Both my kids (age 10 and 8) have had a fantastic experience at Tyves Taekwondo. They have been going there for past 5 years. Master Badri is amazing in what she does. It’s not just a place to learn taekwondo techniques but also a space to deeply understand the spirit and discipline of the sport. The classes are motivating and personalized, making it easy to grow, no matter your skill level. Learning about Poomsae , Sparring, working as a Team , teaching other students as you earn your belt level. From the first visit, you can feel the dedication and depth of experience, which inspires great confidence. The teaching style is especially thoughtful and systematic. Classes are tailored to students at different levels from beginners to advanced practitioners ensuring that each student receives personalized instruction. Every movement is carefully explained and corrected, helping students progress steadily. Master Badri also provides detailed feedback throughout, which is incredibly encouraging and motivating. It’s clear that Master Badri is truly passionate about teaching and committed to helping each student grow. The atmosphere at the school is warm and welcoming. Positive environment makes it easy for newcomers to feel at ease right away. Both kids and adults can participate comfortably, and there’s a wonderful sense of camaraderie among the students. This is an ideal place for anyone looking to strengthen both body and mind through taekwondo. Tyves Taekwondo is a great place for your child and older children who want to learn about self defense, body and mind control.

Our experience with TyVes Taekwondo has been nothing short of exceptional. My younger brother has been training here for the past three years, and the positive changes we have seen in him are truly remarkable. His confidence, discipline, and overall character have grown tremendously under Master Badri guidance. Master Badri is not only an incredibly skilled instructor but also a mentor who instills important values such as respect, perseverance, and dedication in her students. She is deeply committed to her students’ growth, both in martial arts and in life. Her passion and dedication create an environment where students thrive, pushing themselves to become the best versions of themselves. We are incredibly grateful for the impact TyVes Taekwondo has had on my brother’s development. It is more than just a place to learn martial arts—it is a community that fosters strength, resilience, and lifelong skills. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a well-rounded, disciplined, and supportive martial arts experience.
Our kids have been attending this Taekwondo school and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Master Badri is an incredibly passionate and dedicated teacher who truly cares about each student’s progress. Her enthusiasm for Taekwondo is contagious, and she creates a positive, disciplined, and encouraging environment for the kids to grow both physically and mentally.
Both of my sons attend this Taekwondo school, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The master is not only highly professional but also deeply passionate about her school and students. She takes the time to recognize and nurture each child’s unique strengths, ensuring they feel valued and motivated to grow. Her dedication to discipline, respect, and skill-building shines through in every class. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the instruction is top-notch. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to advance, this school provides the perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. I have seen tremendous growth in both my sons—not just in their physical abilities but also in their confidence and character.
