caring and excellent instructors. We have enjoyed watching our boys grow in confidence and skill. The program is great for building self-esteem because every child advances through the belts as long as they put forth their best effort and do what they can with the skills. Belt tests are every 10 weeks, so they're learning to work toward long-term goals. The school offers a parents' night out program every few months, which always focuses on a fun theme. I highly recommend this school!

My Grandson began attending Pro Taekwondo at the Millhopper studio at the end of the school year. His instructors and all of the staff have been instrumental in good communication, skill building and encouragement with him. The class size is perfect and the teacher child ratio is set in a way that each child gets special attention. In a short window of time I have seen my grandson's self-esteem grow.

This is the kind of prizes they use to get customers for their business. Today the children at the Event against violence at Santa Fe College, made a huge line to play the wheel of fortune to finally get a small piece of plastic like this amorphous thing in the picture. Their promotions are very economic the first month but afterwards are very expensive, my boy is very sad about it.

My children, girl (8.5) and boy (7) have been attending the Beginner and White Belt classes at Pro Taekwondo since March of this year. Due to COVID19, we had to take a break from classes and are just now getting back into the routine. I have been thoroughly impressed with Instructor Somi and their entire organization. The kids were unable to attend the online classes but have been very excited to return to the (limited capacity) in-person meetings. Our family has no personal experience with martial arts but we do believe the structure, discipline and confidence-building exercises can only serve to benefit our two children. I especially appreciate the way the instructors focus on positive reinforcement by encouraging the students to complete 'job lists' at home/school demonstrating their ability to complete simple household chores, manage their time and do well in school. The entire program encourages a lot of communication and support and involves the parents, taekwondo instructors and the school/teachers.
