I cannot describe how much I love this place. I’ve been doing Taekwondo for 13 years. It’s shaped me into the person I am now. I cannot emphasize enough how supportive the people here are. I have gained confidence, determination, and communication skills over my many years here. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to learn at BST.

A shout out to Master Sorensen and the amazing staff at BST is long overdue. Beyond Sports Taekwondo is a school that truly goes beyond just the sport of taekwondo. If you want an exceptional program that cares about you as a person and a great taekwondo program, you have found it at BST. I have known Master Sorensen for decades now and she runs a top tier school!

Master Sorensen and her school are key leaders in our State in advancing Taekewondo and all of the positive impacts it has on students of all ages. She and her school are highly respected throughout Utah. I’m grateful for the mentorship she has provided me and for each interaction I’ve been honored to have with the students and leadership at Beyond Sports Taekwondo!

I adore Beyond Sports Taekwondo. It has fueled better physical and mental health, as well as a lot of personal growth, for me, and now my youngest child is beginning and already benefitting from his own taekwondo journey. BST offers a welcoming environment, which both challenges students to grow and allows adaptations for real physical limitations. The instructors are all excellent, and the variety in their areas of expertise and teaching approaches means everyone can find a learning environment that works well for them.

I absolutely love it here at Beyond Sports Taekwondo. I have been going here since the beginning. I got my 3rd degree black belt before taking a break and it taught me so many amazing things. I was more confidence in myself and my abilities. It made moving to new york for school and going on a mission in the Philippines for my church so much easier because I knew I could defend myself. I knew who I was and what I stood for. And I learned so many great things through not only Taekwondo, but also their leadership program. I was able to come back after years of being a way and continue on to get my 4th and 5th degrees. The programs they offer have continued to grow and improve. I know how two of my own kids in the foundations programs and love what they are learning. They learn discipline, focus, coordination, and so much more. We have started meditating at night before we go to bed to help them calm down and they absolutely love it. I will forever be grateful for Beyond Sports Taekwondo and how it has changed my life!

My sons have had a great experience taking classes at BST. The studio environment is very positive and very personal. The instructors know my sons well and challenge them to grow and improve their skills on an individual level. They each have very different personalities so for one son it is a wonderfully positive way to use his bottomless energy for something constructive; for my other son it has helped him to have more confidence in himself and stay physically active. For both of them they have learned that that they can take on challenges and succeed. They prepare for belt testing by demonstrating the skills they have learned for their specific ranks, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. But they also go beyond that by practicing service, courtesy, and integrity. As if that weren't enough, I love that each time they go they focus on having a positive attitude about life. Just last night we were on the way home after a long and tiring day. We had been out much later than usual and their little sister was melting down in the car (because when you're 6 and it's late and you're tired everything is terrible). My oldest son began talking to her and telling her about all of the good things that she could see in that moment. For me, that was golden!

Update: Since posting my original comments, my oldest son has earned his 3rd Degree Black Belt; his younger brother has earned his 2nd Degree Black Belt; and both of my daughters have also taken classes. And now, even though I'm over 50, I have started my own journey to becoming a Black Belt. Years ago, I started out with the intention of finding an after-school activity that would be fun for my kids, but what I have gotten is more like a family, a village. The instructors have gone above and beyond offering just a bit of exercise. My kids have gained mentors and made friendships. They have learned principles and values and a host of skills including leadership, communication, coping, and how to build healthy relationships. Parenting and being a kid these days is challenging. It's great to have people who really value each student as a part of a larger community. I can't overstate the positive influence this has been for my family.

Beyond Sports Taekwondo is the best martial arts place anywhere in Utah Valley. I started my oldest son there in 4th grade. He had severe ADHD and we were looking for a place to help him with impulse control along with a long list of behaviors. The teachers and Master instructors were EXACTLY what he needed. They were loving and accepting. Where he was once an outcast at other places like school he found friends and a place safe place to be himself. We found a place he was understood. My son is now a junior in high school and a 2nd degree black belt, and will be testing for his 3rd degree his Senior year. The friendships he has made at Beyond Sports will be long lasting. The Master instructors have become my family. I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for him and for me.
The focus is on making leaders and teaching kids the strong values like integrity, perseverance, self control, respect, endurance. I love the leadership program they offer when students turn 12. It is AMAZING the learning and growth that I have seen in my son. They really do train the leaders everyone looks for.
We have since put my other sons in and I see amazing things happening with them. They are becoming more confident and I see their anxiety lessening and they are becoming more confident.
They also recently started a preschool and afterschool program. When we bring our daughter home from China we are planning on enrolling her in their preschool because just like everything else it is outstanding and high quality education. I can't wait!
Seriously. I can't say enough AMAZING things about this studio. I love the program and love them!

Go Beyond Kids is a Montessori-method based learning evironment designed to stimulate the mental, physical and emotional well-being of the students. More than just "babysitting" kids, the teachers work with curriculum designed to prepare the preschoolers for kindergarten, develop social skills, and also actively move their bodies as well as exercising their minds. Our son loves to go each day, and gives me a full report of what they've learned that day. We love Go Beyond Kids and wish it covered more than just preschool!

