Canโt say enough about Better Families ! We joined this summer to help our son improve his focus and attention, and in only a few months we have seen a huge change !
Master Karen and Master Tristan work so well with him and his peers. They really take the time to get to know the families in their martial arts community and make sure that everyone feels like family !

My son has been attending this Taekwondo school for 8 years, he started when he was 3 years old, and we couldnโt be happier with the experience. The instructors are absolutely wonderful, supportive, and always encouraging. Over the years, theyโve not only taught him martial arts skills, but also discipline, confidence, and respect. Weโre so grateful for the dedication and kindness of the instructors, and I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a positive and welcoming martial arts place.

Karen and her crew have turned a sport into a true down to earth family activity, not only did she encourage me to bring my boys but she made it possible by offering ASD friendly dojo and special needs friendly activities, my kids feel at home here and comfortable to learn and be themselves. A special shout out to Elizabeth, Mr. Bryan, Antone, Kayla and Diego, thank you for having a wonderful place my kids can feel like family.
I also wanted to add that Better Families is a women ran small business that gives back to the community and neighborhood, they are local.

Amazing, family-friendly Taekwondo studio. Easily becomes your kid's second home. Wonderful instructors who will motivate and lead by example. They truly live out the school's "student creed!" Master Karen, the owner, is Caring, present and involved. She will work with the individual needs of the students and their families to get the most out of their experience. Join Better Families if looking for a lifelong partnership between a taekwondo studio and your family.

My son has been enrolled at Better Families Through Tae Kwon Do for the last 4 years.
Not only is he capable now to defend himself but we have seen a tremendous change in his attitude and ability to deal with others. His grades at school have improved tremendously. Iโm proud to say he is now a principal honor student. Master Karen and the entire staff truly care about Dannyโs well being in all aspects of his life. We are so grateful to them and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to improve their lives. Let me also add that Danny will be testing for his Black Belt next month. We are so proud of him. Better Families Though Tae Kwon Do absolutely can take a lot the credit for his Triumph.
Thank You Master Karen and all of the staff that has shown so much love to him.

My kids could never commit to any sport or after school activity before we came to Better families. Since the day we walked in for a tryout, my kids said yes and they love it. The discipline and respect the kids learn will serve them for life. Karen is amazing, she is warm, close to the kids but strong. The right combination for a coach. Thanks better families for this experience!!!!

I used to go to this Tae Kwon Do school when I was a child back in the late 80's. When it was located on Bird Road. Now my son, Logan, attends classes at this new location.The location may be new, but the core values and principles are exactly the same. Passed down from one generation to the other, and so on. The instructors are truly amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and great with the kids. My son has improved in all aspects since he began attending classes, a relatively short rime ago. I highly recommend Better Families. Thank you Better Families!!

My daughter has been coming here for 5 years, since she was 5, and I think this place and the people are very special. They treat every child with positivity, friendliness, respect and support. Life lessons are part of the curriculum and that makes a difference in your child's learning. There have been many teachers in her path, mostly high school or college aged and each one has been so attentive and great that you know it's just part of the spirit here. The Grand Master and Masters remain the same always and are family, which also makes it special. Also, you see a lot of families taking class together which is beautiful. Dads and their kids, moms too. They keep the place exceptionally clean and are always concerned for their students. I can see the positive influence this place has had on the development of my child. And I don't say any of this lightly!

For me Better Families is the Ivy League of the Martial Arts Schools. Having a Grand Master and an incredible amount of Masters that few if any other school can brag about. Dynamic curriculum and classes, amazing instructors and a contagious camaraderie among students, parents, friends and personnel. It is not only its self defense/Tae Kwon Do teachings, but its attention to detail and its prerogative on discipline that makes it the place to be to enjoy a family experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend Better Families through Tae Kwon Do. I have been a student there for almost ten years now, and they have become my second family in every sense of the word. The staff and instructors have always welcomed me with a smile, and they've never failed to be there for me in my time of need. Better Families has become such a valuable part of my life. Not only have I learned how to properly defend myself in any situation, but I have also become more disciplined, respectful, and responsible. I cannot express the gratitude that I have for Better Families, and without them, I wouldn't be the well-rounded person that I am today.

My son didn't go to classes for two months but they charge for them .. they only think in money , not in the kids progress ... the owner told us she was going to make a refund but never did it ... happy I finally took my son from that academy they didn't let me because I have to pay for a year .... NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL !!!

That was very different from any other activities that I was apart of. I now have twin boys that are 2 years old and my wife and I are very excited to see them in the Little Dragons class!!
