My son has been taking taekwondo here for a few months and he loves it! We also had his birthday party here. The other parents whose children attended his party had nothing but great things to say about it. We were all very impressed with Mr. Johnson and how great he was with the kids and the skills that he taught them.

My child loves TaekwoDo with Mr. Alvarez. He looks forward to each class, the challenge of earning his next stripes and belts, and the sense of accomplishment from each achievement. As a single parent without any back up at home, I appreciate that the school teaches its students about the foundational concepts of courtesy, discipline, and respect. I have seen my kiddo gain so much confidence here! The staff has been very helpful, patient, and kind. Mr. Johnson runs a tight ship. I highly recommend this school!

My son has been going to this gym for around 6 months now. He often complains about not wanting to go anywhere, but even if he hesitates when going to TaekwonDo, he ALWAYS comes back talking about games or what he learned or what he's working toward. The staff challenges but also encourages without letting the kids run around crazy. It's a very good environment for my 9 year old son.

Our son joined ATX TKD as a summer camp for two weeks. His passion for martial arts has grown since this time and he continues with the after school program they offer. He has learned patience and perseverance while training for each successive level. The entire team has a children focused approach that allows students to grow at their pace. This is a highly successful after school program that our family values tremendously.

I learned here throughout my elementary school years, including summer camps, after school, and even school holidays and I cannot express the gratitude that I have for Mr. Johnson, Ms. English, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, and all the others along the way and how they have shaped me into who I am today. I never felt annoyed or inconvenienced to come to class, and it was like a secondary home for me. Alas when middle school rolled around, the work and the distance made it very hard to continue. I stopped after I achieved my goal of obtaining first degree, level two black belt. I am now writing this as a rising sophomore in the class of 2024, I have a job, a place in this world. And while those memories may be long in the past, this was my first place I could truly be myself and I've implemented their teachings of Honor, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, Courage, Community, Strength, Humility, And Knowledge into my everyday life. There Isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of these memories, and they were worth every moment. Mr. Johnson and Co., Thank You For Shaping Me Into The Man I Am Today.

I went here for around 7 years until I got my black belt. It was amazing, the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable and the environment is perfect. If I could do it again I would

Master Johnson, Ms. English, and the other senseis are super nice and helpful. My daughter is quite shy and they have helped her come out of her shell. I'd highly recommend them.

My kids love going here. All the staff are really friendly and make great role models for the kids. My older son attends every afternoon and it is a great way to burn off his energy, while enhancing his discipline and focus.

Have had the pleasure of training under Master Johnson a couple times in my taekwondo career. He's been nice enough to travel to Phoenix Arizona a couple times to teach seminars at our academy. Great instructor! He's so great at keeping a focused class as well as throwing in some humor! Learned so much from him and I look forward to learning more in the future!

I have had the pleasure of training with Senior Master Johnson a few times in my martial arts career. The only thing keeping us from training more often together is a 1000 mile journey from Phoenix to Austin. What an incredible and passionate instructor! His enthusiasm is always elevated and I'm sure diffuses down to the other amazing instructors. You will find no better than Taekwondo Plus!

I trained at this location for quite a few years and know many of the instructors well. They are hard working and dedicated, they want to see students be successful in martial arts. After moving out of state I am now a full time martial arts instructor, I credit my career to the team at South Austin TaeKwonDo Plus.

My son has been with Taekwondo Plus for I believe at least two years now. The instructors there do a really great job in teaching the students about taekwondo, as well as about life, responsibility, respect, etc. I've seen real growth in my son as he's been a student there including improved focus and perseverance. I appreciate the environment Mr. Johnson has created at his school and we've had a great time being there and getting to know other students and parents.

We love this place. The instructors are positive and teach kids both technical skills as well as life skills. Classes are small enough for individual instruction and group activities. I have seen my shy uncoordinated preschooler blossom and demonstrate self control and leadership. Birthday parties are a blast here as well.

Our 7 year old daughter started in October. I had previously signed her up for basketball, soccer, gymnastics, cheer, and dance. She never really clicked with any of those sports. We were a little apprehensive about trying out yet another sport, but after her first class with Mr. Johnson, she was hooked! All the instructors are so knowledgeable and welcoming. Each has their own way of teaching which allows students to receive the information in various ways. They are all very patient and caring with the students no matter the belt level. In addition to learning taekwondo, my daughter is also learning how to be a better person. It is refreshing to see character education built into the daily classes. She has learned to apply this knowledge to her everyday life. It’s nice to see my daughter excited about going to class. She can’t wait for each class and talks about it well after it ends.

Mr. Johnson, Ms. English, Mr. & Mrs. Davis are fantastic instructors. All really care about the students both children and adults. I have confidence knowing my kids are learning in a safe environment. My older son has being off campus PE credit for AISD and my younger son has been learning confidence, skills and greatly improved his balance and coordination. I world recommend this place to anyone. Perfect for children and adults. They offer Taekwondo, yoga and Brazilian Jujitsu. There truly is something for everyone at a reasonable cost.

