Testimonials
Our Families Said…
Multi-Generational Students
American Taekwondo Academy is a wonderful place for children and adults to learn Taekwondo! I even attended Mr. Hamlet’s class when I was 11yrs old and that was 25yrs ago ☺️
My husband and I just recently signed our 10yr old triplets up with Mr. Hamlet’s class and they are already learning so much. My kids feel so comfortable attending his class. Mr. Hamlet is a very patient, kind, caring, and respectful instructor and you can truly tell that he loves what he does! His prices are extremely reasonable as well. The only thing I regret is not signing my children up sooner!

Instills Patience
My 6 year old son has been attending Hamlet’s Taekwondo Academy for approx. 1 year, possibly longer. I have been extremely blessed to observe the growth in confidence, maturity and drive in my son. Sensei is the source of this blessing. He is a man of Integrity, Respect, Honor and Principle. He instills it into these kids with such patience.

Improvement in my Grandkids
I am delighted with Hamlet’s Taekwondo; in a very short time, I have seen improvement in my grandkid’s self-esteem, behavior, and moods. He teaches respect, honor, and manners. I appreciate that in the half-hour class time. He does not mess around with kids who do not pay attention or do as they’re told; he will also address the parents who are inconsiderate of the class in process. As a parent/grandparent, his class time is valuable. We are paying for the kids to learn taekwondo, not for him to babysit our kids or us. Hamlet’s Taekwondo, Thank you!
