Don't just take our word for it... Here's what others are saying about is...
Mr. Hamilton and WTTU Family Tae Kwon Do has changed my life and helped me improve no end. Beginning in Jr. High Tae Kwon Do quickly gave me confidence and encouragement that I was needing as a young teenager. The confidence I gained from the hard work and dedication of Mr. Hamilton helped me in school presentations, as a University student I still draw on the skills I have learned at Family Tae Kwon Do when faced with public speaking. Despite training for over 6 years I am always faced with new challenges in the workout and fitness of my classes and know I can count on Tae Kwon Do to get me sweating and get my heart racing. Mr. Hamilton has a unique ability to know what every student is capable of and the encouraging atmosphere I've encountered there has pushed me far more than I ever could have gone working out on my own. Mr. Hamilton is a great instructor and mentor to all his students and is patience, commitment and heart never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks for being such a good instructor and being someone I can proudly and happily recommend:0)! Have a great day Mr Hamilton:0)!
My family and I left another club because of a lot negativity we were experiencing. Wanting to teach my children the value of perseverance, we moved on, a little bruised and a little hurt- searching for a club that would teach us not only the sport of Taekwondo but something more...we just weren't sure what it was. We found (WTTU) Family Taekwondo two and a half years ago- fell in love with the school, the instructors, the atmosphere and the concepts and values they want to instill in the participants. (WTTU) Family Taekwondo is a great place for families and individuals who want to learn, be challenged, and grow in strength, skill and confidence. We still continue to train as a family...but no more negativity. Lots of smiles, lots of growth and confidence and nothing but an amazing club to be part of.
Our daughter Kalaya is 6 years old. She joined taekwondo in March (or was it April?) of 2010. She is a tiny girl who has had several health issues in the past couple of years. She took to Mr. Hamilton and the instructors at Family Taekwondo with an attitude and drive that surprised her father and I. The difference the school has made in both her emotional and physical health is hard to describe. Amazing is the only word that comes close. When one of her classes has to be re-scheduled, she gets very upset as she takes her lessons to heart. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made for her and will continue to support her for however long she stays with the school (can we get rocking chairs?).
I decided to enroll in Family Martial Arts nearly 2 years ago and I haven't looked back. I appreciate how Mr. Hamilton and the instructors are always there with a smile and willing to help. The training environment is one which can be very intense but always friendly. All the students treat each other with respect and care. What I noticed so far in my journey for black belt is that Mr. Hamilton works with you to achieve your goals. If you want to be Canada or World Champ, he will set out a plan of attack. If you want to become better at self defense, he will be sure to help you. And even if you just want to get back into shape, he will make sure you work hard and within your own limits to succeed. There are many available programs to start with; whether you want to become a black belt or even a school owner one day, what you put into it is what you will get out of it.