Taekwondo Plus is great! We've found it to be a very welcoming community, and a great fit for our family. Our four girls are so excited about what they're learning that my husband and I are giving it a try, too! Fun and exercise for the whole crew, all in one spot - sweet.

Mr. Johnson and all the instructors are wonderful! My 6 year old & 16 year old are learning so much and love going to class. My husband has joined them now and made it a family event. I love seeing my boys grow in strength & maturity and it is all due to the nuturing and strong leadership. The class times are very convenient and the after school program and camps are fun for the kids and helpful for the parents. We are proud to be part of this Taekwondo family.

Our son, Miles, enjoys going to Tae Kwon Do classes, especially Saturday mornings with Mr. Davis. Miles has one of the biggest smiles of the week after leaving Mr. Davis' class. Miles started attending South Austin TKD this past summer during summer camp and is now a level one green belt. I would recommend the classes and camps for children of all ages!

Amazing instructors and many class times and schedules to come as little or as much as you'd like! Highly recommend to anyone for Yoga or Tae Kwon Do. Our son loves attending every class we can make and asks to go on Sunday's! As a parent, I am excited to see him thrive and do so well and stay committed and excited. Not to mention the flexibility of when we can attend for one low monthly fee!

Our son has had the best life experiences so far for a 7year old. It's become part of our family lives and miss it when we cant attend a class due to other functions. Taekwondo builds character, self esteem, confidence and many more attributes. They gain respect from their classmates in and out of class. overall, it's a big thumbs up A year later and Jacob is now at a Level 1 Kids BlackBelt. Mr. Johnson, Ms. English, Mr & Mrs Davis are awesome. We've been there 3 years now and it's always been like family. Come join a wonderful group of folks.

When my sons joined Taekwondo Plus they announced they would someday earn their black belts. This past spring, five years later, they did just that. Some students achieve this goal sooner, others later. My sons did so at their pace, not the schools, and that's one of the reasons I have enjoyed sending them to Mr. Johnson's school. They have never been rushed through the process, or made to feel bad about a lack of progress. On the contrary, they have been supported and guided along every step of the way by the qualified, caring instructors. Along the way they were consistently and constantly reminded of the tenets of taekwondo, the same tenets my wife and I live our lives by. These tenets, such as, honesty, integrity and self-control, are so important in a young person's development. To see these being taught just as often as a form, non-contact skill or board breaking technique gives me confidence that Mr. Johnson is interested in developing the total person.

My son has been attending since the beginning of the year and he loves it. It has taught him discipline and that hard work will pay off. I have seen him grow so much in his core strength, balance and confidence. Each teacher is great and they all bring a different style to the table.

Tae Kwon Do Plus has been wonderful for my son. I decided to sign him up when he was 5 years old because he was very shy and was bullied by other boys a lot. I thought Tae Kwon Do would be helpful and indeed it proved to be just that. He quickly gained the skills he needed to defend himself without fighting and he also gained a lot of self confidence. He's 14 years old now and has never had a problem with bullies again. The instructors are fantastic. They instill discipline and integrity into their students. I highly recommend it!

My son has been with South Austin TKD for several years now. This is an excellent program with excellent leaders. My son has grown in leaps and bounds, not only in physical stamina, but also in discipline and respect. I thank Mr. Johnson and his team of professionals for helping my wife and I to teach our son important life skills that will help guide him throughout his life.

My daughter has been attending this martial arts school and always looks forward to the next class. The instructors exemplify self- confidence and positive attitudes. They instill the drive within students to achieve and set goals to strive to be their best. I would recommend this center to anyone.

I have a child and a teenager taking lessons at this TKD center and have had for over 2 years. I am extremely pleased with the level of instruction given to my children. I also appreciate the amazing patience the instructors have with my more distractible child. I would recommend this center to anyone.

Enrolled our son during the summer time and he loves it. It has helped with his discipline, his manners, and his confidence. It also has given him something else to do except play video games all day. My son cant wait for class and loves showing off his new belts and stripes when he earns them. All the instructors are great. Would this place recommend to anyone.

We have been attending this martial arts school for nine years. We love the staff and the friendly atmosphere. My children were encouraged to participate, never left feeling like they couldn't achieve their goals if they worked and asked for help. They have learned to defend themselves, but more importantly they are told over and over if they are in a situation that becomes dangerous, the best plan is one that allows you to escape, not just fight. The yoga program is great too. When health issues forced me to stop Tae Kwon Do, I moved to the yoga program. The instructors there are also great, I never knew I could sweat so much by doing stretches. Some of the classes are very light-hearted and laughter is the norm, with lots of friendly support from the rest of the class.

When it comes to Human Beings, there are none better than the Johnson's. I have known them 20 years and both Toni and Richard are extraordinary role models. This has filtered down to the instructor staff and, of course, the student body. The atmosphere is friendly and the training is a challenge. I have been doing martial arts for 25 years and would most certainly recommend South Austin Taekwondo to any one. By: Tim McCulloch