For our family, Taekwondo at Beyond Sports is more than just a way to provide my children with an athletic outlet for their energy (though it is that as well) but it's a place to help solidify the values of courtesy, respect, self control, etc that we're teaching at home. It's a place where I can find support as a parent and my children are safe. Led by a team of caring adults, it's incredible to see the progress both athletically and emotionally that both of my boys have made since joining.

Learning Taekwondo here is great. They teach you well, and if you have questions, they will answer them for you. The equipment is great; it helps with learning and conditioning. However, to learn Taekwondo, you definitely need a lot of money to pay for everything, like paying monthly for regular classes, uniform, and color belt testing every 3 months. Also, when you get your green belt (5th belt), you're required to start sparring classes, and you need gear for that and, of course, the gear costs money. So if you really want to learn Taekwondo here, make sure to be committed to this because the stuff here at the studio can be pricey. Still, ever since I started learning Taekwondo, I got stronger, smarter, and more confident in my life. This is the only Taekwondo studio I've ever been to, but I'm pretty sure there are other great places to learn Taekwondo. You're free to explore other Taekwondo studios before deciding which one seems the best for you to learn Taekwondo.

I am incredibly grateful for the impact that this studio has had on my children and my family, but specifically my son. During our time at Beyond Sports, I watched him go from extreme social anxiety to friendly and happy. I went from considering keeping him back a year in school (he was a "preschool dropout") to watching him thrive in his kindergarten class. I saw my boy who rarely spoke confidently lead his class in another language.
His teachers and the other staff always call my kids (and me) by name. They care about our family. They care about the whole child- physical, mental, emotional. The energy at the studio is warm, caring, focused, and strong. The skills that my kids have learned there will serve them for their entire lives. I cannot say enough good about this studio!

Taekwondo has also really boosted my confidence. I've started making eye contact way more, and it's been noticed! Relatives have complimented me on my confidence. Anyways, I love taekwondo.

I have 4-year-old son that was struggling with post-deployment separation anxiety and in general with self esteem after his dad was gone to the middle east for a year. I felt that sports would help him so I took him to a Taekwondo academy, and although I knew that it was what he needed, he cried every class. Then we switched to Beyond Sports and it was evident from the minute we walked in that the environment was a lot better. Master Sorensen took a personal interest in him, and he could feel it. She would push him, but knew when to stop, and when he needed encouragement. It has made such a difference in his life, and I am very grateful for all he is learning and becoming. It has been such a good experience that my 7-year-old daughter begged me to take classes too, so they both do now, and they both love it!
Thanks

Beyond Sports Taekwondo is absolutely incredible. For me, doing this sport has made more confident in myself and I am more aware of what is around me. My reflexes are faster and my attitude is more positive. All of which make me a better athlete and a better person. The instructors give you one on one attention that you need so that you can succeed. I feel good knowing what I need to do to defend myself and what I need to do to have confidence in myself. I highly recommend doing taekwondo. It will make other sports easier to do because in taekwondo, you strengthen your hand-eye coordination which is needed in any sport.

I have been attending classes at Beyond Sports Taekwondo since 2003. In that time, I have learned and gained so much! I am much more confident, disciplined, and self-reliant than I was before I began, and I have watched that same kind of growth happen with each student who comes through. I love the skills that I get to learn and hone during classes--first and foremost, practical self defense, which I believe everyone needs. I also enjoy the sport of Taekwondo! Tournaments are a blast. But the best part of Beyond Sports Taekwondo, in my mind, is how it becomes like a second family. The instructors and students are close-knit, and welcoming of everyone who walks through the door. My husband and I attend together, and we hope that our children will also someday become BST black belts!

My family started taekwondo from Beyond Sports for my wife to learn a little self-defense in a community class. We were very impressed by the atmosphere and the instructors there and got my daughter signed up. She quickly learned respect, confidence, and hard work leading to great things. At a time when she struggled making friends at school, this really helped. I signed up later and have learned so much. I have built up confidence and strive to do my best in not only taekwondo but in whatever I am doing. I have found my confidence improved with my job, with my abilities, and being in front of people. The instructors encourage positive thinking and getting rid of negative thoughts that belittle ourselves and/or others. I have also seen them cater to kids with special needs in positive ways.

I joined Beyond Sports Taekwondo almost a year ago. Although I've been studying different martial arts for 21 years, and had gotten my black belt in a few different forms of MA (including Taekwondo), my black belts were only accepted in the studios I received them. I felt like all those years, and my hard work was pointless. I searched everywhere for a studio that would recognized any of them, and help me gain more skills. Then, I found Beyond Sports. After a Free Intro course with Master Sorenson (6th Dan), she placed me according to my skill level, and I will be testing soon to receive my INTERNATIONAL Black Belt Certification!
This place far exceeds any martial arts studio that I've ever trained with!
