What Our Students Say
My son (11 yrs.) has been going there for almost a year and he loves it. He gets himself ready and likes to go in early to help with the younger kids before his class. They don’t just teach taekwondo, they teach respect for others (especially parents) and personal responsibility. Jen Garrant2024-07-19 It's the best. My kid is always ready for his taekwondo classes. Apart from taekwondo, they also give importance to emotional strength, moral values and discipline. Lots of positive energy here. My son loves Master C and is always looking forward to see him. RitIka Patel2024-07-08 We have been super happy with Baystate Taekwondo. My child is a newer member (white belt) and we have been continuously surprised and genuinely warmed by the attention and support she receives. Master C and Mister Liam give each child attention and really highlight when kids are doing well and offer supportive feedback on exactly how they can improve when they need do. It's a disciplined but fun environment and my daughter has absolutely loved her instructors and the classes. Master C and Mister Liam do a great job of differentiating with students, when they see someone could be capable of pushing the skill they are teaching, they will ask them to go a bit further. I have found both instructors to be exceptional and really can't say enough good things about them. Mister Liam is new to Baystate and is a fantastic addition. On my daughter's first class she got really anxious and cried and Mister Liam talked to her in a caring and sensitive way, sharing his own experience starting as a young child, and then he stood next to my daughter coaching her along her whole first class. From then out (2nd and 3rd classes) he would check in with her more regularly but begin to separate to give her independence until she was completely fine on her own. As a parent and educator, I was floored by this level of care and it made a huge difference for my child as well. Angela Wong2024-07-06 BayState TKD is the best!!! This is a true school of TKD and not a black belt factory. My daughter has taken class for three years and is immensely happy with Master C as her instructor. Master Liam is also a very high level addition the instuctors. Master Alves, the owner, loves his job and cares about the quality of instruction and adherance to TKD Kukkiwon standards. I also take instruction and have been at another school before and honestly feel this is the best school for serious students and even those looking for getting into better shape. I love Bay State TKD! Christian R Estrella2024-07-06 My daughter has been going there for a couple years and has developed self confidence, self defense skills, and now even loves to compete! Great place with great instructors. Erica Borghi2024-07-06 Fantastic Taekwondo School for Kids! I am thrilled to write this review for Baystate Taekwondo, where both of my children attend classes. One is a black belt, and the other is a green belt, and they both actively participate in competitions. Our experience with Baystate Taekwondo has been nothing short of exceptional. First and foremost, the atmosphere at Baystate Taekwondo is incredibly welcoming and warm. From the moment we stepped into the school, we felt like part of a community dedicated to martial arts excellence and personal growth. Recently, the school introduced new classes for a Demo Team and Nunchucks, which have been a huge hit with my kids. They eagerly anticipate each lesson and have shown remarkable progress and enthusiasm since starting these classes. The instructors at Baystate Taekwondo are top-notch. They are not only highly skilled but also genuinely invested in the development of each student. They strike a perfect balance between discipline and encouragement, which has been instrumental in my children's martial arts journey. Overall, I couldn't be happier with Baystate Taekwondo. It's more than just a place for martial arts training; it's a place where kids can learn, grow, and build confidence in a supportive environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Baystate Taekwondo to any parent looking for a quality martial arts school for their children. Luba Levin2024-07-03 My daughter was first introduced to Baystate Taekwondo through a program that let her take classes for a few weeks as a way to sample taekwondo instruction. Since then, she’s really taken to it and now we are a full members. There is such a great sense of community here and the instructors balance both a sense of fun and playfulness with instilling discipline and confidence in their students. My daughter has gained a wonderful boost to her self-image since her time here and this is the first activity she has stuck with beyond a few times! Could not recommend Baystate more! Brian Wong2024-07-03 Our son has been going to Bay State Taekwondo for just about 1 year and we've seen huge growth with his behavior, confidence and athletic ability. Master Alves and his wife are welcoming and run a great facility. We've been very pleased with our experience! Our son loved Master C from the moment he met him. He engages the kid's in a fun and silly way but also commands their respect. This type of approach keeps young kids coming back and builds their confidence along the way. Master Liam recently joined the studio and he and Master C make a strong duo. Their teaching styles really complement one another and both genuinely care for the students. We highly recommend Bay State for anyone who's looking for a great experience! Kelley Ash2024-07-02 My grandson has been taking instruction in Taekwondo at Baystate Taekwondo Academy for about 9 months now. I am impressed with the progress he is making, while I watch him truly enjoy the wonderful teaching environment provided. Because he is learning self-control, discipline and integrity, the instruction provided goes far beyond the four walls of the academy. Plus, as a grandparent, I really enjoy being part of the Baystate Taekwondo Academy community! Nancy Joyce2024-07-02
