Gabbyrielle C. says, "Master Steve helped my son build his confidence! Having a private lesson helped my son become more confident in many aspects of life. He used to kick and strike awkwardly, he said he feels like people around him is watching and making fun of him... well that's in the past. After he had his private lesson he can now go out and show his moves confidently, funny thing is TKD made him confident in everything he does now, Not like narcissistic confidence but it made him feel whole, he developed friends, and made him feel accomplished. Now I am doing it too , great bonding for me and my son ,It feels amazing. Private lesson with Master Steve is worth it because he patiently taught me and my son everything we needed to know. Thank you Master Steve for all your help! " Read more
